Pakistan v Sri Lanka | Asia Cup 2014 | Fatullah | 25/2/2014 |Sri Lanka Innings

[mosh101]

Still waiting to see the attitude that moin was talking of

 

[Shafi]

Our team looks well rested and too relaxed with deshi coaching stuff!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Very boring match IMO for following reasons -

Pitch color is similar to Bajra Roti (Pearl Millet), cemented flat track.

Sick of watching Sri Lankans play so much in Asia.

Pathetic Hindi commentators, I need to recharge my Dish TV subscription for English. Watching match instead on cable TV.

What is point of Asia Cup? SL and BAN play boring cricket. Only India and Pakistan match will generate excitement, and Afghanistan is better in entertainment value than SL and BAN.

Its not a ICC tournament and crowd attendance for away team matches will be extremely low.

Rant over, switched off TV and back on PC.

good analysis

 

[Boi]

What a joke of a cricket pitch this is. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Adil_94]

This could be a boring event. Flat tracks, high scores, rubbish commentators, low production values, no DRS.

It will be a re-run of the India-Australia series

If Pitches stay like this It will be an India SL final and we all know who'll win that

only two venues for all the matches...pitches will favour bowler in the latter matches

 

[saiyan0312]

well apart from ajmal and gul, and to some extent afridi, the rest of the pakistani bowlers will struggle on these pitches since they don't have the nouse , guile and skill level to bowl on flat roads.

no longer pakistan has likes of waqar, wasim, imran, and shoaib akhter for these type of tracks.

Their strength was reverse swing. With two new balls the only other realistic way to counter flat tracks is to bowl accurate yorkers and nobody can do that for the entire match except

 

[akamaka]

cant really do anything, ball not moving, spinning, outfield fast, 330 on here for srilanka unless we pick up sangakarra

 

[mosh101]

Hafeez the lefty specialist being tonked here

 

[10sion]

Sanga treated Bangladeshi bowlers like net bowlers and currently doing the same with Pakistan. In amazing form!

 

[saiyan0312]

more.

 

[mosh101]

Another four !

Pakistan looking hopeless here

 

[Usman Chadda]

Wow this is insanely flat

 

[WebGuru]

Rameez "marginal of error is minimal"

Oh bhai you can do everything right and still go for four. Its that kind of pitch.

Enjoying Sanga classy batting

 

[saiyan0312]

We have to wait for them to make a mistake.

 

[Adil_94]

Which means that Misbah cannot afford to take his usual time to settle down. Pakistan will have to chase good throughout this tourney.

Pakistan and chase well don't go in the same sentence

4 boundaries in last 9 balls!

 

[mosh101]

Huge gaps in the field which are being cashed on quite easily by this pair

 

[shadow2357]

Half century for sanga....they are looking for a huge total

 

[saiyan0312]

I am too and you must have had alot of fun. Now time to bump some old threads man.

 

[Kianig89]

Sana bullying us now

 

[mosh101]

Anything less than 330 should be a shame for sri lanka

 

[jattafridi]

India or Sri lanka will win this Asia cup there is no way Pakistan winning this tournament

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Absolute farce of a pitch

 

[Electron]

Afridi, Bhatti and Hafeez should be bowling better than this.

 

[uberkoen]

lol What is happening?

nah let him score a ton i want to see this pakistani batting line chasing a 300+ after many years!

 

[Adil_94]

Yeah this tournament will be a batting shoot out and Pak will never win those

330 Minimum what SL should achieve from here on

 

[jattafridi]

Final score should be 360

 

[maddgenius]

SL all set to score 350

 

[WebGuru]

lol What is happening?

phainta time!

chase 300... what do you think we are india. I have given up on hopes of chasing 300

w8ing for a PP collapse

Pakistan batsmen should have it easier. Batta pitches + Trundlers = RUNS

 

[WebGuru]

always dream for something big! no fun in chasing 250 on this road!

