Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Test 1 - Day 2

[Waheed_one]

just wondering, how is that funny?

this the first time i have Cricinfo headline prasing any Pak players like this irony for me

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

koyi out hoya

 

[Waheed_one]

Nahi

 

[samisback]

asif deserves another 3 wickets...bowling beautifully....
32 for 4

 

[mooz]

nobody takes on danish's arm.. nobody.

 

[Waheed_one]

asif deserves another 3 wickets...bowling beautifully....
32 for 4

I think he deserve another 700 test criekt wickets

 

[PlanetPakistan]

well these 2 cant bowl forever! so at end we will have A Razzaq then who will bowl from the other end?

 

[samisback]

bowleddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[Waheed_one]

well these 2 cant bowl forever! so at end we will have A Razzaq then who will bowl from the other end?

I suggested taking on out early bring in razzaq and then taking the other out and bring back the one before

 

[AT1]

does anyone know when lunch is?

 

[Big Mac]

Bowled him! Asif gets the ball to come back into Samaraweera and he leaves the ball and it cannons into middle and leg.

32/5

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

actually, we'll have to face that indians are mad about cricket.. they make up 1/5th of the global population.. maybe thats why cricinfo is more of a CRICINDFO.. I mean these guys spend heck of a lot of money on this sport. Their players are 100 times better paid than some pak players due to endorsements.. so I think before we say that most cricket sites are indian dominated.. we need to unfortunately look at the demographics also..
Also, how much I wish that we Pakistanis could support our players the same way by actual private company endorsements, and providing more funds to the game we love.

 

[samisback]

msasive inswinger by asif bowls samaraveera who left it ball takes leg stump massive inswing
asifffffffffff cheeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaaah outtttttttttttttttttttttt


oooooooooo baleyyyyyyyyyy baleyyyyyyyyyy o shaaaaaaaaa shavaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

32 for 5

 

[Waheed_one]

Mohammad Asif to Samaraweera, OUT

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

omg what a delivery by asif

 

[mooz]

50 all out definetly on. Provided Asif can bowl another 5 overs in this spell.

 

[Amir]

MAharoof to me cannot play well in seaming conditions.

 

[RumiNYC]

oh my ! ASIF..so i guessed rite..HE AINT FLUKE =)

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

Bowled.. Oh Maan I Wish I Was Watching This!!!

 

[sneekysneeky]

32-5 in 8 overs

[Imy]

I fully agree with you ..my point that was the first time i have ever seen a Pak player being praised on circinfdfo. it was ironic to me...

YOu are very right about this

 

[RumiNYC]

whoever is watching it live..tell me , how does weather looks like..can they get atleast 50+ over today ? and it's game worth for stayin' up late ? i'm in new york..

 

[mooz]

I am a little dissapointed that Asif hasn't sent any of the stumps cartwheeling yet, like he did at Karachi.

 

[Waheed_one]

oh my ! ASIF..so i guessed rite..HE AINT FLUKE =)

Hello Fellow NYEer

 

[octavian]

anyone has a link for the match ? winamp ?

 

[kablooee87]

32-5 in 8 overs

bhai vah

Actually it's 13 overs.

 

[samisback]

I think he deserve another 700 test criekt wickets

Amen to that



still 50 all out is on , dont forget who predictied it first

another loud apeal their was a noise...umpire says no what a brilliant out swinger this time by asif

 

[Bailan]

whoever is watching it live..tell me , how does weather looks like..can they get atleast 50+ over today ? and it's game worth for stayin' up late ? i'm in new york..

the sun is shining but its like monson i guess, so the rain can come out of no where ...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Asif to Samaraweera, out Bowled!! what a delivery! pitched outside off and nipped back in, Samaraweera offers no shot and the ball crashes on the middle and leg! Sri Lanka in deep trouble!

is this fo real??

 

[samisback]

sorry it was gul this time for a change

need dilshan now and defends.....

32 for 5

over half of his wickets (asif) have been clean bowled!

 

[Amir]

oh its real

 

[RumiNYC]

alllllllllrite...i got some buddy from NY...guess i'm not the only nightowl here :]

 

[Big Mac]

That was the perfect example of the commentator's curse. First Manjrekar tells the viewers to watch Samaraweera as he's got the best technique of the Sri Lankan team for these conditions and they show a little graphic showing his average to be 89.38 at this ground. Then next ball Asif pitches the ball outside offstump, Samaraweera leaves the ball only to see it jag back and hit middle and leg

 

[Waheed_one]

alllllllllrite...i got some buddy from NY...guess i'm not the only nightowl here :]

you bet dude..........I have midterm tomorrow but it is worth not studying for it

 

[samisback]

i reckon swapping gul with razi, asif we all know is capable enough to bowl longer spells and he had a nice 20 minute break when the rain came down , so hopefully can bowl another 5 overs easy


33 for 5

 

[sneekysneeky]

Actually it's 13 overs.

my bad

 

[Waheed_one]

33 for 5

wouldn't putting to much stress on him..........try to avoid him from injuries?

 

[samisback]

dilshan looks over aggresive going for his shots lets see what asif can do, asif giiving him some sweet talk (sledging) ) ha ha ha ha h pisses dilshan lets see next ball what he can do.......(asif has a perfect fast bowlers attitutde)

[RumiNYC]

i wonder how many runs i need to get [ ODI STAR ] STATUS LIKE BIG MAC.....i hate bein' emarging....hell i'm already 28 yrs old..not 16...

 

[octavian]

whats wrong with Moyo why is he not in the team ?

 

[Waheed_one]

i wonder how many runs i need to get [ ODI STAR ] STATUS LIKE BIG MAC.....i hate bein' emarging....hell i'm already 28 yrs old..not 16...

Oh yea how do you get promoted?

 

[samisback]

wouldn't putting to much stress on him..........try to avoid him from injuries?

i belive if injuries are going to happen then they can happen at any time, in the gym, in the car park or perhaps even in the bed the conditions are much more cooler courtesy rain so not your typical lankan weather........and asif is bowling well in rythem....but saying that lets see what are our cheetas can do

last ball coming up and wow another out swinger beats the beat...unlucky asif.....

34 for 5

 

[samisback]

Oh yea how do you get promoted?

[octavian]

[RumiNYC]

[samisback]

i dont know why gul and razi are bowling short..................need to pitch it up.......learn something from asif GODDAMNIT!!

[Amir]

Razzaq is bowling way too short.

 

[sneekysneeky]

this is getting boring now.........

61 for 5

ya im going to sleep... night

 

[kablooee87]

Chappel not happy with Inzi.

I'm inclined to agree with him. Although, I can see Inzi's thinking in this. This may yet yeild a wicket, but it wouldn't be my choice of field.

Then again, maybe they have a team stradegy that will take time to form.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

interesting posts I must say in the last litle while.. I think they need to get freedi in and asif on the other end.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]
