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

[Sakss]

140.2 He's getting there

 

[Badsha]

Clocking 140 on a dead track like this is pretty good.

 

[Kianig89]

Ya lets hurry the batsman

 

[Aman]

Balls are recorded out of the hand aren't they?

 

[Sakss]

Mohammad Akram bowling stats:

9 matches, 17 wickets , average of 50.53

 

[Kianig89]

firs BB remided them of Marshall n now Talha of #ourselfglorifying

 

[Silverlion]

talha trained by m. akram?

Lol, no wonder all bowlers have now been ruined.

 

[Kianig89]

pulled in a ugly way

 

[Red Devil]

Great Delivery

 

[Sakss]

Beauty by Talha

 

[Asif321]

better bowler then Rahat

 

[Madplayer]

lets see what the hype around talha is about.

 

[Strike Rate]

Talha is warming up with increasing pace on every delivery

 

[JilaWatan]

beauty by talha

 

[Badsha]

What a ball by Talha.

At 141 as well.


140 is really good pace.

 

[Aman]

Good delivery that, now keep it there for 3-4 more balls.

 

[JilaWatan]

talha getting his line in, pace is creeping up. warming up

 

[Badsha]

better bowler then Rahat

Let's see Talha for some more time before judging.

Shaky start so far for Talha but I can see him warming up.

 

[Kianig89]

well with reverse swing talha could be handy but we only have 2 pacers

 

[Xoib]

good stuff from Talha Silva is one lucky batsman.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 / 0 after 4overs

 

[Badsha]

Good delivery that, now keep it there for 3-4 more balls.

You were laughing at him for starting at 130... pathetic really.

 

[Silverlion]

mamoon mentioned a great word - "listless" to describe the bowling so far.

 

[Kianig89]

tbh pitch is like a graveyard for pacers

 

[Sakss]

He looks better than Rahat for sure

 

[KB-24]

good stuff from Talha Silva is one lucky batsman.

Definitely been fortunate, so many edges have evaded the slip cordon & gully throughout the series

 

[Kianig89]

ranjit talking about system

 

[amax]

tbh pitch is like a graveyard for pacers

this there is no movement off the pitch and Junaid nowadays relies on seam with new ball instead of air movemnt.

 

[Madplayer]

no swing nothing

 

[Bilal7]

Is new ball bowling solely judged on the number of wickets that are picked up? Some people seem to think so.

 

[Kianig89]

looks a seasoned FC bowler

 

[hur rizvi]

I thought talha changed his action but it looks same as in 2009 when he debuted, he never was a 150kph bowler and nor is he fastest in pakistan

 

[Xoib]

no swing nothing

Juniad never gets any Talha us getting some.

 

[Kianig89]

just bowl wicket to wicket and hope for LBW since chance of edge is a lost cause here!

 

[Justcrazy]

Nuwas: "Still no monsters on the pitch to see, Kausahal looks so compact as usual. seems SL did the right choice by batting first."

 

[Xoib]

I thought talha changed his action but it looks same as in 2009 when he debuted, he never was a 150kph bowler and nor is he fastest in pakistan

he is less jerky then he was rest looks same.

 

[Badsha]

The only thing Shafiq is good for

 

[Kianig89]

achi fielding

 

[KB-24]

Talha with excellent SR in FC, avg. suggests that he tends to leaks runs ... Could be a bowler in MJ mode if comes off.

 

[Madplayer]

little swing for talha.

 

[Justcrazy]

lanka blanking out new ball

 

[Kianig89]

Welegedera the left armer why SL dropped him

 

[Bilal7]

Juniad never gets any Talha us getting some.

Junaid has been swinging the ball throughout the series. What have you been watching.

Talha getting a hint of movement here, nothing too dangerous though.

 

[amax]

talha is getting some late out swing, need to pitch it up.

 

[WebGuru]

144.3 now by Talha

 

[Badsha]

Last one 142. Good for this pitch.

 

[Madplayer]

silva is so annoying to watch i dont know why.

 

[Justcrazy]

wickets wickets wickets , were art thou

 

[Madplayer]

good bouncer at 144.3

 

[Badsha]

Nice by Sarfraz! and 144.3

 

[Kianig89]

bouncer

 

[Bilal7]

Up to 145 now. Gaining steam is Talha.

 

[Justcrazy]

There is a deep square leg lying in wait for the hook, so more short balls are on the radar here

 

[Badsha]

Where is Aman now?

 

[Kianig89]

this take :kami can dream only

 

[Badsha]

bale bale daal channa.

 

[Kianig89]

Ya target thier ribs

 

[Kianig89]

not playing talha in Abu Dhabi was a mistake than you

 

[Bilal7]

WHat I don't get is why Junaid is listed as LF. He's fast medium at best.

 

[Kianig89]

's leggies should be trusted upon

 

[Justcrazy]

thusi: "@Nuwas: Never say that, you know what happened to PAK in the last match. Only one wicket fell during the first session. It all happened after the lunch. Need to check what they had for lunch on that day to repeat the same."

 

[hur rizvi]

Talha is not a medium pacer, he is in 140-144kph bracket but not express fast

 

[Justcrazy]

Unless gets wickets cannot say he is better than so and so

 

[Madplayer]

junaid needs to give Pak a breakthrough here. He is the senior pacer.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan get one wicket in this session only , lanka would be pleased.

 

[Badsha]

Interstate 40 being used for cricket is nice.

 

[Kianig89]

should catch the plane to Docklands

 

[WebGuru]

bale bale daal channa.

khata meetha chatpata! bale bale ka daal channa!

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka have deep batting here .

 

[Kianig89]

15/0

 

[KB-24]

Would've preferred Hafeez over Shafiq at #6.

 

[Madplayer]

sl will go for a draw i think.

 

[Kianig89]

atleast talha has not sprayed as some predicted #righthandedRiaz

 

[WebGuru]

's leggies should be trusted upon

[Badsha]

Two formerly boring commies, Rambo and Russel, are beginning to please me.
