SL BP XI v Pakistanis | Tour Match | 20/3/2014 | Moratuwa

[JibranAnsari]

LBW. Huge inside edge.

Where are you watching dude>??

 

[GreenKnightRises]

LBW. Huge inside edge.

And Who said that ??

 

[Aman]

Junior Out can't believe some people want him as captain

It's his first match in how long?

 

[Ahson8]

So we can't even win practice games now ?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

LBW. Huge inside edge.

can you please tell me where is this match being streamed ??

 

[Aman]

and the future of our batting gets out

Get Shafiq in, he'll win the game within 20 overs... for the opposition

 

[Aman]

Bullet Drive is trolling you all

 

[desi_launda]

Misbah ul haq batting ..interesting

 

[Hamza_]

And he's out

Umar has trouble against the spinners, I don't know why people here say he plays spin well.

Because he's always struggled against them whenever I've seen him.

Sarfraz,Sharjeel, Haris and Amin are young batsman capable of scoring runs against spin. And Shafiq to some extent, No one else.

 

[Mir jibran]

Umar akmal out

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Misbah ul haq batting ..interesting

don't worry this match will be over with balls to spare

 

[96NotOut]

And he's out

Umar has trouble against the spinners, I don't know why people here say he plays spin well.

Because he's always struggled against them whenever I've seen him.

Who says he's good against spin?

I thought we all agreed that he's best versus pace.

 

[Bullet Drive]

U.Akmal is brilliant at attacking spin.. decent at defending.

 

[Aman]

SL's game from here, no one capable enough left to chase this down.

If only Pakistan had Shafiq

 

[Mir jibran]

misbah n Younus playing together
expect 200 runs in 45 overs now

 

[Aman]

Who says he's good against spin?

I thought we all agreed that he's best versus pace.

I've seen a few posters say it, look at the comment above from Mr. 95%

 

[Hamza_]

Shehzad, Fawad, Misbah, Hafeez and Younis all in a team. Rest In Peace Pak Batting. You need one or two Accumulators in team only who don't let opposition get their wicket and keep rotating.

 

[Aman]

Sarfraz,Sharjeel, Haris and Amin are young batsman capable of scoring runs against spin. And Shafiq to some extent, No one else.

Amin scoring runs at all is surprise enough for me

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

disintegration has commenced

 

[Hamza_]

YK out. Please now go away from our ODI team.

 

[Aman]

Younis runout now, this is going to be a massive win for SL.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK run out LOL.

 

[Khizr96]

time for misbah to score his useless 50

 

[Bullet Drive]

Fawad Alam to come in now.. or Maqsood?

 

[Mr Consistent]

)

 

[Bullet Drive]

I'll tell you something, Misbah does well in warm up games but here he has a nice chance to score another useless losing 50* for PAK.

 

[Hamza_]

Amin scoring runs at all is surprise enough for me

He is good against spin. Shoaib Malik is another batsman who I found stuck against pace but very good against the spin.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Fawad in at 6. Shameful.

 

[Mir jibran]

Younus plz concentrate on tests only

 

[desi_launda]

Fawad and Misbah batting together

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The Collapse started .!! effect??

 

[Aman]

Maybe Umar should open? Can't have him coming in and facing the spinners early.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Straight away Fawad rotating strike.

 

[96NotOut]

Maybe Umar should open? Can't have him coming in and facing the spinners early.

I agree, I've said this before too, UA would do a decent job.

 

[Hamza_]

Younis Khan is a passenger

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Younis got Run Out, else he would have scored a ton and won it single handedly for Pakistan

 

[96NotOut]

The RRR is over 7.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Even watching Misbah on cricinfo is boring.

 

[Hamza_]

Someone should call Pakistan management and tell them to bench YK. Atleast show them the YK's AWFUL odi record over the years. Very low averages against top sides.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Man we are loosing in warm ups now against B ranked teams

 

[Hamza_]

Man we are loosing in warm ups now against B ranked teams

When you have guys like Talha, YK, Anwar Ali.etc yehi hoga.

 

[DrSchultz]

Lol can't believe so much interest for a game now even being televised. Real cricket starved nation

 

[Amjid Javed]

As this tour goes on and on pakistans peformances are just becoming more and more shameful

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its only a warm up. Chill guys!

