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

[Garuda]

I think we'll handle that fine, as we showed when we chased 310 odd against you guys. We had a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally slow start.

why do you think you can do it always?

 

[Momo]

Brilliant over by Rao.

 

[Sparhawk]

Good over by Rao. Ends it with a peach of a delivery, almost got the outside edge.

 

[lollol]

I think we'll handle that fine, as we showed when we chased 310 odd against you guys. We had a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally slow start.

Lanka bowling is far superior to India's... (and also PAK's)

 

[iZeeshan]

Never thought I'd say this, but brilliant over from Rao.

 

[iZeeshan]

Lanka bowling is far superior to India's... (and also PAK's)

Agreed.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

Come on Wahab
you'll do well now!

 

[Sparhawk]

Wahab replacing tanvir, good start by him.

 

[Momo]

I am a fan of Rao's bowling but not his fielding. He is really butter-fingered and lazy when it comes to fielding.

 

[Hash]

MUCH better over by Wahab.

Good stuff.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

good over Wahab!

 

[iZeeshan]

Excellent over from Wahab. Only 3 from it.

 

[pixaar]

question.
how has Pakistan handled Murali in the past?

 

[iZeeshan]

41-1 after 9.

 

[lollol]

I think its pressure that is coming to Wahab.

Against BAN & ZIM he didnt bowl these wide deliveries.

His 2nd overs looks good, but when he sprays these wide deliveries again, captain should talk to him

 

[lollol]

Wow, afridi

 

[Sparhawk]

Brilliant fielding by afridi, ouch he might have injured himself.

 

[sehban]

need to keep things tight ...so far they have done well in the last few overs
just need wickets of these and i think so pak should be able to restrict srilanka to moderate score

 

[Hash]

Magnificent commitment in the field by Afridi.

That's what we like to see.

 

[Inswinger]

question.
how has Pakistan handled Murali in the past?

MoYo seems to be the only one who can play spin bowling very well.

 

[Sparhawk]

No he's fine.

 

[Poison]

hello peeps, just started watching.
Good decision to bowl first, cause i think we could chase anything in the vicinity of 300 on this track, regardless of muralichucker or vass.
And on top of this, Roa Constrictor is going berserk

 

[iZeeshan]

What the hell!? RAO ()**%()()#*()#@*)($)(%**#)(_*@_)*%)(%^*()$*

 

[Sparhawk]

Srilankans are targetting rao now.

 

[Inswinger]

Man the outfields in our grounds are very rough. Wouldnt be surprised if these guys get burns from diving.

 

[Inswinger]

Wow even Arun Lal realizes hat Rao has no pace and hes from India!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[pixaar]

MoYo seems to be the only one who can play spin bowling very well.

okay.shouldn't be much of a problem on these pitches though.
good luck pak.

 

[Poison]

Good to see Roa trying the short ball, he has enough pace to trouble any batsman.

 

[Sparhawk]

8 off that over. 49/1 after 50 overs.

This is a dangerous partnership.

 

[iZeeshan]

Especially with the extra spinner, we should have been bowling 2nd.

 

[Momo]

MoYo seems to be the only one who can play spin bowling very well.

MoYo used to have plenty of trouble with Murali some years ago.
I believe Younis will play him better than MoYo.

 

[moumotta]

8 off that over. 49/1 after 50 overs.

You wish

 

[dblock]

I still don't know why we are bowling first.

I think it was a poor presumptive decision.

Playing right into Sri Lanka's hands. Hope Malik knows what he is doing.

 

[McBoom]

Can someone explain this to me that why is Rao in the Pakistani team ?

 

[Sparhawk]

Wahab is looking much better now.

 

[Inswinger]

Especially with the extra spinner, we should have been bowling 2nd.

I guess they wanted to know what the target is so they can pace the innings from the start rather then leaving it for the last 5 overs and failing.

 

[Poison]

Especially with the extra spinner, we should have been bowling 2nd.

tk it ezy. the pitch will not change through 50 overs

 

[TaZ]

Rao is a club bowler and thats it. Its embarassing to see this as the pak pace attack

 

[Inswinger]

Can someone explain this to me that why is Rao in the Pakistani team ?

Because our selectors dont have the balls to give guys like Anwar Ali a chance and Sohail Khan has malaria.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Wahab is improving.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

com on Wahab take a wicket

 

[Saj]

much better from Wahab.

Better line and length.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just the single off Wahab's over. Good good stuff.

 

[Sheikh]

MoYo used to have plenty of trouble with Murali some years ago.
I believe Younis will play him better than MoYo.

Exactly. Moyo has historically struggled against Murali. Younis plays him well, as does Malik.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

well done wahab

 

[Sparhawk]

You wish

lol

 

[sehban]

50/1 after 11

 

[iZeeshan]

Rao is just...(&(*^#*&^%**#^&(*@^&*#

One bad ball EVERY over.

 

[Pak_mystery]

Good over that...cmon boy get us some wickets

 

[lollol]

As i said, rao is crap

 

[Saj]

Rao - this is rubbish.

Get the length sorted. Either too short or too full - awful effort so far from him.

 

[iZeeshan]

Disgusting bowling from Rao.

What crapturd.

 

[Hash]

I am pretty confident we can keep them to below 270 here.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

Rao

 

[Sparhawk]

Jayawardene is having fun with Rao, not good.

 

[McBoom]

Bloody useless t-Rao-undler!

 

[Sparhawk]

Has anyone been keeping an eye on wahab's pace? Has he gone past 85 mph?

 

[the Great Khan]

Rao is rubbish two rubbish balls on a rubbish over..

 

[Pak_mystery]

Well the less said about him the better it is..

 

[hussein]

recorded at 66.8

 

[iZeeshan]

Desperately want a wicket from Wahab. He's bowling well, now just needs one.

 

[Sheikh]

The problem with Rao is that even his good balls are often taken for runs.

 

[lollol]

Has anyone been keeping an eye on wahab's pace? Has he gone past 85 mph?

No, he is bowling just above 80

 

[lollol]

The problem with Rao is that even his good balls are often taken for runs.

He has no pace

 

[Hash]

Another good over by Wahab

 

[McBoom]

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

 

[iZeeshan]

Wahab keeping things down nicely.

Just two off that.

60-1.

Need a wicket.

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

Sohail did well and Wahab doing well here but Rao as usual ruining everything

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Sohail is back- rao is out of the attack

 

[Saj]

Rao the weak link in the bowling so far today. A real mixed bag from him.

Crucial partnership this one.

 

[Poison]

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.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Seems like Rao doesn't enjoy bowling with the new ball

 

[lollol]

Once again a good catch by misbah

 

[Hash]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss

 

[Garuda]

out

 

[Saj]

Jaya gone.

Lovely catch by Misbah

 

[sehban]

out

 

[Sparhawk]

Tanvir picks up his second wicket!!!

Wonderful catch by misbah!

 

[Sheikh]

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

 

[iZeeshan]

GONE!

WIKCET FOR TANNU!

WHAT A CATCH FROM MISBAH!

I LOVE TANVIR!

YAYAYAYyayay!
