Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 2nd Test | Dubai | 08/01/14 | Day 1

[bluffmasterv2]

Taylor made situation for Haddin

 

[Nuekboi]

Average score on this pitch is 200

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Look at the cherries on Sarfraz's bat, it's as if he has beat a person to death with it

 

[96NotOut]

ive seen enough test cricket to know that if the first innings is below par then that team very rarely wins. best we can hope for is a draw..

But we can win. Didn't England bowl us out for 99? I think it was the same ground too.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Sarfraz is a sitting duck against seam bowling

 

[Nuekboi]

Taylor made situation for Haddin

Tell him to fly over here please

 

[saiyan0312]

2 runs.. good running but sarfraz needs to be careful. beaten alot a little on the outside off.

 

[amjad145]

Taylor made situation for Haddin

Taylor??


Mark Taylor?

 

[amjad145]

2 runs.. good running but sarfraz needs to be careful. beaten alot a little on the outside off.

A lot?? He's only got beaten twice.

 

[saiyan0312]

ok lets add 20 odd runs from ajmal bat

waisay yaar i love it when ajmal gets runs. Its always fun to watch as he hammers the opposition with those weird shots. i hope he does it.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Asad need's to take control, it's his responsibility what we end up with.

 

[amjad145]

Sarfraz is a sitting duck against seam bowling

He looks like he's standing to me.

 

[saiyan0312]

A lot?? He's only got beaten twice.

Previous innings added too. Relax i hope he actually makes a good score as we need one of his first class innings over here more then ever.

 

[Nuekboi]

Betting on a classy Ajmal fifty

 

[HASHAM2]

i don,t Care if Sarfraz have Bating ave of 11

but still Rate him as Better Batsman than Adnan Akmal

 

[Nuekboi]

These guys need to bat a bit more aggressive. Have to try and go on the counter offensive

 

[Kianig89]

we threw it away shame

 

[Nuekboi]

Hafeez and DALE Naylor both look comfortable and happy

 

[WebGuru]

waisay yaar i love it when ajmal gets runs. Its always fun to watch as he hammers the opposition with those weird shots. i hope he does it.

yea love his attitude he always try to give his best with the bat and ball and even in field in this age.

 

[96NotOut]

Asad need's to take control, it's his responsibility what we end up with.

And Shahzad's 3 and Misbah's 1, even Hafeez and Younis's 21& 13 have nothing to account for? The only person on our team that has done something worthy of any praise is Khurram.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

They going to have to target 1 bowler

 

[Nuekboi]

Need to attack Herath since he hasn't looked threatening

 

[saiyan0312]

yea love his attitude he always try to give his best with the bat and ball and even in field in this age.

yeah a very positive player.

hit straight to fielder.

 

[96NotOut]

waisay yaar i love it when ajmal gets runs. Its always fun to watch as he hammers the opposition with those weird shots. i hope he does it.

I love that guy, he always gives his all for the team.

 

[amjad145]

Complete disaster. Only hope is sarfraz.

 

[Nuekboi]

Shafiq

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Shafiq: a good for nothing, cowardly, and pathetic player.

 

[Blade-Runner]

Goner !!!!!!!!!! ) )

 

[HASHAM2]

Asad Shafiq gone

Should be Out of team Now

All the time this guy play,s like Night Watchmen

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

now if akmal did that we will all cry ' HE JUST THREW HIS WICKET'

but when shafiq does it its okay because he is 'sensible'

 

[Kianig89]

Asad

 

[saiyan0312]

We are in trouble. sarfraz and bhatti out there.

 

[Nuekboi]

Well, that further reduces my confidence. Rest of the wickets were decent balls atleast, this was just an INCREDIBLY poor shot

 

[ChaudrySaab]

And Shahzad's 3 and Misbah's 1, even Hafeez and Younis's 21& 13 have nothing to account for? The only person on our team that has done something worthy of any praise is Khurram.

Well obviously they going to have to stand up in the second inning's and if we lose they should be held accountable but right now Shafiq is going to have to stand up!.

 

[96NotOut]

And Shafiq gone too. I'm betting on around 150. Who else? JK shouldn't even be counted. Bhatti and Ajmal are our last chance.

 

[Blade-Runner]

'n here comes the tail...

