Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Sep 28 - Oct 2, 2017 | Day 4

[mak36]

Even when he is not playing Wahab manages to make a mess of things.

 

[arehaan]

wahab is the worst substitute fielder that was an easy run out with a good throw.

 

[AFM]

Wahab making sure everyone remembers he doesn't have a radar

 

[Boi]

Wahab idiot. Been sent off now

 

[shariqnoor]

Wahab trying to be the hero there. A simple throw to Haris would've been enough.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hasan Ali is coming back on into the field. He was suffering from a cramp

 

[AFM]

At least the throw had pace

 

[Madplayer]

At least the throw had pace

he enforced a throw there did the enforcer.

 

[arehaan]

Wahab loves to spray be it bowling or fielding no difference

 

[UN talkz]

Haris strikes

 

[Titan24]

Yes... Sarfaraz using asad and haris and making them out to be like proper spinners and getting wickets from them

Thats is how good a captain he is.

 

[shariqnoor]

Hasan Ali bending his back and already suffering from back problems. Fast bowlers this young are so prone to getting injured. We really need to manage his workload.

He needs to up his fitness. Good players should play all formats and if he can't bowl 30-35 overs in a Test match, then he should quit playing Test matches. Since June 2017, he has only played a couple of T20Is and a CPL. It's not like he has been run to the ground by having bowled 100's of overs in a few months.

 

[shariqnoor]

3rd innings in the UAE is always danger unless you have a big first innings lead.

 

[mak36]

Yes... Sarfaraz using asad and haris and making them out to be like proper spinners and getting wickets from them

Thats is how good a captain he is.

But... but... he shouts too much.

)

 

[Shafi]

Wish our players played little bit faster and took 70 runs lead. We could have an advantage

 

[AFM]

What are the chances we bowl then out in the next hour and claim the extra half hour and chase down the score? Win in 4 days #intent

 

[Titan24]

Now I am waiting for the Haris Sohail vs Shakib thread

 

[Jabo]

Waqar Younis is a disgrace

How he can do commentary is beyond me
Giving advice when he was a terrible coach who was collecting a paycheck

 

[Veteran]

Yes... Sarfaraz using asad and haris and making them out to be like proper spinners and getting wickets from them

Thats is how good a captain he is.

Really good to see. By now Misbah would have bowled four specialist bowlers into ground. Never understood why he was so rigid in his approach.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Haris is threatening more than Yasir.

 

[Hamza_]

Herath in 4th innings will be unplayable.

Need to get them out quickly.

 

[Bewal Express]

SL will win this test if they get a lead of 160-180. Anything around 120-140 will leave the test in the balance.

 

[AFM]

Does Amir still have back niggles? Why isn't he going flat out?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Does Amir still have back niggles? Why isn't he going flat out?

Legs look heavy. Looks tired. Probably needed a longer break after County.

 

[Markhor]

SL's top order is weak, the key was always Mendis, Chandimal and Dickwella.

If we get these guys out cheaply then a result is within our grasp.

Pitch is definitely assisting the spinners now, we've seen this so many times in UAE where nothing happens for 3 days then suddenly wickets fall in a tumble.

 

[ARK Rafay]

If Pakistan gets a wicket now. It will become difficult for Sri Lanka to score even 150...

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Who is the genius who thought going with 3 pacer and 1 spinner in UAE is a good Idea?

 

[Titan24]

What a delivery by yasir

 

[AFM]

Legs look heavy. Looks tired. Probably needed a longer break after County.

He's had about a month off.

 

[Titan24]

Who is the genius who thought going with 3 pacer and 1 spinner in UAE is a good Idea?

We had three spinners, dont forget Asad and Haris.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Fantastic wicket!!

 

[Markhor]

Haris is threatening more than Yasir.

You were saying ?

 

[Titan24]

He's had about a month off.

Yes and Danny was saying that he needs to bowl more to get into rythm

 

[Markhor]

Huge wicket.

 

[AFM]

Legs look heavy. Looks tired. Probably needed a longer break after County.

Didn't play that many FC games either. 2 or 3 if I remember correctly. Most of his stint coincided with the T20 blast window.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Run thru.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

How much can we chase do you think?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Didn't play that many FC games either. 2 or 3 if I remember correctly. Most of his stint coincided with the T20 blast window.

Nonstop cricket without rest wears you down. You have to include the practices, training, etc. He'd played a lot of cricket prior to county as well. Anyway, it's either he's fatigued or out of shape from sitting for one month. We'll know by next match.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

You were saying ?

Didn't say Yasir wasn't threatening.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Very good captaincy from Sarfaraz. Really liking the bowling changes. Not allowing them to settle.

 

[ARK Rafay]

We had three spinners, dont forget Asad and Haris. ��

Shan Masood too...

 

[ARK Rafay]

I have a feeling Lakmal will get out today.

 

[another drop catch]

I have a feeling Lakmal will get out today.

facing last over

 

[ARK Rafay]

It was very close... Lakmal survived.

Pakistan is in good position now. Should try to wrap Sri Lankan innings in the 1st session.

 

[TalhaSyed]

With 3 bowls to go there we a huge appeal for Lammas being caught at silly point.

It was turned down and Pakistan didn’t think it was worth reviewing.

Ultra edge shows that it flicked the glove and was out caught.

In-Shaa-Allah won’t be a bit loss

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Ooh Lakmal had gloved it, if only we reviewed
