Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 2nd Test - Day 1| Lahore | 1/3/09

[Amjid Javed]

Make that 3 NO balls now!

Whats he doing!

 

[Matic]

Hat-trick no balls

 

[jaspa888]

YK should put his arm around the young lad. Obviously very nervous.

 

[Da Best]

another noball... i guess he is pakistani

Man you never knew he did no balls... he's been doin that thing for a long time!!! Needs to stop it.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

3 in a row now. unbelievable!

 

[lollol]

Talha has a hat-trick!

 

[Islamabadi]

finally gets it done

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sl 164/3

 

[Boi]

End of the Long Over SRI 164-3

 

[Boi]

We need a Few Wickets here!

 

[The Chaudrey]

Despite those no-balls, he has been bowling much better in this spell. I think there are probably some jittery nerves here for him

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik trying to temp Sangakarra here..

 

[saqlain]

Talha has a decent speed but he is not a 145+ bowler. I think there are lots of bowlers in Pakistan who bowl around the same speed.

 

[natalia]

SL back to their winning ways after a slight stutter.

 

[Boi]

Akmal has been pretty Impressive behind the Stumps today!

 

[Amjid Javed]

good over just the 1 run off malik.

Runs dried up a little here.

 

[Boi]

165-3

 

[Amjid Javed]

Spin at both ends. Kaneria back on.

 

[IAJ]

Mohammad Talha is playing in his first test match and struggling with no-balls, but the sad thing is that none of the senior players (younis,misbah,malik and even salman butt) went to him and tried to calm him down. The bowlers are totally lonesome out there. When Shoaib Akhtar was bowling shoaib malik went alongside him back to his run up but y not now? even though he is not the captain anymore. its really sad.

 

[HuZi]

noooo why talha out of the attack

 

[saqlain]

I dont think Talha is any different then Sohail Khan. He is just bowling garbage similar to Sohail who did in Karachi.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sanga and Samarweera both love batting against pakistan.

 

[The Chaudrey]

I remember a few years back when the young Mohammed Sami bowled an unbelievable over containing about 5 or 6 no balls, wides etc. I believe that Sami never really recovered or bowled with any consistency after this. Up until then he showed glimpses of a remarkable talent - pace, swing and hostility. Since then he has only been consistent with his inconsistency ! ! !

 

[Amjid Javed]

Short cover gets a smack on the leg lol!

 

[Sparhawk]

Gul's hard work being ruined here.

Sanga hits bhanja on the foot.. but hes fine. Srilankan team must have been worried for a moment.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Maiden for kaneria his 1st.

 

[Amjid Javed]

whys malik bowling round wicket to samra?

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

trash from danish, not testing the batsmen at all

 

[The Chaudrey]

I dont think Talha is any different then Sohail Khan. He is just bowling garbage similar to Sohail who did in Karachi.

I never watched Sohail bowl in the last game, but i thought that, apart from those no-balls in the last over, Talha showed some really good potential in that last over.

 

[Amjid Javed]

5 runs in last 5 overs...

 

[Sparhawk]

He just didn't have it in him. If one over can unravel your whole career you don't belong in the big leagues.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Younis is probably worried about the over rate hence double spin.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Iqbals dropped one!

A chance missed!

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

dropped

 

[HuZi]

droppped bhanje

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

faisal drops it

 

[Amjid Javed]

typical next ball goes for runs!

 

[161]

omg ...

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

bloody faisal

 

[Boi]

Stupid Bhanja Drops it!!!

Adding Salt into the Wounds!!

 

[iafzal]

I wish bhanja had dropped this in Karachi

 

[Amjid Javed]

Iqbal should be shot for that drop!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sl 169/3

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

why the fk is he wearing that hindu thing on his wrist?

 

[HuZi]

ok gul should come back in to the attack to get a wicket here

 

[Sparhawk]

Who was the drop off? Kaneria or Malik?

 

[HuZi]

why the fk is he wearing that hindu thing on his wrist?

WHO? WHOS WEARING IT BHANJA ?

 

[Sparhawk]

Horrible delivery by Kaneria easily hit for four by Sanga. This man should not be called a "specialist" in any way.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Another piece of bakwas from danish

 

[Sheikh]

Just saw an amazing catch from A.B fielding at leg slip against the spinner.

Comparatively, Bhanja's was a dolly. Big, big miss.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kaneria releases the pressure with a crap ball. Why not stick to the basics!

 

[shabs100]

why the fk is he wearing that hindu thing on his wrist?

thats what I was thinking...

 

[HuZi]

why not give the ball to anybody else in stead of danish

 

[161]

WHO? WHOS WEARING IT BHANJA ?

well .. i guess he figures it keeps kaneria in the team despite being crap .. so maybe it might work him ?

 

[HuZi]

thats what I was thinking...

WHOS WEARING IT???????????? danish '' the hindu '' kaneria or bhanja

 

[161]

Malik is bowling better than Kaneria ..

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

WHOS WEARING IT???????????? danish '' the hindu '' kaneria or bhanja

bhanja

 

[HuZi]

shotttttt

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

danish is a moron....shot by sanga

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kaneria is a lost cause!

 

[161]

fcuking garbage from kaneria !

 

[Amjid Javed]

two boundaries in over already kaneria is a joke!

 

[HuZi]

Danish stop this bad bowlibng and star bowling like a proper bowler..

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

another ball fro kraperia, another 4

 

[sehban]

Kick kaneria out ...cant stand him anymore

 

[Amjid Javed]

10 runs from the over so far... SL in charge here!

 

[HuZi]

11 from the over ....

 

[shabbu1]

Danish seriously needs to be dropped. He's been so poor for quite a while now. He may be a little better bowling in the 2nd innings, but we need a bowler who is threatning to take wickets from the get go...and I'm sorry but Danish is in no way threatning. Time for the new leggie Shah me feels!

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

This is like a T20

 

[HuZi]

Kick kaneria out ...cant stand him anymore

m2 bhanja should get a kick under his ass ..... for dropping that catch

 

[HuZi]

Current partnership 92 runs, 25.0 overs, RR: 3.68 (Samaraweera 40, Sangakkara 42)

 

[Sparhawk]

Malik is bowling better than Kaneria ..

Seriously! He also took a wicket in the last match. With him in the team we don't need Kaneria, neither of them is a genuine threat to the batsmen they are just used to give the fast bowlers a rest and pick up the occasional wicket.

 

[Boi]

At tea it is 189-3!

That Session was all Sri Lanka!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thats TEA.

100 RUNS of 28 overs and just 1 wicket! Poor session for pakistan. They need to bowl Sri Lanka out for less than 300 here!

 

[TaZ]

Faisal you donkey
47.4 Shoaib Malik to Sangakkara, no run, dropped, outside off, pushes it straight to silly point and Faisal drops it.

 

[161]

Hmmmnn .. I wonder how much Javed Miandad charged for an appearance fee today ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cracking shot by Samara for 4

197/3

Pakistan need a wicket badly here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

101 run partnership here!

 

[Boi]

Lovely Shot from Samaraweera!

 

[Xoib]

Its all over I reckon.
