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

[Kiri]

Taken and gone.

 

[BD Tigers]

Pakistan have no chance of winning this.


Edit- Younis Khan )

 

[CalculatedRisk]

That is why Younis was never a good ODI player.

 

[MarkCooper]

misbah must now go at 1 run an over till end

 

[Logical]

Sarfaraz

 

[Aman]

Neither was in previous tests. I guess he scored 50's and 100's there too.

So what? He scored 80 in the previous game when chasing as well.. a few hundreds before the Test series as well..

 

[Sam18696]

Close the shop

 

[Sunny786]

time to shut shop

Not yet

 

[zabalestmsm]

How come Younus cudnt hit that over the top of Sangakkara

 

[Kiri]

Sarfraz?

 

[Sam18696]

Sarfraz in!

 

[saiyan0312]

oh come on.. Misbah come out and get your beastly ODI mode with you.

 

[Osman]

wth...who has walked out )

 

[KB-24]

Sarfaraz promoted up the order

 

[Sunny786]

Misbah still in it to win it. Sending in Sarfraz

 

[Saurav]

pathetic cricket from lanka pays off

lol same pathetic cricket coz of which they are 1-0 up.Pakistan clearly better in series,right?

 

[Aman]

Mathews getting it to cut back in.

 

[saiyan0312]

sarfraz in. I guess misbah remembers the asia cup or something.

 

[hur rizvi]

LOL Sarfraz promoted as pinch hitter, last try from misbah to keep shop open i guess

 

[Osman]

sending out a guy who averages 15 )

 

[Mr Consistent]

98/3 after 22 overs

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Huge blow damn!!!!!

 

[Kiri]

Sarfraz quick 50 will put Pak right back on track.

 

[saiyan0312]

considering misbah is a beast in ODI maybe he should have come.

 

[Mr Consistent]

pak need 204 more

 

[zabalestmsm]

I hope Sarfaraz has been given the license to kill
If yes then its a good move

 

[hur rizvi]

lol same pathetic cricket coz of which they are 1-0 up.Pakistan clearly better in series,right?

They were better in the series, i am just talking about cricket they are playing in this match, this is down right pathetic to say the least

 

[saiyan0312]

at this moment you miss guys like KP or AB. Aggressive batsmen.

 

[Aman]

Herath around the wicket..

 

[Osman]

sarfaraz been sent out to up RR or for batting practice is the question?

 

[Sunny786]

Look at where the keeper is standing.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another switch hit by KP

 

[Mr Consistent]

:century for pak

 

[GreenKnightRises]

lol same pathetic cricket coz of which they are 1-0 up.Pakistan clearly better in series,right?

yeah Like India were clearly better in yesterdays match.

 

[Sam18696]

Man... Hafeez and Bilawal would've been useful here. If only Shehzad had stayed a bit longer :/

 

[saiyan0312]

101/3 in 23 overs... Our ODIesque scorecard 201 needed from 36 overs with 7 wickets in hand.

 

[Sunny786]

We could have used Maqsood right now. He would stood there in his crease and hit Herath on the roof.

 

[the Great Khan]

think peeps need to pipe down with the negative tactics stuff...this test cricket..a real team should be able to attempt a win no matter the oppositions tactics.

 

[Sam18696]

by Sarfraz

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by Sarfarz

 

[London_Lahori]

Azhar drop anchor, play the innings. Everyone else go for it.

Sarfraz has obviously been given a licence.

 

[Aman]

Seriously where was this Sarfraz before this series

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good to see the intent , though the execution isnt good but it is the first time for pakistan in a long long time. Good going lads. I won't mind if we lose fighting.

 

[WebGuru]

Shop will stay open no way it's going to close today

 

[saiyan0312]

so after this we have misbah and an out of form shafiq who has had a bad ODI career.

 

[hur rizvi]

Sarfrazi ki tamanna ab hamaray men hai

 

[saiyan0312]

Shop will stay open no way it's going to close today

And it shouldnt. Lets chill out and go for a win even if we lose. Lets become the aussie of old except you know they won most of the time.

