Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 4/1/14 | Day 5

[Khabri420]

Sri Lanka finished Day 4 at 420/5 courtesy of Mathews century.

With a lead of 241, how much longer will they bat before they have a go at the Pakistani batsmen?

 

[Savak]

Pakistan pundits are seriously disgraceful. Why does geo super hire ex players, domestic players who know nothing about the game.

This ex domestic player mujahid jamshed kept going on and on in how bhatti will be useless in the long run as his action will not be suitable for reverse swing and that he will be useful without his pace.

It took Waqar 2 seconds to dismiss this crap remark and said that bhatti can easily learn reverse swing and that he has been a find for Pakistan in this series.

Watch PTV m.Wasim and Bazid are doing very good analysis honestly

 

[Kianig89]

Wasim even said Ajmal's deliveries are not breaking albeit a couple of them may be his elbow is stiff

 

[Savak]

Ramiz and Waqar feel Ajmal needs to cut down on playing T20 leagues. I don't agree, he has every right to maximize his earning potential especially since he started his career late.

Ya but i think he should be rotated in Odi's with

 

[Kianig89]

Sl will look to bat for 10 overs and add 50 more runs

 

[Justcrazy]

A draw written all over

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan will lose this match for sure

 

[Kianig89]

 

[Kianig89]

[Kianig89]

matthews approach will be interesting

 

[Kianig89]

1st run of the day

 

[Nuekboi]

Mathews you coward. Trying to secure a draw

 

[Usman]

Jayawardene has his 50. Poor third umpiring allowed him to do. He should have been out in the 108th over. It's potentially cost Pakistan the game.

 

[Nuekboi]

No luck as usual

What happened?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 247 runs with 5 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka batted brilliantly, they deserve a draw here

 

[Nuekboi]

Apparently Jayawardene should have been out. What happened I wasn't watching yesterday?

 

[Justcrazy]

428 / 5

 

[Nuekboi]

Bhatti bowling poorly. We need someone a bit more economical

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[battler]

Lead 253 runs here.

 

[hur rizvi]

SL arent looking for a result, only Pakistan collapse can hand them a win here

 

[Nuekboi]

Where is de explosive bayting?

 

[hur rizvi]

As a neutral this is pathetic stuff from lankans they are leading by 250+ and still playing -ve cricket

 

[Kianig89]

so far RR in check for the day

 

[Nuekboi]

no win no fee ka matlab ye nahi ke apko charge nahi karingay

 

[Kianig89]

Ajmal not bowling is he 100%

 

[hur rizvi]

Poor bowling by Bhatti

 

[Nuekboi]

Bhatti still bowling poorly

 

[Justcrazy]

Bhatti gives away too many runs.

 

[Nuekboi]

No luck again

 

[hur rizvi]

Arnold thinks Lanka will declare soon, a big LOL at him

 

[Kianig89]

Al Capitaino woken up

 

[Justcrazy]

Next game , and would be in

 

[Justcrazy]

even if lanka declare , Pakistan will play for Draw.

 

[Nuekboi]

Hahahaha Mathews the coward

 

[Kianig89]

[Justcrazy]

A draw is like a win for Lanka , epic batting by Matthews

 

[Justcrazy]

must be looking for a 10 fer here

 

[hur rizvi]

Next game , and would be in

may be , but should not be in, lanka play spin well even in this match 13/15 wickets have gone to pacers

 

[Nuekboi]

I do hope Misbah goes for the win

 

[Kianig89]

does not matter how much SL scores its all about Pak implodes or not

 

[Nuekboi]

Why is this commentary so goddamn bad. ALL OF THEM

 

[hur rizvi]

I do hope Misbah goes for the win

I can bet my house that he wont go for win

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to think about there bowling for next Test

 

[Justcrazy]

would be more effective than against lanka

 

[Nuekboi]

Has this Prasanna guy ever made more than 2 runs outside Asia?

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan need to think about there bowling for next Test

The only change that Pakistan should or can opt for is Talha in place of Rahat, rest of the bowling hasnt been that bad, and you obviously cant drop Ajmal for one bad game

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka should declare here , they will not loose.

 

[IAJ]

Crazy stuff by Younis not wearing helmet standing up to the stumps when Ajmal is bowling.

One thing is to be brave, but you dont wana be stupid either.

Its not about dropping , but playing a team according to opponents.

 

[Nuekboi]

OMG shut the hell up Waqar

 

[hur rizvi]

79 overs left in the day

If lanka look for 300, that means Pak. would get to bat 68-69 overs that is if lanka declare

 

[Justcrazy]

should be rested .

 

[Nuekboi]

STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THE BLOODY TEAM! can we please have the same team for one series atleast so much shuffling everywhere

 

[IAJ]

OMG shut the hell up Waqar

What did he say?

 

[Nuekboi]

Fielders are asleep

 

[Justcrazy]

The highest successful run chase for Pakistan is in Karachi against Australia in 1994, chasing 314

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowling is overrated in test matches. In shorter formats they are good though

 

[Nuekboi]

What did he say?

Waqar has got defeatist mentality already. Quite appalling


Anyway why is our batting such a failure apart from two old men. And Shafiq who only scored when it mattered once

 

[leatherface58]

Has this Prasanna guy ever made more than 2 runs outside Asia?

Man of the series in England. #NotMakingThisUp

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar talking about Karachi 94

 

[Nuekboi]

Pakistan bowling is overrated in test matches. In shorter formats they are good though

Pitch is just hilariously flat. We should have batted a lot better

 

[battler]

80 overs left in the day.
Sl should declare now,if they are to entertain any thoughts of a win.

 

[Nuekboi]

Someone ring me up when this tallu Mathews finally declares

 

[Kianig89]

a Stern test awaits Hafeez etal (2014)

 

[Kianig89]

unlucky Rahat in

 

[Kianig89]

Stop it

 

[Kianig89]

we knew healy missed it

 

[Justcrazy]

Now Lanka are been defensive here , they should have declared and got few wickets at least , to give confidence to there bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Lol @ Ranjit

 

[Kianig89]

Lead 277

 

[Kianig89]

SL win Prb. 20%

Pak win Prb. 5%

[Kianig89]

[Kianig89]

[Justcrazy]

Uwaisul Karnain: "Couldn't agree more with Waqar Yonus (on mike) who thinks chasing this target is already beyond Pakistan's interest as the RRR is already above 3.6"
