Pakistan v Sri Lanka| World T20 | Lords |12/6/09

[GLORY OF '92]

Changing ur opinion Oxy?

 

[Inswinger]

151 is the target.

 

[Zeenix]

What a comeback from Pakistan

 

[Savak]

How will we deal with Murali and Mendis?

 

[saqeeb90]

SrilankA ARE `150/7 after 20 overs..

 

[kablooee87]

70 runs in the last 12 overs.

 

[Momo]

151 is exactly the score Holland needed to qualify.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

150 up not a bad total considering they were hammered by dilshan jaya and tanvir

 

[saqeeb90]

its not huge total,
they should get it.

 

[Zeenix]

Imagine if there weren't those 20 extras..

 

[Inswinger]

Wow. Malik gave up 5 runs in 2 overs.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

This is very chasable. Pakistan should get this now. InshaAllah

 

[saqeeb90]

151 is exactly the score Holland needed to qualify.

i hope pak don't get out at 90

 

[Momo]

How will we deal with Murali and Mendis?

By launching them into the stands.

 

[pak4life]

im still worried about their spinners. Start is crucial

 

[invincible]

150 is too less a score by SL

Pak should get this comfortably ... Murali-Mendis will have a say but unlike other teams, I doubt our subcontinental teams gift wickets to them ... They may put in a tight shift of 4 overs but I don't see anything beyond that ...

 

[FM87]

pak conceded 20 extras...150 is still a good score...

 

[saqeeb90]

Imagine if there weren't those 20 extras..

yep true so true..........
i hope pak don't loose this b.c of 20 extras..

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Yk's captaincy in this match has been excellent so far. Good bowling changes, good field settings. Tanvir screwed it up, otherwise lankans would have been struggling

 

[mooz]

Imagine if there weren't those 20 extras..

or if Tanvir had been injured...

 

[Serendipity]

Lanka have great bowling attack with brilliant fielding to back up, we need to play really well and with some plan and energy.

 

[Indiafan]

Great comeback. Pak batsmen should hit out at the pace bowlers initially and then just see Murali/mendis away. Anyways they play Mendis pretty well

 

[mooz]

Wow. Malik gave up 5 runs in 2 overs.

Kind of a shame he didn't bowl all 4 overs.

 

[Fallen King]

Look like Sohail Tanveer was injured. Abdul Razzaq will certainly replace him for sure.

 

[Momo]

It's okay guys. We'd manage 151. Inshaallah.

 

[P4K1 #1]

i think pakistan can chase 151 to win..

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

will pak be fined for slow over rate? or did they finish on time?

 

[MIG]

bach gaay Pakistan...

 

[Salman_S]

150, will be a tight game against SL spin bowlers. But pakistan have certainly got themselves back into the game. Good fight, thats all we ask from our players.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Razzaq in for tanvir next match and then this is a very strong team.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

It's okay guys. We'd manage 151. Inshaallah.

Momo. tell me honestly, did you fix this match?

 

[dani2k]

I bet SL will open their attack with spin and Kulasekara who is difficult to get away with

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Agree about YKs captaincy. It was impressive in this innings.

 

[akpower]

great return by pakistan. lets get 1 up here and get some momentum going. wonder how indian fans in the crowd would be doing now after their sing and dance acts when Pak was being hammered by Dilshan and Jaya.

 

[Momo]

Momo. tell me honestly, did you fix this match?

No. Bas mera dil kehta hai.

 

[RumiNYC]

great bowling by Pak but btw

PCB gave me no independence - Qadir

Former chief selector says Afridi was his choice as captain...hmmmm

 

[iZeeshan]

Amazing restriction by Pakistan.

But it will still be a really tough ask considering how well our spinners did!

 

[dani2k]

150, will be a tight game against SL spin bowlers. But pakistan have certainly got themselves back into the game. Good fight, thats all we ask from our players.

So..you dont want to win this match

 

[pak4life]

Hope we have a batting strategy we just need a good start cant afford to lose more then a wicket in the first 6 overs

 

[Shah]

Is there a reason Alam does not get to bowl or bat even when he plays? He can definitely bowl better than Tanvir.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

mathew to start to butt

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

first ball good no run

 

[UP]

Hope Pakistan clinch it easily!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[saqeeb90]

[PakPassionate]

[Inswinger]

[GLORY OF '92]

[pak4life]

[ali_ed2006]

[Inswinging Yorker]

[PakPassionate]

Hope Pakistan clinch it easily!

Jab tak BUTT kutta zinda hai aisa na mumkin hai

 

[Khabri420]

Butt needs to be booted out. Way too many chances given

 

[pun500]

out!!

 

[Gollum]

Parchi player is gone....who knew!!!

 

[DonJee]

that must be the last innnings he plays in this tournament - FOR HIS OWN SAKE!!!!!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Yes!

Butt out. Now we can win.

 

[kablooee87]

There is no justification for Butt in the T20 team. None.

A liability in the field and he comes out....pokes at a couple of balls and that's the end of it.

 

[cricketcrazy]

here v go please send butt to lahore

 

[pun500]

missed a bloody straight ball...malik in

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Yes!

Butt out. Now we can win.

haaaaaaa )

 

[lalaji]

oh dear ......here we go again....i dont undetstand how he keep on getting selected to play

 

[UP]

This Butt guy needs to go now, enough of him replace him with Shahzad in next game.

 

[FM87]

it was well expected....

 

[waqar_ahmad]

excellent start by pakistan, butt gone

 

[Gollum]

Jab tak BUTT kutta zinda hai aisa na mumkin hai

Tone it down dude.

 

[dani2k]

From CricInfo

"One rejoinder before I leave. I said Aamer bowled at 97mph. That was a bad typo. It was actually 87mph. Thanks for pointing out everybody "..

So much for the fastest ball in the tournament so far..

 

[ali110]

BUTT out ....


Hahahahahah LOL
I am just happy for Butt and rest of the pakistan.

 

[invincible]

Good start for SL ... Akmal's the danger man though, need to get him early!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

another good ball by mathews

 

[lalaji]

here v go please send butt to lahore

nah send him to lalu khet...let him hang around those clean shave terriost of mqm

 

[invincible]

Good to see Malik bat up the order - he's my favorite Pak batsman ... very gritty and determined in his approach to the game of Cricket in general !

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

off the mark 1-1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I mean why we have the Butt guy in the team, he is really starting to freaak me out.

 

[frz]

perfect start for pakistan

 

[Serendipity]

y is it he still playing in thsi Team I do not know, he has got nothing to offer to the TEam in this format, nothing...............pla get him out and try any one else.

 

[Hasan]

Mathews to Salman Butt, OUT

Pakistan Zindabad!
