Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 2/1/14 | Day 3

[ChaudrySaab]

Whats wrong with the commentators?

A lot ... But Waqar is good

 

[Pakistani tigers]

great bowling from Junaid -all in the wrist

 

[uberkoen]

Listening to Waqar talking about the team in his era and the number of captains playing in a single team. Its astonishing.

 

[Haroon786]

Chisti is absolutely wonderful. He's without a doubt one of the best commentators from Pakistan.

I find his match commentary bland, but his insights and historical recollections are probably the best out of all commentators.

 

[Kiri]

He was in control of that shot. He looked to cut and it flew over backward point so it was intentional.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Edged!!!

 

[Nuekboi]

Junaid causing problems for Sanga

 

[uberkoen]

 

[ChaudrySaab]

He was in control of that shot. He looked to cut and it flew over backward point so it was intentional.

He did not want it to go over backward point so you can't say it was intentional.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Within 2 sessions, PAK has managed to lose the advantage.

 

[Haroon786]

He was in control of that shot. He looked to cut and it flew over backward point so it was intentional.

No he wasn't.

 

[uberkoen]

well left

 

[Kiri]

Need these two to bat on and on till the end.

 

[CrowingRooster]

61-1 after 21

 

[Kiri]

No he wasn't.

I need to check the replay. I said he was in control because of the way his bat moved. It was pointed towards point.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Need to get Sanga out quick

 

[Kiri]

Ramiz on we don't have a settled opening pair? Well Dilshan retired so we needed a change. Paranavitana dropped.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Attempts the yorker but S.L get 3

 

[Kiri]

When Chandimal opened, we did find success with him against you guys in 2012.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Silva is pretty organised in an unorganised way

 

[uberkoen]

Ramiz on we don't have a settled opening pair? Well Dilshan retired so we needed a change. Paranavitana dropped.

So, he's right?

 

[uberkoen]

Silva is pretty organised in an unorganised way

He keeps on delivering these gems!

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Within 2 sessions, PAK has managed to lose the advantage.

How? Game is in the balance!

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good ball

 

[Kiri]

Silva is pretty organised in an unorganised way

#VintageRaja

 

[CrowingRooster]

64-1 after 22

 

[Kiri]

So, he's right?

Technically yes, but these two are settled.

 

[Haroon786]

Another loose shot from Sanga.

 

[Haroon786]

I need to check the replay. I said he was in control because of the way his bat moved. It was pointed towards point.

Took the edge went over gully.

 

[Kiri]

Sanga needs to bat on. can't afford to waste his skills.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Bowling well, think I'll have my breakfast

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Sanga needs to bat on. can't afford to waste his skills.

Easier said than done buddy

 

[Blade-Runner]

Easier said than done buddy

Well, he has done it pretty easily against this opposition.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Expecting Lankans to fold before tea time tomorrow and Pak to be chasing around 130-140 losing 3-4 wickets

 

[uberkoen]

Ramiz trying to be funny.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good yorker

 

[uberkoen]

:mrpak:mrpak

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good bowling

 

[CrowingRooster]

68-1 after 25

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Well, he has done it pretty easily against this opposition.

Yes but there is always a start of a downfall against any opposition..and as a Pakistani I pray it starts from this match onwards.. conditions not the easiest to bat and an in form Junaid and Ajmal I hope we see the back of Sanga shortly. .

 

[CrowingRooster]

70-1 after 26

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hit hard to the fielder

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Need to get half the wickets before they complete the lead..Insha Allah

 

[Wattoo]

Ya ALLAH 3-4 wickets dey day Amin

 

[Haroon786]

Rameez is the worst commie on show.

 

[Haroon786]

Ya ALLAH 3-4 wickets dey day Amin

Inshallah.

 

[Blade-Runner]

Yes but there is always a start of a downfall against any opposition..and as a Pakistani I pray it starts from this match onwards.. conditions not the easiest to bat and an in form Junaid and Ajmal I hope we see the back of Sanga shortly. .

On the contrary, I'm expecting a double ton from him here.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Ya ALLAH 3-4 wickets dey day Amin

Sum Ameen..Insha Allah jeet hamari hogi

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good ball to end the over

 

[uberkoen]

Its tea time boys!

 

[uberkoen]

Good session for Sri Lanka this one.

 

[CrowingRooster]

71-1 after 27

 

[CrowingRooster]

Tea as well

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Another session lost by PAK

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

On the contrary, I'm expecting a double ton from him here.

I certainly hope he delivers for his fans but for myself and my fellow Pakistani supporters I pray he heads back to the pavilion very shortly and would love to see junaid uprooting his middle stump..

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Epic collapse coming up after tea Insha Allah..hopefully Our bowlers will come out all guns blazing

 

[Kiri]

SL need to bat on till Tea on Day 4. Should look to bat long and wear out the Pakistanis.

 

[Kiri]

The score and time of events are eerily representing the first innings.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Pakistan need to attack a bit more and make sure we are not chasing more than 140-150 in last innings. .

 

[liaqat]

Quick wickets needed now,
Pakistan didn't make the most of the situation, They should have batted out Srilaknka from the game but the left the door ajar,
But saying that 170+ lead is huge in most places

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

Really missing Irfan a lot on this pitch he surely would have troubled this top order

 

[MarkCooper]

I have a feeling Pakistan cannot chase 200 on this pitch. 150 might be hard.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Bowlers have been unlucky, Rahat beat Silva many times!

 

[Nuekboi]

Atleast keeping the run rate quiet, but we really need wickets

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Ya ALLAH 3-4 wickets dey day Amin

In Shaa Allah

 

[imshally81]

Wicket Coming Soon .....

 

[ChaudrySaab]

3 maidens

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

3 maidens in a row, smelling a wicket

 

[imshally81]

3 maidens in the row....

 

[uberkoen]

Ajmal needs to remove his glasses

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Ajmal ain't looking too threatning here

 

[Kiri]

Run drought broken. 75-1.

 

[uberkoen]

Ajmal ain't looking too threatning here

Its because of the glasses

 

[uberkoen]

Good shot.

:4

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Ajma trying to pull a swann with those glasses.

 

[uberkoen]

Soft hands

 

[Kiri]

Sanga starting to get into a groove.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Ok, we are leaking runs now . Should give a go to professor or maybe Younis for a couple of overs. Sanga is looking very threatening today

 

[ChaudrySaab]

This partnership is frustating!

 

[Kiri]

Barely noticed Bhatti playing in this match.
