Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Day 3 | Abu Dhabi | 20/10/11

[insaftak]

Younis sweeps it :4

 

[ZAK]

Lakmal comes back in to the attack.

 

[Strike!]

You are a good two, three years late in asking that question. He wanted to concentrate on his batting hence he handed over the gloves to Prasana.

But he still keeps in ODI's though.

 

[Osman]

Lucky Toffee survives again

why what happened?

 

[ZAK]

The stat's of these Lanka fast bowlers are horrible.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yar the batsmen should pick up some pace now , taufeeq hun te shuru ho ja yaar

 

[ZAK]

But he still keeps in ODI's though.

If they can find a good wk in odi's, he might stop keeping in them too.

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[insaftak]

why what happened?

[Watsupdoc]

[insaftak]

:4 toufeeq

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

rameez going to have paratha for lunch it seems.

 

[Watsupdoc]

all this talk about lunch makes me hungry

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

cant see these sri lanka fast bowlers having any future

 

[Undenied]

they are picking up they speed now..they should put peddle on the gas now

 

[Fawad2010]

If Taufeeq stays in and plays with the same RR, he needs to face 150 more balls to get to his potential 200.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

the way things are going i just hope for pak sake that we dont see repeat of this match

[CORNERED-TIGER]

4th innings of sri lanka sir

they batted with such ease 134 overs and only 4 wickets on day 4/5

and pitches in lanka turn more '

 

[ZAK]

Lunch.

336/2.

Pakistan lead by 139 runs.

Taufeeq 146*
Younis 27*

 

[Ryankhan]

someone has to speed up and take the run rate upto 4-5 atleast per over......

 

[Strike!]

Lunch taken.

 

[Fawad2010]

I just noticed that Angelo Mattews hasn't bowled a single ball, is he injured or the rumors about dressing room drama are somewhat true....

It's possible that SL can draw this match, but that's about all that the match that you referenced would have in common with this one.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

It's possible that SL can draw this match, but that's about all that the match that you referenced would have in common with this one.

lol my point is simple if u dnt understand then not my fault

pakistan needs as much time as they can to bowl lanka out again,...

up the run rate... no world beater in lanka bowling
pitch is fine for batting.

When you have the other teams on knee go for the kill... !!!

 

[Osman]

we need a 250 run lead....don't want to give sri lanka too little time to bat either as that would make the draw easier for them....would be nice to have a little session at them tonight

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Pakistan batting good so far.

 

[Poison]

I just noticed that Angelo Mattews hasn't bowled a single ball, is he injured or the rumors about dressing room drama are somewhat true....

Injured

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Injured

yeah they confirmed when the announced the squad that angelo matthews wont be bowling, still recovering from shoulder surgery

 

[SwingNSeam]

They need to up the ante a bit now

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

why is it that on ptv all the pundits are from 1980s? lol

need some fresh blood players from 2000s or late 1990s...

shoiab mohammad is talking as if this is still 1989 vs new zealand

 

[SwingNSeam]

About to start... 150

 

[ZAK]

The players are back out on the field.

 

[ZAK]

Here we go...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan at least need 200 more today. This is frustrating that our batsmen are showing no intent at all.

 

[ZAK]

Taufeeq fiddles needlessly with a wide ball.

 

[ZAK]

150 for Taufeeq. Well played TU.

 

[hur rizvi]

[*syed59*]

This is the best time to push the run rate up..

 

[ZAK]

[ZAK]

Iirc this is the first individual score of more than 150 by a Pakistani batsman since Fawad Alam's 168 on debut.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Taufeeq.