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Wow ... That were pathetic

 

[Nuekboi]

Bhatti needs to go for shots now. He will get out sooner or later

 

[saiyan0312]

So what should be the plan. defend for the day or go on an all out attack.

 

[Kianig89]

Need to attack Herath since he hasn't looked threatening

No this is the reason this collapse happened Khurram hit Herath for :6 and then next over Matthews changed the bowling and brought Eranga back who got Yk n Misbah quickly

 

[ChaudrySaab]

'n here comes the tail...

Tail's been here for half the game now !!

 

[96NotOut]

Well obviously they going to have to stand up in the second inning's and if we lose they should be held accountable but right now Shafiq is going to have to stand up!.

Too much pressure on the kid. He's gone.

 

[Strike Rate]

Goner !!!!!!!!!! ) )

I hope you will stay here in sri lanka innings and will not run like a troll if your team is in same situation later.

 

[Kianig89]

Bilawal Flintoff for a 50

 

[Aman]

'n here comes the tail...

Tail started with Sarfraz )

Bhatti can bat though.

 

[Nuekboi]

Problem with batsmen like Shafiq and Azhar is that they make batting look like trench warfare. Can't seem to score freely even after facing 200 balls

 

[saiyan0312]

This innings will bump alot of threads.

 

[Kianig89]

What a mess this session has created

 

[96NotOut]

How much did BB score in the last game?

 

[Blade-Runner]

It was a good catch by Kaushal again. That's the best thing about fielding 4 wicket keepers. )

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Bhatti best attack, it's not as if were going to get a respectable total here

 

[Kianig89]

Sir Fraz

 

[Nuekboi]

Sarfraz lucky with misfield. Won't have to face last 5 balls

 

[bluffmasterv2]

How much did BB score in the last game?

14 i think

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Need to give Shafiq the boot.

 

[Kianig89]

now our seamers need to deliver Specially Rahat Unlucky Ali

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon razzaq 2.0

 

[imshally81]

Last Match for Asad Shafiq
Anyone ????

 

[96NotOut]

It was a good catch by Kaushal again. That's the best thing about fielding 4 wicket keepers. )

Care to lend us one?

 

[Nuekboi]

2 more balls for Bhatti to survive.

 

[Blade-Runner]

Tail started with Sarfraz )

Bhatti can bat though.

But Sarfraz Ahmed's got a first class double ton.

 

[saiyan0312]

DROPPED... regulation catch. one ball left to tea.

 

[Nuekboi]

What a drop. Bhatti needs to make best of this

 

[imshally81]

All Dismissals....
Batsman fault or Bowler special ???

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Last Match for Asad Shafiq
Anyone ????

I really hope so. He does nothing but block and block cant increase the SR even if his life depended on it.

 

[saiyan0312]

srilanka,s session. thats tea.

 

[Aman]

Stupid to pick 4 openers..

Maqsood should have been in the squad.

 

[Nuekboi]

We need tail to show some JAZBA after tea

 

[MarkCooper]

Remember when Pak played Eng here and the ball was spitting violently on day 1?

 

[96NotOut]

But Sarfraz Ahmed's got a first class double ton.

Imran Farhat just scored 300*.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

We need tail to show some JAZBA after tea

Man you love the word "JAZBA"

 

[Blade-Runner]

Care to lend us one?

Sure thing, Will u give us Junaid Khan in exchange ???

 

[Aman]

Need to give Shafiq the boot.

Golden boy will score a century to save his spot when things flatten out.

 

[Asif321]

Shafiq and Misbah should have stayed bit more , its high time shafiq swapped with Fawad

 

[zabalestmsm]

The pitch has a lot to offer for the seamers. Rahat's luck may go his way this time.

 

[96NotOut]

We need tail to show some JAZBA after tea

We did after lunch. For 2 overs.

 

[Aman]

But Sarfraz Ahmed's got a first class double ton.

The guy is a tailender at Test level

 

[Nuekboi]

The pitch has a lot to offer for the seamers. Rahat's luck may go his way this time.

We can only hope

 

[zabalestmsm]

Love the spirit with which the Lankans play the game

 

[96NotOut]

Sure thing, Will u give us Junaid Khan in exchange ???

We've got one Junaid Khan. You've got 4 keepers. You can take one of Wahab Riaz or Sohail Tanvir, they're pravtically the same.
