Pakistan v Sri Lanka | Abu Dhabi | 1st Test | Day 5 | 22/10/11

[SwingNSeam]

take one the OTHER WAY

 

[abdulhafeez306]

Almost just happened

It's "almost" happened on too many occasions. It actually needs to happen now

 

[insaftak]

's bowling well here

 

[insaftak]

junaid hitting 140kph

[farsiddiqui]

Junaid continues to trouble Jaya. Just need one delivery to get through.

[talha3]

No wicket after the first hour...time running out. Minimum 2 wickets needed in the next hour.

 

[osee_bhai]

Frig this is pretty frustrating

 

[insaftak]

74 overs to go

 

[abdulhafeez306]

If we don't get a wicket in this session I'm off to bed. There's only so much sleep I can sacrifice plus Liverpool is playing in 9hrs 28mins.

 

[cricfan4ever]

1st hour goes to SL, need wickets desperately otherwise this match is headed for a draw which will be pretty much like a loss!!!

damn those dropped catches and unusually slow batting also to be blamed!

 

[Misbah01]

No wicket after the first hour...time running out. Minimum 2 wickets needed in the next hour.

We need all of them in this session. If lankans takes a lead of 100 then im sure Pak will bat safely n go for a draw.

 

[Torpedo]

Series will be a 0-0 draw like I predicted.

 

[NJamal]

Sri Lanka leads by 23 runs.

 

[SwingNSeam]

if will be SL's win if this game is drawn.

 

[osee_bhai]

Crowds woken up!

 

[SwingNSeam]

bowl slower man

 

[cricfan4ever]

Ajmal has not been upto the mark this morning...may be tired from the long spell from yesterday...

 

[Sherlock]

Draw most likely now. As I predicted.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Why is bowling at parveen kumar's pace. He should slow it doen a tad bit to get more spin and turn

 

[insaftak]

73 overs to go

 

[abdulhafeez306]

Would PPers take a 100 run target with 35 overs to chase it? At this moment I would.

 

[SwingNSeam]

nicee held its line

 

[osee_bhai]

Every ball is interesting with Junaid.

 

[talha3]

Cmon Junaid, produce the magic ball

 

[osee_bhai]

Would PPers take a 100 run target with 35 overs to chase it? At this moment I would.

Everyone would. It's not going to be a cakewalk getting rid of the tail either.

 

[insaftak]

Junaid!

What a bowler just needs to take a wicket now

 

[abdulhafeez306]

How many times is it going to miss the edge? On flat tracks 5 beats should be an out

 

[Misbah01]

Would PPers take a 100 run target with 35 overs to chase it? At this moment I would.

I will even take 150 for 35 overs

 

[SwingNSeam]

no ball

 

[SwingNSeam]

Its all about 1 wicket. Let's get it.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Shot!

 

[insaftak]

 

[Strike!]

This is torture.

 

[kkmix]

good good, now looks like pakistan will actually win.

 

[Misbah01]

Its all about 1 wicket. Let's get it.

As if we have a v good record against tailenders

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Alright it's settled, it's going to be a draw... I'm off to sleep.

 

[talha3]

I will even take 150 for 35 overs

Exactly. Bowling them out with even 25 overs left in the day seems like an achievement.

 

[spoiled]

Junaid has been impressive..have to feel for him

 

[SwingNSeam]

bad ball

 

[SwingNSeam]

As if we have a v good record against tailenders

Did you not see the first inning?

 

[insaftak]

what crap bowling by ajmal

 

[amirfanforlife]

oh goddd

 

[Misbah01]

Did you not see the first inning?

Did you miss mathews partnerships with tail?

 

[SwingNSeam]

Shot!

 

[osee_bhai]

Ajmal has been the most disappointing today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor cricket

 

[SwingNSeam]

Did you miss mathews partnerships with tail?

That's mathews. Check his avg

 

[Bullet Drive]

We cant lose this

 

[SwingNSeam]

This is like torture

 

[NJamal]

Excellent innings by Sanga. He has gone past Sanath as the leading Lankan scorer against Pakistan in Tests.

 

[praveen]

How many times is it going to miss the edge? On flat tracks 5 beats should be an out

haha and three body beats too.

 

[Misbah01]

That's mathews. Check his avg

And wht abt number 9 and number 10, they did support him and scored abt 18 odd runs each

 

[abdulhafeez306]

Need to take it one wicket at a time. Sanga's would be ideal but I wouldn't mind getting Jayawardene to be honest with you.

This over c'mon Junaid!

 

[cricfan4ever]

poor bowling from Ajmal...

 

[SwingNSeam]

Maybe try Hafeez from the other end.

 

[spoiled]

no doubt it is torture

highs and lows of this match and life..tell me about it

 

[abdulhafeez306]

haha and three body beats too.

One tip one hand to top it all off

 

[SwingNSeam]

And wht abt number 9 and number 10, they did support him and scored abt 18 odd runs each

Let me know when they start scoring 35+. As of now, even they score 18 runs each and get out we are all set. So all we need is one wicket.

 

[talha3]

Hardly anything for the bowlers on day 5 of a test match. I doubt we will ever have a result at this venue.

 

[abdulhafeez306]

40 minutes till I sleep......unless........

 

[Misbah01]

Let me know when they start scoring 35+. As of now, even they score 18 runs each and get out we are all set. So all we need is one wicket.

And what abt the runs scored by their partners, Sangakara or Jayawardene will be batting alongside them

 

[SwingNSeam]

good yorker.

 

[chaiwala]

Yorker jammed down by Prasanna

 

[osee_bhai]

I think some hardcore sledging needs to be attempted.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Sri Lanka scoring at a good pace

 

[chaiwala]

Hafeez on

 

[SwingNSeam]

And what abt the runs scored by their partners, Sangakara or Jayawardene will be batting alongside them

It's not that hard to understand. Lets just get a wicket first.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Looks like it most likely will be a draw...

 

[osee_bhai]

lets go butterfingers!

 

[Misbah01]

It's not that hard to understand. Lets just get a wicket first.

Yeah but its not a matter of just one wicket which you were saying before

 

[SwingNSeam]

redeem yourself.

 

[Sherlock]

The result will boost SL and moral of the Pakistani players will be the complete opposite.

 

[SwingNSeam]

Yeah but its not a matter of just one wicket which you were saying before

ok. Whatever you say

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yaar kya chuss hai. Out karo...

 

[SwingNSeam]

borring

 

[insaftak]

They need to prepare a dust bowl or a green top for dubai

if that's possible

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on

 

[Bullet Drive]

poor bowling tbh
