Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 2nd Test | Dubai | Oct 6-10, 2017 | Day 2

[ExpressPacer]

Good thing that the tailender specialist is on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cannot believe Pakistan is going to loose this series. Had they have 3 test match series , pakistan could have drawn.

 

[dravidthewall]

Pakistan still have chance .if they get sl out for 500.Its all depend on azar ali

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rangana stokes lol They are having defensive field for him.

 

[dravidthewall]

We should attack rangana herath.when we come to bat

 

[sachin100]

the ball is spinning and keeping low

 

[Justcrazy]

Two spinners was must here , very very poor decision.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Good thing that the tailender specialist is on.

Are you talking about me ?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Tailender specialist trundler can't even do his job..

 

[Justcrazy]

We should attack rangana herath.when we come to bat

Without attacking him , you are loosing wickets , if you attack you will give him a 10 fer

 

[DRsohail]

this abbas guy is real thundler..just play him on green top..we despratley need a pacer who can bowl in 140s with a bit of swing,not like wahab..

 

[ExpressPacer]

Are you talking about me ?

No. I'm talking about the world's first "fast" bowler who specializes in dismissing tailenders and tailenders only. The legend that is Mohammad Abbas.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Lakmal destorying Abbas.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL are in strong position , Pakistan have collappsed several times in last innings.

 

[imshally81]

Out n review...

 

[DRsohail]

srilanka is just wasting time here..

 

[sachin100]

take that express pacer

 

[imshally81]

Review wasted

 

[DRsohail]

Review wasted

hahhahah...review used rather than wasted

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan test team has been badly exposed.

 

[sachin100]

abbas is making express pacer eat humble pie

 

[ExpressPacer]

Mohammad Abbas picks up the wicket of a tailender!! In other news, the sky is blue.

 

[DRsohail]

no they are still batting//

 

[MenInG]

no they are still batting//

Any rubbish as in making up news etc will be punished with a ban - dont do it again

 

[Markhor]

Yasir or bust. I shudder to think where we'd be in the rankings without him.

 

[Mir jibran]

5 wkt haul in 5 consecutive test matches for yas

 

[Napa]

Cannot believe Pakistan is going to loose this series. Had they have 3 test match series , pakistan could have drawn.

Or they could have ended up 0-3.

 

[Princejain191]

Given the pitch and the SL attack, if it were India - I would still have expected India to win this. Bat till tea at day 4 and make 600+. Then the bowling attack would do what it usually does.

 

[Justcrazy]

480 / 9

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would have won the series if they had another spinner to support Yasir.

 

[imshally81]

Finally........
6fer for Yasir

 

[sachin100]

5 wkt haul in 5 consecutive test matches for yas

when u r the only bowler u will get 5 in every test as u r bowling 60 overs per innings

 

[DRsohail]

MICKY Arthur is responsible..who will go in UAE with just one spinnerr.

 

[Syed1]

Yasir or bust. I shudder to think where we'd be in the rankings without him.

The same squad would have beaten Lanka 2-0 if our coach was someone with half a brain cell.

 

[DRsohail]

when u r the only bowler u will get 5 in every test as u r bowling 60 overs per innings

its not easy to bowl 60 per innings,,give credit when due.....

 

[Justcrazy]

six wickets for Yasir

 

[DRsohail]

The same squad would have beaten Lanka 2-0 if our coach was someone with half a brain cell.

this coach is just experimenting ,its a joke to go with one sinner in UAE,,,wait many more to come....

 

[sachin100]

its not easy to bowl 60 per innings,,give credit when due.....

absolutely.thats what i said previously when i called pak attack as one man army.

 

[DRsohail]

absolutely.thats what i said previously when i called pak attack as one man army.

addd ur jadeja to this squad and see what happens..pak management is joke...absolute joke..

 

[sachin100]

addd ur jadeja to this squad and see what happens..pak management is joke...absolute joke..

thats what i was saying .playing a single spinner in uae is disaster waiting to happen and it happened

 

[jnaveen1980]

Won't know how it will pan out until Herath comes on to bowl.

 

[Boi]

A hint of movement and Shan looks hopeless. And this guy will be opening in England next year in May? #MickeyOut.

 

[DRsohail]

dad,s dream is struggling badly..

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shan looking out of sorts already.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan batters have big task ahead of them

 

[ExpressPacer]

In case you didn't know, Sri Lanka have also played 3 pacers.

 

[Justcrazy]

How can shaan be selected again

 

[Justcrazy]

In case you didn't know, Sri Lanka have also played 3 pacers.

They have played 5 specialist bowlers

 

[DRsohail]

sami aslam is looking for runs..

 

[imshally81]

How can shaan be selected again

Purely on merit...

 

[ExpressPacer]

They have played 5 specialist bowlers

Perera is an all rounders.

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Hope they show some intent and atleast score at 3RPO.Not playing a second spinner again was a huge mistake.It should not have been a tough to drop a pacer and play Asghar or Bilal.We are not anyways having pacers like Starc or Rabada in our team but somehow we went with 3 seamers on this pitch.Got this gut feeling that Babar Azhar and Haris will score big

 

[Rayyman]

Don't worry guys we will most likely win this. The streak won't break.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

GOOd shot by Aslam and he runs for 3.

 

[sachin100]

sami on fire

 

[Abdul]

Sami is looking to score runs today which is good to see.

 

[Rayyman]

Just need to bat till Tea on Day 4 with RR at/over 3.5.

 

[Abdul]

Masood.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sami showing intent.

 

[sachin100]

pak batsman r looking very positive.looks good for pak

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Masood also runs three.Good show of intent.

 

[DRsohail]

Perera is an all rounders.

the record doesn,t show though..

 

[JattMaula]

What is this!!!!

INTENT!!!!

HOW?

WHERE WAS IT?

 

[Markhor]

We need to do what Australia did to us in Melbourne.

However we need to bat at a good rate and for at least two batsmen to go big. Only way we're saving this series - bat once, get a lead, and throw everything at Sri Lanka in their 2nd innings.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

These SL trundlers need to bowl around the wicket to Shan and Sami. They can simply leave all these deliveries going across.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball hardly rises above knees.

i hope so..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to play out of world cricket here to win this game

 

[sachin100]

pak team at this rate will reach 6oo by dinner 4 th day

 

[DRsohail]

Gamage FC record is mediocre..

 

[New Yorker]

Don't worry guys we will most likely win this. The streak won't break.

wait for herath

 

[sachin100]

gamage bowling routine is very unique

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Single off the over.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gamage is a trundler as well. Kumara and Chameera are the only SL quicks with some pace and neither are playing this series.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Low bounce, Herath. If there is hint of turn it is going to be a challenging task negotiating him. Only good thing pitch is so slow that you can play off the backfoot

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can't believe Pakistan is not thrashing these bowlers all over lol They are just trundling

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to maintain healthy rate of scoring

 

[Rayyman]

Somebody tell Shan to either hit out or get out.

I don't want to hear ** of playing out new ball.

 

[imshally81]

Batsman are showing good intentions...

 

[DRsohail]

this GAMAGE even cant make it to our 16 FC team...
