oh dear sami going for runs already.

 

[Waseem]

Sami is doing what he does best, leaking runs in his first over.

 

[Waseem]

It will be shame if Najaf and Alam don't play the next game.

 

[Saj]

It will be shame if Najaf and Alam don't play the next game.

Spot on, no point including them if they arent going to be given a chance.

 

[161]

It will be shame if Najaf and Alam don't play the next game.

this is a masala series ... perfect timing to introduce some new players ... lanka have already done it ... time for us to do it also.

 

[DM]

exactly

 

[Straight Bat]

I'm hoping Rao gets a go aswell. He did not put a step wrong in his last few matches

 

[Waseem]

I can understand why we didn't do it in the first two games as we had lots of things to settle, new captain, no coach, new selectors, new opening combination, unsettled middle order etc. Sri Lanka had nothing to lose as they had done well in WC so they could afford to rest almost all senior players. But we must play 2 youngsters regardless of what happens today.

 

[161]

I'm hoping Rao gets a go aswell. He did not put a step wrong in his last few matches

rao seems to be a much better option then sami .. he's taller, has much better control and bowls at a decent pace. he can bat quite well also.

and as i type sami is getting whacked around some more.

 

[Straight Bat]

Sri Lanka openers have started brightly. 4 overs 24/0

 

[dinakar]

Kamran drops a simple one

 

[Saj]

Its a boundary an over here so far

 

[Pathan007]

katmal drops.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

back to back fours by tharanga off asif

 

[kablooee87]

Kamran owes Asif a big apology there.

 

[Waseem]

Lankans doing well here, 33/0 after 4.4 overs. Asif is going for a few runs as well but Sami didn't surprise anyone, maybe a very easy pitch to bat on. Let's see what Malik can do, whether he gives Sami a few more overs or Gul will be brought on, it's more interesting than the result of the game.

We should win the game easily though.

 

[azfar wali]

sami gets a wicket

 

[dinakar]

good over for SL . 13 of the over and a dropped catch

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

37/0 off 5 overs


tharanga hit 3 4's off 3 balls against asif!!

 

[Straight Bat]

13 from that, the last shot was a lovely push down the ground for 4

 

[161]

Kapugedera gone .. he was playing recklessly and it was only a matter of time.

 

[Salman]

Lovely ball by sami... OUT Middle Stump SL 37-1

 

[Saj]

Breakthrough was needed after that hectic start.

 

[kablooee87]

1 down. Alright boys, let's pull this back.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

kapugadera gone, need another few!1!

 

[DM]

Samissileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! :d :d :d

 

[Waseem]

4.2 Mohammad Asif to Kapugedera, 1 run, dropped! He chases a short delivery outside off stump, gets the nick, and Akmal drops a simple take behind the stumps...poor stuff from him


Akmal and DROPPED!!! These two words sound so damn familiar now. Poor Asif goes for 3 boundaries after that.

Sami gets a wicket, good for a change.

 

[Salman]

Warnapura on debut...

 

[kablooee87]

Just out of curiosity, what are Sami's speeds like so far?

 

[Straight Bat]

[tahaqureshi]

Lovely ball by sami... OUT Middle Stump SL 37-1

[Salman]

Top over from Sami...

 

[Straight Bat]

great over! had the new man all over after that excellent ball to get rid of the opener

 

[kablooee87]

Great wicket Maiden from Sami. That after 2 bad overs too!

 

[tahaqureshi]

huh

the perks of being a mod

 

[Azam6380]

Guys, is there anywhere i can watch this online?

 

[dinakar]

Just out of curiosity, what are Sami's speeds like so far?

Not very pacy yet.. but maintaining a good line and length. didn't spray around on either side..

 

[azfar wali]

asif gets a wicket

 

[Easa]

Asif gets Warnapura LBW.

49/2 (8.4)

 

[Pathan007]

[kablooee87]

[ihsandar]

8.4 Mohammad Asif to Warnapura, OUT

 

[Straight Bat]

[Saj]

Asif has been surprisingly expensive today so far. Very unlike him.

 

[azfar wali]

four runs

 

[azfar wali]

63-2 in 11 overs

 

[kablooee87]

Asif going at a run a ball now. Not the same since that dropped catch.

 

[Straight Bat]

abdur rehman should have done better, that went through his legs for four

 

[Straight Bat]

Gul is on now.

 

[Straight Bat]

Gul has given back to back no balls, hope he sorts it out

 

[Saj]

Untidy start from Gul with a couple of no balls.

 

[azfar wali]

six runs

 

[Straight Bat]

yeah that was BIG pull shot for 6. He played it really well to get a 6

 

[Straight Bat]

ooo great reply, he beat his outside edge. End of over

 

[azfar wali]

four runs

 

[Straight Bat]

asif continues - 7th over now

swing and miss there from asifs 1st ball of this over
inside edge 2nd ball went for 4

 

[Salman]

Thats surley Asif last over for this spell... SL 78-2 13 overs gone

 

[Salman]

Misfield!!!!!! 5 runs.... Nazir charged missed...

 

[azfar wali]

[Salman]

Mahela FOUR Down to the 3rd man boundary... 87-2..

 

[P4K1 #1]

cmon pakistan, we need a wiket!

 

[Salman]

runs coming very easily for SL... matching the required run rate with ease...

 

[kablooee87]

Man, their openers are doing really well............

they're 2 down.....

 

[Straight Bat]

Gul needs to do a magic trick and find a breakthrough

 

[Farrukh]

comeon mahela!! lets make it a good match

 

[Farrukh]

sirlankans not taking too many singles. not putting pressure on fielders. fielders will panic if put under pressure

 

[Rob H]

Asif getting a hammering here.

 

[azfar wali]

cover drive for four

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan bowlers have been very wayward here. Its intresting to see how they handle the pressure of batsmen coming at them like this.

 

[Amir]

Asif should not be bowling more than 6 overs. Save him.

 

[Salman]

Shot Tharanga...FOUR Classy drive thru the offside...

Asif looking tired.
