Tum Donu Ko Kya Lagraha Tha Aaaj Ka Test Kheloghe

 

[Looney]

dekha di hindu zehniyat sharapova ne

 

[hur rizvi]

Mathews is not at all comfortable here... he is looking ugly with the bat

 

[*sallu*]

Probing over from Juni

 

[CrikChamp]

No we are missing a fast bowler...

Aizaz would have been fine

Management thinks this pitch will offer more to the spinners hence going with two spiners, but if you want to go with two spiners you need to have a fast bowling allrounder but since they don't have one they should have gone with Cheema

 

[Law]

Dekhna!!! :adnan

 

[musama]

give Azhar a few overs ......

 

[hur rizvi]

Better bring on Rehman instead of Ajmal....

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

younis khan wud be very useful in these conditions

 

[hur rizvi]

One wicket before Lunch would make this a perfect session...

 

[Looney]

chuss captaincy yaar i am disappointed

 

[hur rizvi]

Good bowling by Junaid....


Difficult to get LBW from this Angle

 

[Looney]

abay yaar out tha

 

[hur rizvi]

Lovely bowling by Junaid...

 

[hur rizvi]

abay yaar out tha

Na bhai...

High bhi tha aur leg-stump miss kar raha tha...

 

[siccric]

Perfect session this is

Getting 4 wkts on a batting surface for just 67 runs is awesome

If only we hadn't dropped Sanga

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal should rather go over the WKt to sanga

 

[SwingNSeam]

why are they replaying the dropped catch

 

[SwingNSeam]

choka

 

[Looney]

need 1 wicket before lunch

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal should not play next test match ....

 

[insaftak]

crap ball put away for

 

[adnan yasin]

Younis khan and azhar ali can bowl few overs .. to give fast bowlers some rest .. pitch is still fresh .. its doing something ...

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal releasing all the pressure..

 

[adnan yasin]

no threatening at all in this spell ... Saeed ajmal

younis khan should bowl a over .. before lunch

 

[SwingNSeam]

bowling

 

[adnan yasin]

Look at the movement ... by junaid khan .. after 24 overs .. its still doing something

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[SwingNSeam]

 

[Amjid Javed]

That drop pretty much is massive! if sanga gets another 100 we could see it as match pivitol later on!

If we had Sri lanka 5 down before lunch it would have been great!

Still pakistans session, but we need to bowl sri lanka out cheaply again like the 1st test!

 

[hur rizvi]

MAthews deserved what he got

Juaid strikes

 

[akamaka]

 

[insaftak]

Mathews

Take that amir

 

[osee_bhai]

what a beauty.

Bravo young man

 

[adnan yasin]

wowhoooooooooo



Standing out of the crease for such a long time ....let his down fall.. Matthews gone

 

[SwingNSeam]

Bring back!!!

 

[*sallu*]

Boy Junaid sure deserved that wicket of Matthews, brilliant

 

[siccric]

I guess you got your wish... but Sangakaras wicket is still intact, and he looks as solid as ever

 

[Law]

You youngsta beauty!!!!! :

You got your Wish...

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

brilliant spell by junaid khan. an absolute treat to watch.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Nervous debutant...welcome him with a bouncer!

 

[osee_bhai]

Debutant on, let's keep it rolling.

A yorker first up would be wonderful

 

[Friend786]

ashraful comes to bat ..... oh i mean kaushal silva

 

[SwingNSeam]

that came in!

 

[adnan yasin]

oooooooooooooooh my goodness

that was JAFFAR !!!

by junaid khan

look at the movement

 

[SwingNSeam]

bowling like anwar ali

 

[hur rizvi]

Lovely ball...

nearly bowled him

 

[akheR]

LOL what was that

 

[insaftak]

lucky lankan keeper byes

 

[adnan yasin]

Srilanka

77-5

 

[Friend786]

what a ball !!

 

[SwingNSeam]

Impressive mA

 

[NJamal]

Pathan force in full flow in Dubai.

 

[Ryankhan]

jitna bhi koshish karu misbah ko kuch nahi kehne ko, wo pirse koi ulti harkat kar leta hai.
everything went great for us but what on earth was he thinking by playing 2 spinners on dead pitches? Cheema or Riaz would have been a good choice. AJmal is not getting any turn. Rehman should have played over ajmal or vice versa but 2 fast bowlers on dead pitches is gonna hurt pAK bowlers.

 

[Amjid Javed]

good blow for pakistan just before lunch!

need to get sanga out though!

 

[SwingNSeam]

single

 

[NJamal]

Brilliant bowling by both Gul & Junaid.

 

[SwingNSeam]

+ would have been nuts..oh well Alhumdulillah none-the-less

 

[hur rizvi]

KAushal Silva has a F.C average of 46

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should not relax.

 

[NJamal]

78/5.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should try and wipe this out soon.

 

[adnan yasin]

Lunch Day 1

78-5

Sangakara 29 not out

umar gul 3 wickets
Junaid khan 2 wickets

 

[NJamal]

Misbah should attack Sanga more and not relax the field for him.

 

[adnan yasin]

Pakistan should not relax.

Let them relax now ... its lunch time

when will you start making sense?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara would be the key here.

 

[osee_bhai]

Great session. Good toss to lose it seems.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have bowled well here again.... they need to make sure Srilanka do not have partnerships after lunch.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Excellent session for pakistan, however we cant let JP or sanga settle in 2nd session!

We need to bowl Sri lanka out for less then 150-200 here!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Lol Gul proving AZ wrong again. Not that it's hard to prove AZ wrong...

 

[SwingNSeam]

Excellent session for pakistan, however we cant let JP or sanga settle in 2nd session!

Key. The pitch has some assistance to offer. We should make full use of this.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah needs to be ruthless in 2nd session! no giving away easy singles! attack both batsmen from both ends!

in such conditions we cant afford mistakes like those in the 1st test match!

 

[Ryankhan]

when will you start making sense?

Dude, im all talking sense, only if you have some so you would understand it

 

[ddss]

Great session, but keep this up. Pakistan always go lazy after the end to a session.

 

[akheR]

jp ?

 

[ddss]

True that. Lets see if he learned from the previous match.

 

[IAJ]

What two overs! Remember that SL is a very good batting side.

What temperament and talent shown by Gul and Junaid MashaAllah. And I am writing this without watching a single ball. Just reading here and some commentary on cricinfo.

All we need after lunch is the killer instict. We can't let them off now. Just need to finish it off. Should be 150 or less all out InshaAllah.

He isn't playing, it's Silva instead.
