Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Test 1 - Day 2

[Bilal_Kureshi]

thanks cavin bhai

 

[samisback]

ok rain stops play, man this is heavy rain, heavy down pour..................doesnt look good players running back in

 

[Amir]

Rain came out of nowhere?!?!?!

 

[Lightning]

Only one cloud hovering according to Sanjay. You can see lots of blue in the sky; doesn't looks too bad. Sun can be seen. Play soon.

 

[samisback]

lets hope its a passing shower........................and we get more play soon!

 

[Toony™®]

just saw the ending b4 they changed to repeating 2nd ODi highlights..was still raining..

butcloudy one end and clear on the other end..

this is gonna be a stop start series.. weather forecasts predict rain over the next 10 days...

considering sri lanka is a small island.. both venues will be affected.

 

[Sheikh]

Looks like they're taking the covers off

 

[Sheikh]

Yes they are. We should be having some play soon.

 

[Big Mac]

I wake up, turn the TV on and all I see is them running onto the field with the covers

THankfully Sky+ is fantastic so I didn't miss a second

 

[samisback]

if we can get srilanka out for less then 50, then bat today and score 200....results are very much likely

 

[161]

if we can get srilanka out for less then 50, then bat today and score 200....results are very much likely

sounds like a plan

if we had two asif's bowling at both ends we might pull t off, but i'm not to sure about gul's bowling

 

[PlanetPakistan]

50 all out
cricket is a funny game but i am afraid its not that funny!

 

[Jonty]

i reckon 63.. 50 is a bit unrealistic

 

[Pathan007]

i reckon 63.. 50 is a bit unrealistic

i say 33

 

[PlanetPakistan]

any news?

 

[mooz]

50 all out
cricket is a funny game but i am afraid its not that funny!

right. the other day somebody was saying that even a score of 400 is chaseable in a 50 over game. Funny...

 

[Pathan007]

any news?

yes, players swimming in the outfeild.

 

[Sheikh]

any news?

Covers are off, sun shining through the clouds which still remain.

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody ARY with their sodding ridiculous crappy music videos on here. Show some bloody cricket ffs, you've got the rights to the Pakistan-India series that just finished. Show some of that instead. Idiots.

 

[Waheed_one]

i say 33

New World record here 28 all out........

 

[samisback]

play starts again

asif bowling!

 

[samisback]

no its umar gul
ball outswings miles

 

[PlanetPakistan]

PAK players dont know their geography because the ocean isnt that far away!

 

[samisback]

ooo that was close a good inswinger misses the off stump


10 for 2
end of the over

 

[samisback]

4....runs to sanaga

14 for 2

is it me or asif has increased his run up, seems liek the same legthn as shoaib akhar...really long run up

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Gul makes the ball rise a lot!
If he gets it right, he can be a nightmare for the batsmen.

 

[samisback]

ball is swinging, bowlers need to bowl within themselves here dont get over excited...ball down the leg side, one run down to fine leg...

15 for 2........

 

[samisback]

oo that was a clsoe one huge shout for lbw (i reckon that was out)
umpire gives it not out guess whose the umpire


15 for 2 end of the over

 

[Sheikh]

That was out

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

so hopefully SRi lanka allout under 150 today?

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

what a pity.. I support Lankans after Pakistan.. these guys (lankans) are true gentlemen.. very professional and likeable, and educated people.

 

[samisback]

that was a beauty by gul, well kept by kami


down the leg side then

18 for 2

 

[samisback]

what a pity.. I support Lankans after Pakistan.. these guys (lankans) are true gentlemen.. very professional and likeable, and educated people.

excuse me??? is it the same srilankans we are talking about here, the ones we are playing???? the tamil awaaam

dont know how much interaction you have but...........trust me not all are the same!!!


18 for 2.......ball still swings miles...gul looks good......beats the bat again!

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

well.. if you notice, the lankans are a tidy lot specially in stadiums and they don't get too over excited when the camera points to them (a la Pak / ind crowds), which makes them different in a special way. The literacy level is also quite high (99% I believe) over there.. I am just speaking from experience as when I was growing up in UAE, our nanny was from Sri Lanka and she was a very wonderful, respected, and sweet person

 

[samisback]

asif desvered atleast 3 wickets in this over...bowled absolutely brilliantly........unlucky so far in this over..........beats sanga with some impressive outswingers......last ball coming up lets see what he can do , comes in bowls n bowleedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[Big Mac]

Mighty Mo

Sanga gone

 

[sneekysneeky]

GREAT BOWLING

 

[Amir]

Bowlelllllllleddddddddd

 

[Sheikh]

What a ball!!!!

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

BOWLED!!!
Sangz is GONE! THIS TEST WILL BE OVER IN THREE DAYS!

 

[samisback]

asif you lilllllllllllllllll beautyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

you guys need too speed up your commentery, clearly not upto the mark...give me some competition


guls turn now, if he can pick up mahela jaya..in this over , getting srilanka out under 50 is still very much on!!!


18 for 3

 

[samisback]

sorry bilal forgot to add , agreed with your post.........



gul bowling some nice out swingers need too pitch it a wee bit fuller /upto the batter , bowling a bit short

 

[mooz]

I think u can clearly see the difference in class b/w umar and asif here. Umar, IMHO, is wasting these great bowling conditions.

 

[sm332]

man that was expertly setup ... 5 outswingers/ seaming out deliveries beats him 2 times. than same exact line and gets it to dip in. knocks top of offstump. U guys have a gem in him and I hope he stays out of injury troubles

 

[samisback]

beats mahela....i still feel if he pitches a wee bit fuller then he will do the trick...........

last ball coming up and well played
18 for 3

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

aah.. lets give them to atleast a 100 bhai.

 

[sneekysneeky]

man somebody needs to shoot that crow

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

I think Razzaq will be deadly on this pitch.

 

[samisback]

samaraveera faces asif cheetah

and nice shot...................ha ha ha ha @ danish running ha hah aahhahaah


3 runs...

21 for 3

Bring in razzaq give Gul or asif a rest........for 4-five overs then bring one them back again i guess

 

[kablooee87]

Dilshan is asked to bail out his team once again. Let's see how he does.

 

[samisback]
