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

[saiyan0312]

new ball is taken and perhaps we can get some wickets.

 

[Nuekboi]

Beauty first up with the new ball

 

[vandokkum]

If younis fails then i don't see Pakistan chasing over 200...

 

[saiyan0312]

come on guys lets get wickets.

 

[saiyan0312]

juni on... come on boy.

 

[Blade-Runner]

New ball in play

 

[saiyan0312]

Pitched outside leg i think and high. is a better review taker then adnan,.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Junaid same ball outside off pls

 

[saiyan0312]

butjuni is betting some inswing with the new ball.

 

[Blade-Runner]

Junaid will never get a lbw around the wicket. The ball is always pitching outside the leg.

 

[saiyan0312]

come on guys. strike with the new cherry.

 

[Eht]

Misbah should get a short leg for Junaid

 

[amjad145]

Need Mathews asap

 

[Xoib]

we are so chasing 220+.

 

[amjad145]

Pitched outside leg i think and high. is a better review taker then adnan,.

Adnan is just plain awful

 

[saiyan0312]

nice shape.

 

[Red Devil]

C'mon yaar

 

[Wattoo]

Waqt ki yeh majboori hai. Wicket baree zaroori hai.

 

[Red Devil]

Short

 

[saiyan0312]

fell short.man we need them to get to fielders.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka fighting hard here

 

[imranraf]

Nothing is working for Pakistan so far.

 

[imshally81]

79 Runs lead !!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

will this be a draw?

 

[imshally81]

Pak can chase 200-250 here....

 

[Justcrazy]

Suppose Lanka take a lead of 200 plus , can it be a draw.

 

[Sunny786]

I like how is saying "wait karo wait karo, abhi edge milega lage raho shabash yehi jaga"

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka should be able to add another 60 - 75 runs here

 

[Xoib]

lady luck has favored SL though they have batted well too.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan must get in next game.

 

[Sunny786]

I sense a wicket coming soon

 

[Justcrazy]

72 runs partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

Chandimal showing he belongs to this level.

 

[Sunny786]

Waqar wants stats on how Russel did against him

 

[Justcrazy]

One wicket before lunch might be the tonic Pakistan need

 

[imshally81]

Last batting Pair@ Crease

 

[Sunny786]

Did I just see Junaid swinging into the right hander in the highlights of the period since the new ball?

 

[Justcrazy]

will be a worried man , he would have expected at least two before lunch

 

[Savak]

Junaid seriously needs to work on his pace as the match drags on. Not the first time I have seen him averaging 127-130 km/hr in his later spells

 

[Justcrazy]

Nothing working

 

[Blade-Runner]

Last batting Pair@ Crease

Not really. Prasanna Jayawardene NEXT !!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

Bhatti bowls too many 4 bowls.

 

[Justcrazy]

lanak still have batting left

 

[imshally81]

Bring Rahat back...
bhatti is useless

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will be tested , chasing a total.

 

[imshally81]

Not really. Prasanna Jayawardene NEXT !!!!

at lease someone remember him

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Can't say they been bowling bad, Chandimal and Mathews have played really well.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Misbah should try Rahat in place of Bhatti

 

[Nuekboi]

Easy singles because of defensive field

 

[Blade-Runner]

at lease someone remember him

Well, he was a good bat. But Sanga's rocket-fueled arrival cost him his place in the team.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 90 runs now

 

[Nuekboi]

Again we could be chasing huge target and Herath could cause us a lot of problems in 5th day

 

[saiyan0312]

this is turning into a dangerous stand.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Need to stop them under 200

 

[imshally81]

Rahat on

 

[Executioner]

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

Well with Pakistan a flat track is never a flat track.

Pakistan failed to cross even 400 on this flat track and against probably the 2nd worst bowling attack in tests. Lankan bats need some due credit

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat back into attack

 

[Sunny786]

Rahat has really been unlucky Another beauty missing the edge

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Along with some good batting from lankans, they have been extremely lucky.

 

[imshally81]

Take Review man....

 

[Executioner]

Good to see Srilankan young bats doing very well in this series so far

 

[ChaudrySaab]

How many times have we beat the edge

 

[Sam18696]

luck not on Pak's side.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka cannot be stopped before a lead of 150 plus here ,

 

[Khaseer]

These commentators are cracking me up lol.

 

[liaqat]

This game is slowly drifting away from Pakistan,

 

[Justcrazy]

shekhar: "Mathews is becoming next VVS Laxman of World Cricket. Average when top order doing good, but at its best when top order fails and team is in trouble."

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Maiden

 

[Saurav]

shekhar: "Mathews is becoming next VVS Laxman of World Cricket. Average when top order doing good, but at its best when top order fails and team is in trouble."

at this stage,no.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Too many easy singles on offer

 

[Kiri]

Mathews unfortunate not to have reached a ton in 1st innings.

 

[Savak]

Junaids lack of speed and venom has reduced his effectiveness. He has to seriously work on this, not the first time I have seen him struggle as the game drags on.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid looking easy to play

 

[ChaudrySaab]

We need to stop bowling short

 

[saiyan0312]

careful batting. lunch will be on soon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 91 runs

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Misbah should try a part-timer see if we can break their concentration

 

[Justcrazy]

I sense a collappse after lunch

 

[HASHAM2]

Me back Now Pakistan will Take Few Wicket,s

Come on Boys

 

[Blade-Runner]

shekhar: "Mathews is becoming next VVS Laxman of World Cricket. Average when top order doing good, but at its best when top order fails and team is in trouble."

We don't want him to be the next VVS. We want him to be Angelo Mathews the exuberant batsman.
