Pakistan v Sri Lanka | T20 WC | Group F | Johannesburg | 17/9/07 | SL Inns

[Ilyas]

If spinners have done good job, should we try Younis Khan for one over...

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Bowling strategy: I say, continue with Hafeez and Afridi until they are down with their 4 overs, or until one of them started bleeding runs. Even if that delays Umar Gul. No need to disturb the current scene, if these two spinners have things under control.

17/1 in the last 4.4 overs.

 

[immubhai]

102/44, Lankans need another 88

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Dew is getting heavier! Allah mian dew mut send ker!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and now the dew is taking its toll

 

[immubhai]

Get Chamra out, he is picking his spots niecly, (says Ravi Shastri)

 

[purplehaze]

Breaking news : Pakistan and India fielders are nominated for "ICC Most generous fielders of the year" award.

 

[Rob H]

What a shot. Tricked Afridi into bowling the quicker ball and guided it to 3rd man. Duped the bowler then.

 

[kablooee87]

Dew is getting heavier! Allah mian dew mut send ker!

reminds me of Champions Trophy match. That Razzaq dropped catch....totally because of the dew.

[PlanetPakistan]

cracking over from Gul!
77 needed of 36 balls

 

[kablooee87]

I rate Dilshan over Mubarak any day. Can't deny that Pak are on top here though. Will be tough to screw this up from here.

 

[Saj]

come on Lala. Lets have another one

 

[12thMan]

SL 113-6 after 14 - need 77 from 36 balls

 

[W63L35]

Gul will only get to bowl THREE overs!!! malik may have to bowl one!

Miscalculation from Malik's standpoint????? I hope, it does not hurt us!
