Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 3rd Test | Sharjah | 18/01/14 | Day 3

[King Cobra]

One thing is for sure Pakistan will not get any lead before Tea tomorrow.

 

[saiyan0312]

wow in session three shezad has made 27 runs from 32 balls with a SR of 84. Well done.

 

[ekpakistani]

Somethings gotta give now .. Shezzy is on the attack now

 

[ekpakistani]

Misbah should atleast rotate the strike .. tuk tuk is useless

 

[Sam18696]

Looks like misbah is also looking to play big shots

 

[ekpakistani]

giving one ball in an over to Shezzy ... is not good strategy ... misbah rotate the strike

 

[ekpakistani]

ok 20 overs remaining .. lets aim for 100? 5 an over?

 

[ekpakistani]

this is crucial over ..

 

[Kianig89]

Sweeps

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Shehzad looking good out there

 

[MarkCooper]

Shehzad is FULL of confidence. He feels he cannot get out.

 

[saiyan0312]

shezad SR enters 50. The guys is going aggressive.

 

[Sam18696]

What a shot

 

[ekpakistani]

good .. 8 over first of the last 20 overs .. 92 now from 19 overs

 

[saiyan0312]

shezad after hundred going at 30 runs from 29 balls.

 

[ekpakistani]

misbah rotate the strike pls

 

[MarkCooper]

Tuk Tuk must be thinking "slow down, calm down" lol

 

[Boi]

Shoddy camera work

 

[saiyan0312]

more from shezad. weird sweep.

 

[ekpakistani]

nice shot ..4

 

[razabbas]

What herath is doing ?

 

[MarkCooper]

Why is Herath bowling down the leg side like this

 

[MarkCooper]

Why is he bowling there its free runs

 

[Kianig89]

Sweeps again

 

[saiyan0312]

Well his highest score is very good.

 

[Boi]

Shehzad will enjoy that drinks break for sure

 

[Kianig89]

need a daddy hundred now!

 

[ekpakistani]

9 off the over .. so 83 from last 18 overs .. well played boyzz

 

[saiyan0312]

9 from the over. herath has lost it. bowling too much defensive. he is becoming predictable.

 

[ekpakistani]

17 off the last two overs .. 18 overs and 83 runs needed .. come on boyzzzz

 

[HASHAM2]

18 Over,s Still left in Day

60 More Runs If Shahzad Stay till end

229/3 Currently 290 Till end

Than 140 Will left
Bat Till last Hour of 4th Day and Take lead of 150

Still Pakistan have Outside Change But Winning is still very Thought
we can Win if Pakistan Bowler,s Bowl out SL in 2nd Session,s on 5th Day

 

[Kianig89]

That is what we hoped when Umar made the test side but he didn't settled we are left with all tuk tuks

 

[Sam18696]

Man. That was some pathetic bowling by Herath

 

[ekpakistani]

Pakistan has successfully avoided follow on .. and with SL having a lead of 199 runs .. their bowling is atrocious ... they should attack a bit more

 

[Kianig89]

this type of innings is the game changer just stick there buddy

 

[Sam18696]

Need double ton from shezzy

 

[saiyan0312]

oh we have avoided the follow on. YAY!!!

 

[ekpakistani]

AS should target to reach 200 by end of play ..

 

[Kianig89]

Ranjit Sir

 

[saiyan0312]

come on shezad. innings like these can make careers.

 

[razabbas]

Can shehzad score another 60 runs ?

 

[saiyan0312]

50 more runs from 19 overs. We need that.

 

[ekpakistani]

new ball to be crucial .. if SL take the new ball then would be a treat to watch Shezzy play strokes ..

 

[razabbas]

I hope after scoring double century shehzad shows a chit written "Yaah sarfraz say nah"

 

[CalculatedRisk]

After getting two dismissals on the leg side, SL now going for this strange defensive option.

 

[ekpakistani]

80 runs required off last 17 overs .. come on boyzzz

 

[saiyan0312]

I hope after scoring double century shehzad shows a chit written "Yaah sarfraz say nah"

Then he set his standards higher then ramdin who showed it after a hundred.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

I wonder where the usual Misbah bashers are?

 

[saiyan0312]

80 runs required off last 17 overs .. come on boyzzz

i will be happy with 50 as long as wicket doesnt fall.

 

[ekpakistani]

77 runs required off last 16 overs

 

[ekpakistani]

i will be happy with 50 as long as wicket doesnt fall.

yaar . asking for 80 .. we would probably get 50 lets see .. 77 now off last 16

 

[ekpakistani]

SL should take the new ball .. as Misbah can't play new ball very well . dumb tactics by SL really

 

[Kianig89]

new ball available

 

[saiyan0312]

no new ball. Srilanka needs to get their act together.

 

[Asif321]

have to get these 88 quickly

 

[ekpakistani]

4 runs .. nice shot

 

[CalculatedRisk]

the camera work is so unprofessional

 

[Kianig89]

going gung ho

 

[saiyan0312]

shezad moves to 144... after hundred 44 from 38 balls.

 

[Kianig89]

easy boy easy

 

[Kianig89]

ample time left

 

[ekpakistani]

70 runs now required in 15 overs .. come on boysss

 

[Kianig89]

the longer Sheezy stays our chances are bright

 

[razabbas]

53 from 67 balls

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 242/3

Good positive batting and intent been shown here by pakistan.

 

[razabbas]

why they are bowling on leg side ?

 

[Kianig89]

single taken

 

[khalil1986]

Good stuff but still puzzled by approach in first session if we batted with a bit more intent lead deficit would have been smaller.

Anyway lets keep this up till end of day and than continue till tea tomorrow.

 

[Kianig89]

if i was Sl would take the new ball

 

[HASHAM2]

mISBAH Should Hit some Sixes on This Ground

Little Ground

Even Misbah Miss Hit will Go For Six

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Great to see some intent !!

 

[razabbas]

WTH sheezzzzyyy u throwed it away

 

[HASHAM2]

Shahzad Reverse Sweap and Gone

 

[saiyan0312]

goos work by misbah too. taking singles and giving shezad the strike.

 

[RehanG]

[saiyan0312]

OH NO... threw it away.

 

[Kianig89]

[ekpakistani]

[Asif321]

[Haroon786]

Worst player of the reverse sweep ever.
