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

[HASHAM2]

Well done Shahzad

Great inning

Throwed it away

 

[DrSchultz]

Not everyone can master the reverse sweep.

 

[Kianig89]

Haha threw it away what a waste

 

[saiyan0312]

what an innings but really bad way to end it.

 

[akamaka]

worst shot ever, thought he did that 1st time around , but he made sure the second )

 

[CalculatedRisk]

What a shoddy test match dismissal. Umar Akmal would be proud of such a dismissal.

 

[Kianig89]

that is series

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Damn ... He's gone

 

[ekpakistani]

chalo .. well played Shezzy .. pls don't go into the shell .. continue the stroke play

 

[Kianig89]

brainfart n our youngster go hand in hand

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a silly shot

 

[saiyan0312]

so its misbah and shafiq. No more failures. shafiq and sarfraz must stand up.

 

[Kianig89]

Really annoyed

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Asad Shafiq to play 30 dot balls first and then scrape his way to a scrappy 32.

 

[ekpakistani]

67 off last 14 overs .. come on boysss .. I have a feeling that Shafiq will play aggressively today

 

[JibranAnsari]

Chance for shafiq to keep his place in the side.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Asad and Misbah in the middle...get ready for the tuk fest.

[Kianig89]

the adrenaline did him

 

[saiyan0312]

we should look to make 280 without anymore losses.

 

[yasir]

What was that? - why he was doing it, too much risk for too little reward... Good innings but gifted his wicket, it not like Pakistan is at 400.

Keep rotating the singles, no need to take undue risks. Pick up 3-4 singles per over..

 

[Kianig89]

that was club cricket type

 

[Asif321]

Shafiq has to atleast get 70

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq needs to make a hundred.

 

[Kianig89]

now we will be lucky if we cam match SL' score

 

[Seen Sheen]

Sangakkara gentleman

 

[Bashira_taeli]

I have a feeling that Shafiq will play aggressively today

I hope he does but sadly he doesnt have the ability to do so.

[Kianig89]

initiative thrown away

 

[ekpakistani]

66 runs off last 13 overs needed ..

 

[ekpakistani]

Misbah should get some runs till SL take the new ball

 

[ekpakistani]

Shafiq .. don't tuk tuk pls .. just score freely

 

[saiyan0312]

asad should rotate the strike with misbah.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

SL can take the new ball. The new ball bunny (Shafiq) has arrived.

 

[Seen Sheen]

now we will be lucky if we cam match SL' score

I dont know why our fans start to panic, yes still a long way to go but we should have faith in Asad Misbah and more importantly an in form Sarfaraz.

 

[ekpakistani]

63 runs of last 12 overs ... seems like a miracle with these two at the crease ..

SL should take the new ball .. as these two can't play with new ball

 

[saiyan0312]

SL can take the new ball. The new ball bunny (Shafiq) has arrived.

TBH the form he is in, he is not exactly a old ball bully anymore. :kami

 

[saiyan0312]

what a shot to the pacer.

 

[Kianig89]

now they will take new ball and Asad or Misbah to edge one

 

[ekpakistani]

misbah you beauty .. what a shot for 4

 

[Kianig89]

misbah has woken up

 

[Kianig89]

SL's 1st inn. score is massive

 

[Kianig89]

would be some record if we win this

 

[Kianig89]

trail 173

 

[London_Lahori]

Shehzad yaar! Should have carried on until the end of the day. Pakistan have picked up the RR well and now it might stall again.

This really is Asad Shafiq's chance now and he should take it.

 

[Kianig89]

lights are on

 

[Kianig89]

would need at least 60 over to match Sl score

 

[Kianig89]

255/4

 

[ekpakistani]

57 off last 11 overs

 

[saiyan0312]

11 overs left. great would be if they make 25 runs in these 11 without a wicket and awesome would be 45 runs without a wicket. We must not lose anymore wickets.

 

[saiyan0312]

herath on. time for some leg side bowls.

 

[Statistics375]

ASAD SHEHZAD.


LOLOLOLOL.

Ramiz you beauty.

 

[ekpakistani]

56 off last 10 overs .. seems a tough ask but lets see if these two show some intent

 

[saiyan0312]

what an inswinger.

 

[ekpakistani]

shouldn't 86.1 be a no-ball/dead ball as keeper dropped some cloth or something like that?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Asad needs to put team before him, but he's in a dilemma he knows that if he fails he might face the chop.

 

[ekpakistani]

strange tactics by SL .. they should take the new ball ..

 

[HASHAM2]

Persana Black Magic Will not Work

 

[ekpakistani]

Asad Shafiq .. seems at sea . he should just play his natural game ..

 

[Seen Sheen]

Aaja aaja. .

 

[Mr Consistent]

good knock by shahzad

 

[saiyan0312]

for an old ball batsmen shafiq is looking uncomfortable against reverse.

 

[Asif321]

ASAD SHEHZAD.


LOLOLOLOL.

Ramiz you beauty.

Lol he has habit of calling wrong names

"Manzoor Ahmed" "Sarfraz Nawaz" "Imran Talha"

 

[Seen Sheen]

What the hell its still reversing in 87th over. One would feel that both sides of the ball would have become roughed up by now.

 

[ekpakistani]

55 from 9 overs needed .. don't think we will get there .. so lets reduce to an achievable target .. 30 from 9 overs?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Come on Shafiq dance down and hit one over the top to silence the fielders.

 

[Asif321]

Big shot coming up , he wants to rotate strike now - Matthews

 

[Seen Sheen]

55 from 9 overs needed .. don't think we will get there .. so lets reduce to an achievable target .. 30 from 9 overs?

Yup thats more realistic. 290 is the mark we should be targeting.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good shot off the backfoot. 2 taken by Asad.

 

[saiyan0312]

18 more for 280 come on guys.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Asad playing incoming delivery tentatively.

 

[Seen Sheen]

18 more for 280 come on guys.

290 would be achieved, have faith on boises.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Asas almost always yorks him self when he jumps out of his crease against Herath.

 

[saiyan0312]

290 would be achieved, have faith on boises.

i will be happy with 280 as long as wicket doesnt fall.

 

[ekpakistani]

285/4 at stumps?

 

[saiyan0312]

6 overs and lanka is still not trying the new ball.

 

[saiyan0312]

4 from the over and 5 overs left. 13 or 23 runs to get.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Did our fast bowlers reverse the ball like Eranga did?

 

[saiyan0312]

by shafiq.

 

[saiyan0312]

7 from the over.

 

[saiyan0312]

Asad shafiq to review... I think he might be saved.
