Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 2nd Test | Dubai | Oct 6-10, 2017 | Day 4

[JattMaula]

You think that's the idea when your 1st 4 are Shan, Sami, Azhar & Asad?

Maybe captaan can promote himself.

 

[Shafi]

Success to win test matches:
1. Need a proper opening pair.
2. No Akmal brothers
3. No timid players
4. Select proper bowling combination

 

[QalandarFan]

Sami should look to play with positive intent.

 

[shariqnoor]

Shan leaving hit me balls outside off. It just shows he has no confidence in his batting.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Seriously dont know how it missed the stumps

He was at backfoot and the ball hit above the pads so missed the stumps.. good review

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Should bring Azhar in next followed by Harris then Sarfraz.

Pakistan need to play aggressive and take on hearth and get him off his line in length. Should've be a tough chase but Pakistan got close to chasing 400+ in Australia with the help of Shafiq.

Hopefully he can replicate that performance today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Docile pitch. SL getting bowled out here for 96 was just dumb batting.

That was a dead rubber wicket at the Gabba where we somehow scored 450, don't expect those kind of things everyday. Although I believe we will win this.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Only positive intent will get pakistan close to this total here, if we bat defensively and negatively then we will lose this is meek and shameful fashion.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

U should play this

Shan
Sami
Azhar
Haris
Sarfraz
Asad(back to his own position)
Babar

This is what I have been saying.

 

[MenInG]

if Sohail can take 3 in an over then Herath can do better

 

[DRsohail]

any srilankan poster heer?/

 

[dhump]

Too big a task if Azhar,Asad and Sarfraz dont fill the big boots of Younis and Misbah who used to make these things happen.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Yeah but that should install some confidence in our team and it was against a much better attack. Hopefully we can win this. Pakistan need to play positive and make some changing in the batting order.

 

[shariqnoor]

Haris Sohail is the first to ever take 3 wickets bowling just a single over in a Test innings!

 

[Reddy]

Docile pitch. SL getting bowled out here for 96 was just dumb batting.

I agree, the second inning batting was just plain idiotc from Sri Lanka, could have sealed an easy 2-0 but now they will have to fight hard otherwise there is a risk of spoiling everything with 1-1 series result

 

[rajimam]

I think Azhar's 2nd innings record is very very poor. Anybody can provide statistics?

 

[Madplayer]

Sami out on a : hahaha

 

[Rayyman]

We got this boys!

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

It's a dead pitch. W can still win

 

[ARK Rafay]

Brilliant stuff, both from bowler and the batsmen!

 

[QalandarFan]

Sami gone! But it's a no ball!

This is our day boys.

 

[Madplayer]

This time he is :

 

[Nikhil_cric]

if Sohail can take 3 in an over then Herath can do better

No I doubt it to be honest. Pakistan have their UAE reputation at stake and won't throw away wickets now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nothing going SLs way.

 

[Madplayer]

What a rubbish shot

 

[QalandarFan]

And this time he is gone PATHETIC

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish batting! Pure preassure.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Collapse coming...

 

[ExpressPacer]

What are they even going...

 

[R0H1T]

Pak openers living a charmed life!

 

[QalandarFan]

That's clean he's gone.

 

[Madplayer]

As pathetic as it gets from sami.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Should be out.

 

[JattMaula]

Out despite umpire's help 2 balls ago.

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell. Umpire gets you out of jail by calling a no-ball on a legitimate delivery and you go and do that?

 

[Madplayer]

Will Pakistan score 100?

 

[Shafi]

Sami is such a rubbish player!!!! Too timid and annoying to see him bat

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

I doubt Sami plays Pakistans next test. I think they'll drop both Shaan and Sami and bring in Shehzad with Azhar Ali as the other opener

 

[castortroy]

Did say we will be all out after Tea

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sami you fool.

 

[waleedfb23]

terrible tour for sami.....not likely to retain his place

 

[castortroy]

Sami looked so assured v England

Clearly a fluke performance

 

[Haripotter]

Now the flood gates have to open

 

[Railu Katta]

The night watchmen are batting and nazreen one of the night watchmen is out. Second to follow suit. LOL these cartoon networks need to be dropped. Only Pakistan will open with 2 night watchmen.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I agree, the second inning batting was just plain idiotc from Sri Lanka, could have sealed an easy 2-0 but now they will have to fight hard otherwise there is a risk of spoiling everything with 1-1 series result

Very minnowesque performance from them. Got too complacent and now paying the price.

 

[DRsohail]

sami aslam is another asad shafiq..get rid of him..

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Lame opener.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I hope we never get to see Masood or Aslam ever in Pakistan colors. Mentally weak batsmen. Not deserving of donning the national jersey.

 

[shariqnoor]

Great catching practice Sami.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Sami is a mental midget.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Sami disappoints AGAIN h:

 

[Madplayer]

Pressure pressure pressure.
Looks like a wicket will fall every delivery lol

 

[Napa]

Pakistan's chances of winning the game fell from 40% to 30% with Sami being out according to the bookies.

 

[Shafi]

How on earth Sami select in the national team? A sad reality of nepotism

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

No point in Azhar being at #3 if he has to come in within 10 overs every innings.

 

[IAJ]

He has been leaving so well outside off, but once the bowler comes around the wicket he totally forgot his off and kept poking at them, did it in first innings as well.

 

[DRsohail]

Pakistan's chances of winning the game fell from 40% to 30% with Sami being out according to the bookies.

it should have been the same..

 

[shariqnoor]

Apart from Haris and Sarfraz, there's not a single batter in our lineup who's capable of playing aggressively and counter-punching. And Sarfraz can't score more than 20. It's a dire batting lineup. Haris better come in next.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Is sami aslam the one who's in the team due to nepotism or is it shan masood? I always get confused between the two, both are pathetic players though.

 

[m.shah]

Shehzad is miles better than these two mental midget openers

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Open with Azhar and Shehzad/Babar.
Babar/Shafiq at #3

 

[ammar_merry]

Is sami aslam the one who's in the team due to nepotism or is it shan masood? I always get confused between the two, both are pathetic players though.

shan masood

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

That would be Shaan Masood LOL

 

[MMHS]

Rambo thinks, Shan was looking for runs in 1st innings!!!!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lakmal getting some late swing but his line is not consistent enough.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shan Masood is making a mockery of this cricket team. Absolute joke of a batsman.

 

[Madplayer]

Is sami aslam the one who's in the team due to nepotism or is it shan masood? I always get confused between the two, both are pathetic players though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

When it comes to excessively appealing none can beat SL. It is in their culture. Batsmen may tend to become overambitious to quieten them down.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

That would be Shaan Masood LOL

shan masood

Thanks

 

[Rayyman]

Shan 3(20)

 

[shariqnoor]

5 overs 5 runs. Allowing them to bowl where they want to. We have never learned from our mistakes so it's futile expecting them to learn from their mistakes in this series.

 

[Madplayer]

Shan 3(20)

Soon it will be 5 from 40

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sitting in class, watching this match. Almost screamed when Sami got out lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Initial tentativeness is there. But shot selection is the biggest key.

 

[DRsohail]

Rambo thinks, Shan was looking for runs in 1st innings!!!!!

haris almost did not bowl in fc..it shows how is this fc to identify one,s abilities,,

 

[R0H1T]

Pak playing for a draw?

 

[Rayyman]

Oh no that looks out

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Man they need to get rid of this getting your review back with umpires call.
Absolute clueless reviews which prolong the game.
