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

[Bublu Bhuyan]

4 wickets for Gul in this innings.

 

[sohaibsyed]

another drop

 

[iafzal]

All of sudden Gul is bowling like it is the last few overs of an ODI.

On target

and Misbah drops Dilshan.

Crap fielding has rally hurt us

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

135.6 Umar Gul to Dilshan, no run, dropped, Misbah drops a dolly! Good length outside off and moved away, Dilshan fished for it, got a thick edge straight to first slip but was nicely behind it but failed to hold on

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

It would have been Gul's 5th wicket of the innings.

 

[Oxy]

Misbah was a 100% dead cert to take any catch - he's taken some stunners.

But last few months, he's dropped some real sitters.

Complacency which doggs our team I'm afraid.

And this was another simple chance dropped at slip.

Our fielding is the only travesty in this series!

 

[iafzal]

Ball is about 55 overs old and Gul is already reversing it. Good time to give Talha or Araft a try

 

[TaZ]

Misbah just deprived Gul of a five-wicket haul there

135.6 Umar Gul to Dilshan, no run, dropped, Misbah drops a dolly! Good length outside off and moved away, Dilshan fished for it, got a thick edge straight to first slip who was nicely behind it but failed to hold on

 

[iafzal]

I can sense wickets tumbling soon by Gul.

You cannot depend on our fielders to do anything

 

[ataullah]

wth no talha for reverse swing? or even arafat? why the hell kaneria?

 

[McBoom]

Mother BLEEEEP with all the drop catches.

 

[sohaibsyed]

mayb if talha bowls he can get his maiden wicket for some confidence

 

[Sparhawk]

This wasnt even a batting paradise, but with all the dropped catches... pathetic stuff.

 

[McBoom]

Why is useless Kaneria still bowling?

Ball is reversing, bring Talha or Arafat on.

 

[pakistani pride]

Kaneria please retire mate.
Its so painfull, this guy has such poor figures every game.

Its obvious he is not a test match bowler !

 

[Da Best]

Yorker!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Da Best]

C'mon!!!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Kaneria please retire mate.
Its so painfull, this guy has such poor figures every game.

Its obvious he is not a test match bowler !

No, but he is certainly a "senior player".

 

[sohaibsyed]

you cant blame kaneria always....he has alot of dropped catches too

 

[sohaibsyed]

although ill admit he doesnt have consistency at all....he loses the proper length many times

 

[iafzal]

YK should have Talha or Arafat operating right now. Ball is reversing and so we should make use of it.

 

[shabs100]

yk is an overrated captain...

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

omg i cannot believe it.....amazing stuf by s/l second double century for this guy

must be a record. Is it the pitch? or is pak bowlin so bad?

 

[Da Best]

Hit the helmet!!

 

[cricwiz]

YK, Give Kaneria a big rest....

Also dont try to overbowl Gul...

Talha & Arafat have been clearly under-bowled... They must be brought on now!!!

 

[shabs100]

YK, Give Kaneria a big rest....

Also dont try to overbowl Gul...

Talha & Arafat have been clearly under-bowled... They must be brought on now!!!

Exactly!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Gul is bowling a testing and aggressive spell!

 

[shabs100]

yk is trying to injure gul here.

 

[Da Best]

Toe crusher!

 

[iafzal]

Gul needs a rest next over should be his last. I think he is bowled maybe 8-9 overs in a trot.

 

[shabs100]

kaneria trying to drop is average.

 

[McBoom]

Gul is bowling some very good yorkers, if only he had more pace one of them would have sneaked through by now.

 

[iafzal]

Danish trying an appeal of run out, like Inzi got out. too funny

 

[Sparhawk]

Kaneria is embarrassing himself now.. even more than before.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Did anyone see the Kaneria throwing the ball? Frustrated? ) )

 

[Da Best]

Get Kaniera out of the attack!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Did anyone see the Kaneria throwing the ball? Frustrated? ) )

) ) )

 

[McBoom]

Disgraceful behaviour by Kaneria. Should be dropped for appealing like this.

