Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 3rd ODI | Lahore | 24/1/09 - SL Inns

[Boi]

Kandamby into bat!

 

[Amjid Javed]

With Rao Failing it looks like pakistan will have to get 25 overs from their spin trio atleast!

 

[amarmak]

Afridi running the ball to the wkeeper end - didnt trust Akmal

he doesnt... its sooo evident.

 

[MIG]

The World Cup song being played...

 

[Poison]

Hahahahaha. I like how he effected that dismissal.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

 

[Plasma]

FInally! Wicket! Sanga out!

 

[shabs100]

time to bring back rao to complete his quota

 

[NeVerMind]

run out...that's what we needed..a lucky breakthorugh...now Malik needs to bring one of the fast bowlers back on...go for another wicket...

 

[Easa]

Susan?

wow your really acting your age? Bowled better? Niether has taken a wicket oh let me guess u mean a slight diff in economy?

wow it shows how truely stupid you are. Afridi is a crap bowler against top teams.

)

Apparently, I'm "truely" stupid, yet I'm not the one struggling to spell basic words.

MIG bhai - control your Susan

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now thats what Afridi brings to your lackluster team AJ.

 

[On_the_up]

Sanga made an even 50

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sanga gone. Pakistan still need more wickets here though.

 

[Boi]

181-2 after the over!

 

[MIG]

Malik applying some good pressure here

181/2 - a few dot balls - 33 overs gone

Cmon lets take this by the neck...

 

[Plasma]

Thats the second time he has been run out, this time by afridi.

Good knock though. 50

 

[Inswinger]

What brotherly love between Afridi and Malik.

 

[IronMan2009]

I don't understand the thought process of Sangakkara there He hit straight to fielder and started running.

 

[Easa]

Afridi is such a deeply violent being, I swear, sometimes its too much )

Stomps in, bear-steps, and roughly removes the bails, all the while shouting something quite indiscreetly

 

[the true passionist]

Time for a Sri Lankan collapse!

 

[On_the_up]

A gimmie for pakistan that wkt, came from nowhere, now lets get ROA constricting again

 

[MIG]

Ramiz saying that Malik allowing game to drift - no seamers being brought back

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

those pitches were bad. They were not batting friendly. Comparing apples with oranges.

I agree but SL were struggling against them and the games were going to the very end, whereas with us we lost by a BIG margin...

 

[rhussain33]

Is it possible that afridi could have thrown the ball to the other stumps and run out dilshan as well, as he was outta his crease in the middle of the pitch.

Im sure i seen a clip somewhere with two run out wickets at the same time.

 

[its.raja]

Why so serious? Abhee game baqee hai bhai

Bhaai Jaan Mendis is a diffrence he wont let us make runs

 

[Poison]

Afridi is such a deeply violent being, I swear, sometimes its too much )

Stomps in, bear-steps, and roughly removes the bails, all the while shouting something quite indiscreetly

He looked like a very angry bear. A killer bear.

 

[MIG]

185/2 in 34 overs

 

[On_the_up]

185-2 (34)

 

[the true passionist]

I agree but SL were struggling against them and the games were going to the very end, whereas with us we lost by a BIG margin...

so did SL in the first game.

 

[iafzal]

yes maybe in your backyard but not in International cricket

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

so did SL in the first game.

That's the point, we are very inconsistent, which we shouldn't be...

 

[taqi]

new man in bring a faster bowler now goof malik

 

[the true passionist]

Younis has not been picking up the ball cleanly today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

The spin attack as a whole has been impotent all series and is usually impotent when it comes to playing top sides. Its all fine bowling with good economy these guys are meant to take wickets!

 

[Inswinger]

I can't believe the Head & SHoulders people are walking around the stadium washing people's hair/

 

[MIG]

Danube building supplies

 

[HuZi]

34.6 Shoaib Malik to Kandamby, 1 run, the doosra, spots it, tucks it away on the leg side for an easy single

does he got a doosra 2 ?

 

[MIG]

192/2 in 35.3

 

[the true passionist]

The spin attack as a whole has been impotent all series and is usually impotent when it comes to playing top sides. Its all fine bowling with good economy these guys are meant to take wickets!

True, Pakistan has never been successful playing 3 spinners. Its not that we have world class spinners.

 

[Pak_NM]

This has been a great knock by Dilshan but that drop seems costly...

