[161]

flu

 

[Rana]

im off guys!

im gonna play cricket 2005 and see if theres any luck for me on that!

cya later, 1 hrs time!

 

[Daoud]

Rao bleeding 4s. Inzi, you have 5 bowlers. 3 that arent being used. 1 whos bowled a single over. USE HIM

 

[zMario]

In the meantime, while SL is 140-3,

India made 294-6, and England are 10-1, with Matt Prior and Ian Blackwell on strike.

England are 11-1 in 3.5 overs. Strauss out with an edge to slips, he was struggling.

NEVER MIND, FOUR FOR PRIOR!

England 15-1

 

[zMario]

Great shot by Blackwell, thats another four

Interesting, Munaf Patel making a debut. Didn't he play against Pakistan?

England 20-1 after 4.2 overs.

Woohoo Danni Boy is on!

 

[Saqib]

Finaly Inzamam has made a bowling change, conditions still good for fast bowlers only our bowlers can;t get most out of it.

 

[Saqib]

Kaneria is on

 

[zMario]

Gone

Kaneria Strikes

 

[Big Mac]

look at that, Inzi holding Kaneria back again

 

[Saqib]

GONE Kaneria strikes

 

[zMario]

YES! It is Sangakkara

We are back on top!!!

 

[Sheikh]

Huge wicket!!!

 

[Saqib]

Kaneria you are a champion, Kumar Sangakara just lost concentration there well played Knock by him. Incomes Dilshan to take strike against Kaneria.

 

[zMario]

.

 

[Saqib]

If we can take another 3 wicket in this session we can virtualy win this test match if our Batsman can score some runs.

 

[Daoud]

There you go. Making a common sense bowling change helps doesnt it. Big wicket for sure

 

[Saqib]

Some good turn for Kaneria he might be our key bowler later in the test match suggest.

 

[Saqib]

I got a feeling this match is going to be a result, the weather is good wickets are falling regualry. It is just up to Pakistan what they are gonna do in the second innings, also they have to bat better than the previous test match that was realy poor stuff by Pakistan I hope we learn this time. First we need to get some wickets

 

[Azam6380]

Sorry to be annoying again but if Shoaib is ill, then is Kami going to open with Farhat?

 

[Daoud]

Sorry to be annoying again but if Shoaib is ill, then is Kami going to open with Farhat?

Most likely

 

[zMario]

Razzaqs looking good now!

 

[Saqib]

42 overs remaining

Sri Lanka 147-4 - 42,4 overs
Run rate: 3.46

 

[tahaqureshi]

Most likely

Do you think it would wise to experiment e.g. younis open??

 

[zMario]

How is it 42 overs remaining?

It's 90 overs a day, and 43+42 = 85 overs.

 

[Saqib]

Sorry to be annoying again but if Shoaib is ill, then is Kami going to open with Farhat?

It might be that Younis Khan will open for Pakistan

 

[Sheikh]

Where's Danish's doosra?

 

[zMario]

Ooooo, good show by Dani!

 

[zMario]

Asifs back

 

[tahaqureshi]

Asif in...good move, a breakthrough here would really peg SL back

 

[TaxiDriver]

Salaam brothers..
Just logged on to Cricinfo and so releived that Kakkaa is out. C'mon Pakistan. Inshallah try to restrict the Lankans to less than 200...
Bloody dilshan looking dangerous though!

 

[offstump]

great spell from asif, fiery and heated, words being exchanged back and forth...this guy is for real

 

[Saqib]

Some good cricket in the last over by Mohammed Asif ! Some big shout and some missed by the batsman.

 

[Sheikh]

Less then 200 is very unlikely. Under 300 is a safer and more realistic target.

 

[Sheikh]

Im still waiting for a googly by Kaneria. Its too predictable right now.

 

[tahaqureshi]

I was quite surprised to see Kaneria get a wicket so early on, that too of a proper, dangerous and set batsman like Sangga. Good on him..hope he gets us a couple mroe valuable wickets before he leaks too many runs.

 

[zMario]

Out? Cmon Umpire, give it out, Samaraweera shouldve been out ages ago

 

[offstump]

he didnt even touch that one

 

[zMario]

If he didn't why was every1 appealing?


Ooo inside edge onto pad for Samaraweera

 

[zMario]

Ooooo, Wonderful ball from Dani boy

 

[offstump]

kanerier should throw in a googly now

 

[zMario]

Hmmm, can Asif get rid of Samaraweera

 

[zMario]

What a delivery by Asif, now Asif might be able to get rid of Dilshan and Samaraweera

 

[tahaqureshi]

is the fire Asif's showing making him bowl any faster..or is it still his normal pace?
