Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | Rawalpindi | 11-15th December, 2019 | Day 1 | Match Thread

[Amjid Javed]

I hope we dont give awat cheap runs through part time bowlers due to worrying about overates.

 

[Fahdi]

Hope Shaheen is alright there.

where is the WK ?

 

[Mercurial]

Usman and Abbas are the weak links mainly because of their pace (below 135 kph). I thought Shinwari was a >135 kph bowler, he is bowling like a trundler.

 

[Shafi]

This guy Shinwari is even worse than M Sami. Not a international material.

 

[imshally81]

Shinwari is leaking runs here...

 

[emranabbas]

where is the WK ?

Do you want a WK or a WK batsmen?

 

[imshally81]

Do you want a WK or a WK batsmen?

At least WK ...

 

[boomboomcheema]

What would be a good first innings score at this wicket.

 

[Omer2002]

very good tactics from Srilanka...run rate was down in the first two sessions now they know we are tired they are playing agrressively

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cant let SL assert control here again in final session..we need more wickets.

 

[emranabbas]

At least WK ...

Anything above 350.

 

[Fahdi]

Leaking too many runs this session. Way too many poor deliveries from Shinwari.

 

[Abdullah719]

Shinwari struggling since the ball stopped moving. Not good Test match bowling right now from him.

Good modern template.

 

[Shafi]

As expect SL is heading towards big score.Our bowlers are too tired.

 

[Mercurial]

If our batsmen even fail on this pitch, then their sacking must be considered.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Methews is always bat well against us
Yasir Shah takes his wicket quite a few times but he is not playing

 

[m.awais]

Pakistan needs a couple of wickets before close of play.

 

[Fahdi]

Naseem has the ability to produce an absolute gem of a delivery out nowhere. Almost had a wicket 3 times this over.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Just tuned in ...g'day peepers....historic day-tests back - gr8 occasion...
whilst on this match....this is where u miss yaser bigtime, forget what happened in aus, his record in SC speaks, he should have been in....why the 4 quicks-just weakening your batting....good luck pak-glad to see TC in your home soil...

 

[Abdullah719]

Ramiz when SL were batting slowly: They need to learn from Warner, bat aggressively, increase run-rate

Ramiz now: SL need to respect the bowling and slow down

 

[Waleed93]

Misbah will give 40 overs per day to Yasir in Australian conditions, only to drop him in the subcontient.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar going through motions in field as captain, pretty poor stuff as usual

 

[whetstone]

Ramiz when SL were batting slowly: They need to learn from Warner, bat aggressively, increase run-rate

Ramiz now: SL need to respect the bowling and slow down

his job is to provide entertainment on comms ( not logic) and he does that well

 

[imshally81]

Need wickets here..

 

[barah_admi]

4 pace bowlers and no spinners...is this correct?

 

[aukhan]

Azhar is a proxy captain but soon he will surpass Yousuf as the worst Test captain ever.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good bowling.


May be another 6 7 overs possible today if lights are not used.

 

[Fahdi]

Loose shot from Mathews and good stuff from Naseem.

 

[aukhan]

4 pace bowlers and no spinners...is this correct?

Sounds idiotic but yes that's the strategy.

 

[Omer2002]

got him deserves it young lad well done...bowled great

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Very poor cricket by SL.

 

[Omer2002]

Lights have been on since afternoon

 

[emranabbas]

That was a daft shot

 

[Amirforpresident]

Now need to get Dickwella early and then we could might call it a good day for Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is Naseem ok?

Just seen him on the ground, hopefully just resting a little

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He should not bowl more than another 2 overs after this for today IMO.

 

[MRSN]

Sounds idiotic but yes that's the strategy.

playing 2 spinners in a pink test played in Aus and this. Misbah is amazing. lol

 

[aukhan]

playing 2 spinners in a pink test played in Aus and this. Misbah is amazing. lol

shhh Haters are jealous of Misbah.

 

[topspin]

Weather permitting, a score of 300 will be suffice for Sri Lanka to win this test, considering there is no front line spinner for the hosts, whose chances will be compounded further having to bat last.

 

[topspin]

playing 2 spinners in a pink test played in Aus and this. Misbah is amazing. lol

Nailed it. You have to give it to Misbah, he gives us good comic relief

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need a few more wickets before new ball is available.
