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

[Poison]

Good bowling Ajmal. Tight over.

 

[On_the_up]

118-1 (23) good over by Ajmal, only 2 off it

 

[MIG]

119/1 23.2 beats batsmen Afridi

 

[pakistanbest]

easy singles. porr captaincy. more fielders should be bought into the ring

 

[amarmak]

wickets yyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Poison]

Beauty from Freedi.

 

[HuZi]

oya links pleas pakmusic one isn''t working man

 

[Boi]

Working fine for me

All I have now is ablack screen!?!

 

[Poison]

Malik should bowl 5, Afridi bowl 5

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

This is usually the phase where Pak let other teams easy runs, cant afford to that today

Completely agree. People like Afirdi, Malik and Ajmal today don't take enough wickets. But to be fair to Malik and Afridi our Opening bowlers in the recent past have been creamed too often in the recent past hence they come on under huge pressure.

 

[SohailQureshi]

tnv stream stops again *sighs*

 

[MIG]

easy singles. porr captaincy. more fielders should be bought into the ring

Pak should get some more people in the ground - 11 isnt enough

 

[Poison]

oya links pleas pakmusic one isn''t working man

It is for me. Awesome 400kbps + free.

 

[Boi]

Great coverage by TVN Sports!!

 

[Easa]

There are 4 men in the circle, should be about 6 of them.

Let them hit over the top, I honestly don't mind. Afridi needs to take some initiative here and urge the fielders to get into the ring. Good deliveries are being worked around.

 

[On_the_up]

124-1 (24) Pak zipping through the overs

 

[HuZi]

Any Gud Link Please !!!

 

[Boi]

Wahay its back!!

 

[Easa]

"This partnership quietly taking the game away from Pakistan" - Rameez

?

How so?

 

[MIG]

All I have now is ablack screen!?!

Still working for me - bhai - try and close IE and reload page (login again to their site)

 

[Poison]

Malik should bowl the rest of Ifti's overs. He's not in a good vein today. Isn't wearing Hugo.

 

[SohailQureshi]

is it me or the commentary on the stream from TVN is really low? i mean you can hardly hear what the comms are saying?

 

[On_the_up]

Afridi doesn't use the faster one too often these days, too predictable for the batsmen and they are happy to milk him

 

[MIG]

"This partnership quietly taking the game away from Pakistan" - Rameez

?

How so?

Because he is a great new gen commentator ...

 

[Easa]

Afridi doesn't use the faster one too often these days, too predictable for the batsmen and they are happy to milk him

We all know who's fault that is, don't we?

 

[Boi]

Still working for me - bhai - try and close IE and reload page (login again to their site)

Its working now!

 

[HuZi]

he's bowling gud now much better ( ajmal )

 

[pakistanbest]

Rao will need to come back stronger, Sohail cant be bowled before the death overs

think it was a poor decision to play Ajmal, Arafat should have played, better batting, feilding and possibly bowling

 

[On_the_up]

is it me or the commentary on the stream from TVN is really low? i mean you can hardly hear what the comms are saying?

NO its not you, I have heard every word uttered by Akmal so far though

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

How not so?

 

[Easa]

I think Christy bhai is a decent commentator. He's not someone who will turn out to be one of my favorites, but he's miles ahead of most other Asian commentators.

 

[Easa]

How not so?

The game is quite evenly poised.

 

[MIG]

is it me or the commentary on the stream from TVN is really low? i mean you can hardly hear what the comms are saying?

I am in Bahrain and our internet speeds are horrible but even with that, I am having no problem

Not to say that others arent but this is my experience.

 

[Poison]

Alot of singles.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

I think the Lankans are on course for 300 here.

 

[iafzal]

The way things are going they are looking to make close to 300.
Someone will need to do something special to contian them around 250-260 now.

 

[NeVerMind]

Great stop and throw from Butt. sicne when did he become a good fielder. This and the catch in the first match.

And they are playing raggae music between the overs. It's like I am in the carribean. Not really. Godd tune though. Anyone know who it is by?
"Shine shine on"...