 

[Saurav]

They were better in the series, i am just talking about cricket they are playing in this match, this is down right pathetic to say the least

they have all the rights to do it being 1-0 up.Pakistan needed to attack them and bowl them out cheaply as they were defensive

 

[Badsha]

Wow, what am I seeing here, WE HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING?

 

[Mr Consistent]

107/3 TEA time

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Anyway Sarfaraz looks much better than the gutsy :adnan.

 

[KB-24]

Azhar just can't cut it ... simply not capable of upping the ante

 

[Saurav]

yeah Like India were clearly better in yesterdays match.

no,they weren't.never said that.

 

[saiyan0312]

RRR 5.5 ... We better keep on our toes and not lose momentum.

 

[hur rizvi]

195 needed in last session, we might not get all the 35 overs

 

[Sunny786]

tea

 

[Logical]

Pakistan require another 195 runs in 35 overs are req rate of 5.5 !

 

[Punish3r]

whats with all the hate for the pakistan team.....if you dont like the way they play dont watch simples.

 

[Sunny786]

Is it confirmed that we will get all 35 overs?

 

[Badsha]

who did our bowling? I missed the most entertaining day.. SMH

 

[WebGuru]

And it shouldnt. Lets chill out and go for a win even if we lose. Lets become the aussie of old except you know they won most of the time.

That's what most of the fans want. never give up!

 

[saiyan0312]

tea time. We come back we should rotate the next 15 and then go for the next 15.

 

[HASHAM2]

Pakistan Tail start with Asad Shafiq

Dont Risk Lose Here

 

[dhump]

I dont care if we win or loose this positive approach is enough for me to see the intent rest will come, some trolls needs to shut-up here.

 

[hur rizvi]

they have all the rights to do it being 1-0 up.Pakistan needed to attack them and bowl them out cheaply as they were defensive

To hell with Pakistan had to do...

Nobody can justify 14 off 100..

and not even attrmpting to take wickets of tail from lanka,....

i accept and acknowledge that they were better than PAkistan but tactics from lanka have been absolutely pathetic in this match, they may well win the series but this match will be remembered for most negative cricket played ever by a team

 

[KB-24]

Pretty much come out guns and blazing after tea. Some big hits will put SL under pressure. If only we had better batsmen then Azhar & Shafiq right now in the team!

 

[akamaka]

35 overs left.

Need to get 100 from 20 overs.

Then somehow through a miracle score 100 from last 15 overs.

 

[Savak]

This is where we needed umar akmal and sohaib maqsood

[hur rizvi]

We should have a go in 1st 15 overs after Tea and see where we are after that, if we are in trouble only than shut up the shop

 

[Aman]

5 an over for 20 overs will take Pakistan to 207 leaving 95 to get get 15 overs.

Misbah looks the man to me.

 

[Punish3r]

indian trolls being fuelled by pakistani trolling fans pathetic.

 

[the Great Khan]

tall order..

 

[Anuj25]

good to see pakistan going for it.they should preserve wickets and keep the the score ticking and go full throttle in the last 10-12 overs

 

[dhump]

5 an over for 20 overs will take Pakistan to 207 leaving 95 to get get 15 overs.

Misbah looks the man to me.

Logically speaking this needs a miracle and may be Pakistan drops the anchor after the tea but good intent shown by them if openers would have stuck and scored for 150+ runs they could have chances but lets wait and see intent is positive which is huge.

 

[Punish3r]

Pakistan are playing well here yet most still bad mouth them.

 

[Red Devil]

Hopefully Sarfraz plays a blinder, Only way we can win this now.

 

[Punish3r]

we need a couple of quick fire 50s towards the end azhar ali is vital to hold everything together.

 

[HASHAM2]

195 in 35 Over,s

85 Runs in 20 Over,s

110 in last 15 Over,s (Than Pakistan should Slog)

First safe this Test match
