Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Asia Cup | Karachi | 29/06/2008| Sri Lanka Innings

[Inswinger]

Wahab has shortened his run-up and has cut down his pace, I can't understand why.

Its hot and humid and Im sure he doesnt want to cramp up and levae us a bowler short again.

 

[iZeeshan]

Big wicket there. If I was gay or a woman, I'd marry Misbah.

Misbah has to be gay too.

 

[Hash]

Misbah if i could kiss you right now i would

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

misbah the best!!!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Pankha, Misbah combo! Good stuff

 

[MIG]

The man who can do no wrong....Misbah - Super - Misbah

 

[sehban]

so far decision to field first is working for malik...and Inshallah it will keep working

 

[pakcricketfan]

such a goooood catch by Misbah!!!

 

[Sheikh]

Malik has been fairly active on the field so far. He made (I believe) the right decision to bowl first, regularly switched his bowlers around, and has generally looked to put the batsmen under pressure.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wahab should be able to kill Kapugadera.

 

[iZeeshan]

We had India down 56-2 last time, but let it go.

Can't let that happen here.

 

[MIG]

Although the constrictor is terrifying, i believe he'd be more suited to a desk job at the local university, with his pants tucked up into his chest. Hope he doesnt get a wicket now.

and whats wrong with that?

 

[sehban]

this is good good stuff by pak
63/2 14 overs srilanka

 

[Hash]

Malik has been fairly active on the field so far. He made (I believe) the right decision to bowl first, regularly switched his bowlers around, and has generally looked to put the batsmen under pressure.

I agree.

Have to give credit when it is due.

 

[Momo]

Misbah has to be gay too.

Not if Sheikh were a woman.

 

[MIG]

We had India down 56-2 last time, but let it go.

Can't let that happen here.

Which year was that in ?

 

[Hash]

Kapuchundbanana just tried to smash Wahab but failed miserably

 

[pakcricketfan]

Wahab should be able to kill Kapugadera.

you want one more Pakistani bowler to get arrested??!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Vaas batting really up the order so they don't have much batting depth.

 

[Hash]

and then hit a 4 next ball

 

[Poison]

and whats wrong with that?

Exceptions made for Indiana Jones.
Thing with Kapugedera is that he cannot play anything above 140kmh. In Australia, he had no clue against lee or johnson.

 

[lollol]

To many wide balls from Wahab.

He needs to sort this out

 

[Momo]

Brothers and sisters, one link please?

 

[Sheikh]

Misbah if i could kiss you right now i would

Get in line Hash.

 

[MIG]

Not if Sheikh were a woman.

Ok Bhaiyo - lets not go this route - cricket only please.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

4 koi bat nahi Wahab
we need more wickets

 

[Dhonifan]

SL will not make more than 250 at this rate of scoring. last 5 overs only 18 runs

 

[Hash]

Sri Lanka 67 for 2 after 15 overs.

Good start by Pakistan. We have kept them quiet AND picked up two crucial wickets in Jayasuriya and Jayawardene.

Another wicket here and Sri Lanka will be in DEEP trouble.

 

[CricnPak]

Kapugedera has a good average...for a bowler (hope he doesn't make me eat my words)

 

[Poison]

Sri Lanka are banking on keeping their wickets, cause after this its only Dilshan and Silva then thats all the batsmans.
Hopefully can tear them up, not physically.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Kapugedera has a good average...for a bowler (hope he doesn't make me eat my words)

He looks a lot better than his average.

 

[Hash]

For God's sake.

We are the only damn team which bowls no balls.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

free hit coming up.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Good idea to bowl around the wicket for the free hit

 

[pakcricketfan]

Sohail Tanvir is giving too many extras..

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yep the idea works.

 

[Plasma]

Im not sure what Lawson is doing. The number of wides and no balls we are balling are crazy.

 

[Garuda]

wide again from tanvir

 

[Momo]

These wides and no balls are criminal.

 

[Daoud]

Sangakarra is key. Either need to get him out or make sure we keep him off strike

 

[Rickz]

Pakistan has the upper hand at the moment. Sri Lanka 70/2 in the 16th over.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Pakistan bowling really well here if they can restrict Sri Lanka to 270 = Pak win..

