Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Asia Cup Final 2014 | Dhaka | 8/3/2014 | Pakistan Innings

[Bilal7]

prediction went wrong . maiden from angelo

Yeah, I'm clearly no bookie.

5 runs in the next over.

 

[Kianig89]

Saw on ARY News last night illegal betting will around 30 Billion for the final and Pak are favs.

 

[WebGuru]

Only 1 run in 2 overs of sir perera

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan lack dynamic middle order

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah ko to bahana chahye slow khelne kaaa... must be very happy

 

[the Great Khan]

Just gotta play it smart..settle in and keep wicjets..

 

[castortroy]

Most teams, especially India would still be positive in this situation.

We have no middle ground

 

[saiyan0312]

Their fielders are tight. Singles are not on offer.

 

[Kianig89]

Mathews churning out some cheap overs !!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Shame the early wicket has totally killed the momentum.

Misbah and Fawad has no choice but to Tuk Tuk Tuk to 35th over and If we are lucky the score will be 130/3. Then they will expect Afridi and Umar Akmal to come and score big and most likely they will fail. Expect 170 type total.

 

[saiyan0312]

Only 1 run in 2 overs of sir perera

remember the hattrick.

 

[imranraf]

I can see Fawad succumbing to the slow run rate pressure. Misbah needs to learn to rotate strike. This is where Misbah lacks compared to the best batsmen in the game.

 

[Haz95]

Today's cameraman taking a leaf out of the South African cameraman's book with his crowd shots

THAT IS MAJESTIC QUALITY! Where are you watching it on?

 

[Kianig89]

7 fielders in the ring

 

[cricket geek]

partnership of 20 between these two tuk tuk batsmen in 9.3 overs or 57 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

When pakistan lost semi final in last WC , that is time the planning should have started , but they were not bothered .

 

[Kianig89]

2 taken !!

 

[Haz95]

good strategy by Misbah not lose any wickets till drinks

lol this is why people call Misbah tuk tuk

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Misbah is such a pathetic loser, not evn rotating the strike. Fawad Alam not rotating strike instead trying to play shots and being put under pressure unnecessarily. When Misbah is dropped I'll distribute sweets in my area.

They have more close fielders and don't allow singles.

 

[Red Devil]

Almost a mix up

 

[saiyan0312]

2 from the over... Sooner or later we will have to do something.

 

[imranraf]

two runs off the over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

You mean the man of the match against India? Where his counterpart Kohli failed at 3? Also just won man of the series for his 3 centuries vs SL in UAE. Knee jerk reaction at it's best.

Not really..the ball didnt swing at all in uae. When it swings he is a sitting duck and all number 3 must counter the swing. He is an insult to all the batsmen at number 3 and i have maintained this for a long time. Not kneejerk.

 

[the Great Khan]

Need to be around 150-3 by 32 over..then we cab get to 250 odd.

 

[Shafi]

Run rate is 2.70. Still could not be relax to be in the crease.

 

[Justcrazy]

useless game now . Lanka likely to win unless they also play spine less stuff

 

[JibranAnsari]

I am sensing a wicket this over.

 

[imranraf]

This is definitely not a patta pitch.

 

[Ibad17]

We need Misbah to stay there for long time.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Some fans deserve here deserve the likes of Hafeez rather than bashing the pathetic shots by the top 3, Misbahs being bashed for not rotating strike ..

 

[imranraf]

Misbah takes a single finally.

 

[imshally81]

Single by Misbah... After long time...

 

[saiyan0312]

single...

 

[Justcrazy]

lets see how good would 8 bowlers serve pakistan

 

[cricket geek]

Need to be around 150-3 by 32 over..then we cab get to 250 odd.

so you are expecting 110 runs in next 17 overs.

 

[OZGOD]

THAT IS MAJESTIC QUALITY! Where are you watching it on?

On my laptop using Slingbox with the Willow HD channel.

 

[rayfder]

Misbah takes a single, a loud cheer by the crowd, this is like a six on tuk-tuk standards.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can this guy bat a bit ?

 

[saiyan0312]

Some fans deserve here deserve the likes of Hafeez rather than bashing the pathetic shots by the top 3, Misbahs being bashed for not rotating strike ..

bunch of children who barely understand the situation. They would happily take a 15 from 10 rather then a 50 from 70.

 

[OZGOD]

And Misbah plays five dot balls. Too many dot balls.

