Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Day 2 | Abu Dhabi | 19/10/11

[pakcricketfan]

LOL @ the ppers reaction here

I don't mind slow scoring, but what they've been doing is NO scoring at all!

Strike rotate ker lo bhaiyounn!

 

[Zamee]

Being defensive is worse then loosing !!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Current partnership 45 runs, 26.2 overs, RR: 1.70 (Taufeeq Umar 26, Azhar Ali 18

 

[asifp]

If these two bat this way, by the end of days play we will have a 10 run lead.

I thought the aim was to get a 300 run lead by end of Day 3. That way you get two full days to bowl at the Lankans.

 

[taqi]

can pakistan score 170 before tea ?

[utube]3Y29UhVBYxs[/utube]

Pakistan batting today is same as Dilip Kumar commentary in this clip

So Slow this is 2011 not 1991

 

[ZAK]

3 more to Taufeeq.

 

[asifp]

Also this slow Run rate can potentially cost us at the end. Sri Lanka might just be able to bat enough overs out in the 2nd innings to save the match and we have not enough overs to chase a target down.

No on is asking them to go T20, but asking for a run rate of 2.5? Is that too much?

 

[Amjid Javed]

I expect us to have 300 by close off today with a 100 run lead! fat chance off that unless these two snails get out!

 

[insaftak]

almost another 3 more

 

[asifp]

Last 10 ovs 21/0 RR 2.10 (MIRACLE!!)

 

[Amjid Javed]

Afternoon Session | 1/59 | 30 Overs | RR 1.97

 

[ZAK]

Taufeeq 65 (200)

 

[duostyle]

So they 'tuk' everything before this and then start hitting boundaries to make up for it?

Is this how batting in Tests is nowadays?

What happened to chingle duble?

 

[ZAK]

Tea.

174/1.

 

[Fawad2010]

I bet Hafeez is pretty disappointed to have missed on a ton

 

[hamzamunir]

Azhar Ali is turning it on

 

[insaftak]

Tea.

59/1 in this session

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

I bet Hafeez is pretty disappointed to have missed on a ton

indeed and 4/5 sri lankes most be feeling the same ..

 

[akheR]

Taufeeq Umar & Misbah-ul-Haq should be an interesting sight for all sensible souls.

 

[hamzamunir]

It takes Jayasuria like a minute to get out a sentence....i'm falling asleep listening to him.

 

[pakcricketfan]

From cricinfo ) )

"Hi Guys, just want to share over the last few hours i have had a wonderful time watching the paint dry on my wall, in fact ive enjoyed it so much that i will be painting another wall during the 20 min tea break just to give me something interesting to watch over the next few hours............count down is on to SA v AUS" Aaron Mann, I am sure Azhar's back-to-back fours rudely disturbed your idyllic afternoon

 

[the Great Khan]

bit slow from Pak but once the lead is gone they will grind down sri lanka..imagine fielding for two days straight in heat and chasing leather..then theyll have to come out and save teh day against a rested pak bowling attack..!!

 

[anakwalajinn]

salaam awaam.

who is watching it on ptv?
epic commercials not the dull ones that are on geo.

coming back to the game, very slow batting. but I guess as long as we don't collapse...

 

[insaftak]

Mithai for those that didn't get any when Azhar ali hit some Chowkays!

 

[Asif321]

too slowwww

 

[qamar84]

It takes Jayasuria like a minute to get out a sentence....i'm falling asleep listening to him.

one side you got and the other you got jayasuria

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Which mug actually paid to goto watch this at the ground?.....

 

[hamzamunir]

one side you got and the other you got jayasuria

lol its driving me crazy.

 

[Hash]

We really need to learn how to take some singles.

It's all very well defending every ball on the stumps and leaving every ball that isn't....it keeps your wicket in tact but the whole point of batting is to score runs.

Therefore singles are of vital importance. We must learn this.

 

[qamar84]

Which mug actually paid to goto watch this at the ground?.....

soorry but yesterday srilanka play in worst slower runrate than pakistan

 

[akheR]

Which mug actually paid to goto watch this at the ground?.....

They paid to hear the dramatic collision between Taufeeq's atomic bat & the fast delivery without listening to Jayasurya's pertinent comments in good Angrezi.

 

[qamar84]

lol its driving me crazy.

why they can't give the commentary to RAMBO until these 2 are on the field please ban jayasuria until these 2 get out

That will come with experience but what i have been really happy with is that one wicket has not led to another and another as usually is the case with Pakistan. the batsman are putting a value on thier wicket and grinding the bowlers down....

 

[anakwalajinn]

is it just me or is the commentary really lagging???

 

[farsiddiqui]

Which mug actually paid to goto watch this at the ground?.....

Well, I heard they were doing some renovations at the ground, so there maybe some paint drying to watch (just to get that wake-up jolt) and focus on cricket again.

Ideally something close to 80-90 from those overs.

But if they keep repeating the same from the last session, around 50 runs I guess.

 

[Watsupdoc]

They are trying to bounce the batsmen out... hmm...

 

[qamar84]

anakwalajinn: lead by 1 run

pakcricketfan: lead by 17 runs

duostyle: 50 runs (lead by 22 runs)
