Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Third Test : Day Three | Sharjah | 05 November 2011

[Bullet Drive]

Wicket maiden there.

Misbah plays ball so late.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So important now that YK stays in and gets a big hundred!

another big partnership needed now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 133/3

 

[JibranAnsari]

Really bad shot from azhar

 

[JibranAnsari]

should make 80 runs not losing more than 3 more wickets.

 

[JibranAnsari]

38 overs and 99 runs

 

[Amjid Javed]

why have sri lanka got boundary riders? so defensive!

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two need to bat till the end of session and then assess things.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That was a lovely shot, nothing.

 

[ChampLeO]

Kulesekara kisses the ball twice before bowling and kisses his bat twice before batting

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

no boundaries

 

[ChampLeO]

ouch hit on the helmet

 

[Bullet Drive]

Younis injured, ball hit his helmet !

 

[Bullet Drive]

He looks okay, back on?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inshallah he scores a century today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

He's smiling now as always.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sri Lanka have been awesome in the field today

 

[Bullet Drive]

142-3. Poor stuff from Herath, negative line.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is like a wall.

 

[ChampLeO]

Mahela and Sangakara seem more active on the field than the actual captain

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah still not off the mark.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mahela and Sangakara seem more active on the field than the actual captain

That is true, Dilshan not captaincy material however he hasn't had the services of Murali which they have had.

 

[Bullet Drive]

143-3. :d

 

[Bullet Drive]

Little bit of swing there, well played Misbah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah has scored 6 half centuries in 2011, no hundreds.

 

[Bullet Drive]

.. what a shot.

 

[TanweerPP]

Great :4

 

[ChampLeO]

That is true, Dilshan not captaincy material however he hasn't had the services of Murali which they have had.

True, but I don't think I have seen Dilshan go up and talk to any of his bowler or pat them on the back

 

[Bullet Drive]

Herath is bowling leg-stump line to Younis.

No turn still.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Fourr to younis khan

 

[ChampLeO]

A mighty FOUR

 

[Bullet Drive]

True, but I don't think I have seen Dilshan go up and talk to any of his bowler or pat them on the back

He has but not as often as the others and not as often as he should however he is young to captaincy and will learn with experience.

2 series for Dilshan I think so you know.

 

[Bullet Drive]

147-3 , Max wicket we can lose today is 1.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Way too short there.

 

[Conventional Swing]

Younis Khan comes down the ground against Herath and :4

 

[JibranAnsari]

why have sri lanka got boundary riders? so defensive!

lol yeah, Pakistan not trying to hit boundaries and they are keen on saving them on ropes.. ultra defence from both sides

 

[Fawad2010]

66 more needed to avoid follow-on

 

[JibranAnsari]

I would be happy if we score 300. Its going to be a draw anyway.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not an easy pitch to get going, easy to get used.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah shabash anda tore do

 

[Bullet Drive]

147-3 here now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Driven nicely from Misbah. No run.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Guys who are complaining: the old Pakistan would have been 175 for 8 by now. So please enjoy the new solidity which Misbah's team has brought to the fore. As the batsmen become confident match by match they will start playing more confidently too.

 

[talha3]

Misbah has scored 6 half centuries in 2011, no hundreds.

Get your facts right, especially if you're going to post them.

Misbah scored a century against WI in our win.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not an easy pitch to get going, easy to get used.

lol , none of the pitches were if we talk about pakistan

 

[Bullet Drive]

Still no run for Misbah. 0 (18)

 

[Conventional Swing]

Misbah-ul-Haq 0* faced 19 balls.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Get your facts right, especially if you're going to post them.

Misbah scored a century against WI in our win.

I meant Younis !

 

[shahidafridi123]

lol misbah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Randiv on.

 

[Bullet Drive]

No turn out there.

Single to Y.

 

[ChampLeO]

He has but not as often as the others and not as often as he should however he is young to captaincy and will learn with experience.

2 series for Dilshan I think so you know.

Yeah that is true but I don't think he will stay captain for long

 

[Bullet Drive]

Younis Khan on 65* mashallah.

 

[Conventional Swing]

Still no run for Misbah. 0 (18)

I think this is not an easy pitch to start batting. Even take almost 30 balls to get of the mark.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yeah that is true but I don't think he will stay captain for long

Agree and SL should have appointed a young captain e.g. Matthews.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 run to Misbah there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1(20)

 

[Bullet Drive]

149-3 :d

 

[Sufian84]

misbah off the mark

 

[shahidafridi123]

finally off the mark

 

[Conventional Swing]

And finally skipper off the mark.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wow, what fielding. & does he have a doosra?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maybe a run, nothing.

over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Welly on now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is much better against spin then pace really.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wide loosener.

 

[Conventional Swing]

Wow, what fielding. & does he have a doosra?

I don't think so.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on BOOOOOOOOYS!

 

[JibranAnsari]

45 over 114 runs. So we will make another 114 today if we survive.Brilliant.
Question: What would our team do to win this match if we were 1 down?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drinks I think.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1(26) - Mishbah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why does Tony always say Mishhhhhhhhhhbah?

 

[TanweerPP]

Singal

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 run to Mr.Younis Khan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

14 overs 23 runs, this session.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nothing really, no spin. Nothing.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah vs spin now. Great.

 

[Bullet Drive]

When will the slog sweep come out?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Easy single there to Misbah ul-haq. 1 run.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lucky Y brought bat down!
