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

[Statsman]

SL playing worse than Bangla

 

[Fawad2010]

Hammad bowling a good line.

But is it me or did he seem faster in the U19 WC?

Sazrfraz Nawaz said in an interview after a short bowling camp that our bowlers that we will see Hammad bowling faster, a few tips from a bowling legend never hurt anybody

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam provides a bowling option that pakistan lacked, if he can bowl 4 - 5 good overs a game, he has done a good job.

 

[pakistani lion]

Very excited by this hamad Azam prospect

 

[Fawad2010]

Good to see Pakistani supporters here in Dhaka

 

[chui_kadoo]

This is in the bag folks.

 

[Fawad2010]

Get Ajmal to clean the tail, and we'll are set for the finals

 

[Ahson8]

Just came back to see Azam gets a wicket :

 

[AZulfi]

This is effectively a KO game for SLA and pressure's telling on their players

67/4 after 16 overs

 

[iHammad]

The legend is on

 

[Ahson8]

And now Azam gets removed

 

[Justcrazy]

SL have too many left handers batting together , need to space them out.

 

[Maher96]

much sharper in the field today.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Superb start but its not over yet.

 

[Asif321]

69/4 ... goood

 

[Justcrazy]

69 / 4 after 17 overs

 

[Fawad2010]

Sanga is our villain, get him asap, I can't go through another one of his long innings

 

[Bullet Drive]

Afridi won't bowl till the right handers are on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Next 10 overs , SL would like to add another 45 runs ....... and get to about 130 in 30 overs

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Just came back to see Azam gets a wicket :

)

 

[iHammad]

only 2 runs from the Legend's first over

 

[Justcrazy]

Sanga coming down the track too much

 

[Fawad2010]

Hafeez has been keeping a lid on the runs

 

[Justcrazy]

looking relaxed

 

[Fawad2010]

a wicket is on the way

 

[iHammad]

2 from Hafeez's over

 

[Fawad2010]

SL RR reduced to under 4

 

[Fawad2010]

great to see our players diving to save runs

 

[Canistani Hero]

Sri Lanka looks weary and exhausted, cant blame them. They played in South Africa then went off to the CB series in Australia, then to the Asia Cup in Bangladesh and three days after the Asia Cup they have to play England at home.

 

[iHammad]

ajmal 2 overs 5 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

74 / 4

 

[Fawad2010]

Only 8 from the 4 Bowling PP overs bowled so far

 

[Fawad2010]

Edged but safe, bounces off the ground

 

[Fawad2010]

very absorbing spin bowling so far

 

[Fawad2010]

So, only 11 from Bowling PP, what the record for lowest?

 

[Justcrazy]

Good going here for Pakistan , they must not get complacent here

 

[Fawad2010]

Misbah dives to save a run

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam should have bowled a few more overs.

 

[Fawad2010]

SL batsmen rotating the strike and keeping the scorecard ticking.

 

[Justcrazy]

80 / 4 after 21 overs

 

[Foozee]

so far so good

 

[iHammad]

Ashfaq: "SL fans don't need to get frustrated so early, Pakistan's unpredictability over recent years has shown that It can make a chase of even 150 very very interesting and close."

stupid fan

how true

 

[Asif321]

Daikan Ac

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Cringeworthy product placement by the commentators. Almost like IPL.

 

[DW44]

'It's been a cool performance from Pakistan and Daikin is a very cool air conditioner' ... What in the blue hell? Is Ramiz on drugs?

 

[Justcrazy]

Better over for SL here , 6 runs

 

[Asif321]

LALA In

stupid fan

150 may be slightly exaggerated, but Sri Lanka know that if they get anything over 200, they could make a game of it.

$$$

 

[Fawad2010]

come on ,its been a while since last wicket!

 

[iHammad]

5 off afridi's over

 

[Justcrazy]

looking pretty flat

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

A wicket is needed now!

 

[Love Pakistan]

Sanga's wicket is a difference maker at the moment!

 

[Asif321]

take a wicket comon and finish it

 

[Fawad2010]

We need wickets!

If SL carry on like this, they can reach 240, which is a little uncomfortable target for us.

 

[Fawad2010]

:4

 

[Romali_rotti]

lol Sri Lanka getting PAWNED< EPICCCCC, get Sanga and Pak will be chasing 150 at MAX...

 

[Fawad2010]

boundary releases pressure

do you think we should have a seamer from one end?

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Fawad2010]

99/4 in 25 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan should be ready to chase around 250..

 

[Fawad2010]

9th over for Hafeez on the trot.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for sl

 

[JibranAnsari]

100 comes up in 25.2

 

[Fawad2010]

100 up for SL

Tharanga and Sanga consolidating nicely.

Need them both out asap

 

[Fawad2010]

by this RR, SL will reach 200

 

[Fawad2010]

SL are saving the wickets for a late on-slaught.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hammad should bowl 3 4 more overs before the batting PP.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL milking the bowling now.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

The game is far from being in the bag.

 

[Fawad2010]

Singles coming too easily now, put a lid on'em!

 

[Fawad2010]

Next over is Hafeez's last, who should replace him?

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

2 Lefties.

Hafeez is leeting us down!

 

[Blade]

Defensive fields...we meet again

 

[AZulfi]

The game is far from being in the bag.

given our unpredictable batting. any chase of 200+ could still turn out to be very interesting and close!

I agree

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sanga is not just another lefty!
