[Inswinger]

Luck 4 off the outside edge.

 

[Islamabadi]

[Islamabadi]

100 up for pakistan....500 to go

 

[HuZi]

I thouhgt gone but nice that he plays with soft hands

 

[wez4all]

100 up

 

[Genghis]

Maybe there mind readers

Well in that case ... read this ... your mission is to make Mendis stats look more like Kanerias.

 

[Islamabadi]

Well in that case ... read this ... your mission is to make Mendis stats look more like Kanerias.

lol

 

[IronMan2009]

It is beyond comprehension how anyone wants to have a bowler like fernando in the squad.

 

[Islamabadi]

people are not even showing up for a chance to win rs 200000

 

[Da Best]

Well in that case ... read this ... your mission is to make Mendis stats look more like Kanerias.

Same with Murli

 

[wez4all]

sri lanka so lucky to have two world class spinners

 

[Islamabadi]

sri lanka so luckt to have two world class spinners

pakistan really need 1

 

[Islamabadi]

did he just drop that

 

[Genghis]

Same with Murli

Thats a bit harder since he's played 126 matches, but yeah why not!

 

[Inswinger]

did he just drop that

I dint think there was any bat on it.

 

[Pace]

Shoaib edging like he was playing in England on a cloudy day. We have got to develop better pitches domestically or we will be completly uncompetitive in the future.

 

[wez4all]

sri lankan commentators really sucks

 

[Genghis]

Another maiden to Murali. Well thats 20 overs into the day and the loss of 1 wicket for 60 odd runs.

 

[Islamabadi]

29 mins before lunch

 

[Da Best]

Dilhara continues.

 

[Inswinger]

Half hour till lunch. Just keep it steady!!!

 

[Islamabadi]

Shoaib edging like he was playing in England on a cloudy day. We have got to develop better pitches domestically or we will be completly uncompetitive in the future.

future...how about now

 

[Genghis]

First single since .... can't remember!

 

[Islamabadi]

murli has scary eyes

 

[wez4all]

jayawardne's field placing is excellent

 

[Islamabadi]

is this dilhara guy by any chance pakistani...he keeps throwing noballs like one

 

[Genghis]

Another no-ball to Fernando.

 

[Inswinger]

First single since .... can't remember!

There was only one maiden over...........

 

[Genghis]

There was only one maiden over...........

Yeah but a lot of overs have had boundaries.

 

[Genghis]

jayawardne's field placing is excellent

Hopefully Younis is taking note!

 

[Islamabadi]

2 more for younis

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I hope these both can slowly pickup the run rate too. The pitch is so flat, yet we are not even at a RR of 3.00. They need to keep a positive approach and keep ticking runs.

 

[Islamabadi]

First single since .... can't remember!

another single...happy yet

 

[Genghis]

Malik to face spinner for first time in this match!

 

[Genghis]

another single...happy yet

Slightly.

 

[Islamabadi]

Slightly.

another 1..how about now

 

[wez4all]

younis looks solid in defense

 

[HuZi]

this have to be THE BIG partnership or the one with MISBAH because I don't trust the other batsman '' faisal iqbal and co ''

 

[Genghis]

8 overs till lunch!

 

[Da Best]

Faster one from Murli

 

[Genghis]

another 1..how about now

Getting better!

 

[Islamabadi]

mendis back again

 

[HuZi]

mendis back

 

[wez4all]

mendis is back

 

[Da Best]

Getting better!

 

[Genghis]

Spinners from both ends for the first time today, these two will prob take us through till lunch.

 

[Islamabadi]

talha really need to relax....he looks nervous

 

[Da Best]

Mendis the menace is back.

 

[Islamabadi]

almost gone...lucky malik

 

[Da Best]

talha really need to relax....he looks nervous

Looks like the pre match nerves have already settled in for him.

 

[Genghis]

Yet another maiden to Mendis ... 4 of his 11 overs have been maidens.

 

[HuZi]

talha really need to relax....he looks nervous

[wez4all]

Correction 5.

 

[Islamabadi]

4 for younis

 

[Genghis]

Smart batting from Younis , FOUR and then my favourite ... a SINGLE!

 

[Da Best]

Murli getting more and more expensive now.

 

[Da Best]

Younis on 41

 

[Islamabadi]

15 mins before lunch

 

[Genghis]

Murli getting more and more expensive now.

He's still going at only just over 2 an over. He's just not troubling the batsmen as much as Mendis is.

 

[Islamabadi]

mendis

 

[Da Best]

A Single.....

 

[Islamabadi]

mendis scares me

 

[Islamabadi]

[wez4all]

Murli getting more and more expensive now.

[Islamabadi]

44444 by younis...now thats what i'm talking about

 

[HuZi]

younis needs to stop with this stupid shot

you're right if he keeps doing this.................

 

[Genghis]

Younis getting inventive ... reverse sweep to Murali ... but that was a bit lucky!

 

[HuZi]

[Momo]

[Umta]

Another menacing Murali over safely negotiated
