Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Second Test : Day Three | Dubai | 28 October 2011

[talha3]

the way tony says '...so I think it's time to make a century now' at Shafiq.

 

[talha3]

Ramiz highlighting that interview AGAIN. Did it in the world cup too.

 

[kkmix]

Ajmal is already on 14 ... only 86 runs away now. In the meantime, Shehzada Shafiq is wanting to change his gloves.

 

[PakPosheeda]

btw, we are at the DSC so let me know if you have any questions...about the ground

WS. Yes please can you ask Ramiz if he could be any more critical of Pakistan? Maybe sarcastically call Shafiq a shehzada like kkmix did?

 

[Zeeraq]

Dropped

 

[talha3]

Ideally Ajmal should up his rate a bit. There is not only Adnan but good tailenders in Rehman and Gul to come.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Dropped

 

[kkmix]

"About 5 hours late" Rameez you beauty.

 

[talha3]

Ajmal dropped

 

[WalkingWiggett]

So once again, we make 300. When was the last time we got bowled out for less than 300? (Probably WI first test)

WI second test, first innings, 272.

But yes, PAK batting doesn't seem like such a Charlie Chaplain affair now.

yaar pyaar se kissi ko shehzada bula diya toh koi ghalti kar di kya???

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal dropped


Srilankans will rue this oppurtunity big time

 

[Ryankhan]

was it mathews to drop a dolly? wow big wkt for lankans to drop ajmal

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan playing as if they are in big defecit

The SL bowling is much better in this game - the ball is carrying to the keeper and very accurate bowling

 

[talha3]

Also Azhar said it was difficult to score quickly on.

 

[Watsupdoc]

well played!

 

[IAJ]

Ajmal, AR and Gul are our batting hopes, come on lads, at least 150 runs lead is needed.

woah, woah. Harsh on our man behind the stumps?

 

[WalkingWiggett]

"It's a DLF maximum"

 

[hur rizvi]

by Shafiq

 

[talha3]

Shafiq much quicker this time. 23 off 39 rather than off 90.

 

[kkmix]

hahahha watta lovely shot by shafeeeeeeeeeeq.

 

[sarmadsl]

Tody shafip bating very gud

 

[Areesh]

Good work

 

[Misbah01]

Also Azhar said it was difficult to score quickly on.

Its always difficult for him to score quickly anyways

 

[kkmix]

Shafiq bringing in his front leg too far forward ... I fear for him.

 

[talha3]

Ajmal gone for 20.

 

[sarmadsl]

83 runs lead

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Saeed bhai

 

[kkmix]

ops ... good inning for a taileneder still.

 

[hur rizvi]

ajmal gone...

Big wicket for Srilanka

Missed a big hundred

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Ajmal has done his job! Got little knock for 20!

 

[Asif321]

Aju Departs

 

[bforme]

cmon Asad

 

[spoiled]

did any one think why they did not send rehman in as a night watchman

when clearly he is a better bat

 

[Ryankhan]

well played ajmal. u survived 50 balls. good. its always fun to watch little Adnan bat. hope now serious plays gets started by these 2. both needs to make sure they stay on the wkt for entire day cuz thats wht pak needs today. a healthy lead. good to see asad coming out of the shell and looking to score...........

 

[kkmix]

let's see how good is Adnan today.

 

[insaftak]

need 16 runs per wicket now. come on shafiq/akmal

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good little knock by Ajmal!

Both Adnan and rehman need to support Asad here!

Pakistan need make sure they get the lead up to 150+ atleast! Asad needs to take control off the inns from here!

 

[talha3]

did any one think why they did not send rehman in as a night watchman

when clearly he is a better bat

Do you know what a nightwatchmen is?

Rehman is more than a tailender.

A nightwatchmen is usually a number 10, good enough to face a few overs and better than your number 11.

 

[MenInG]

section of the crowd watching this fascinating period of play

 

[sarmadsl]

Test 4 adnan

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shot! :4

 

[talha3]

Shot by Akmal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Welegedara is bowling good testing lines here!

Asad needs to start being abit more aggresive here! we need a big partnership here!

 

[insaftak]

great shot Kamran Akmal-esque

 

[TanweerPP]

Lovely Cover Drive By Adnan for Four Runs

 

[Watsupdoc]

And the ball wins the race again!

 

[TanweerPP]

Another Four

 

[talha3]

2 4s in the over against the best pace bowler in the lineup.

 

[insaftak]

more

 

[pia786]

Well done Akmal !

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lanka just like 1st test wont bad as bad in 2nd inns as they did in 1st so we need a big a lead as possible here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good stuff here from Adnan!

 

[talha3]

Now shafiq goes for it. Good stuff.

 

[sarmadsl]

:4

 

[PakPosheeda]

LOL Walegedera pwned

 

[Watsupdoc]

Great over this!

 

[insaftak]

again )

Boom Boom Shafiq

 

[talha3]

Run rate in this session over 3. Refreshing.

 

[talha3]

This is good to see. Adnan taking no time to get settled. Exactly what you want from your wicketkeeper after you're batsman have laid the foundation.

 

[hur rizvi]

Good batting by both

 

[insaftak]

3 more for akmal

 

[spoiled]

do you know what a nightwatchmen is?

Rehman is more than a tailender.

A nightwatchmen is usually a number 10, good enough to face a few overs and better than your number 11.

no

 

[Amjid Javed]

lead is now 102

Another 98+ runs would be great here!

 

[Areesh]

Haha lovely batting by these two. :adnan

 

[Watsupdoc]

Scoring rate picked up as soon as Adnan comes in.

 

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan beggining to motor now!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Well negotiated

 

[talha3]

no

lol. I assume you have no logical reply.

 

[IAJ]

That's why I like the Akmal brothers, they don't mess around. Come on Adnan!

 

[Momo]

Finally showing some intent.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Dhamaka Lakmal to Patakha Akmal

 

[Ryankhan]

wow nyce bating by adnan. great stuf. hope he gets a 100 which would be special

 

[Amjid Javed]

If we can bat another two sessions here or even a session and a half we should have a nice healthy lead!

 

[Watsupdoc]

another :4

I think MHK has played a big part in giving the youngsters confidence

 

[insaftak]

more for asad

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a shot! Shot of the session! :4

 

[insaftak]

again for Asad

 

[siccric]

Rameez - Adnan Akmal is a cheeky character


What the hell?
