Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 1st Test - Day 5 | Karachi | 25/2/09

[checkers.llvllaster]

I'm not watching but from the comments it seems Gul is bowling well, so we need Gul from one end, and Arafat from the other end. Specially, now that the ball is doing something, Arafat might be able to get something more from it...

 

[pakistani pride]

rameez saying sohail bowls a lot of yourkers in domestic, here i have not seen a single yorker !

 

[hussein]

You watching it on this (not sure how long it will be up for?)

[Couch Cricketer]

sohail is bowling outside the offstump on this wicket he has to bowl in the wickets
Younis khan should give him a 5-4 field

 

[Da Best]

rameez saying sohail bowls a lot of yourkers in domestic, here i have not seen a single yorker !

Same Here Can't wait to see one!!!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Any pressure created by Gul is quickly being released by Sohail Khan - the guy is struggling, maybe its a confidence thing.

We need to give the ball to Yasir Arafat soon

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

SL 40-2

They trail by 81 runs

 

[iafzal]

Its called EFFORT - at least lets praise that on this track?

i did not know no ball is now equal to effort.

Pakistani bowlers put the most effort then

 

[Oxy]

40-2

Younis firing up the team.

Great to see!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Looks like the feilder injured his finger!!

 

[HuZi]

yasir arfat did a rgeat job first gud bwoling from him ( our best bowler in the first inning ) then a 50* from him where he hit 2 sixes and then he hits the stumps to get paranavitana run out

 

[taqi]

good fielding that 300 have changed every thing

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good stop by the fielder - might have injured himself

Is that Faisal Iqbal? please say it is

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Younis in total command

"I miss u Afridi" )

[Geordie Ahmed]

SL 45-3

C'MON

 

[iafzal]

Yes Yes Yes

 

[natalia]

IQBAL TAKES A LOVELY CATCH!

Dilshan gone for 8.
Get Sangakkara, Jayawardene/or Samaraweera, then the game is over for SL and Pakistan can seriously win it from there - P. Jayawardene and the rest are not able to cope on the pressure batting with one of them

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Ok time for Arafat, and keep the pressure on.

 

[HuZi]

give the ball to yasir arfat NOW

 

[Da Best]

SL 45-3

C'MON

NICE!!!!!!!

You mean Salman Butt

 

[natalia]

no, Faisal Iqbal is what Ramiz is saying

 

[Sparhawk]

Jayawardene must be tingling with nerves, just give him a few deliveries in the corridor and he's sure to edge it.

 

[Sparhawk]

You mean Salman Butt

It was faisal

Salman Butt actually

Anyhow Mahela Jayawardene walks in - lets hope he is ****ing it

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Gul showing his experience, was pretty crap in the first innings - as the lead bowler, but coming back now.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

It was faisal

Ah, I'm just following commentary on cricinfo...I apologize

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I do think Sohail Khan needs to be given a chance BUT right now i would bring Yasir Arafat on - its just not happening for Sohail Khan, he is not gonna get a wicket

 

[pakistani pride]

Come on shoail khan !

 

[Sparhawk]

Good line from Sohail but he needs to put some more horse power into it, last delivery just 132 kph

 

[Oxy]

Is Faisal Iqbal sporting a little earing (left ear)

If so, this new image will certainly win him more fans..

 

[HuZi]

good over from sohail khan

 

[natalia]

Looks like Pakistan are going to give Sri Lanka their own taste of being 75 all out

 

[Sparhawk]

Ah, I'm just following commentary on cricinfo...I apologize

This is why they are called misinfo

 

[asifp]

how is Sohail Khan bowling? Leaking runs again from the scorecards

 

[pakistani pride]

It seems like sohail khan doesnt want to be in there no effort at all, needs try harder!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

This is why they are called misinfo

 

[HuZi]

give sanga some yorkersssss

 

[natalia]

I feel the same as Dominic - this is gonna go right down to the wire.

 

[Da Best]

Looks like Pakistan are going to give Sri Lanka their own taste of being 75 all out

INSH ALLAH.

 

[Genghis]

Still a mighty big ask ... this wicket has nothing in it, but Gul is trying everything. 35 overs to go!

 

[HuZi]

[Geordie Ahmed]

SL 46-3

Approx 34 overs remain

 

[HuZi]

good fielding YASIR!!!!!!!!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Arafat doing an excellent job in the field - give him the ball man

 

[Genghis]

Here's an interesting question ... if Gul gets 7-8 wickets here, who gets man of the match?

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

If we can get 3 wickets of Jaya, Sanga, and Samara, specially anytime soon, then we have a good chance

 

[Oxy]

I got up early to see YK - but this is most definately worth staying up for - whatever happens from now!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

haha - Mahela does not look pleased

We need to get him on strike

 

[Oxy]

Here's an interesting question ... if Gul gets 7-8 wickets here, who gets man of the match?

If Pak win? Gul. If not, YK

 

[HuZi]

shot 4444444444 gul all yorkers we need then bowl a little wide ball so jaya gives it a edge

 

[HuZi]

another

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Here's an interesting question ... if Gul gets 7-8 wickets here, who gets man of the match?

Very interesting question. That means, one would have saved us the game, and the other would have made us win. If not both, we wouldn't be at the result...let's wait and watch

 

[Momo]

Tea

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Consecutive boundaries from Sangakarra off Gul

SL 54-3

TEA

 

[HuZi]

[Momo]

(I am having tea myself.)

 

[Oxy]

Tea

Sri Lanka: 54-3

Still 67 runs behind

 

[hussein]

how long is tea?

 

[pakistani pride]

Good 2 see younis supporting sohail khan but he just doesnt look like taking wickets, with his action and run up

 

[Momo]

20 min.

 

[Oxy]

how long is tea?

My cup is about 3 inches wide & 4 inches high.

 

[Genghis]

If Pak win? Gul. If not, YK

I would prob agree! He's bowling his heart out now, but still a long way to go, if we break this partnership soon we will be making a big step towards doing it!

 

[Imran_m]

If only Gul didnt over step than we would really be in with a shout. Inshallah they can really give it a good fight.

Tell your professor that a cricket match held you longer than you had reckoned for.

He will understand.
