Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 3rd Test | Sharjah | 16/01/14 | Day 1

) )

dirty mind

I read what he wrote. Was pretty classless though. Sorry guys.

 

[Badsha]

Talha is looking good. Misbah is using him well in bursts.

This Rameez Raja tea add is extremely cheap btw.

 

[Xoib]

Talha will struggle against lefties.

 

[Boi]

Hafeez got dropped?? YAY!

 

[Bilal7]

Sanga looks to be in good form. Need to get him early or he'll become Bradman.

 

[Badsha]

The good think about Talha is he regularly clocks 140.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Sanga picked that doosra with ease for 2 run's.

 

[yasir]

Low bounce might help spinners with LBWs... I think there will be more reverse swing to offer on this wicket... Otherwise a flat batting track. Batting would be hard from day 3 onwards, last day would be very difficult, if wicket breaks...

Talha 140+ pace, swing look's good!.

 

[Sunny786]

I haven't seen Sanga miss the middle of the bat ever.

 

[Savak]

The pitch to be honest, while nothing for the bowlers, does not look that special for batting either, it appears you have to really grind it out for your runs as it doesn't appear that the ball is coming on to the bat.

 

[IAJ]

Hopefully Talha knows the art of reverse swing, that will be handy on this dry wicket later on.

 

[akamaka]

The good think about Talha is he regularly clocks 140.

the good thing is that he can swing the new ball.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Sanga looking good, try Rehman just to mix it up.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

44444 by Dimuth

44444 by Sanga

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Should try Rehman in place of Ajmal

 

[Sunny786]

Ramiz that was not a drive, it was an edge.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Need 1 or 2 quick wicket's here

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good over by Talha

 

[Badsha]

Haha Ramiz.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Our opener's could learn a thing or 2 from Dimuth look he is struggling out there has had a few edges but is unfazed and grinding it out!.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan needed at least 3 wickets in the first session.

 

[Savak]

Am seeing better lengths by the pacers, they are thankfully pitching the ball up to the bat in this match.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to come back strongly in the second session

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 26 runs

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Rehman on

 

[Justcrazy]

59 / 1 | 24 overs

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good to see the bowler's patient and discplined.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan somehow need one wicket more here to get charged up.

 

[yasir]

It's pity that Pakistan did not play Talha on faster wickets of Abu dabhi and Dubai, he would have being lot more useful. Also why they did not take any fast bowler to SA earlier in the year?? - selectors and Captains love for seamer and not fast bowlers baffles me... Pakistan is know for fast bowler not seamer

I do not see getting wickets , he is just a economical bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 32 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lunch

Lanka would be happy with the situation , loosing just one wicket

 

[yasir]

I do not see getting wickets , he is just a economical bowler.

Rehman would be vital in second innings, plus holding one side is important.

[ChaudrySaab]

Lunch ... Good session for SL and decent 1 for us.

 

[KB-24]

in for a grinding game ... cannot let Sanga settle warna hamari chutti !!

 

[talma]

Why Hafeez and why not Shafiq

Performance in two tests so far

Hafeez 11, 80(n.o), 21, 01.

Shafiq 13, 06, 23.

Why was Shafiq not dropped as well?

Shafiq's the golden boy!

 

[Kianig89]

Ajmal's worrying me

 

[Kianig89]

hopefully a crazy session is ahead

 

[talma]

Unless Pakistan has a brilliant post-lunch session, match tilts in SL favor, and along with it the series...

 

[MarkCooper]

Ajmal's worrying me

Swann retired 34
Murali retired 36
Warne retired 36

Ajmal age, at least 36.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need to get 3 wickets this session at least.

 

[talma]

A draw does not help Pakistan. They would go to lose the series...

[Badsha]

[Kianig89]

wicket straight away

 

[Kianig89]

Appeal

 

[talma]

I wish Rameez Raja had a Twitter account. I'd tell him not to over-analyze everything and shut up once in a while

 

[Kianig89]

Rehman gave the flight and got the result thats why should have been in the squad now Sanga n mahela together

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good bowling

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Get Sanga or were done for.

 

[Kianig89]

68/2

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 2 from 29 overs

 

[Kianig89]

outrageous Sanga

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have dried the runs with , they need get wickets

 

[Kianig89]

top over

 

[Adil_94]

Is this wicket a rank turner

 

[Justcrazy]

3rd maiden in 4th wicket.

 

[Kianig89]

talha should target stumps

 

[Justcrazy]

has 226 maiden in 976 overs so far

 

[Kianig89]

forget about WRld Test CT there should be Asian Test Championship and Asia Cup should be held after 4 years

 

[Ibad17]

Sri Lanka playing very cautiously..

 

[Justcrazy]

has not sprayed the ball as was expected.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to make Lanka 4 down by tea here

 

[Kianig89]

would love to see Asian Test Championship instead of Asia cup next month the 4 Asian sides against each other based on ICC rankings who plays who

Like Playoff 1 India vs Bangladesh Play off 2 SL vs Pak then Winner 1 vs Winner 2

as India are the leading asian side test rankings

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Talha bowling really well here.

 

[Kianig89]

would be interesting to see what the abrasive ball can do!

 

[Kianig89]

Appeal

 

[Pete Rose]

Abdur Rehman is a good bowler, keeps it tight and gets wickets. I think he could have played earlier in the series.

 

[Kianig89]

No review!

 

[saeedhk]

Good bowling by Rehman.

 

[Kianig89]

Ouch! that was out

 

[Madplayer]

sanga didnt walk. Cheater cheater

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 2 after 32 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Last 10 ovs 12/1 RR 1.20

 

[Kianig89]

I want to hit Mahela on his hand which is injured

 

[Madplayer]

they should have reviewed it. Misbah scared of losing a review

 

[Kianig89]

and that will hurt now

 

[Asif321]

did it hit glove or above that