 

[shabs100]

gul getting tired..

 

[Oxy]

Sri Lanka touching 4 rpo - they score their runs at a fast pace.

 

[asifp]

anymore dropped catches today?

 

[Da Best]

bring on talha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Da Best]

anymore dropped catches today?

misbah

 

[Anwar]

Dilshan scoring a 100 @ a SR or 85! that sows how bad our bowling is and how easy he is finding it

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Gul bowls him...excellent spell!!

 

[iafzal]

Gul is the man 5fer in style bowled him

 

[Oxy]

Umar Gul gets his 5fer!

 

[cricwiz]

YK is guilty of not helping out youngsters there.... Arafat and Talha would not be getting any confidence by not bowling

Bad captaincy here

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Congrats to Gul - just a shame he has no support

Oh Asif you moron

 

[iafzal]

Kineria over bowled and Arafat and Talha under bowled

 

[Oxy]

Tea

SL 566-7

 

[bluffmasterv2]

I hope Gul doesnt get injured.

Good work though.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

even gul is a better spinner tha kaneria

 

[pakistanbest]

he deserved that 5fer, its been Gul v sri lanka

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

The way Gul is bowling, he can take the remaining 3 tailenders wickets in 3-4 overs...

 

[natalia]

I'm hoping Gul gets an 8-for here. Very possible since the other bowlers won't get wickets neither do they deserve it.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I see Kaneria is not too far from a double hundred

 

[bluffmasterv2]

tailenders i see, time for Kaneria!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I see Kaneria is not too far from a double hundred

I have no doubts in his ability to score a double hundred

 

[the Great Khan]

Kineria over bowled and Arafat and Talha under bowled

well im sorry but a captain has to be able to expect his spinner to bowl overs and take wickets..kaneria just bowls overs and gives buffet runs..cant really blame YK..even afridi couldnt have done any worse...hell tanvir would have been better too!!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Is Talha injured? He has only bowled 15 overs whilst Gul has bowled 34

 

[Da Best]

Talha should be brought back.

 

[cricwiz]

I think Yk wants to save Kaneria's career, so that he can get couple of tail-ender wickets and have a bit of respectable figures

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to knock over S.L Tail here pretty quickly!

 

[Muhammad]

Pakistan need to knock over S.L Tail here pretty quickly!

Don't worry Dani's still on to take care of 9, 10 and jack and get some well deserved wickets.

 

[Da Best]

Gul to continue.

 

[asifp]

misbah

so what is done 3 dropped catches for the innings?

 

[cricwiz]

Don't worry Dani's still on to take care of 9, 10 and jack and get some well deserved wickets.

Well deserved ) ) ) )

 

[Da Best]

so what is done 3 dropped catches for the innings?

i dont know i've lost count actually.

 

[McBoom]

so what is done 3 dropped catches for the innings?

Nothing much, just a matter of 250 runs or so.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Gul should try and injure Murali. That would help our batsmen

 

[natalia]

DILSHAN GONE!
Run out

finally the fielders get something right

 

[Da Best]

Gone!!!

 

[natalia]

MENDIS BOWLED!
6 for Gul, he can get one more!

 

[Da Best]

Bowled!!!!!!!!

 

[Muhammad]

DILSHAN GONE!
Run out

finally the fielders get something right

Damn, Dani can only get a max of 2 wickets now!

Anyway let's hope he picks them up quick!

 

[Muhammad]

Please Gul don't be selfish, Dani has bowled more overs than you, let him get one at least to show for his efforts.

 

[Da Best]

Damn, Dani can only get a max of 2 wickets now!

Anyway let's hope he picks them up quick!

only one now

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Kaneria even giving runs to the last 2 tail enders...

 

[Da Best]

Finally danny ends his expensive over.
