Finally some cricket on the field. Can't wait.

[qasim722]

YK should have to wear a T-Shirt with a Tiger's logo on it just like Imran Khan.It may help to change the mind setup of the players.

 

[samisback]

yes, Finally something to look forward to

come on peeps, lets get behind Pakistan, lets annihilate Sri lanka, like no other team has ever

 

[fakhar]

let the wounded tigers unleash...

Not sure about that, think all the events leading up to this game, should be motivation enough.

Afridi, Malik, RazzaQ are the key players for me , in this game with younis & yousaf being the back-bone .

 

[fakhar]

i wonder what would have been Noddy's input about all this saga???

 

[samisback]

oh yeah, noddy bhai has been forgotten, wonder where he is, perhaps the Mods would know.

been a while since he last posted, hope everything is fine at his end.

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on tigers

 

[Amjid Javed]

Should be a good game, time for pakistan to forget tgeir problems and get back to playing cricket at best of their ability!

 

[MIG]

Any ideas on the pitch, toss advantage etc ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Any ideas on the pitch, toss advantage etc ?

Well I guess it will be the same again win the toss and field 1st coz both the teams have spinners in theeir ranks and no one will be willing to bowl in the expected dew here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Win the toss and chase, conditions will be difficult early on and more difficult for bowlers under lights.

 

[MIG]

But are the low scores in 1st innings due to simply good bowlers or are the pitches really helpful ? I am looking at our weakend bowling attack with Rana as spearhead (??) and wondering if YK will be tempted to set a high target ?

 

[UJ]

All eyes on YK today. How will he handle it all?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I guess Pak will want to chase rather than set a target but you dont know

 

[Afridi_Fan]

All eyes on YK today. How will he handle it all?

I hope he will handle it quite well

kick-off, I thought that was a term for football. Should this be a bat-off or bowl-off???

Anyway come on boyz, prove to us why we always support you!!!

let's call it a bat ball-off

 

[Genghis]

Basically about 1.5 hrs from now I think.

 

[arsal_pakfan]

We will win InshAllah....all we have to do is just bowl bat n field better than Srilanka...its as simple as that!

 

[Jonty]

ill be here in a couple of hours to join you boys!!

 

[inzidabest]

I think it is a bat second pitch

 

[Uzzy]

A win would be great. Atleast it would be some sort of celebration for us Pak fans considering what has transpired over the recent months.

if pak bat first ,they need to get close to 250...am still not convinced these are sub-200 pitches....teams have looked little rusty as most of them are comming from a long break....The hardest thing for YK wud be if he wins toss ,weather to bat first or bowls !

 

[lakha84]

kab shroo hoga yeh match

 

[Salman]

We need to win to get out of this negative state, one thing for sure,

Malinga will have a blast today.. so much fun to watch, even against our very own.

[zMario]

[zMario]

) )

Sri Lanka have fielded an unchanges side from the won that beat Sri Lanka by nine wickets in the tournament opener in Mumbai. - Cricinfo

 

[zMario]

I didn't know Sri Lanka could beat Sri Lanka... has that ever happened before?

 

[b0wld]

Pitch report Courtesy Cricbuzz:

Pitch Report: The pitch has some areas which seem to be repaired thereby producing some unevenness in the pitch. So Arun Lal feels that even a score of 250 will be difficult to chase despite the dew factor.

 

[zMario]

Younis not disappointed in bowling first...

 

[b0wld]

so wat do u guyz think..if v get thranga and sanga out early v can restrict SL to under 150

 

[jusarrived]

I think YK wud ahve prefered batting first here!

 

[ShowStopper]

Sri Lanka won the Toss and Elected to bowl first.

[zMario]

Ramiz : PCB did the right thing, tested before ICC Trophy. Was embarassing, but they gotta focus on game, and theyre lucky the game is starting now

 

[b0wld]

why isnt Malik batting at no 3..he scored 8 half centuries batting at that position..wat wrong with Bobbo

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

afridi shud be at 4... yk at 3.

 

[zMario]

3 of our preferred 11 are not playing... and Afridi at #3, so hes gonna be out for 2, so 4 of 11 are out..

 

[darkmoon459]

15 minutes to start the match .what is our bowling attack looks like ??????? ayone.

 

[zMario]

Well, by the 2nd innings, Younis might come his senses... and change the lineup

 

[Jonty]

dont worry abou the batting order.. it will adjust as soon as first innings fniishes according to situation

 

[zMario]

15 minutes to start the match .what is our bowling attack looks like ??????? ayone.

Bob: Hes coping well, team is being supportive, whats happened theyre putting to 1 side, and its been a while for them to get a game, and once u get playing its fine. Anything thats happened, we've gotta put to one side, and play the cricket.

 

[zMario]
