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

[Arsal_AK]

What the hell is Shehzad doing.Absolutely disgusting.He is not even trying.

 

[battler]

Shehzad looking to remain not-out and boost his average.

 

[Batman]

Tuk tuk on here.

 

[majiz]

Pitch looks flat as hell tbf

 

[the Great Khan]

Ive got to say ahmad does come across as a bit selfish.

 

[qamar84]

look like pak is going for a draw

 

[Batman]

PAK | 1/94 | Need 208 runs to win in 37.

 

[Nuekboi]

Forget about winning with the way Shehzad is playing

 

[razabbas]

Only hafeez is the hope here

 

[Nuekboi]

I hope Shehzad gets out soon and YK can play some shots

 

[Batman]

PAK | 1/94 | Need 208 runs to win in 36.

 

[Batman]

Batting practise for Pakistan here.

 

[Batman]

1 to Hafeez.

 

[battler]

Shehzad has played out to maidens in a row.
I guess captains should shake hands now.

 

[Batman]

207 more to runs to win.

 

[Nuekboi]

Need more of this

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Ive got to say ahmad does come across as a bit selfish.

The guy is playing his FIRST test match. The way Pakistani selection works he is not even sure how much he is tried in the future. Please give the debutant a break. Calling some one selfish is a bit presumptious. Going at 5 rpo in a test match is unheard of.

 

[qamar84]

finally a from shezad

 

[imshally81]

:44444

 

[Batman]

[razabbas]

I hope Shehzad gets out soon and YK can play some shots

[Batman]

100 up for Pakistan.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 1/103 | Need 199 runs to win in 35.

 

[razabbas]

199 from 210 balls

 

[Batman]

10 mints to go before Tea.

 

[Nuekboi]

Herath bowled a couple of garbage balls that deserved to go to the fence but Shehzad was too scared for his average

 

[Batman]

Single to Shehzad this time.

 

[majiz]

pitch looking like Faisalabad

 

[mussu-100]

Shahzad is really killing the game here :/

 

[razabbas]

for the first time im liking hafeez

 

[Nuekboi]

You can certainly see Hafeez batting with some sort of intent

 

[Batman]

Going down the track for Hafeez on maneges to go mid-on.

 

[Nuekboi]

No helmet for Shehzad. Stuff about to happen here

 

[uberkoen]

Pakistan can actually win this if they wanted to. 197 runs in 34 overs. That's a required rate of 5.7 per over. I doubt they'll go for it though.

 

[razabbas]

Please ahmed bhai thoda taiz khel la

 

[Batman]

:4

1/109.

 

[qamar84]

beauty drive for by shezad

 

[Batman]

Shehzad on 47 now!

 

[razabbas]

Atleast they can try but just look at shehzad

 

[Nuekboi]

Pakistan should try to pick an over where they really try to smack Senanayake all around the park

 

[Batman]

PAK | 1/110 | Need 192 off 33.

 

[Nuekboi]

111-1

 

[imshally81]

[Batman]

Shout for appeal for catch.

 

[razabbas]

Review :-SS

 

[Batman]

And they rewiewing it.

 

[Batman]

Can't really say its out or not.

 

[razabbas]

Not out

 

[imshally81]

Wasted

 

[Batman]

So Not out is it.

 

[Nuekboi]

Phew, scared that Indian umpire would screw us over again

 

[Batman]

Wasted review by SL.

 

[Haroon786]

This is still possible.

 

[Mamoon]

Selfish innings by Shehzad.

 

[Nuekboi]

YEHA Shehzad! Need more stuff like that

 

[qamar84]

beauty cut and and 50up for shezad

 

[razabbas]

seems that Ahmed is trying now

 

[Obeid]

184 in 32 overs.... It *can* be done.

 

[imshally81]

T

 

[Batman]

50 for Shehzad! Well played!

 

[razabbas]

It can be done still Hafeez and shehzad both are in form and both are capable of playing big shots

 

[Batman]

PAK | 1/118 | Need 184 off 32.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

No need to go crazy yet If Pakistan manage to make the next 100 in good time, they can consider putting pressure on SLA.

 

[Batman]

Tea - Day 5.

 

[Batman]

Hafeez on 56 and Shehzad on 53.

 

[criclover510]

If Pak U19 chase down 315 in 50 overs and Pakistan do not chase down 302 in 67overs here....would you think the U19 batting is better?

This guy have a sense to see difference between test matches and OD?

 

[battler]

Look pak need 184 in 32 overs,they should play normally for the next 12 overs,by normally i mean going at 4 rpo,so they would get around 50 in the next 12 overs.
Then they would have around 135 to get in 20 overs,and with wickets remaining in hand,it should not be too difficult.

 

[LegendAli]

Going to bed, we better win the game by the time I wake up or it will be a major disappointment, goodnight folks.

lets be honest. IF pakistan want they can turn this innings into an odi innings. rpo is around 5.which is manageable. but knowing misbah he wont risk it

Yes indeed..we need a cyt off point..

 

[Kiri]

SL need some wickets. It shows their toothless inconsistency.