Save your energies for the real thing.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Quality tuk tuk going on at the moment

 

[Kiri]

Gamage getting a spanking. Dilshan is on to bowl now.

 

[96NotOut]

Its only a warm up. Chill guys!

Save your energies for the real thing.

What chance do we have against SL's full strength when we don't even look like we'll win this?

 

[srh]

Should have played Sharjeel Khan. What is the point of having an aggressive opener in the squad when he is not your first choice in ODIs.

 

[96NotOut]

Misbah shouldn't have come in to bat. :/

 

[JibranAnsari]

What chance do we have against SL's full strength when we don't even look like we'll win this?

Don't worry too much!

In the warm up game you just warm up!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

150 up !!

 

[Afridi96]

And he's out

Umar has trouble against the spinners, I don't know why people here say he plays spin well.

Because he's always struggled against them whenever I've seen him.

Has a good average IIRC against spin (32 against SLA) but better against pace.

 

[DrSchultz]

Misbah-Fawad in ODIs is like Misbah-Younis in tests. Rock solid partnerships.

Hope they don't get out.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Don't worry too much!

In the warm up game you just warm up!

If it was just taken as a warm up, then why not give a chance to Zulfy and sharjeel

 

[Kiri]

You guys need 170 from 120

 

[Kiri]

RRR is now 8 but Misbah experienced enough to know when to launch

 

[JibranAnsari]

If it was just taken as a warm up, then why not give a chance to Zulfy and sharjeel

They didn't want to warm them up..clear indication they are not going to play.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Look at Misbah's SR. Astounding.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Warm up game Misbah and YK shouldn't have played.

Both selfish to play in every single game.

They know that if Sharjeel or Maqsood scores a ton there place would be in doubt

 

[Sakss]

LOL>. once again Misbah picking up the pieces...

 

[Arsal_AK]

Fawad also giving him some stiff competition.

This is why I say the both of them can never function together in LOI's.

 

[Bullet Drive]

11 off 26 when RR is almost 8.

And he's our captain.

And he's on a flat track.

And he's playing poor bowlers.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Why not just turn this into a T20 and have a go ?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Once again we will leave Afridi too much to do then wonder why he gets out playing a poor shot....

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why not just turn this into a T20 and have a go ?

For that you need real batsman who can attack and defend like Umar Akmal, Haris Sohail etc.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Fawad MUST replace Misbah in this team.

 

[Mo_Ahmed84]

Is there a stream for this?

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Fawad and Misbah shouldn't be in the same 11.Its either one or the other otherwise your not gonna get a good score.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

The level of tuk tuk is smart IMO.

They're batting so slow, that if they keep going time will slow down and eventually reverse, allowing them to pull out of the match at the last second and regain some dignity

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah 12 of 27.

Fawad 12 of 23.

SR of 46 and 52 respectively.) )

 

[Bullet Drive]

When was last boundary scored?

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Misbah is a ziddi person who always teases his critics with his tik tuk no matter what ever the situation is & what ever the team required.
I think he knows that nobody can move him from the team or even from captaincy.

 

[Mamoon]

Looks like Misbah and Fawad are combining for another match losing partnership.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Fawad and Misbah shouldn't be in the same 11.Its either one or the other otherwise your not gonna get a good score.

Add YK and Hafeez to the list as well.Man we are doomed.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not even running twos.

Just singles.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Looks like Misbah and Fawad are combining for another match losing partnership.

True that.I would take Harris over Fawad any-day anywhere.

 

[Mamoon]

Fawad also giving him some stiff competition.

This is why I say the both of them can never function together in LOI's.

Said this long ago before I was labelled a hater. Fawad is a superior version of Misbah, nothing more and he is a fitting replacement. Both of together in the same lineup when you have dynamic batsmen like Maqsood and Haris on the bench is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Get rid of Misbah and Fawad should be the ONLY stabilizer.

This team needs lefties. So bring in Haris.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Typical defensive approach of leaving everything till the end :/

 

[junaid.ahmed]

so they are relying on afridi who will come & play like he played ag bang
Every day is not a sunday yar
