[Sledger]

[violet_may]

Misbah telling him to calm down and do some tuk tuk

 

[Bullet Drive]

lead of 41

 

[ares1000]

hope ajmal survives.

 

[Sledger]

Tried a yorker, slipped down leg.

 

[Bullet Drive]

last ball

 

[Sherlock]

Lol, when Azhar Ali was given out, I swear to you, Jayawardene scared the crap out of me.

 

[Sledger]

That was a great ball, reversed in and seamed away.

 

[imshally81]

why they are appealing for everything ???

 

[ads101]

Although Ajmal's doing a fine job, why isn't Abdur Rehman out there instead? Do we consider him too much of a batsman to sacrifice at the end of the day. Surely he'd be a better choice, as if he gets out, oh well, but he if he stays, he has the ability to make a decent score next morning. Ajmal, there's less evidence of that.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

IDONE

 

[imshally81]

good running

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal wants the strike tomorrow lol.

 

[Saqs]

Lol, when Azhar Ali was given out, I swear to you, Jayawardene scared the crap out of me.

What he do?

 

[Sledger]

Saeed to score a big one tomorrow? Lakmal is very easy for me? Anyone?

 

[farsiddiqui]

I agree. I was expecting Rehman to come out as well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Over

 

[Looney]

5 off 6


should go for fastest century in tests

 

[Strike!]

Looking forward to idone's batting tomorrow.

 

[imshally81]

Ajmal wants the strike tomorrow lol.

iDone....

They probably thought given that there was less than 2 overs to go, Ajmal had a good chance to survive. Rehman can actually bat quite decently so they probably didn't feel he was needed just yet.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan again could not touch 250 in the day.

239 in 90 overs at 2.65 rpo.

 

[ares1000]

Lead of 150 needed at least I would think, given that we may bat last. A match summary like 240/400/350/ would leave us 190 odd to win. That is about out comfort zone.

 

[Sherlock]

What he do?

He was appealing, and had his infamous one-eye glaring at the screen.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan again could not touch 250 in the day.

239 in 90 overs at 2.65 rpo.

 

[qamar84]

tony hill you idiot

 

[Fawad2010]

exactly 239 more runs today, which was SL 1st innings score.

at close yesterday, PK 42/0. and today we lead by 42 at close

 

[imshally81]

5 off 6


should go for fastest century in tests

103* off 37

 

[imshally81]

exactly 239 more runs today, which was SL 1st innings score.

at close yesterday, PK 42/0. and today we lead by 42 at close

lol )

 

[Sledger]

200 lead would be good, anything over 250 will be great.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get a lead of 150 and get them out under 300-320.

 

[Hash]

239 in 90 overs at 2.65 rpo.

I agree that is very poor. We should be scoring 280-300 in a day. This mentality contributed to us drawing (instead of winning) the 1st test and it may do the same here.

We have to get with the times. The days of tuk tuk 2 runs per over were the 1960s. All the top teams score 3.3-3.5 per over now. We are not asking for gung ho 4s and 6s. We are asking for strike rotation...SINGLES, that is all.

 

[khalil1986]

Dilshan appealing for everything too.. He's been a real twit in this series

replace the i with an a and change last three words his entire life

 

[mithun_minhas]
