Misbah with an unexpected 6. I could sense that coming.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan showed over confidence in batting abilities of and

 

[JibranAnsari]

[Red Devil]

[imshally81]

[MoinHaroon]

Pitch is very good, they need 280 or so to atleast have a chance

 

[cricket geek]

six by misbah

 

[Abidi110]

Lol @ someone who is going after players calling me emotional.

Anyways.. Peace out man.

I just laugh at posters like you.. who think they know everything

Jokers keep laughing but who cares? and i don't care if a third class joker in his colorfull pajama keeps laughing like a lunatic.

 

[Shafi]

Now 4 by Fawad

 

[saiyan0312]

by fawad... 50 partnership between the two. I like the idea of two anchors.

 

[Asif321]

what a shot

 

[saiyan0312]

Fawad chill man.

 

[London_Lahori]

Great timing from Fawad

 

[Zeshan547]

We pakis just make up our mind to early about a player, look at fawad hero in last match and we thought we have younis khan reborn, now he has 26 of 56 balls., and with his ugly stance he gonna struggle against quality attack and conditions helpful for bowlers, anyone who disagree?

 

[London_Lahori]

Good stuff boys, back to 1's and 2's

 

[Shafi]

First 3 wickets really dent us!!! Wish they score at least 220 and give something for the bowlers!!!

 

[London_Lahori]

Yes I disagree, he came in at 18-3.... he's doing a good job.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Please stay on the crease till 35 overs

 

[cricket geek]

run rate has just crossed to 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka should chase this easily .

 

[saiyan0312]

awesome single.

 

[London_Lahori]

Fawad is rapid

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Jokers keep laughing but who cares? and i don't care if a third class joker in his colorfull pajama keeps laughing like a lunatic.

Would you mind watching the match?

You are spoiling the fun for yourself.

 

[Haz95]

Fawad 27(59) Misbah 27(51) who's worse?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be saved only by Epic collapse by lanka

 

[Aloo Chaat]

73/3 after 23

 

[DrSchultz]

I think they will reach about 230. Bowling will have to win this for us.

 

[Haz95]

anyone know the reason for Fawad standing like 1000m away from the stumps?

 

[saiyan0312]

Lanka should chase this easily .

chase what? target is yet to be set. Soo much wrist slitting.

 

[MoinHaroon]

120 in 35 overs and 100 more in last 15 so we are looking at 220 - 240 not more unless something else happens

 

[JilaWatan]

We pakis just make up our mind to early about a player, look at fawad hero in last match and we thought we have younis khan reborn, now he has 26 of 56 balls., and with his ugly stance he gonna struggle against quality attack and conditions helpful for bowlers, anyone who disagree?

Who cares how ugly his stance is. He's getting runs...and he's playing to the situation. We need some one to stay at cease and he's doing just that.

 

[BHM :D]

These two doing well masha'Allah.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Attack senanayake .. we need 10 runs off him / over

 

[saiyan0312]

sena on.

 

[ammar93]

I do. Who gives a damn if his stance is ugly and how do you know where and when it'll fail? Besides it's not a player's fault if people decide to compare them with someone after one knock. He deserves a fair shot just like a few of the others tried recently.

 

[Red Devil]

Fawad 27(59) Misbah 27(51) who's worse?

Misbah because he doesn't have moustache

 

[JibranAnsari]

Our only hope is afridi..cant believe i am saying this

 

[taqi]

If these two Stay till 35 we can achieve 270

Yes I disagree, he came in at 18-3.... he's doing a good job.

and do you think fawad can score big against steyn or johnson and co?

 

[MoinHaroon]

At this time i think they are ok

 

[imshally81]

2 runs....

 

[uberkoen]

haha what a shot

 

[JibranAnsari]

and do you think fawad can score big against steyn or johnson and co?

No one in pakistan can.

 

[Red Devil]

Clever shot by Fawad

 

[uberkoen]

and do you think fawad can score big against steyn or johnson and co?

Yes he can. Do you think otherwise?

 

[saiyan0312]

misbah is a very quick runner. Amazing considering he is 40.

 

[Red Devil]

2 runs taken

 

[saiyan0312]

2 runs by misbah. well placed.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

79/3 24.

 

[DrSchultz]

When are they going to turn it on?

 

[ammar93]

No one in pakistan can.

I'd say there aren't too many anywhere that can, judging by how dangerous they are at the moment.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The 2 walls are going equally .29* for each

 

[rayfder]

Good strategy by Lankans, finishing off spinners' overs when tuk-tuk is batting. They already have reserved nice amount of overs of Malinga in death overs against Afridi. Afridi won't have a spinner bowling to him in the last 10 overs. Pakistan better capitalize and take above the run rate of 6 or else can't put everything on Afridi and Gul to finish.

 

[Red Devil]

Chaturanga on

 

[saiyan0312]

the legbreak bowler comes.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

9 runs. 6 runs. 6 runs. Last 3 overs. Good pacing up

 

[Abidi110]

Akmal's role will be very important today, team shouldn't depend alot from Afridi today.

 

[saiyan0312]

the reverse sweep.

 

[imshally81]

waiting for Misbah 6

 

[MarkCooper]

Will the posters who criticised Broad for edging the ball to the keeper in the Ashes and not walking do the same to Misbah ?

 

[NA]

Too much expectations

When I said Afridi and co at #7, I meant it as a negative. These two have to be extra careful since there is no cushion in lower order. Once they hit 35 overs and haven't lost wickets then 100 more runs are about par, and 120+ if they do better.

Anwar ali should have played instead of Gul or Talha.

 

[saiyan0312]

last 24 balls have been fruitful. Giving us 23 runs.

 

[farsiddiqui]

Relax people, there are still 26 overs left. They came at 18 for 3. There is not a lot of batting after this, at least the kind that can bat for 24 overs. These two need to be at the crease until the 40th over, no matter what.

 

[Haz95]

Misbah because he doesn't have moustache

Dhawan and Jadeja are better than misbah

 

[Asif321]

murli karthik and arun lal bashing Fawad

 

[07sanjeewakaru]

lol anamul haque and Sangakarra are people you wanna punch so badly when they scream like mad behind the stumps

Sanga do over appealing..But that's out as the previous match's one....
20.3
Mathews to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, loud, concerted pleading appeal from Sri Lanka. Misbah smiles and looks skyward and umpire Oxenford says calm down boys. It was the cross-seamed delivery just outside off. Lured Misbah into a guide to third man. And hello, hello, there was a fine edge there as it went to the keeper. Mathews knew it, Sanga was wildly positive and Misbah was already relieved

 

[imranraf]

There does not seem to be a lot of turn for the spinners. Saeed Ajmal, Afridi, and Hafeez may not be too effective for us.

 

[Square Drive]

Yes lads, well done! If we reach 150/3 after 35 overs, we'll be in a very good position to accelerate from there. Insha'Allah, we'll get around 275, which will be a winning total.

 

[saiyan0312]

Another quick single.
