Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 2nd Test | Dubai | 11/01/14 | Day 4

[amjad145]

Best result for Pakistan would be to get to close of play without loosing another wicket.

 

[Kianig89]

Good fight back so far hopefully we will save this game with the help of rain

 

[Sunny786]

Bilawal fighting with an injury

 

[Kianig89]

Bad light may be

 

[amjad145]

Hope the light goes

 

[HASHAM2]

Light has gone Down

Play should be call off after 30-40 Mints

 

[amjad145]

49 for saffer

 

[Madplayer]

this bloke has a heart of a champion. we need to persist with fighters like Bhatti

him and anwar have shown such intelligence while batting . None from the top order have it.

Too many fielders in the deep. This is hilarious.

 

[London_Lahori]

I really hope he gets his 50 but does not over celebrate it like a lot of our players do.

50 for sarfraz . Congratulations. By the way when way the last 50scored by a Pak keeper in tests?????

 

[Kianig89]

 

[HASHAM2]

First test 50 for Sarfraz

Sarfraz is almost Crying Lol

 

[Madplayer]

50 well played man. You have earned my respect

 

[Kiri]

Are you, are you YK?

 

[Sunny786]

Maiden for

 

[London_Lahori]

Well batted

Now carry on, no complacency

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Sarfraz should buckle down and carry on. Have seen too many Pakistani batsmen give it away after making 50 odd runs.

Defensive teams in Test Cricket:

England, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

SA have always been the most defensive team of all time. No doubt about it

 

[Kianig89]

good he didnt over celebrated with that sajda

 

[khalil1986]

50 up and like he hasn't gone overboard with his celebrations which shows his mindset that hopefully he isn't satisfied yet.

Hopefully gets a ton as that will go a long way towards a draw with hopefully bad light and rain coming in to it.

 

[Kianig89]

huge FLAg :

 

[khalil1986]

good he didnt over celebrated with that sajda

exactly I was actually waiting to see how he reacts and it was more of relief than jubilant wild celebrations.

 

[Madplayer]

Are you, are you YK?

how did u come to know?

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good knock so far but he need's to do a lot more!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

PAK should walk away...the light is pretty bad

 

[Kianig89]

bad light :billyd lets walk off

 

[amax]

sarfraz bhai slowly thori se balls bhi waste karo .

 

[Kianig89]

[amjad145]

bad light :billyd lets walk off

That's not up for us to decide. The umpires decide

 

[Kianig89]

30 overs left today

Batman is back in commentary box

 

[Kianig89]

That's not up for us to decide. The umpires decide

[HASHAM2]

WebGura Bhai are u there

I Want Some Info

i Think Pakistan has not lost Match in Which Misbah and Younis had scored 100 runs Stand

Positive Sign

 

[London_Lahori]

The value of having a number 8 who can bat.

 

[Kianig89]

around the wicket Sharjeel is a hack Mr. Chishty

 

[Kiri]

how did u come to know?

The value of having a number 8 who can bat.

Gutsy player, needs to improve in bowling department though as right now his bowling isn't good enough.

If he can contribute with ball would give team an extra dimesnion really.

He bowled well in the first test, he's young and has a good attitude I can see him improving further.

 

[Kianig89]

Ya if Sarfraz n Bhatti can bat like that most of time than it will be big boost just need to dump hafeez for a proper batsman

 

[Badsha]

In tests Fawad for Hafeez would work.

Bhatti has a FC average of 18 so 15/16 runs in international is expected from him.


Sarfraz, if he an average 35/36 in tests and be reliable I'll be happy.

 

[HASHAM2]

Bhatti Carry on like that

[razabbas]

50 runs partnership please add some 50 more

 

[London_Lahori]

Thank god he didn't take it.

 

[HASHAM2]

Bhatti Injury Working well for Pakistan

 

[London_Lahori]

50 run partnership

How valuable and important are these runs!

 

[Waqas Kharian]

good thing is bhatti did not move

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan will badly miss rehman.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

i wish bhatti gets his first 50 and sarfaraz first 100

 

[Waqas Kharian]

look like sarfaraz kill some one with his bat and all the blood there

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar now praising Sarfraz earlier he labelled him like a TTF

 

[Waqas Kharian]

good singles coming up

 

[James]

Pakistan will regret not picking Rehman IMO.

If they get a 150 lead they can get Ajmal on with men around the bat and create some pressure, but their team selection has probably spoilt their chances of winning the Test.

 

[Kianig89]

who was dropped i missed that

 

[Badsha]

What is TTF? this phrase is being used a lot.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

i thin we need minimum of 200 runs lead to win or draw..there is nothing in the pitch

 

[Waqas Kharian]

who was dropped i missed that

sarfaraz

 

[Badsha]

Pakistan will regret not picking Rehman IMO.

Nah. You're basing Rehman on that one match. He's generally not that good of a bowler.


We're unlucky Bhatti did his hammy. He wont be able to bowl.

 

[m.shah]

Rehman will be missed here and bhatti is also injured

 

[amjad145]

Waqar now praising Sarfraz earlier he labelled him like a TTF

Exactly . Waqar younis was ripping him on commentary. Calling him a tailender . He's a hypocrite . Hope he doesn't get the coaches job. He's terrible

 

[HASHAM2]

who was dropped i missed that

Sarfraz catch was drop by Lakmal on his Bowling

 

[Kianig89]

did an afridi there xposing stumps

 

[Waqas Kharian]

[Waqas Kharian]

lead now 79

 

[Asif321]

lovely Bhatti true fighter
btw Sarfraz rotates strike very well , so easily gets the singles

 

[Kianig89]

What is TTF? this phrase is being used a lot.

tried n tested failure normally used for the likes of :kami who have played a great deal but Srfraz has only played 4 tests before this

 

[Waqas Kharian]

80

 

[amjad145]

Waqar is a terrible commentator

 

[razabbas]

Bhatti you the beauty

 

[HASHAM2]

Match should be Called off now Due to bad Light

 

[London_Lahori]

300 up with that four from Bhatti. When Misbah got out 300 looked a difficult task.

 

[Waqas Kharian]

whats wrong with bhatti? means what kind of injury?
