and with this he will lose his no. 5 spot in ICC rankings soon.

 

[HASHAM2]

Why did Sanga not taken Review when he was Given Out

 

[Blade-Runner]

Pitching outside the leg

 

[Kianig89]

unlucky boy

again unlucky )

 

[Aman]

Pakistan shouldn't play spinners against SL they play them too well

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat averaging close to 42 with the ball, he needs to be dropped before he overtakes

 

[Blade-Runner]

It was too high anyway

 

[Justcrazy]

Ehsan Adil would have been better here than rahat

 

[Justcrazy]

has been totally nullified , like swan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 73 already

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat should be made fast bowling coach for Pakistan

 

[Blade-Runner]

Lead by 2 runs

 

[Sakss]

Ah Rahat Ali .

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 6 runs with 7 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[HASHAM2]

Ehsan Adil would have been better here than rahat

has 103 FC Wicket,s at Ave of 18.8

and Sadaf have 210 Wicket,s at Ave of 17.9

Pacers Must Have Ave of 10-12 to be Selected in Pakistan team

and Pace should be around 160-165kph

Otherwise Big no for Them

 

[Sakss]

Time for some Bhatti action or even Hafeez . Need to try something different here

 

[Ibad17]

Misbah need to try something different. Should bring Younis to bowl.

 

[Nado_]

Brothers this is like slow death, test match on day 2 which we are likely to lose, 2,3 days of more agony awaits us!

 

[Sunny786]

I want to see bowl!

 

[saeedhk]

Rahat is mediocre.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Our bowlers are looking toothless at the moment

 

[saiyan0312]

Rahat has looked very ordinary and has given away too many runs.

 

[saiyan0312]

maybe try junaid again. He is the only one thats doing something.

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

The bowling surely isn't that bad- 165 is the problem.

 

[vandokkum]

A big Sri Lankan win looks to be on the cards here, must say Sri Lankan bowlers bowled really well on day one. , pakistani batsmen didn't show much stomach .

 

[Nado_]

At least we won one day series, rahat ali just doesnt seem to have that spark a fast bowler should have

 

[arehaan]

Misbahs nut head captaincy is mind boggling

 

[arehaan]

The slip fielders are a joke have no idea where to stand.

Its just unbelievable that a genuine edge doesnt carry and its not the first time .

What is the point of being at slip if you are not going to take the genuine chances.

 

[Sakss]

Finally Bhatti comes on

 

[criclover510]

At least we won one day series, rahat ali just doesnt seem to have that spark a fast bowler should have

the guy is bowling the right areas.. right line and lenght...what can he do.. if he is unlucky.

two edges in his last over.. went for 4.. it could have been chances

 

[Blade-Runner]

Partnership - 100 runs

 

[Blade-Runner]

These batsmen play with soft hands. That's why those edges don't carry to slip fielders.

 

[criclover510]

ok.. can't misbah maybe put 4 slips... i am tired of counting edges that went through gully and third man region ... damnnn ittt

 

[MarkCooper]

When Swann became less effective he retired instead of living on former glories. Don't stay around too long Ajmal.

 

[talma]

Dont dwell in history

At least we won one day series, rahat ali just doesnt seem to have that spark a fast bowler should have

Every time Pakistan is on the verge of losing, some fanatic will bring up an achievement of yesterday. Today is today, man. Don't dwell on the past. It is history!!!

 

[Imran_m]

When Swann became less effective he retired instead of living on former glories. Don't stay around too long Ajmal.

Has been the highest wicket taker in international cricket (inclusive of all formats) in the last 3 years

 

[Sakss]

Game slipping away from Pakistan

 

[criclover510]

When Swann became less effective he retired instead of living on former glories. Don't stay around too long Ajmal.

mate swann is a coward.. you dont retire and leave ur time during an important series.. when ur team is struggle.. and go home to ur momaa..

England team has given him everything.. the least he could do was support his teamates.. and be there till the end.. contribuate any way he could..

his loss was another huge blow during a tour that was already proving to be taugh for them..

