[Da Best]

Jaya on 73

 

[Boi]

Creamed through Past Point by Jayawardene for Four!!

 

[On_the_up]

Mahela hurt by a short ball from Gul, hit him in the chest

 

[Da Best]

oooooohhhhhhhhh close one!!!!!

 

[Boi]

Hes hit im' Jayawardene way Early through the Shot and the Ball hits him right uner the ArmPit!

 

[Da Best]

Get them all out under 300 i'll be happy.

 

[On_the_up]

256-3 off 57

 

[Da Best]

Jaya needs to make a mistake somewhere.

 

[On_the_up]

if Sri lanka continue at this rate they will get 400 by close of play, obviously thats unlikely

 

[Da Best]

C'mon whose bowling now.

 

[Da Best]

Ok Danish.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Get them all out under 300 i'll be happy.

Are you for real, or just kidding ?

 

[Da Best]

Are you for real, or just kidding ?

Anything is possible.

 

[Da Best]

Anything is possible.

Because they only got to more batsman after these two.

 

[Boi]

50 for Samaraweera!

 

[Da Best]

C'mon Gul york the batsman!!!!

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

RR is 4.51

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Anything is possible.

Possible to wrap them up below 300 ?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

SL going hammer and tons here.

 

[Da Best]

Possible to wrap them up below 300 ?

Remember only two more batsman left , so it's still possible.

 

[Da Best]

SL going hammer and tons here.

You wish.

 

[Da Best]

Nanny Dani to continue.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

You wish.

Are baba, a run rate of 4.54 in Test cricket is simply fabulous. And I said that because Mahela smacked Gul for 2 boundaries in that over.

 

[Da Best]

Just checked Thilin Samaraweera profile and he a good bowler as well! ( offbreak)

 

[Da Best]

Are baba, a run rate of 4.54 in Test cricket is simply fabulous. And I said that because Mahela smacked Gul for 2 boundaries in that over.

Ok, ok i know.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Last 10 overs RR = RR 5.50

Pakistan will have to do something here, no point in waiting for things to happen.

 

[Da Best]

We need Arafat!!!

 

[Da Best]

At least 30 overs left so enough time.

 

[lollol]

This is getting painful guys....

 

[Da Best]

Jaya looked so shakey agaisnt Arafat when he first came into bat. C'mon Younus bring in Arafat!!

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Any hint of reverse swing?

arafat was reverse swinging it before tea i remember..

 

[dblock]

This is like the South Africa series in 2007 all over again.

Lose the toss on a batting friendly wicket and suffer in the field all day long.

 

[McBoom]

This is an embarrassment of a pitch.

No wonder no one bothers to turn up to watch test cricket in Pakistan. Who wants to see such a one sided contest?

 

[Boi]

Cracking Shot That Was From Samaraweera!

 

[dblock]

This is an embarrassment of a pitch.

Lets see both sides play first, you never know how SL might knock us over quick time.

 

[Boi]

S Khan Streching. Maybe a signal to Younis K that he wants to bowl!

 

[Boi]

Not a Good delivery from Malik and Samaraweera smashes it past Cover for Four!!

 

[McBoom]

Lets see both sides play first, you never know how SL might knock us over quick time.

If anything the pitch will play into Sri Lankan strength as we are seeing turn from day 1 so M&M will wreak havock I reckon. Should have made a hard bouncy pitch.

 

[Boi]

That Miss by Misbah has been very costly for Pakistan!

As I speak S Khan has been smashed for four by Jayawardene!

 

[Boi]

Sohail Khan is bowling too Wayward!!

Needs to tighten it up!!

 

[McBoom]

Rameez Raja with his usual bakwaas.

 

[Zaz]

If we cant take wickts at least we should be able to keep it tight

Gul going at 5 an over, sohail at 6. Its childish and pathetic

We need to bowl more of arafat who seems our best bowler

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

300 up for SL.

 

[Boi]

300 up for SL!!

 

[Boi]

Y Khan seems to be Over Aggressive!!

We just need to cut the runs down!! Wickets will come!

302-3

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Disaster for Pak if wickets don't fall soon.

 

[Boi]

143.2 Kph was the Last bowl by S Khan!

 

[Boi]

Good Yorker from S Khan! Dug out from Samaraweera and they get one!

 

[mali9]

yaar wait and see our bowling is okey but if they set 500 or plus which seem to be easy for sris at this point, we will be in trouble when we bat.

 

[mali9]

this match is drawn brothers dont watch it, i told you the result now.

 

[mali9]

Good Yorker from S Khan! Dug out from Samaraweera and they get one!

bro which channel is it on in uk do you know???? plz help

 

[HuZi]

Sohial is bowling faster now almost evry deilivery is 138-144

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

How many times have Jayawardene been dropped ?

 

[McBoom]

This length bowling by Sohail Khan on a pitch with no bounce & seam is just playing into Jayawardene's strengths. He needs to be more imaginative with this bowling.

 

[Zaz]

How many times have Jayawardene been dropped ?

Once i think,

What does it matter how fast khan is bowling when hes conceding 6 runs per over, no control whatso ever

 

[McBoom]

Y Khan seems to be Over Aggressive!!

We just need to cut the runs down!! Wickets will come!

302-3

You can't set a field for bad balls.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Once i think,

Catches win matches. I despise drooped catches.

 

[Boi]

You can't set a field for bad balls.

True

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

69.1 Sohail Khan to Samaraweera, FOUR, he's scored a lot of runs in the third-man region, short and wide, he just hangs his bat out to beat both gully and point

Same story all day long.

 

[Boi]

bro which channel is it on in uk do you know???? plz help

I'm not watching on a channel bro!
No One is UK probably is!

LOL!

I'm watching it on an online Stream!

 

[ataullah]

Sohial is bowling faster now almost evry deilivery is 138-144

His pace is there now but he looks wayward sadly. Potential is there but he's still raw.

 

[IronMan2009]

Good batting surface.

 

[pak4life]

its shocking its not being shown in the uk. Online streams zindabad

 

[On_the_up]

slogged through midwkt for some ore runs

 

[HeartOfPak]

SL murdering our attack which is pretty useless.

 

[On_the_up]

322-3 off 72

 

[On_the_up]

ooohhh, edge goes between wky and first slip

 

[On_the_up]

another slog up in the air but just too wide of a fielder

 

[On_the_up]

330-3 off 73 overs, 150 partnership up

 

[IronMan2009]

I take it Kaneria is still learning to bowl googly by bowling more.

 

[On_the_up]

This is an ideal base allowing M&M to attack

 

[On_the_up]

49 fours so far in the days play

 

[Boi]

OMG!! Just saw the TVN Stream now and its half an hour behind Actual feed!! LOL!!

Pathetic!!

 

[ahmed16]

This length bowling by Sohail Khan on a pitch with no bounce & seam is just playing into Jayawardene's strengths. He needs to be more imaginative with this bowling.

Its safe to say that Sohail is no Akhtar.

 

[On_the_up]

Kaneria just doesnt let the pressure build up, theres always a pressure release ball comingarpund the corner

 

[ahmed16]

Sohial is bowling faster now almost evry deilivery is 138-144

How about a wicket?

 

[On_the_up]

maybe younis should give himself a go

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

How about a wicket?

Had Jaya dropped on 41 - by Misbah

 

[Boi]

Bring Arafat on!!

He has been the best bowler by far!!

 

[ahmed16]

Kaneria just doesnt let the pressure build up, theres always a pressure release ball comingarpund the corner

And just to think, this guy was going to be the world 11's number one spinner in the "super test" if kumble had not been picked due to being a better batsman.
