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

[Oxy]

50 up for Pakistan

 

[Sparhawk]

I love seeing the bowlers' expression after each boundary, especially Tushara's.

RR back over 6

 

[ItsMeK1]

4 by khurram off tushara

 

[Oxy]

T20 cricket!

[Sparhawk]

Stumping referral.. off a defensive shot!!

Its close but i think hes safe

 

[ItsMeK1]

khurram gone i guess

 

[Oxy]

I think Manzoor might be OUT stumped!

 

[Genghis]

I think he's just in!

 

[ItsMeK1]

khurram gone i guess

i was wrong and i am happy to be proved wrong

 

[Oxy]

MAnzoor survives!

I think he got lucky - benefit JUST went his way...only just!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good glove work by the keeper, kami you mong take note!

 

[Genghis]

Benefit of doubt!!! SAFE!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just in Phew!

Lets hope he can re-focus and go on here!

 

[Sparhawk]

Runs starting to dry up.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Runs starting to dry up.

No, they are not attacking Mendis. If you notice, they have been attacking the pacers...

 

[ItsMeK1]

nice shot by butt
444444444 off tushara

 

[Sparhawk]

No, they are not attacking Mendis. If you notice, they have been attacking the pacers...

correct salman just played a trademark cover drive against tushara.

Manzoor might start attacking Mendis soon too like he did in the first ODI.

 

[Genghis]

Nicely done by Butt saab again! FOUR!!!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Solid start, if they keep going like this, their lead will be in 400's by the end of the day's play

 

[Momo]

Solid start, if they keep going like this, their lead will be in 400's by the end of the day's play

Pakistan's lead?

 

[slix10]

Think he meant SL's, it's at 544 right now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

120/0 or so would be nice at close of play.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Pakistan's lead?

I wish. Aap ka kia haal hai aaj kal Momo bhai?

 

[bluffmasterv2]

"There" not "Their" ^_^

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

"There" not "Their" ^_^

No buddy, it's "their lead" not "there lead".

 

[Momo]

I wish. Aap ka kia haal hai aaj kal Momo bhai?

Alhamdulillah. Aap kaese hain c.l bhai.
(Aap ka naam bohat mushkil hai.)

 

[MIG]

something to smile about?

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Alhamdulillah. Aap kaese hain c.l bhai.
(Aap ka naam bohat mushkil hai.)

Doing well, Alhamdulillah I know ke s/n thoda mushkil hai, but I don't mind ke aap shortcut use kar lete ho

44444444444 by buttt off tushara

 

[Cheguvera]

600 by lunch on 4th day....dismiss SL in three sessions...with a target of 200-250 score the runs in the two remaining sessions of fifth day...tall task, but not impossible...

 

[Amjid Javed]

No sign of Murali yet!

9 Overs to go in days play!

70/0

 

[ItsMeK1]

four by butt off murali
what a welcome

 

[Genghis]

Thanks Murali ... another boundary to Butt!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Murali on and goes for 4 1st ball!

 

[Momo]

No sign of Murali yet!

Mahela doesn't want Murali to lose confidence by exposing him to the relentless Butt.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

No sign of Murali yet!

9 Overs to go in days play!

70/0

Your wish is granted!

 

[asifp]

Mahela doesn't want Murali to lose confidence by exposing him to the relentless Butt.

I hope that was sarcastic

 

[ItsMeK1]

now it khurramz turn
44444444444 off murali
no respect for murali (waqarz comment)

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Murali getting smashed all over the place...13 runs off his first over!

 

[ItsMeK1]

WHAT A SHOTTTTTT
another 4444444444444 by khurram off murali
goood over for PAKISTAN 13 runs in muraliz first over

 

[natalia]

Manzoor's test batting average is now 75.00

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Mahela doesn't want Murali to lose confidence by exposing him to the relentless Butt.

Yup he should bring in more experienced players like Dilhara Fernando into the attack instead of Murali.

 

[taqi]

who said its a supporting pitch

 

[Genghis]

Well made 50 by Manzoor

 

[Oxy]

"There" not "Their" ^_^

Its 'THEIR' lead - not 'THERE' lead actually...

As in 'their' = belonging to

 

[taqi]

50 by a Pakistani opener after a long time

 

[ItsMeK1]

44444444 bu khurram of mendis
what a way to bring his maiden fifty
wellplayed
keep it goin

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well played Khurram on maiden test 50!

Now go and score a big 100

 

[Genghis]

who said its a supporting pitch

Yeah all those guys who were saying Pakistan would struggle to make 200 have all of a sudden disapeared! This is another typical poor pitch, nothing for the bowlers!

 

[ItsMeK1]

over the top shot by butt for 444444 of murali
boundaries are raining

 

[the Great Khan]

Travest of an innings from Manzoor..no skill whatsoever!!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

great aggressive innings from Manzoor. forget the pitch - the way he has played has been top.

This has shifted the momentum of the game, 100 odd runs in this session has taken small but significant chunk out of SL's total.

 

[Umta]

Where are all the Khurram bashers.He played a fast inning today. All our youngsters need is confidence and they will only get better with time. Be it Khurram, Talha or Sohail Khan

 

[Momo]

Murali getting smashed all over the place...13 runs off his first over!

See?

 

[Umta]

See?

Thats a right way to play Murali

 

[Momo]

Good job Manzoor. Go get a tripple now.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

nice to see Malik has lost that constipated expression.

 

[ItsMeK1]

nice delicate cut by khurram for 44444 of mendis
100 up for PAKISTAN

 

[Umta]

Nice delicate cut for 4 by Khurram

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

These guys need to cash in and boost their averages here by getting big hundreds.

 

[Umta]

nice to see Malik has lost that constipated expression.

) ) ) )

 

[Momo]

Thats a right way to play Murali

That's the right way to play any bowler. Send a clear message across to him that you intend to finish his career here and now.

 

[On_the_up]

Manzoor's attacking attitude and execution has been impressive today.

 

[ItsMeK1]

which drink is malik drinking by the way

 

[Umta]

Hang on there Butt. Dont get out before close

 

[the Great Khan]

More travesty!!...!..yay kya bakwaas hay..Khurrum should be making way for Jamshed!!..TRAVESTY!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 101/0

A brilliant start here!

 

[cricwiz]

Travest of an innings from Manzoor..no skill whatsoever!!

I have seen this guy batting for the first time... he is not technically excellent but seems to have a good hand-eye co-ordination... Being an opener hand-eye coordination is foremost.


so he is not that bad as the PPers have been suggesting all over the place

 

[Umta]

That's why I don't take what PPers say (including myself) too seriously.

 

[ItsMeK1]
