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

[ChaudrySaab]

Tight lines by both bowler's hopefully a wicket soon

 

[Savak]

Again this what a negative mindset does, you feel scared of utilizing that one remaining review. This is where the players, bowler and the captain has to man up

 

[Kianig89]

Aim at his body mate !

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Should have reviewed (hope we don't regret it)

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah's Risk Averse approach

 

[Kianig89]

Was the umpire S Ravi

 

[Kianig89]

Target Mahela #bodyline :rondu

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Umpiring quality is pathetic

 

[Kianig89]

Show some aggro

 

[Xoib]

MJ looks in ominous touch.

 

[Xoib]

Talha no balls issues creeping back his flow can go haywire once he starts no balling.

 

[Kianig89]

S ravi how he made the elite panel even our Ahsan Raza is better than him or the Illingworth for England

 

[Executioner]

Very sluggish batting by Srilanka

But they know that a draw is as good as a win here. But I don't like this defensive mentality.

 

[Kianig89]

2 runs

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Talha need's to chill

 

[Kianig89]

the team which bats max. of 1st 2 days will get the benefit

 

[Xoib]

its funny how many play and misses SL has had in this series on the other hand our ftb's keep knicking it.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Swann retired 34
Murali retired 36
Warne retired 36

Ajmal age, at least 36.

Warne and Murali both played till around 38.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

S Ravi need's a trip to specsaver's.

 

[Kianig89]

need to get one of these two before 100

 

[Kianig89]

good bowling Mano looking more threatening than Ajju

 

[Boi]

Why didn't Sangakarra walk?

 

[Kianig89]

Junaid's old ball spell need to be right on money!

 

[Kianig89]

Mahela on strike hit on his hand

 

[Kianig89]

why not bowl a wicket 2 wicket line

 

[Kianig89]

80 up

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sanga will cost us in the end.

 

[Kianig89]

Wicket to wicket my friend

 

[Xoib]

Misbah non review might have cost us the series.

 

[Xoib]

Mahela looks in great touch.

 

[talma]

Umpire Ravi is an Indian..Remember?

 

[Kianig89]

innocent Sanga's

 

[Xoib]

batsman is within his right not to walk the faults lies with the field umpire first and then Misbah.

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar n Arnold

 

[Kianig89]

finally he connects one

 

[liaqat]

These two wickets could be the differenece in the game

 

[Kianig89]

the way SL are going it seems they wanna bat once

 

[Kianig89]

if a team batting 1st scores 350 then 95% of the time they dont lose the test match

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Keep it tight

 

[MarkCooper]

When Kumar gave the lecture at Lords for MCC and he spoke about the importance of cricket remaining a gentleman's game he didn't mean himself.

Do as I say and not as I do.

 

[Kianig89]

need to get them within 250

 

[Kianig89]

Haha nailed it

 

[ChaudrySaab]

What I would do to S Ravi if I saw him!

 

[Xoib]

Pak in for a long day with these two and S. Ravi.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

need to get them within 250

I think we will, Juni's old ball spell will be vital.

 

[Kianig89]

90/2

 

[Kianig89]

Pak have been unlucky first with the tosses and now the umpires

 

[Kianig89]

atleast RR is in check

 

[Kianig89]

Mano saying to :billyd open your eyes!

 

[Sunny786]

Shot of the day by Sanga

 

[Xoib]

Pak have been unlucky first with the tosses and now the umpires

won the toss 1st game could not close out the game you make your own luck.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Broad oh I mean Sanga looking comfortable out there.

 

[Kianig89]

96/2

 

[Kianig89]

nothing going Pak's way

 

[Kianig89]

maiden

 

[Asif321]

acha sign hai yeh

 

[ChaudrySaab]

1 wicket please

 

[MarkCooper]

Ajmal must perform. Rehman is waiting for play 3+ more years.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Good to see Rehman continue to flight it even after getting charged at.

 

[Madplayer]

maidens galore . But we want them wickets

 

[MarkCooper]

Now commentators talking up Rehman over Ajmal. I am telling you, pressure is building. He must perform or lose his spot.

Don't tell me he should stay because he did well in the past. You must perform constantly in Tests or be replaced by someone else.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

How about trying a part timer to see if he can break their concentration.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

We need to get Sanga out

 

[Madplayer]

How about trying a part timer to see if he can break their concentration.

we are talking about pakistan here. They dont apply such tactics. they wait for things to happen rather than making it happen

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Drink's ... Get some red bull down ya

 

[ChaudrySaab]

we are talking about pakistan here. They dont apply such tactics. they wait for things to happen rather than making it happen

Waiting for something to happen is a tactic that is going to hurt us like it alway's does ...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar should bowl a few overs .. he is a decent bowler.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

RR is in check but we need wicket's.

 

[MarkCooper]

Rehman is 33 not 36, Ramiz

 

[Xoib]

SL shutting Pak out of the game.

 

[amjad145]

When Kumar gave the lecture at Lords for MCC and he spoke about the importance of cricket remaining a gentleman's game he didn't mean himself.

Do as I say and not as I do.

Yeah stinks of hipocray.

Others claim that not walking is not against the spirit of the game as its the umpires decision .
I personally think he should have walked . It's obvious he knew he gloved it. That's just plain cheating .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Saeed ajmal seems to have lost his magical touch. No threatening doosras and stuff.

 

[amjad145]

SL shutting Pak out of the game.

How????

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Come on Juni !!

 

[HASHAM2]

Asslam alikum Everyone

SL 114/2

Seen first few Over,s of Match
Mohd Talha was Consistent at 140kph

Pakistan need atleast 3-4 Wicket,s Today

 

[ChaudrySaab]

We need to get Sanga here

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Walaikum Asalam Hasham bhai

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Wicket please !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Really boring stuff and little crowd.
