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

[Justcrazy]

is this Last over before lunch ?

 

[imshally81]

ho jahoooo bhai .. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Kiri]

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

Well, Mathews is the next Mathews.

 

[hur rizvi]

Srilanka would be favourites if they set 200+ target

 

[Sam18696]

Give Asad the gloves and let yk bowl a few overs.

ajmal on

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal is on.

 

[Nuekboi]

SL will win if we don't pick up wicket before lunch

 

[imshally81]

Ajmal on...

 

[Justcrazy]

If Lanka win this , this will be epic .

 

[ChaudrySaab]

If we get a wicket here they will collapse

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Ajmal needs to step up

 

[Sam18696]

lol at Ramiz about Ajmal

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to attack with short balls in rib cage with leg gully

 

[Blade-Runner]

Ajmal's dismissal ) He just sat down in front of the stumps )

 

[Sam18696]

Magician written on Ajmal's bat

 

[Kiri]

Ramiz, we need this guy for every Pak series.

 

[imshally81]

lol at Ramiz about Ajmal

What he is saying ??

 

[zabalestmsm]

Rahat is bowling tight but unfortunately havent been rewarded yet.

 

[Kiri]

The problem with Rahat Ali. He bowls consistently outside off stump. He needs to bowl much title and pitch it on the stumps because he's a left hander and has to use the angle. He's Pakistan's equivalent of Chanaka Welegedera.

 

[Justcrazy]

The main problem is Pakistan spinners have been ineffective

 

[zabalestmsm]

Give some overs to those who dont even bowl. U never know a wicket can come.

 

[HASHAM2]

i had Feeling
Pakistan is Going to chase target of 200

I Had same Feeling Yesterday

 

[Saurav]

50 for Mathews

 

[Sam18696]

50 for Matthews......and Ajmal

 

[zabalestmsm]

Rehman is missed here. He has a good record in UAE.

 

[Blade-Runner]

Well done skippy !!!! Mathews 50.

 

[Justcrazy]

Matthews gets another 50 here

 

[Kiri]

Why does Ramiz think a typical Mathew's knock is a run a ball 50? LOL. Go look at Mathew's Test SR and ODI SR. I think he has a little more common sense than to play aggressively in Test Matches coming in at 5.

 

[Sam18696]

unlucky rahat on

 

[Kiri]

Chandi's average gone up to 58

 

[Justcrazy]

Lunch closing up , Pakistan had a bad session so far

 

[Justcrazy]

Very Likely Rahat playing his last Test

 

[Sam18696]

.....
...
... JUST KIDDING

 

[Justcrazy]

Shamalka: "Who said SL Cricket doesn't have a future after the Big 3?"

 

[ChaudrySaab]

The pitch is flat absoultly nothing in it

 

[talma]

Jog our memory

All goes back to play at the end of the third day when Younus fell and Misbah and Shafiq went into their tuk tuk mode. From a winning position where they could have had a lead in excess of 250, they are now facing a possible loss or draw...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Dropped?

 

[Executioner]

i had Feeling
Pakistan is Going to chase target of 200

I Had same Feeling Yesterday

Just 200?

I'd reckon Lanka will give a target of something around 275

 

[Sam18696]

DID NOT CARRY AGAIN

Pak very unlucky today.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Lead is 99

 

[imshally81]

.....
...
... JUST KIDDING

hahahahahhahaha

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Short again!!

 

[Blade-Runner]

The pitch is flat absoultly nothing in it

Its been the story of this test from the beginning.

 

[Boi]

If it's not carrying then surely the slips are standing too far back? Use your common sense and move forward ffs.

 

[Justcrazy]

.....
...
... JUST KIDDING

Please do not post these kind of stuff on match threads , people who read these threads will not find it amusing

 

[Executioner]

The ball dropped short, but I think he could have dived in front atleast.

 

[liaqat]

Trouble is brewing,,

 

[Kiri]

Shamalka: "Who said SL Cricket doesn't have a future after the Big 3?"

 

[ChaudrySaab]

No luck for us !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 100

 

[Blade-Runner]

Damn... Younis Khan is keeping wickets I just noticed

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Unlucky

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Its been the story of this test from the beginning.

There was movement day 1 and subtle spin on day 3

 

[Sam18696]

Edged again aaaaaaannnnnnnddddd

 

[Sam18696]

lunch

 

[Blade-Runner]

Great session for Sri Lanka .

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Another edge FFS!!!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

I would be surprised if Rahat is again picked up .

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 106 runs with 6 wickets remaining

 

[bluffmasterv2]

I hate this pitch so much. Just seen it over the years and it just keeps on getting flat as the time goes on.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Track is a phatta.
Should be able to chase anything providing an ample amount of time and of course no typical Pakistani collapse

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good session for SL, unlucky for us!

 

[Kiri]

SL will need to bat on till End of today to get 250+ lead. Pitch is playing good so we will need to give Pakistan less time as possible.

 

[Sunny786]

Next session is key. If Pakistan can make a few breakthroughs, then we have a chance to win the test.

 

[Kiri]

Next session is key. If Pakistan can make a few breakthroughs, then we have a chance to win the test.

if Pakistan can make a few breakthroughs, then game over LOL. Only batsman left is Prasanna Jayawardene.

 

[Nuekboi]

How will pitch be playing on DAY 5? That will be key for Pakistan

 

[Nuekboi]

I hope luck favours Pakistan next session

 

[Kiri]

How will pitch be playing on DAY 5? That will be key for Pakistan

I hope luck favours Pakistan next session

Pitch is flat now. Going by trend, the pitch will either be a highway or have just a hit of turn. It's playing well because of the hot weather.

 

[Nuekboi]

Was extended session due to Jumay ki namaz?

 

[Nuekboi]

When are we getting started again?

 

[Kiri]

Lunch is hour long.

 

[the Great Khan]

Long way to go yet. Pitch looks flat. Lankan have to continue to ensure safety. Pak have to get some quick breakthroughs..on this pitch wickets come in clusters so we still have a chance. Well fought lanka though.

 

[arehaan]

This is such bad advertisement for test cricket stopped following the game as the wicket is such a pan cake with nothing in it for the bowlers. A day 4 wicket needs to do something as this is ridiculous.

Pakistan should definitely look for some alternate venues now as these type of wickets are no good for bowlers

 

[HASHAM2]

Back after Jumma ki Namaz

Due ki hai For Pakistan Win

 

[Kiri]

It's true that Pak only need 1 wicket. Only one more batsman in PJ left.

 

[Nuekboi]

Need a couple of breakthroughs to make a comfortable buffer

 

[Nuekboi]

I really hope Rahat picks up a few wickets this session. Poor guy really deserves credit for his bowling

Lead is nelson

 

[Xoib]

It's true that Pak only need 1 wicket. Only one more batsman in PJ left.

you guys don't have a dud tail unlike us.

 

[hur rizvi]

MAtch tilting towards lanka with every passing over

 

[ChaudrySaab]

1 wicket and we can run through the rest!
