Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 3/1/14 | Day 4

[Khabri420]

Sri Lanka lead by 7 with 6 wickets in hand, but Pakistan probably feel they are in with a chance and would like to bowl out Sri Lanka cheaply.

What sort of target should Pakistan expect to chase?

 

[talma]

poor chasers

anything over 120 runs lead and Pakistan may screw up...

 

[Asif321]

lets see how Asad shafiq does with gloves

 

[Justcrazy]

Matthews will be key

 

[Red Devil]

YK keeping lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad should be made to Keep here

 

[Red Devil]

Should be fun listening to YK behind the stumps

 

[coy0607]

younis is dropping straight forward wide deliveries... this can be a disaster

 

[Arsal_AK]

Why isn't adnan keeping???

 

[Kianig89]

Why isn't adnan keeping???

hurt his finger

 

[Kianig89]

i feel for gutsy Adnan

 

[imshally81]

Asad should keep....

 

[Premier Cricketer]

YK's comments are so funny.

"SAEED BHAI KHULEY HUYE HAIN"

 

[imshally81]

How is pitch ??
Any Cracks ??

 

[Kianig89]

How is pitch ??
Any Cracks ??

no big cracks some footmarks

 

[Kianig89]

Yk pretty sensible about DRS unlike some of other keepers

 

[Nuekboi]

Why is YK keeping?

 

[Kianig89]

Arnold getting too excited

 

[Kianig89]

sl 16/4

 

[Nuekboi]

WOW! these Geo Super ads are pathetic. They start the moment the last ball is bowled and stop AFTER the first ball of the next over is bowled

 

[Red Devil]

Good Bouncer

 

[battler]

Sl 24/4

 

[imranraf]

Pitch looks much easier to bat today. These two are not having much trouble at all. Chandimal is scoring run at good rate. It would be interesting to see if Saeed Ajmal gets some help today. There does not seem much cracks on the pitch though.

 

[Nuekboi]

Pitch is flat as hell D:

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal on

 

[Nuekboi]

I hope YK is able to read Ajmal

 

[imranraf]

210/4. Ajmal on. Let's hope, he gets some wickets. He might be required to get the rest of the wickets. Pitch seems to have flattened out a bit.

 

[Nuekboi]

Ajju getting some turn

 

[imranraf]

1 off the Ajmal over.

 

[Saurav]

lol Ajmal looks cool his new look

 

[imranraf]

Rahat Ali to bowl from the other end.

 

[Nuekboi]

Rahat not keeping things quiet

 

[imranraf]

5 off the Rahat over. 216/4.

 

[Nuekboi]

Love YK chirping in Urdu

 

[imranraf]

Pakistani batsmen should see how Chandimal is batting in this inning. He is looking to score runs and not just block like our batsmen did.

 

[imshally81]

Good Start by SL

 

[imranraf]

219/4.

 

[Square Drive]

I sense a wicket...

 

[imranraf]

Sri Lanka is doing quite nice so far this morning. We need wicket as soon as possible.

 

[Wattoo]

We need wicket as soon as possible.

 

[Nuekboi]

Chandimal really lucky throughout his innings

 

[imranraf]

Risky shot results in 4. Lead is already 44 in no time.

 

[imshally81]

Lead is 44*

 

[Wattoo]

catch tha yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[imranraf]

A very good ball from Rahat Ali. He has been unlucky to not get any wicket in this game.

 

[Nuekboi]

Rahat unluckiest bowler I've seen for a while

 

[imshally81]

Wicket Coming Soon .......

 

[Nuekboi]

A wicket before new ball would be wonderful

 

[Wattoo]

The three lowest targets SL have defended in Tests. All vs Pak. 168 Galle, 252 FSD, 294 Peshawar.

 

[Nuekboi]

Chandi trying to sweep. Ajmal should feel confident

 

[imranraf]

The three lowest targets SL have defended in Tests. All vs Pak. 168 Galle, 252 FSD, 294 Peshawar.

Being a Pakistani fan, I would be nervous even if we have to chase 150. Pakistani batting and chasing a total is like an adventure.

 

[Wattoo]

Waqar Just said Dropping Azhar for Hafeez fair call, hain jiiiiii

 

[imshally81]

Need YK to bowl here till the new ball ...

 

[Executioner]

I don't know how others see it, but one must admire how SL came back from a position where an innings defeat was looming abover their head to a position from which they can actually win a match!

 

[Sam18696]

wicket coming soon..

 

[Nuekboi]

Apparently the batsmen have neutralized Saeed Ajmal according to Mr Rameez

 

[Square Drive]

Any second...

 

[imranraf]

Easily Sri Lanka's morning so far.

 

[Asif321]

he is funny behind stumps

 

[Blade-Runner]

Chandimal 50... well played Chandi !!!!!!!!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

fifty for chandimal. we need a breakthrough.

 

[imranraf]

53 for Chandimal. A very positive inning from him so far. If he stays for sometime, he could easily take the game away from Pakistan with this positive and aggressive batting.

 

[saiyan0312]

by mathews. perhaps bhatti and junaid time.

 

[Blade-Runner]

6 !!!!!!!!!!

 

[imranraf]

Chakka from Mathews off Ajmal. Too easy for SL so far.

 

[Nuekboi]

Still will Pakistan be able to chase 150+ considering our pathetic chasing form?

 

[Xoib]

Still will Pakistan be able to chase 150+ considering our pathetic chasing form?

we are chasing 200+ mate.

 

[Nuekboi]

Although Pakistan haven't picked up early wickets with new ball so far. Thats what Im worried about

 

[saiyan0312]

second new ball available in two balls.

 

[Nuekboi]

new ball is on

 

[battler]

Sl 70/4.
New ball is available.

 

[pakistani pride]

I don't know how others see it, but one must admire how SL came back from a position where an innings defeat was looming abover their head to a position from which they can actually win a match!

This deck is as flat as they come. Nothing in it for a bowler. Just check the history here. Should even chase 350 here.

 

[saiyan0312]

lead 70... we cant let them get 80 more runs.

 

[Xoib]

we are in a spot of bother.

 

[Nuekboi]

This deck is as flat as they come. Nothing in it for a bowler. Just check the history here. Should even chase 350 here.

Is Adnan Akmal gonna be able to bat? I hope not

 

[Nuekboi]

new ball could decide the game

 

[saiyan0312]

bhatti on old ball play.

 

[imranraf]

This game might turn out like the other game in the same location between Pakistan vs Sri Lanka where Sri Lanka managed to draw the game after conceding a big first inning lead. Let's hope, I am wrong. But, this partnership is looking very dangerous for us. Let's hope, the new bakk does the trick for us. Pitch is looking flat as hell. Also, Ajmal has been anything but menacing on this track.

 

[Nuekboi]

I think they might try out a couple more overs with the old balls and then go for the new cherry

 

[battler]

New ball not taken.