 

[MIG]

195/2 in 35.5

So Pakistani batting will provide heroes today

Butt or Misbah? take one

 

[Kray_jackson7]

The pitch has no spin on and pakistan chose a specialist spinner?? whats wrong with them?

great commentary saying afridi caused th run out and then critisizing shoaib maliks captaincy. this is just great commentating. making me smile.

 

[Inswinger]

34.6 Shoaib Malik to Kandamby, 1 run, the doosra, spots it, tucks it away on the leg side for an easy single

does he got a doosra 2 ?

Yes but he rarely bowls it because it causes hie elbow to bend too much.

 

[Poison]

34.6 Shoaib Malik to Kandamby, 1 run, the doosra, spots it, tucks it away on the leg side for an easy single

does he got a doosra 2 ?

Wasnt a doosra.

 

[the true passionist]

34.6 Shoaib Malik to Kandamby, 1 run, the doosra, spots it, tucks it away on the leg side for an easy single

does he got a doosra 2 ?

that was an arm ball. Not dusra.

 

[Inswinger]

195/2 in 35.5

So Pakistani batting will provide heroes today

Butt or Misbah? take one

I'd put my money on Butt because we're playing an asian team.

 

[Poison]

195/2 in 35.5

So Pakistani batting will provide heroes today

Butt or Misbah? take one

Butt. Younis. Afridi. It is time.

 

[HuZi]

stupid cricinfo

 

[taqi]

i havnt seen a worst captain then this syalli bhagat's hero

 

[HuZi]

200 up in the 36th over

 

[Pak_NM]

:

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan has to bowl very well to restrict SL to 300 now.

 

[IronMan2009]

Afridi's hope of batsmen making mistake was evaporated by sensible batting.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They have enough wickets in hand and barring a miracle, they can easily make 320+ from here....

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

However, I think Gul and Sohail have been magnificent, so we will see how much they can restrict them now...

 

[On_the_up]

203-2 (37)

 

[Boi]

wide

 

[On_the_up]

Why the H*ck didn't we bring on a fast bowler when the new man came in (shakes head in despair)

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

10 runs off again from Afridi over...

 

[On_the_up]

It must be a great feeling as a captain to have 2 spinners with the class of Mendis and Murali, just give them the ball and enjoy the results, time after time after time

 

[Pak_NM]

Only hope is for Sohail and Gul to do something special...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dil Dil Pakistan!

 

[IronMan2009]

horrible bowling by Afridi.

 

[On_the_up]

Only hope is for Sohail and Gul to do something special...

They need to be given the opportunity to do so now not when the score is 260 though

 

[IronMan2009]

Afridi is lucky that he didn't go for many with that rank long hop early on.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

10 runs off that over.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lanka set for 320 here maybe!

 

[Inswinger]

horrible bowling by Afridi.

Its been a collective failure from our spinners. Unfair to point out just one guy.

 

[pakistanbest]

Seeing Malik And His Captainct, Just Makes Me Wish That Pakistan Are Better Off Not Playing Cricket Anymore, Thay Are Not The Same Cornered Tigers Under Him Even Under Inzy We Were An Attacking And Fighting Unit!!!

 

[taqi]

what malik thinks of him self he and afridi both are ineffective bring back fast bowlers

 

[On_the_up]

213-2 (38)

 

[Poison]

They wont get 300. Collapse is imminent.

 

[the Great Khan]

best cuptaan in the duniya..siyali's bright eyed boy!!

 

[On_the_up]

Afridi completes his spell 10-0-60-0 (and a run out)

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Afridi went for 60 in his 10 overs, I am afraid thats not good enough.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They need to be given the opportunity to do so now not when the score is 260 though

I agree they are fetching EASY runs, and once they get to 260+ even Gul and Sohail can't do much....there will also be a psychological advantage and momentum that SL will have then...

Infact, I think they should have been brought on a little earlier then now...the game kind of getting out of hand..

 

[Kray_jackson7]

it is not a spinners pitch according to commentators. pakistan were dumb enough picking another spinner aswell. afridi not bowling his usual best today but everyone has 1 bad day.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

SL's RR = 5.58

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jaan Jaan Pakistan!

 

[Inswinger]

4 more overs to go before Sohail Khan and Umer Gul finish off the Sri Lankans.
