Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 31/12/13 | Day 1

[Ibad17]

it will be interesting how Rahat Ali perform on this pitch..

 

[IAJ]

Oh I hate boundaries down to third man region, so many edges have gone there, just place the useless fielder Rahat down there.

These runs are very important.

 

[mosh101]

Refuses the single

 

[Batman]

Rahat into the attack.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Rahat is a rubbish fielder.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Gone for 4

 

[Batman]

Go for big one, 2 taken.

 

[mosh101]

Mathews in T20 mode

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Matthews wants to smash everything.

 

[Batman]

Last ball of the over, Mathews look for single now!

 

[Wattoo]

Skipper Misbah brilliantly reads pitch than any other expert in cricket world. Today also proved himself right in decision making.

 

[mosh101]

Dont drag this one ! Knock em out already

 

[Batman]

Single to end the over!

 

[Batman]

8/144.

 

[Saeed]

Don't let the tail wag.

 

[mosh101]

Run out appeal

 

[CrowingRooster]

Could be out

 

[Boi]

Good throw but Mathews makes it

 

[mosh101]

Just made it

Superb running !

 

[CrowingRooster]

He's in

 

[Nuekboi]

Lol I love Ajmal's analysis

 

[Wattoo]

ian bishop ‏@irbishi 12m

Just got to love the skill, verve and energy of Junaid Khan. Another 5 fer vs Sri Lanka. They must have nightmares about facing him.

 

[Saeed]

Whats up with Ajmal's hairstyle?

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Great running there!.

 

[mosh101]

Freebie from ajmal and four

 

[Batman]

:4 by Mathews

8/150.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Juni need's 3 wicket's to achieve 50 test wicket's.

 

[mosh101]

150 up

 

[Batman]

Single takes him to 49.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Need to keep Mathews quiet to get him out.

 

[Batman]

8/151.

 

[Obeid]

Why is the third umpire S Ravi, but Richard Illingworth is sitting in a van outside of the stadium?!

ICC =/

 

[Wattoo]

200 kr gya Lanka to wakht pr jana hai

 

[CrowingRooster]

151-8

 

[Nuekboi]

Sadly no 150 all out due to Matthews

 

[mosh101]

Why do we struggle to wrap things up? So frustrating !

 

[Saeed]

2nd highest partnership, this is really bad.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Mathews on 49*

 

[CrowingRooster]

Gets his 50

 

[ChaudrySaab]

We need wrap this up.

 

[mosh101]

2 balls to bowl at the tailender

 

[Batman]

50 for Mathews.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Well played Mathews now get out

 

[mosh101]

Positive batting from captain mathews

 

[Blade-Runner]

Well done Mathews. 50 !!!!!!

 

[Kiri]

Aweful batting. Poor shot selections.

 

[mosh101]

Cant get the tailender

 

[Ibad17]

Angelo played a good knock under pressure..

 

[CrowingRooster]

Gets 4

 

[Saeed]

Score is 150+ now, no way Pakistan will achieve that on this minefield.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

come on Ajmal stop bowling like an Indian

 

[Boi]

Letting it slip here. Ajmal reverting to his negative line straight after being hit for a boundary.

 

[leatherface58]

Eranga has a 1st class hundred and he is at 10 batting below the likes of Herath and Senanayake?

 

[Blade-Runner]

Aweful batting. Poor shot selections.

Tell me about it. Sanga, Chandi and Prasanna threw their wkts away for nothing.

 

[Batman]

8/158.

 

[Saeed]

Rahat is running like he is on ice field.

 

[Kiri]

Target is 200. We need to achieve our max runs possible with only two wickets left. If we set targets, there's less pressure.

 

[Nuekboi]

Gah this partnership is getting annoying

 

[Saeed]

Target is 200. We need to achieve our max runs possible with only two wickets left. If we set targets, there's less pressure.

You guys have already scored enough.

 

[Energetic]

Poor crowd. But I can understand since Sri Lanka are minnow.

 

[Batman]

Partnership is 38 now.

 

[Batman]

8/162.

 

[Saeed]

Bring back JK and BB.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Frustating this partnership need to break it.

 

[Energetic]

I'm surprised its a 3 match series considering Lanka are not willing to plays tests.

 

[Nuekboi]

Come on Ajju 2 ball to get Eranga out

 

[Batman]

:4

8/167.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Tea on Day 1

 

[Batman]

8/167.

Tea - Day 1.

 

[Nuekboi]

Bring back JK to clean things up

 

[Batman]

Mathews not out on 57.

 

[CrowingRooster]

167-8 after 49

 

[Batman]

Junaid 5/51.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor stuff from rahat
No real threat.

 

[Batman]

3 wickets for Bhatti on his debut.

 

[Batman]

Not good going for Rahat and Ajmal wicketless.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

rahat sucks. replace him with Talha for next test.

 

[Wattoo]

I'm surprised its a 3 match series considering Lanka are not willing to plays tests.[/QUOTE]

Why? I did not read anything about it.

 

[90MPH]

Never rated Rahat. He relies on swing - if it's not there he looks like an Indian bowler devoid of ideas.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez alone will score 200.. srilanka looking at innings defeat.
