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

[Bullet Drive]

Run out is Hafeez. Massive wicket.

 

[Sledger]

Run out now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drawwwww!

 

[talha3]

There goes the chance of a win.

We should accept 1-0 now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hesitation from Mohammad Hafeez. Lost it now :*(

 

[DW44]

Blaaaaargghhh....

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez and there goes our slight chance of a win out of the window.

 

[ItsMeK1]

Younis Khan

 

[Misbah01]

Now its a draw. Azhar ali willmake sure we wont score even 100 in 60 overs

 

[CalculatedRisk]

why do they act so stupidly?

 

[ItsMeK1]

Azhar Ali is in

 

[qamar84]

brain fart for pakistan

 

[Asif321]

DRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why have they sent in Azhar Ali

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ali must score at 55+ here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

One of my favorite batsmen is Azhar Ali but this isn't his situation.

End of run chase.

 

[qamar84]

Pakistan RR 4.13

now he'll go 2.05

 

[talha3]

Why have they sent in Azhar Ali

Who else do you want them to send in? No other natural stroke makers in this line up!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez run out

Guess there goes the run chase!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mohammad Hafeez ran real slow.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan are going for a draw here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan just need to solidly bat the day out now and nothing stupid!

 

[Bullet Drive]

20-1. Chances gone

 

[Bullet Drive]

Gets it through

 

[Bullet Drive]

for Azhar Ali

 

[Sledger]

Good placement, Azhar going for the win.

Four.

 

[talha3]

Hmmm. Azhar plays at one he wouldn't have usually played at. Slight intent??

 

[qamar84]

lucky for

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely stroke from Ali

 

[Bullet Drive]

Picks up two that time.

 

[talha3]

Another one!!

Azhar making a case for ODI selection?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor running from Taufeeq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Terrible from Taufeeq.

 

[qamar84]

azhar in mood to atack here great job kid

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inshallah Azhar wins this for us. Could he be the man.

 

[Osman]

well well well

 

[Sledger]

Lol, Hafeez going doesn't mean there is no chance to win. Wickets in hand should be the strategy now - Younis and Misbah will probably be able to acceletrate Vs spin. Azhar Ali is the key, he needs to rotate strike.

They've already got more than 1/10th of the total.

 

[talha3]

The batsmen are overestimating the outfield. Rain has made it very slow

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar off the mark with 4.

24/1

 

[qamar84]

6 runs in 6 balls great job here

 

[Bullet Drive]

26-1. Inshallah this is ours

 

[spoiled]

what even azhar going for the chase?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Agree, great post.

Taufeeq will do poorly

Special guest

 

[talha3]

Would love to see some of those straight drives from Taufeeq right now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Special guest on here. Don't know who. Arab.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Taufeeq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

228 more to win.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Abdulrahman Bukhatir.

 

[talha3]

LOL I don't think this guy watches much cricket

 

[Bullet Drive]

This guy.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Guy never answered the question there.

 

[sazz]

Hafeez unlucky to get out.

In between why Hafeez is called as "Professor"?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Loads of bounce there.

 

[spoiled]

bukhatir in the house!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez unlucky to get out.

In between why Hafeez is called as "Professor"?

He knows everything.

Clever guy.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Just need to keep rotating the strike and put away bad balls for 4!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Welegedera and Herath are the danger men.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rotating strike is key here.

 

[ddss]

So how many runs of how many balls? I am following the thread for updates

 

[Bullet Drive]

PS. Am I the only one who doesn't understand what he is saying?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar Ali needs to go at 50+

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq on strike.

 

[spoiled]

^yes

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sharjah started in 1973.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq just blocking of course.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 27/1 After 7 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Loads of turn there for Herath.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq needs to use his feet here.

 

[spoiled]

i am big fan of azhar's but in this situation its hard to like him

 

[Bullet Drive]

Must attack spinners, can't let them settle like Taufeeq does.

 

[talha3]

Get the sweep out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah will also probably chase this well if he was here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last ball of the over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 run to Taufeeq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq keeps the strike now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's not good enough. Just one off the over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We must rotate strike regularly and put away the bad ball. We must go for a win.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Left arm-round on now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Left arm round to Taufeeq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely stroke, no run.
