Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Asia Cup | Dhaka | 15/3/12 | 1st Innings

[Asif321]

cheema got all important wickets

 

[carbon11]

Cheema is the best bowler at this time.
Way better than Gull and riaz

are u a cheema jat?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cheema has got 3 prize scalps. For my book should be MOM if we win this

 

[Fawad2010]

Thats right, SMELL THE LEATHER

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to be careful in these last few overs

 

[chui_kadoo]

This chase should be a walk in the palk

 

[shehzadd]

Gull is fully prepared today to get hit vs India. lol
Lets c the tamasha.

 

[dhump]

Cheema has got 3 prize scalps. For my book should be MOM if we win this

Less work for cheema more for his luck but who cares.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cheema is too hot to handle

 

[carbon11]

Cheema has got 3 prize scalps. For my book should be MOM if we win this

gifted scalps

but he has bowled well after crap start

 

[Osama_B]

cheema can be expensive but he is a wicket taker

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Romali_rotti]

This is great, if Sri Lanka lose this one that means they are out ? SO India vs Pak final INDEED...

 

[chui_kadoo]

Less work for cheema more for his luck but who cares.

When you look back at the scorecard it doesnt mention luck any where against the wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

42 balls more, what can SL do here

run a ball will take them to 230

 

[dhump]

ajmal you freaking beauty.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cheema should be given a long run now. He deserves it. Hes a wicket taker and thats what we need

 

[qamar84]

whatever people say about :cheema he pick up all the 3 best batsmen i mean look at his wickets : jayawardene ,dilshan and sangakarra

 

[chui_kadoo]

42 balls more, what can SL do here

run a ball will take them to 230

They wont get more than 210

 

[dhump]

When you look back at the scorecard it doesnt mention luck any where against the wickets

cant get more agree with you.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Cheema for hit for balls which were too wide. He got wickets for bending his back and making the ball rise.

 

[Munna]

Today is perhaps the first time I've liked sunil gavaskar's commentary during 1 whole innings!

 

[taqi]

need to get them under 200

 

[shehzadd]

Cheema is the king. Gull and riaz should learn from him.

 

[dhump]

Cheema should be given a long run now. He deserves it. Hes a wicket taker and thats what we need

also some credit to Misbah for keeping him on when he was getting hit all around by Dilshan and Jaya.

 

[Justcrazy]

186 / 8 after 44 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

If pakistan win this they are through to the finals.

 

[dhump]

8.1 0 42 3 5.14 31

stats are starting to look better for cheema 1 or 2 more wickets with fewer runs will make them shine.

 

[akamaka]

Today is perhaps the first time I've liked sunil gavaskar's commentary during 1 whole innings!

same

 

[akamaka]

bring afridi on, two right handers, and lower order, wont pick his variations.

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[chui_kadoo]

also some credit to Misbah for keeping him on when he was getting hit all around by Dilshan and Jaya.

Yes that was a very good move by Misbah

 

[shehzadd]

What a stupid captaincy. Hafeez already bowled all his ten overs without talking a wicket.
It was not needed. Were were your wicket taking bowlers at that time, Sl was 4 down.

 

[carbon11]

bring afridi on, two right handers, and lower order, wont pick his variations.

he dont deserve cheap wickets

 

[dhump]

number 4 for cheema he is on fire

 

[Asif321]

5 for CHEEMA Coming Up ........

 

[akamaka]

my god, cheema has made qeema of srilanka :cheema

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Guys, Wahab will not be playing against India. He will be too rusty. Plus, Cheema has made a strong statement. He has a knack of taking wickets.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cheema picks up 4. He destroys SL

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cheema the wicket taker does it again

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[ahamedirshad123]

If SL lose this, they will need Bangladesh to beat India to stay in the Asia Cup. What was that about not depending on others, Mahela??

[akamaka]

he dont deserve cheap wickets

i want innings to end quickly, because we are behind over rate, but never mind, cheema deserves his 5.

 

[chui_kadoo]

lets hope he can pick up 5. This has been a splendid spell

 

[Justcrazy]

:cheema

 

[dhump]

his all time best 43-4 lets see if he takes no 5 I hope so.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bang on here

 

[carbon11]

Guys, Wahab will not be playing against India. He will be too rusty. Plus, Cheema has made a strong statement. He has a knack of taking wickets.

no one wants cheema kicked out

he's a hard worker and has lot of heart

misbah prefers him because he gives control and is a team player

wahab is hit and miss and can be a liability with no balls etc although he has more talent than cheema.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Our bowlers have done a sterling job. Cant ask for any more. Even if our batsmen do TUK TUK we will still win.

 

[imshally81]

why Cheema why ...

 

[dhump]

Afridi supporting Cheemas cause.

 

[carbon11]

dropped afridi made a right pigs ear out of that attempt

 

[qamar84]

what the hell doing

 

[chui_kadoo]

The only way SL can win if they take all 10 wickets. Cant see that happening on this pitch

 

[dhump]

Ajmal is absolutely unreadable for tail enders.

 

[Fawad2010]

All out 188

 

[imshally81]

All

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

all out for 188

 

[sada90]

wow

 

[dhump]

so ajmal takes another srilanka all aour fo 188 189 to win for Pakistan.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Good effort by Lala

 

[shahidafridi123]

189 to win Pak

 

[Pak_Power]

Good clinical finish by pakistan.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Game in the bag folks. Pak batsmen can take it easy

 

[shehzadd]

Younis must be dropped for wahab riaz against India. He is a useless player.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should look for bonus point here

 

[chui_kadoo]

SL going home

 

[Asif321]

we should win it easily not a target to panic

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pakistan should look for bonus point here

Doesnt really matter. If we win we are guaranteed through

 

[Justcrazy]

Great , Pakistan should use sarfaraz a little up the order, he needs batting practice before the India game

 

[pakistani lion]

i really hope we do not struggle here...btw how do we get the bonus point?

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Nice.

Now hopefully we dont collapse chasing..... Shafiq would have been useful here.

 

[the Great Khan]

good stuff..lets hope we dont have some brain farts! tuk tuk all the way plz!

 

[shehzadd]

I wish Misbah will not batting today. Than Insha Allah we will win within 35 overs on this batting track.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

The only way SL can win if they take all 10 wickets. Cant see that happening on this pitch

I think you are being overly optimistic with our batting line-up.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Just found out the score. Nice job by Pak.

 

[Love Pakistan]

How to get a bonus point?

 

[AZulfi]

Bowlers have done their job!

 

[JibranAnsari]

The only bad news , the overrate was good today

 

[chui_kadoo]

I think you are being overly optimistic with our batting line-up.

Not really All we need to do is TUK TUK. This is such a small target on a placid wicket. Its in the bag.