 

[Madplayer]

they should set Unusual field for rahat

 

[DanishJamil]

Its going to be a draw. Series is going to be decided in Sharjah and it will be a massive turner.

 

[talma]

Misbah's style of cricket has been very boring...I'm going to watch a replay of WI and NZ on another channel...

 

[Asif321]

is Hafeez playing as batsmen only ? why is he in team if he is not given the ball

 

[Sakss]

8 overs to the new ball

 

[Blade-Runner]

50 for Mahela !!!!! Awesome !!!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Pak heading for a deserved thrashing

 

[leatherface58]

They missed

Sorry bro just something to make me feel better from this torture of test match

 

[imshally81]

Match is gone ...
Anyone ?????

 

[liaqat]

Match is gone ...
Anyone ?????

Yes seems that way, Unless a miracle happen's that i don't see happening with this set or players,

Srilanka in the 2 nd innings will need 2 wickets misbah and myk and game over

Shoaib Akhtar to cheetah expert hogya hai

 

[criclover510]

great pace by bhatti... i would just bowle full and yarker length with same speed.. keep it up evenutally it will pay off

 

[Blade-Runner]

No slips for Mahela... pretty defensive field settings by Misbah

 

[Space Cat]

I think there's about 4 people watching in the ground.

 

[Lords]

A big one was long due from Mahela.

Today might be the day.

 

[saiyan0312]

hafeez gets silva and review. umpires call can save us.

 

[saiyan0312]

that looks plumb.

 

[saiyan0312]

gone silva gone at 95. Bring on junaid to put an end to it fast.

 

[Aman]

Hafeez has taken more wickets than Ajmal this series =S

Ajmal is too easy for the Lankans.

 

[Blade-Runner]

Damn...he missed out his well deserved 100 for the 2nd time

 

[96NotOut]

Kaushal gone!

 

[96NotOut]

We need a Junaid-Hafeez spell.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

If Ajmal doesn't bowl better in the 2nd innings, he should not be played against SLA.

 

[Kianig89]

Al Capitaino walks out averaging 200+ in this series

 

[Aman]

Am I the only one who thinks Junaid has regressed?..

 

[Kianig89]

look @ Bhatti's Econ almost 4

 

[Kianig89]

Am I the only one who thinks Junaid has regressed?..

he needs support and Rahat n Bhatti are rubbish so far

 

[saiyan0312]

Hafeez has taken more wickets than Ajmal this series =S

Ajmal is too easy for the Lankans.

wrong ajmal has 2 wickets and hafeez has 1.

 

[Aman]

look @ Bhatti's Econ almost 4

He's attacking on a phatta

He'd make a good third choice bowler nonetheless.

 

[Kianig89]

abdur rehman: "misbah please dry up the runs. spin from both ends. no easy runs"

from cricinfo lol

 

[Aman]

wrong ajmal has 2 wickets and hafeez has 1.

Ajmal took wickets in the first innings of the first Test?

Nvm you are right, he didn't take any in the second innings.

 

[Kianig89]

He's attacking on a phatta

He'd make a good third choice bowler nonetheless.

3rd choice has to be a container unlike Bhatti

 

[saiyan0312]

Am I the only one who thinks Junaid has regressed?..

Ummm yeah bcz he is the only one thats doing something. He needs support too as ajmal has not gotten anything and rahat and bhatti are also going for runs without picking many wickets.

 

[Kianig89]

can we get a scalp or two with newish cherry

 

[Aman]

3rd choice has to be a container unlike Bhatti

He's got pace and is aggressive, Rahat has nothing.

 

[saiyan0312]

Ajmal took wickets in the first innings of the first Test?

Nvm you are right, he didn't take any in the second innings.

yep. first innings and after that he has not taken any wickets. hafeez has barely bowled. Heavily underused i think.

 

[Kianig89]

PCB and its officials a are a joke i mean our domestic bowlers play with Grays ball and every team has the right to use their brand of ball for the home series like Eng Duke and India SG so why the hell PCB use Kokaburra for home series why not Grays ball with which Bowlers as Shinwari are swinging in yards
