Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 3rd Test | Sharjah | 20/01/14 | Day 5

[DonJee]

Azhar looking like Amla out there...!!!

 

[smoothcriminal]

The issue isn't the Run Rate needed (53 from 10 overs) but the bad light. There has been a change of rules and now the umpires rather than the batsmen call off the play for the day based on uniform visibility. So there's a chance we will not get 10 overs.

 

[amjad145]

Go for a big over soon

 

[Badsha]

Agent ravi. Ball tampering.

 

[sjahmed23]

Cmooon finish this already

[amjad145]

Azhar looking like Amla out there...!!!

True . He bats a bit like him when he plays his strokes off his legs

 

[Red Devil]

That's the major worry definitely. Misbah needs to realize this and target Herath in next over.

 

[Aman]

Azhar you beauty!

I think this Negarth over will be the key .. Misbah's fireworks coming up

 

[Badsha]

That's what we needed.

 

[Asif321]

yaaaaay

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

What a shot and what a time to hit it. Four four four !!

 

[DW44]

lets see if misbah can win this game and take responsibility as a captain

because inzamam and yusuf would have taken pakistan over the line from this position

Not in a million years(and change) would Yousuf win a test for Pakistan where they needed anything over 150 at more than 3 per over, even against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This revisionism about how Yousuf was some great match winner needs to stop. Man was the walking poster boy for Phattus.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Need a few more of these

Fully agree. Yousuf unfortunately never really performed in a run chase. I think he did make a Fifty in our 3rd highest run chase against New Zealand if I remember correctly.

36 needed .. 6 sixes would do it .. come on boys