 

[Naim]

from here they can make 350

 

[Adil_94]

Hope our openers come out firing none of this 'see off the new ball' crap Shehzads 70 S/R Tuk Tuk won't work here

[maddgenius]

Lankans creaming bowlers atm

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Our openers will be busy "seeing off the new ball"

 

[saiyan0312]

Chalo dua hai hafeez becomes like kohli and smashed them.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

India will annihilate us on phattas like this

 

[taqi]

dont worry guys SL have a weak bowling attack we can chase 320 here easily

 

[Usman Chadda]

I dont think there is any need to panic from Pakistan's side. This wicket is as good as a cement wicket, so we should just focus on damage control more than anything else

 

[WebGuru]

Chalo dua hai hafeez becomes like kohli and smashed them.

I want to see Sharjeel giving some phainty back. Tired of watching professor becoming bradman against lankan attack.

 

[razabbas]

Wow what a batting track Sharjeel aj kuch kar jana please

 

[Adil_94]

always dream for something big! no fun in chasing 250 on this road!

We can make 300 but the problem is SL will make 330-350

umer gul on. either he will ruin his figures of give us a breakthrough.

 

[Red Devil]

Gul Back

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Umar Gul... attacking move from Misbah

 

[Naim]

gul back into attack

 

[razabbas]

There is no need of panic we chased 225 against the same lankan side just from 40 overs with 8 wickets in hands

 

[saiyan0312]

Dude the word is hafeez. On phatta tracks against mediocre attacks bradman can only wish he becomes hafeez. : P: P

 

[razabbas]

We have good batting lineup
Sharjeel , Ahmed , Maqsood , Umar akmal , Misbah , Hafeez We can chase big target here against toothless SL bowlers

 

[Naim]

what a shot :4

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is a brilliant batting pitch and its very tough to bowl here.

 

[WebGuru]

We can make 300 but the problem is SL will make 330-350

Thats why i added a + with 300 so its 300+

 

[saiyan0312]

I far what will kohli do on these pitches.

 

[razabbas]

Dude the word is hafeez. On phatta tracks against mediocre attacks bradman can only wish he becomes hafeez. : P: P

Once there was a time when we used to struggle to cross 200 mark on these type of flat pattas but now there is a hope that we can chase it

 

[Bullet Drive]

Today can't wait to see our batsman

 

[Bullet Drive]

Akram has ruined Bilawal Bhatti. Bhatti joined the team as a 145kph bowler. He's changed a lot.

 

[razabbas]

I far what will kohli do on these pitches.

Our match against India is in dhaka not here and the last 2 matches Bangla vs SL was looking sporting wickets

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bring the right handers in and you will see Afridi cause damage.

 

[Naim]

i am mission irfan

 

[MarkCooper]

Has Wasim called any 35 year old cricketers "this youngster" yet?

 

[razabbas]

Today can't wait to see our batsman

Exactly espcly sharjeel , ahmed and maqsood

 

[Bullet Drive]

Focus on today not what Kohli will do. Our boy Junaid ruined him in India. Don't worry.

 

[saiyan0312]

Our match against India is in dhaka not here and the last 2 matches Bangla vs SL was looking sporting wickets

Oh good.

 

[taqi]

we should start bowling yorkers and slower ones damage control

 

[Bullet Drive]

So happy with this team.

 

[Amjid Javed]

The more the inns goes along the more pathetic the bowling gets, flat wicket or not this has been poor stuff from our bowlers!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sharjeel, Shehzad, Maqsood & Akmal on this pitch batting - WOW

 

[Amjid Javed]

SL 175/1 after 30 overs

 

[Red Devil]

Too easy for SL

 

[razabbas]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA kya pitch ha yaaar ) ) )

 

[Bullet Drive]

176-1

 

[BHM :D]

Akram has ruined Bilawal Bhatti. Bhatti joined the team as a 145kph bowler. He's changed a lot.

How do you know

 

[Adil_94]

Dude the word is hafeez. On phatta tracks against mediocre attacks bradman can only wish he becomes hafeez. : P: P

The difference is we will be chasing over 300 this time Hafeez will choke just like the rest of our bats do