This is what happens when you lose top order wickets on a road.

 

[saiyan0312]

3 from the over...

 

[Kiri]

Pakistan going to win this game

 

[Abidi110]

Misbah is playing awful cricket he should atleast take single, scoring another snail paced 50 in 200 total will ensure that Pak loose the match coz Afridi is not going to fire today.Such an experiance player should show Fawad and others the way.

 

[Red Devil]

Three singles from over.

 

[imranraf]

Three singles off the over. This is what they need to do at a minimum.

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan plan should be to score 145 runs in 35 overs without losing any more wickets and then boom boom

 

[Asif321]

still angry on decision to play Sharjeel , Hafeez should open with Shahzad its perfect combo

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Fawad has 14 from 38 ...

Misbah has 12 from 32....


And people keep bashing Misbah....


This is a prime example of how personal vendettas abound on Pakpassion.

Way to go.

 

[Abidi110]

Pakistan going to win this game

If Lankas has decided to throw it, then i guess it might be the case.

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan would need contribution from everyone

 

[Indiafan]

They have more close fielders and don't allow singles.

There is no point in replying to him, just realized he is trolling

 

[WebGuru]

remember the hattrick.

aaah those memories

 

[Asif321]

remember what was Pakistan batting situation in last asia cup they collapsed like this on that day too and with difficulty managed 225

 

[Zeshan547]

Good jinx attempt

 

[ChaudrySaab]

bunch of children who barely understand the situation. They would happily take a 15 from 10 rather then a 50 from 70.

Exactly, thank god theres some sane people on this thread

 

[Justcrazy]

If Lankas has decided to throw it, then i guess it might be the case.

Lanka would be really disappointed if they loose from this start

 

[Abidi110]

Fawad has 14 from 38 ...

Misbah has 12 from 32....


And people keep bashing Misbah....


This is a prime example of how personal vendettas abound on Pakpassion.

Way to go.

Misbah has been in team in ages, he's the captain too, Fawad has just came in after years and playing only his second game.

 

[Kianig89]

i heard Sindh govt. had made arrangements to receive the team in a spectacular way on airport lets hope the boyz dont mess it up

 

[saiyan0312]

I think we will have a good platform if we dont wickets till the 30th over.

 

[imranraf]

This is definitely not a patta pitch. Sri Lankan bowlers are keeping a tight line and length. Misbah and Fawad needs to rotate the strike a bit. 250 could be a defendable score on this track. I would be very happy if we get to 250 from 18/3 situation with only one more batsman left to bat.

 

[taqi]

Need to stick we can still score decent here I think that's what both are looking

Sindh govt should concentrate on other things first for eg a famine

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Misbah has been in team in ages, he's the captain too, Fawad has just came in after years and playing only his second game.

So new players can bat slow...

Old players must be blamed for everything...

No wait...

Misbah must be blamed.. doesn't matter who is old or young or new and old...

Go ahead trolling Misbah.

 

[castortroy]

This approach is getting us anywhere

 

[Asif321]

fawad not rotating

 

[Kianig89]

Because of poor planning BY Pak's trundlers like Matthews are darting in dots

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan do not have wasim or waqar to rip through teams and defend 170

 

[Kianig89]

Sindh govt should concentrate on other things first for eg a famine

They are all glory hunters

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan desperately need better coaches , these bunch will take them back to stone age

 

[Zeshan547]

Will there be a bluemoon tonight?

 

[Kianig89]

Our bowling has let down in the last game may be today they will make up for it

 

[ammar93]

Cmon Fawad speed up a bit!!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Fawad 15 from 42 balls...

Yet people blaming Misbah only.

Height of personal bias.

 

[rooster]

Fawad's batting is so ugly but that's the last thing Pakistan has to look at a batsman at the moment. They need someone who is good enough to bat for longer periods and he seems to be good at that.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan desperately need better coaches , these bunch will take them back to stone age

dont worry they are atm in B.C )

 

[saiyan0312]

TBF mathews always troubled us. dont ask me why bcz i dont understand either. trundler 120 kph with no swing but is our kryptonite.

 

[Haz95]

On my laptop using Slingbox with the Willow HD channel.

is that a website? Can I view it from teh UK?

 

[Kianig89]

Fawad hater in full flow he is doing well

 

[Justcrazy]

Zaheer Abbas should not be a coach .
