Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 3rd Test | Day 5 | Sharjah | 7/11/11

[Bullet Drive]

Jayasuria thinks it will be a draw.

 

[Bullet Drive]

"As much as I love Dilshan as a batsman, this test series showed why he is not suitable for captaincy as he should've declared early today and gone for the win. 1-0 or 2-0 a loss is a loss. it's more heartning when you see guys like BT who has made Zimbabwe an exciting and competitive side with him attacking captaincy and batting. Oh well, Pakistan has survived 5 innings without a collapse so I get I can hope for one now as Pakistan not collapsing not even once in a test series is like Bruno Mars not singing 'just the way you are' in one of his major concerts." Well said, Jeewa.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played Misbah-ul-Haq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Perfect situation for Misbah-ul-Haq

 

[Bullet Drive]

32 overs minimum after this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 run to Misbah-ul-Haq

 

[Sherlock]

First 10 over will yield few runs, solidity is needed now after some awful batting.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq on strike now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq just needs to carry on now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq is usually good once set and he is now set

 

[Bullet Drive]

Loads around bat

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah-ul-Haq on strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq now has an average of 40.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Welly on now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah-ul-Haq not comftorable there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

63-3.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shutup sanath, what's wrong with you.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is injured I think.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Batsmen hurt his hand. Misbah-ul-Haq has the physio.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maybe wasting time is Misbah?

 

[Ryankhan]

Very sad to see this score. Stupid taufeeq slow runner got hafeez out. hafeez was told to play agressive and boy he was spot on, if he wasnt out, we would have been on the track to win this one. didnt saw how AA n YK got out. damn, these players has to learn , how to play in under pressure. YK has tons of exp but dont know still what happenes to em. hope now taufeeq n misbah atleast saves the match if not a win........

 

[Bullet Drive]

He looks to be in some pain does Misbah, normally not one to be in pain.

 

[cricf@n]

how many overs left?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Short one to Misbah-ul-Haq

 

[Bullet Drive]

30 overs left.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Some extra bounce, Misbah-ul-Haq pressure.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Showing the SL ODI squad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Blocked from Misbah-ul-Haq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Blocked, inside edge.

Misbah-ul-Haq - under preswsure.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dead batting everything. Way to go

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can they bowl 30 overs in 90 minutes?

 

[Sherlock]

Depends on the light. I reckon we'll see an early end to play, maybe 5-6 overs till the end.

 

[Paradox]

ayyo.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Round the wicket.

 

[12cavalry]

Earthquake is Islamabad...felt it

 

[ads101]

Very brave decision to declare like that by Dilshan. Commend him for it. Gave Sri Lanka a good chance of a win.

Misbah's really a man in form isn't he, he's really becoming our guy in crisis to bail us out under pressure. He just doesn't seem to get out these days until he's at least made a 50.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Show the PAK ODI SQUAD MAN

 

[Bullet Drive]

Blocked from Misbah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Welly to Misbah, no run

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah-ul-Haq - short ball.

 

[talha3]

Taufeeq needed to score in this innings to keep the selectors interested.

 

[Bullet Drive]

'Sri Lanka will lose this one day series' - Jayasuria.

 

[Sherlock]

It was a really strange decision by SL to bet for 25-30 mins in the morning session, other than that, they've been pretty positive.

 

[12cavalry]

It seems like the light has improved.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah-ul-Haq - 2 runs, well played.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Light has definitely improved here.

 

[Sherlock]

That's the spirit Jaya. Nice to get the fans on your side.

 

[Bullet Drive]

65-3 now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Left the ball there. Easy for Misbah-ul-Haq

 

[Bullet Drive]

You've got to get Misbah-ul-Haq to play as much

 

[Sherlock]

Light will disintegrate soon.

 

[talha3]

Extra incentive for Taufeeq, stay not out and keep a 40+ average.

 

[Bullet Drive]

there.

 

[talha3]

There you go, bad ball put away.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely stroke.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why has Dilshan put him self on?

 

[Sherlock]

Dilshan thinks he can bowl all three spinners, including himself, at once. Ego problem maybe?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Rangy

 

[JibranAnsari]

1 . . 1 . . | . . . . . . | . . . . . . | . . . .

wonderful stuff

 

[Bullet Drive]

Herath on now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

1 . . 1 . . | . . . . . . | . . . . . . | . . . .

wonderful stuff

 

[Bullet Drive]

Don't think we will see the slog-sweep this game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

26 overs left?

 

[Sherlock]

The target is gone. The subject is to survive now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope Misbah finishes with a 47 average

 

[Bullet Drive]

Padded away this time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nice ball from Herry.

 

[Sherlock]

We seriously need someone else along with Hafeez to up the rate, when needed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Padded away. OVER

 

[Bullet Drive]

We seriously need someone else along with Hafeez to up the rate, when needed.

We have the perfect man.

U.Akmal

 

[CalculatedRisk]

selectors will remain interested if Taufeeq remains not not.

 

[ItsMeK1]

 

[Bullet Drive]

more for Taufeeq

 

[JibranAnsari]

We seriously need someone else along with Hafeez to up the rate, when needed.

That is umar akmal and fawad alam easily generates singles and doubles.

 

[talha3]

Bad ball again and put away by Taufeeq. See he is putting the bad ball away, unlike what some posters said.

 

[Bullet Drive]

selectors will remain interested if Taufeeq remains not not.

He scored a double hundred.

Interested now till his retirement

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well stopped.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played Toffee

 

[Bullet Drive]

Quick ball from Dilshan.