 

[Poison]

The game is quite evenly poised.

Its meandering though Easa. If they get to 200-1, then we're in deeeep trouble.

 

[Boi]

We need to pressurise the batsmen and then wickets will come!

They can take these singles all day if we dont bring players into the circle!

 

[MIG]

134-1 after 26

 

[taqi]

defensive captains like malik always do these blunders

 

[MIG]

135-1 after 26.2

 

[Easa]

Its meandering though Easa. If they get to 200-1, then we're in deeeep trouble.

The way I see it, the more runs, the merrier

But seriously, I expect a mini-collapse before the end of the innings. If we're chasing 250-270, I expect us to successfully chase it down. Some of our batsman are due major runs.

 

[Poison]

Dude, Malik has captained very well today.

 

[On_the_up]

134-1 (26), these bowlers are going for around 5 an over without posing too many problems to the batsmen, Pak cannot afford this at the moment, Malik needs to rotate the bowlers to get a wkt or 2

 

[MIG]

defensive captains like malik always do these blunders

What blunder? pls explain

 

[amarmak]

defensive captains like malik always do these blunders

well no other option today... rao ruined all his plans.

 

[Boi]

27th over to be bowled by Ajmal

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

The game is quite evenly poised.

So I guess you would be happy if we chased a big total?

 

[Easa]

Yeah, it's all Malik's fault

There was a mini-earthquake in some sectors of Karachi this morning. Damn you captain saab :romeo:

 

[On_the_up]

Dilshan gets his 50

 

[Easa]

So I guess you would be happy if we chased a big total?

I'd be delighted. I'd be bursting with open felicity.

 

[Poison]

They're motoring, but the last boundary hasn't been for ages.

 

[Boi]

50 vor TM Dilshan!

 

[iafzal]

Our spinners have looked very ordinary today.

 

[Boi]

He cuts and they get 2 runs!

 

[Boi]

Swept for 1 run!

 

[On_the_up]

140-1 (27)

 

[Poison]

' The man, in a good knick ' :younis

 

[taqi]

What blunder? pls explain

only 4 fielders in the ring allow them to set down and then they can attack
he have done it so may times

 

[Boi]

Afridi to continue!

 

[NeVerMind]

Man, they are playing some serious dance tunes between the overs. Somebody must have gotten a hold of a Ministry of Sound album...

 

[MIG]

' The man, in a good knick ' :younis

Could have been worst with The Good Knick....

 

[Poison]

Ridiculous misfield. Afridi glares.

 

[On_the_up]

safe to say that PAk have successfully managed to get the Sri Lankan batting back into form

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri Lanka set for 270+ here and once again pressure will be on pakistans 5 man batting line up.

 

[Boi]

Late cut from Sanga and they get 1

 

[MIG]

146/ in 28 overs

looks like 250+ chase for Pak

 

[Poison]

Could have been worst with The Good Knick....

Personally I'm waiting for the "This guy is in a good knickers" :younis

 

[On_the_up]

146-1 (28)

 

[Easa]

Malik replaces Ajmal.

Good move.

 

[MIG]

Sri Lanka set for 270+ here and once again pressure will be on pakistans 5 man batting line up.

Call me pessimistic but I am not holding my breath here

 

[On_the_up]

The partnership has raced to 70

 

[MIG]

261 is the current forecast based on rr

 

[Amjid Javed]

Once again in middle over the spinner have been toothless!

 

[MIG]

149/1 in 28.2

 

[Easa]

Pakistan are going to win this game. I'm calling it right here, as the proceedings stand at:

147/1 after 28.2 overs

Call me on it.

 

[MIG]

Pakistan are going to win this game. I'm calling it right here, as the proceedings stand at:

147/1 after 28.2 overs

Call me on it.

hello?

 

[Boi]

Four!
Swept for four!

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Our spinners are seeming very ordinary, they keep sweeping our spinners and easily getting away with it. That's not a sign of good spinner....if our batsman were to do that even couple of times against Mendis and Murali, we wouldn't get away with it.