 

[Garuda]

wow nice shot
444444444

 

[iZeeshan]

Which year was that in ?

My mistake. That was Bangladesh.

 

[Hash]

This has been a terrible over by Tanvir but nevermind...he has bowled well until now.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

too many extras

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Pakistan bowling really well here if they can restrict Sri Lanka to 270 = Pak win..

SL have a far better attack than both IND and PAK so 270 will be a good score

 

[Momo]

Sohail is really spraying it all over the place now.

 

[sehban]

76/2 16 over we need to keep the runs down esp with the wides and no balls ..last over cost 9 i think so its time to bring our leggies

 

[Daoud]

Extra balls beginning to cost us

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This has been a terrible over by Tanvir but nevermind...he has bowled well until now.

Its very hot so bowlers are tiring very fast

 

[iZeeshan]

Should be interesting to see how Mansoor fairs. Let's hope he has a lucky debut.

 

[dblock]

For God's sake.

We are the only damn team which bowls no balls.

and many wides.

 

[Poison]

looool once we get sanga, game over for Sri Lanka. No-one else can sustain an effort for 50 overs like he can.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

It has been good captaincy so far i must say. The decision to bowl 1st was questionable and Wahab shouldn't have been taken off after the 1st over but after that Malik has been good

 

[Hash]

That would have gone for 4 if Kamran had been the keeper

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Very fielded Butt

 

[Rickz]

Sanga looking good, Pakistan need to see the back of him asap to restrict Sri Lanka to a chasable score.

 

[Sheikh]

Some stylish shots by Kumar. He's surely the key for Sri Lanka now.

 

[Inswinger]

Wahab Riaz gave up 11 runs in his first over and still has better figures then Rao.

 

[sehban]

84/2 17 overs srilanka run rate picking up

 

[iZeeshan]

Getting Sanga before the 20 over mark would be gold for Pakistan.

 

[Hash]

It has been good captaincy so far i must say. The decision to bowl 1st was questionable and Wahab shouldn't have been taken off after the 1st over but after that Malik has been good

I think both were good decisions

 

[pakcricketfan]

Pak have been unable to stop the flow of runs from BOTH ends..
Sohail Tanvir has controlled one end..but the other end bowlers r going for runs..!

 

[iZeeshan]

Pak have been unable to stop the flow of runs from BOTH ends..
Sohail Tanvir has controlled one end..but the other end bowlers r going for runs..!

Not really. Wahab has been decent. Rao has been disgusting.

 

[Romali_rotti]

SL have a far better attack than both IND and PAK so 270 will be a good score

Barring Murali who do they have ?

 

[sehban]

afridi comes into the attack...hope he does well today

 

[Momo]

King Afridi into the attack!

 

[Inswinger]

Pak have been unable to stop the flow of runs from BOTH ends..
Sohail Tanvir has controlled one end..but the other end bowlers r going for runs..!

Wahab ha kept the runs down as well.
Tanvir's economy is 4.00
Wahab's economy is 4.50
And Rao is a whole different story

 

[Poison]

spinnnnersss. NOW.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Barring Murali who do they have ?

vaas

 

[Hash]

good over by Afridi

 

[Sheikh]

Fumble by Sarfraz there. Koi nehi Sarfraz, koi nehi!

 

[sehban]

87/2 18 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Very impressed with Pakistani fielding today.

 

[Hash]

Pak have been unable to stop the flow of runs from BOTH ends..
Sohail Tanvir has controlled one end..but the other end bowlers r going for runs..!

Not really. They are going at less than 5 per over and we have picked up 2 wickets. A very decent start by us.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Solid start for S Afridi

 

[lollol]

vaas

And Mendis

Yes, he just played 3 games orso, but he is good

 

[iZeeshan]

vaas

Two bowlers aint much.

I mean, India have Praveen and RP Singh and Ishant and Piyush all of who are decent.

Vaas isn't as good any more.

Murali is the only real danger.

 

[Poison]

vaas

Anyoen else hear Gayle's comment about Vaas?
" he gets wickets cause he's too slow"
Vaas is a trundler in disguise
