Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 3rd Test | Sharjah | 17/01/14 | Day 2

[Aman]

Sri Lanka to resume 220/5 in a hours time.

 

[MenInG]

Simple for Pakistan.

Bowl SL out below 300

Then Bat them out of the game and have a go at them during last day and a half!

Thats assuming Herath doesnt run through our lineup

 

[Executioner]

Where is everyone?

The match starts in 30 minutes. Looking forward to an exciting day of cricket. Pakistan need to pick a couple of wickets before tea and eventually bundle Lankans out for 300.

 

[Asif321]

need them out for 300 not more then that

 

[Justcrazy]

Key will be how Pakistan bat , i have a feeling they need to go at about 3 runs an over , that would be vital to rely apply pressure on lanka

 

[DanishJamil]

if they can get them out under 260 that would be great.

 

[Bilal7]

Ajmal should be introduced early in the piece.

 

[JibranAnsari]

SL have still 5 wickets left.. I expect them to score another 100 at least. Pakistan will have bat for at least 170 180 overs to get a substantial lead.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan needed to roll them for under 300, I don't see Pakistan making more than 350.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan have to play at Good Rate too , they cant afford lot of Tuk

 

[Kianig89]

the pitch already has demons its a tough ask!

 

[Kianig89]

early morning n

 

[Kianig89]

A collapse needed here

 

[Aman]

Bowlers bowling really slow here, first few overs though.

 

[Kianig89]

yorkers should be on money

 

[Xoib]

Talha leaking runs here.

 

[Kianig89]

1/69 Talha needs wicket

 

[Xoib]

SL has out played Pak through this series.

 

[Kianig89]

1/70

 

[Kianig89]

Yup series is gone i fear a 0-2 here

 

[Kianig89]

Junaid creating trouble for us

 

[Xoib]

Juanid never does anything with the new ball.

 

[Kianig89]

Herath will be licking his lips

 

[Xoib]

this pair has taken the game away from us. 65 crucial runs.

 

[Badsha]

Talha looks like your average APS school student.

 

[Kianig89]

in

 

[Kianig89]

matthews has become a De Villiers for us no answer

 

[JibranAnsari]

SL avoiding tuk tuk today..right way to go.

 

[Badsha]

Sit back, relax, and enjoy Mathews make a hundred

 

[Kianig89]

1/50* Rehman

 

[Asif321]

umpires call it will be

 

[Badsha]

what did Rehman say there? haha

 

[Kianig89]

DRS in

 

[Badsha]

Missing leg umpires call?

 

[Kianig89]

S Ravi should have gave it

 

[Kianig89]

time wasting

 

[Kianig89]

Shame

 

[Badsha]

Missing leg umpires call?

I should be Aleem Dar

 

[Kianig89]

Kettleborough

 

[Kianig89]

14 out of 15 reviews wasted by Pak i know they are unlucky sometimes but??

 

[Kianig89]

kia chavali mari umpire ne :billyd

 

[Badsha]

Talha!

 

[Xoib]

this has been one of the most frustrating series to watch.I blame geo Super for the bad luck.

 

[Badsha]

Pakistan have been very unlucky regarding DRS reviews.

 

[Kianig89]

thanks Junaid took it otherwise it would have rub into wounds

 

[Asif321]

Talha bhai got him

 

[Kianig89]

width n obliges

 

[KB-24]

Kettleborough, supposedly the best umpire missed a plumb lbw ... really don't get the logic behind DRS not overturning the decision despite ball hitting the stumps!

 

[Badsha]

Agree with vicky here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Drs rule of umpires call is a joke. Should be out even if its kissing the stumps.

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar plz read the DRS manual you are wrong here

 

[Xoib]

rub of the green in this has certainly gone lanka's way.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Talha needs to bowl a yorker

 

[Badsha]

Waqar versus Russel!

 

[Kianig89]

it was clipping the rule is there since the DRS came in

 

[Badsha]

Talha needs to bowl a yorker

Already balled 2-3.

 

[Xoib]

even this new chap looks a decent bat.

 

[Badsha]

it was clipping the rule is there since the DRS came in

Bhai, he is saying the rule should be reviewed.

"Umpires call" should be defined. The umpires call was not the wickets, it was the edge of the bat.

 

[Kianig89]

RR today 3.83

 

[KB-24]

it was clipping the rule is there since the DRS came in

It should be simple, if it's hitting the stumps in anyway it should be out PERIOD. Totally ridiculous that the ball is shown to be hitting the stumps yet still not given out because it wasn't fully crashing into the stumps, makes NO sense!

 

[Kianig89]

Bhai, he is saying the rule should be reviewed.

"Umpires call" should be defined. The umpires call was not the wickets, it was the edge of the bat.

for this broadcaster should have had Snicko or Hotspot PCB saved $$$ here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Already balled 2-3.

Bowled full but not a york length exactly.

 

[Badsha]

Khurram better be scoring a hundred today...

 

[Kianig89]

It should be simple, if it's hitting the stumps in anyway it should be out PERIOD. Totally ridiculous that the ball is shown to be hitting the stumps yet still not given out because it wasn't fully crashing into the stumps, makes NO sense!

Ya this is the law being made by ICC committee

 

[Badsha]

Bowled full but not a york length exactly.

One of them was a yorker.

 

[Badsha]

for this broadcaster should have had Snicko or Hotspot PCB saved $$$ here

My point was the umpire was unsure about the bat hitting the ball, not the ball hitting the stumps, but his decision of the stump was over-turned.


Anyway, that's waqars point.

 

[Kianig89]

SL score entering danger zone

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Did Khurram not wake up today?His fielding has been been abysmal today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It should be simple, if it's hitting the stumps in anyway it should be out PERIOD. Totally ridiculous that the ball is shown to be hitting the stumps yet still not given out because it wasn't fully crashing into the stumps, makes NO sense!

The joke is that if umpires gives it out then it should only be kissing the stumps. Such a comedy.

 

[Xoib]

Pakistan has struggled to get wickets in clusters.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Did Khurram not wake up today?His fielding has been been abysmal today.

Are u awake..? He is khurram manzoor

 

[KB-24]

The joke is that if umpires gives it out then it should only be kissing the stumps. Such a comedy.

yup double standards!

 

[Kianig89]

Talha be the part of ODI squads as well

 

[KB-24]

Seeing the pace of this wicket and seeing our batting line up it'll take 150 overs just to score 300+ and that's if we don't collapse again

 

[imshally81]

Need more wickets here...

 

[Badsha]

Talha has a good short ball on him

 

[Kianig89]

which out of the two should be given a chance or both of them or both should be dumped

 

[Badsha]

Rehman And Talha are bowling well... Let's hope they can get Mathews out!

 

[Badsha]

which out of the two should be given a chance or both of them or both should be dumped

Who are these?

 

[Kianig89]

alot of noise
