:4

 

[imshally81]

Need Afridi in Test

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Bradman of the mark with a streaky boundary.

 

[imshally81]

Why Ajmal is hiding.. ???

 

[CrowingRooster]

Doesn't carry

 

[Real Fan]

Lol why are they showing the catch so much?

It was easy, Shehzad takes those in his sleep

 

[Boi]

Good pace and lines from Rahat.

 

[Obeid]

Was a dolly, lol at the karachiwalas here calling it a great catch.
Anything to glorify their hero

you're joking right? Yes its a regulation catch, but it is a difficult catch because the batsman hit it with a decent amount of power.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good over

 

[mon858]

rahat has great line, just needs to pitch it up a few inches so they dont keep leaving on height. he needs to be a little fuller to target top of off stump.

 

[Pakprideuk]

Very good over from Rahat, exactly the type you need after a wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat has been disappointing so far

 

[IAJ]

Should Pakistan have gone in for Abdur Rehman instead of BB?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara is a against Pakistan

 

[Kianig89]

rahat in

 

[CrowingRooster]

Pinch a quick one

 

[Real Fan]

It was a dolly, support the country not the cities

 

[Justcrazy]

Look you need to bring in youngsters , otherwise you will never know who can be International standard. You have to take chances.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would love another here

 

[CrowingRooster]

Akmal's voice is too much...

 

[Nuekboi]

Why are we playing only one frontline spinner?

 

[CrowingRooster]

63-1 after 22

 

[Boi]

Why are we playing only one frontline spinner?

Because we're playing Sri Lanka not England.

 

[Justcrazy]

Talha could have made a difference here.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

If we can get Sanga here that would be great.

 

[Bilal7]

So many edges not carrying.

 

[Kianig89]

rahat continues

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat continues

 

[Bilal7]

It was a dolly, support the country not the cities

Reaction time was 0.48 seconds. I bet it takes you longer to type "dolly"than it took Shafiq to pull off that stunner.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Great line there.

 

[Justcrazy]

Silva looking solid here

 

[CrowingRooster]

Azhar dropped

Same thing I'm thinking...

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Rahat unlucky so far, many play and misses.

 

[Obeid]

It was a dolly, support the country not the cities

It's people like you that make me embarrassed to be Pakistani.

It was a good catch. Get over it.

Reaction time of less than 0.48 seconds.

Human eye to react to ANYTHING you have to see it for 0.25 seconds.

 

[Kianig89]

is speed gun there i'm following scores in office

 

[CrowingRooster]

63-1 after 23

 

[Nuekboi]

THEY CAN'T LEAVE FOREVER. Keep bowling maidens boys

 

[Kianig89]

Kaushal is another tuk tuk

 

[Kianig89]

they are prolly playing for lunch

 

[Justcrazy]

kish: "Sangakkara's average goes past 57. What a player. Highest among the 10,000+ club"

 

[Bilal7]

Time to get some sleep. The Lankans will be bowled out when I wake up, InshAllah.

 

[whatthewhat]

Many might disagree with me here but Junaid has all the makings of an epic Pakistani fast bowler and can be in the top 3 pacers in the world for many many years, he just needs a good bowling coach, M. Akram might be working very hard with the bowlers but he just isn't that good.

I would love to see Waqar coach Junaid but for some reason he doesnt seem to rate Junaid highly. Wasim would never coach Pakistan and the farther Shoaib says from the team the better.

If only M Asif was a decent guy he could've been a great coach after retiring.

 

[Justcrazy]

63 / 1 after 24 overs

 

[CrowingRooster]

Maiden

 

[CrowingRooster]

Whoooooa! Akmal seems pumped/crazy with his screaming!

 

[Kianig89]

good pressure

 

[Justcrazy]

Silva looks impressive

 

[CrowingRooster]

Gonna bave 1 more

 

[Justcrazy]

Last over before lunch

 

[Real Fan]

Akmal is the sole reason for the team being charged up, he is a livewire.

 

[OZGOD]

Need to get Sangakkara soon or he and Jayawardene will put on 1000 on this wicket

 

[CrowingRooster]

Get 3

 

[Justcrazy]

3 more runs ....

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka would be delighted with this here, after loosing the toss , they would have batted also .

 

[saiyan0312]

So shezad,hafeez and bhatti in. Well hopefully they will work out. feel sorry for masood.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Get's behind it

 

[CrowingRooster]

66-1 at Lunch

 

[Nuekboi]

Slow session 1 wicket and 66 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

66 / 1

Lunch

 

[saiyan0312]

well thats lunch... we getter get sanga soon otherwise its a big draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Slow session 1 wicket and 66 runs

Lanka would not mind slow rate here, they will like to bat at least till Tea tomorrow , and apply pressure on Pakistan.

 

[Kianig89]

lunch sl session

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good session for SL, decent one for us.

 

[Obeid]

Is embarrassing to Asad Shafiq on the field, he is so short.

Needs to be replaced by Nasir Jamshed asap

I can't believe people like you exist

 

[Saeed]

Is embarrassing to Asad Shafiq on the field, he is so short.

Needs to be replaced by Nasir Jamshed asap

Just because he is short he shouldn't play?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Is embarrassing to Asad Shafiq on the field, he is so short.

Needs to be replaced by Nasir Jamshed asap

Team should be filled with 11 clones of Mohammad Irfan if height matters so much in cricket

 

[Sunny786]

Is embarrassing to Asad Shafiq on the field, he is so short.

Needs to be replaced by Nasir Jamshed asap

 

[DrSchultz]

Obvious troll

 

[saeedhk]

Did not know there was a match today,went to Cricinfo and got a surprise.Hafeez and Bhatti included while Shan and Ali dropped, pathetic and disgusting.

 

[CrowingRooster]

@Real Fan. Making some pretty stupid comments. Don't act like a "real" fan.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Can't play cricket because your short

 

[imshally81]

Lol people with short man syndrome attacking me.
Asad does not have the height to play international cricket(he is shorter than even Tendu). Thats a fact

Oh Really ???
so what about Lara & Tendulker ???

 

[ChaudrySaab]

1330 @ 39.11 with 4 centuries and 8 half centuries in 37 innings ... Yeah these stats reek of a short man who can't play intl cricket.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Did not know there was a match today,went to Cricinfo and got a surprise.Hafeez and Bhatti included while Shan and Ali dropped, pathetic and disgusting.

Ahmed Shezad better player than Shan. Hafeez gives a bowling option and on current form is better than Ali.

 

[Nuekboi]

Real Fan guy is clearly a troll

 

[imshally81]

Real Fan guy is clearly a troll

agreed

Peter Russell Disguised

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will have to bowl with a plan here

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhatti given the go after lunch.

 

[Nuekboi]

Yes! Breakthrough right after lunch
