[checkers.llvllaster]

Also good move by Malik to save Gul for the death overs and bring Rao in

 

[HuZi]

[Eagle Eyes]

Need a wicket boys. Lets go.

 

[MIG]

Waqr says Sohail much more improved bowler than when he saw him as bowling coach

27/0 after 9.4

 

[Poison]

Jaya tries to hammer Sohail.
Epic Fail.

 

[MIG]

Inside edge for Dilshan - single - 29/0 in 9.5

 

[Poison]

Dilshan has no idea. Inside edge just past the stumps.

 

[HuZi]

[Big Daddy]

khapooray become smashed

 

[Da Best]

constrictor to bowl?

 

[kasoo10]

Normal Waqar commentary resumes ))

[MIG]

29/0 in 10 overs - SL under pressure

2nd Power play now taken

 

[kingusama92]

Dilshan beaten for pace. Looks out of his depth.
Normal Waqar commentary resumes ))
"looking for a room"

I LOLed at that comment from him too...

I hope Dilshan came to play cricket and not find rooms in Pakistan...

 

[amarmak]

rao rao rao your boat gently down the stream...

 

[kingusama92]

Powerplay 2 taken...

 

[MIG]

4 !! by Jaya and driven uppishly

3rd bondary

Off Rao

33/0

 

[Inswinger]

Is there no damn commentary on the streams????

 

[pakistanbest]

444444444444444 from Jaya off Boa the Constrictor

 

[Poison]

The Raw gets hit for 4.

 

[Khabri420]

Rao is listed as Right arm medium in cricinfo? That's ridiculous.

 

[kingusama92]

4444 ... nooo how could a sweet figure like Rao get smashed??

 

[MIG]

And drops short of Umer Gul - Jaya survives! Gul a little slow

35/0

 

[Da Best]

44444444444444444444444444 by jaya

 

[lollol]

Seems to be a bowler friendly pitch, certainly not a 300+ pitch

 

[kasoo10]

Is it a wash-room Dilshan is looking for?

 

[kingusama92]

shooot... lands in no mans land... I though Jaya was a goner..

 

[pakistanbest]

skied!!! but gul couldnt get to it

 

[MIG]

quick single - 36/0 in 10.3 overs

Waqar telling Akhtar to think about being a medium pacer !

 

[Poison]

And Rao responds by nearly getting him. He is emotionless this chap. Very lucky.

 

[HuZi]

waqar hasn't got the littlel finger on his hand does he ?

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

The guys have bowled and well they deserve a wicket.

 

[Da Best]

only 36 runs of 10.3 overs

 

[MIG]

36/0 in 10.4 overs

 

[kingusama92]

waqar hasn't got the littlel finger on his hand does he ?

nope got cut off early in his playing days.. due to some mishap while diving in somewhere with water......

 

[MIG]

SL bats picking up the pace a little - 37/0 in 10.5

 

[Poison]

Waqar doesnt think Akhtar can bowl quick anymore.
He's talking alot of sense here. Really smart guy :younis

 

[kasoo10]

waqar hasn't got the littlel finger on his hand does he ?

No I am sure he doesn't. Never stopped him from doing anything.

 

[MIG]

Good single to end the over of Rao

38/0 in 11 overs

Time for a change - spin?

 

[MIG]

Waqar saying that he told Shoaib to do less weight training and more bowling !

 

[Poison]

These singles are terrible. Cover and midwicket should come in a few steps.

 

[amarmak]

9 runs off the over... thats 26% of srilanka's runs in one over

 

[kingusama92]

no they can't bring in spin this early... but maybe they will...

 

[kasoo10]

9 runs off last over from Anjum.

 

[IronMan2009]

Waqar makes lot of sensible points. Will Akhtar listen to those? Being a fast bowler himself he knows the real problems you face when you get older.

 

[Sparhawk]

Jayasuriya is luckier than sehwag...

 

[amarmak]

unlucky sohail... very good bowling. his 6th over of the innings.

 

[Poison]

Waqar saying that he told Shoaib to do less weight training and more bowling !

He's talking sense. He's obviously Savak in disguise.

 

[MIG]

Cork says Pakistan is a great place to tour

Edged and picked up near third man - desperation by Jaya agaoinst Sohail

2 runs

40/0 after 11.1

 

[kingusama92]

wow they are getting really lucky now... balls are just falling in empty spaces..

 

[Poison]

)
"Bit of a desperation from Jayasuriya" :younis

 

[kasoo10]

Something has to give. Wicket or Jaya will cut loose.

 

[Big Daddy]

6th over of high throttle. houston we have a touch down

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Jaya is picking his SR up slowly...

 

[Poison]

Anyone else think Sohail looks ALOT liek Shoaib when he walks back to his mark?

 

[MIG]

break for me - laptop battery nee recharge!

41/0 in 11.3 over

pls keep up the score updates

 

[Poison]

Sohail is at least 145.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

All though we have bowled well, our openers should learn from the SL openers about how to rotate the strike when the boundaries are restricted.

 

[Sparhawk]

wow they are getting really lucky now... balls are just falling in empty spaces..

Its very frustrating to see all these inside edges and mishits not getting a wicket.. great bowling for no reward. But the impressive thing is Sohail doesn't look frustrated!

 

[Poison]

No extras so far. Superb.

 

[HuZi]

yeah good opening bowling man much betther than the previous matches

 

[amarmak]

i guess this is it... sohails spell is over. What do u guys think??

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

They also keep coming down the track, but not hitting it the way they are used to...good stuff from our pacers..

 

[Poison]

42-0 after 12/.

 

[Da Best]

ill give sohail one more over and then let ajmal bowl~!

 

[kingusama92]

i guess this is it... sohails spell is over. What do u guys think??

Top class spell, he couldn't have done anything better. Great pace and seam movement.

 

[IronMan2009]

Ball is still darting around.

 

[Poison]

i guess this is it... sohails spell is over. What do u guys think??

Best prospect in Pakistan in my opinion. Fast, accurate, what more do you want?

 

[Inswinger]

3rd umpire to review

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Best prospect in Pakistan in my opinion. Fast, accurate, what more do you want?
