Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 1st Test - Day 2 | Karachi | 22/2/09

[Deewana Mastana]

A great start to the Pak innings!

Wah Wah Wah!

 

[Genghis]

And NOT OUT!!! Good stuff

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Bach gaya Khurram Manzoor.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

wow that was close.

 

[Boi]

Not Out!

 

[Genghis]

What is Jayawardene complaining about? He didn't see the replay?

 

[Boi]

1 Over Gone Its 1-0

 

[lollol]

Just watch what this "flat pitch" will do to our batsmen..... just watch...

 

[161]

vaas is gonna get salman lbw

 

[ahmed16]

Pakistani batsman cant even bat without causing tension.

 

[ahmed16]

Just watch what this "flat pitch" will do to our batsmen..... just watch...

) ) ) ) Legend, but knowing pakistan it probably will.

 

[lollol]

What is Jayawardene complaining about? He didn't see the replay?

In real-time, he looked out. Even the commentators were almost sure of it, but on replay it indeed seemed not-out. I think jaya asked what the doubt was about: if his bat was grounded or if the bowler touched the ball or not?

 

[ahmed16]

Got a feeling, Manzoors gonna go to Fernando.

 

[Boi]

Another Single For Manzoor

 

[Genghis]

We're doing better than SL were after 1 over

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

our tail starts at 5

 

[Boi]

Solid Defence from Butt!

 

[ahmed16]

We're doing better than SL were after 1 over

True say

 

[Genghis]

Got a feeling, Manzoors gonna go to Fernando.

Got a feeling both openers will bat out the remaining overs today.

 

[ahmed16]

our tail starts at 5

How?

 

[Boi]

No Ball from Fernando!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 gone 4 without a wicket

 

[Boi]

Its 4-0 after 2 Overs

 

[Genghis]

Good running from Butt!

 

[Boi]

Hit through Covers by Butt for one!

 

[Genghis]

Pakistani debutant opener has done much better than the SL debutant opener already.

 

[Genghis]

Manzoor batting sensibly here, leaving the right balls!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

whats Shewag doing in the crowd?

 

[Boi]

Lucky, Lucky Butt!!

Did he Edge that? Huge appeal!

 

[Genghis]

Simon Taufel says no to a caught behind ... I thought that was out!

 

[lollol]

That looked like out...

 

[Boi]

Cut by Butt!! FOUR

 

[Genghis]

Good comeback from Butt ... slashes through for 4

 

[Boi]

That was a good comeback there from Butt!

 

[Boi]

Wayward Bouncer from Fernando!

 

[Genghis]

That looked like out...

Maybe Taufel is trying to even things out!

 

[Genghis]

Hahaha ... Fernando reminds Rameez of Mithun Chakarwarthy.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They are looking for survival more than anything else - Ramanayke

 

[Genghis]

No ball ... hit away nicely by Manzoor for a couple.

 

[Genghis]

They are looking for survival more than anything else - Ramanayke

Yeah I don't like that tactic ... it plays into the oppositions hands.

 

[Boi]

Nice shot from Khurram Three runs taken

Its 15-0 after 5

 

[Genghis]

Nicely clipped off the legs from Manzoor for 3.

 

[Boi]

He has hits the Stumps! Refered to Third Umpire!

This Might be close!

 

[Boi]

Hes made it safely!

Great Fielding though from Dilshan!

 

[Genghis]

Not out!

 

[Genghis]

Good running so far ... but a run out looks just around the corner.

 

[Boi]

Solid Defence From Butt!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

*** are they playing at - no need to take risky runs UNLESS you can make it with ease

 

[Saj]

A lot of hard work for the Pak batsman over the next couple of days.

Good start. First aim will be to see out todays play and build from there.

 

[Boi]

Good Bouncer From Fernando!

 

[Boi]

No Ball wasnt Picked up by ump there!!

Umpires having a bad day today!

 

[Boi]

Thats Hit Butt's Back!! Ducking but the Ball went straight and hit him on his Back!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak's running between the wickets woes continue...

*Their running between wickets is pathetic
*Dont know how to run when to run and how to judge a run
*He's in but still lack all of the above
*They all lack it

It was a great throw by Dilshan.....BUT

*They dont understand running between wickets
*as they dont know when to call out for a run

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

They dont know how to judge a run?

No offence, but that was perfectly judged.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Butt did even flinch.

Im impressed.

Bad judgers of a single, as Sikandar Bakht would put it?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They dont know how to judge a run?

No offence, but that was perfectly judged.

No offence, but well that was an exception as I should've said "MOSTLY" dont know how to judge a run!

 

[Saj]

Some concersn - Butts running between the wickets, Butt against the short ball and this comment "the pitch has gotten really slow now, outside the off stump again and gets to the keeper on the second bounce"

 

[Genghis]

Lucky there by Butt ... through the slips cordon.

 

[Genghis]

Good yorker ... kept out well by Manzoor

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

btw Dominic Cork is quite a good commentator.

Him and Waqar have a good session.

 

[Genghis]

Another 14 overs left today ... but these two have done well so far.

 

[Genghis]

btw Dominic Cork is quite a good commentator.

Him and Waqar have a good session.

Yeah I've enjoyed listening to these two.

 

[natalia]

i love how Dominic Cork gets almost every name pronounced wrong )

 

[Boi]

Good Insight to Vaas's Bowling by Corky!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

I think the speed gun must be calibrated wrong.

Both and Fernando, whenever I have seen them, are close to 140 atleast. Here, they have been 130ks.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

9 overs gone 25 for 0

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Clouds coming back......

 

[Genghis]

Mendis warming up ... Will be bowling in a couple of overs I think.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Salman Butt really needs to hit it big now in tests aswell - InshahAllah

*an average of 29 is nothing for an opener to have
*And his FC average is over 41
*His conversion rate to a 100 is quite bad
*just 2 100's in 19 tests

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Butt allowed the ball to come to him and played really well!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

no way was that yorker 120 ks

 

[Deewana Mastana]

End of the 10th over 32 for 0

 

[hussein]

wth, some pak fan says he misses imran farhat

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vassy right on the money.........And a single taken by Butt

Thats good running seems like they've read what I wrote!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

wth, some pak fan says he misses imran farhat

Thats taste for you!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

mendis and murali have been flapping their wing for the last couple of overs.

 

[Genghis]

33 after 11 overs ... another 11 overs to go in the day.

 

[Genghis]

mendis and murali have been flapping their wing for the last couple of overs.

And here comes Mendis!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vassy has only taken 9 wickets in 10 tests against England
