Sri Lanka Premier League| Day 1 | 11/08/12 | Commentary & Discussion

[Executioner]

Cricinfo :here was some confusion about the start time. I'm told it will be at 9.45

doesnt look misbah will play , i guess it will b ... botha , ajmal, morkel and tanvir

im suprised that he was selected among the 6 foreign players. Kandruta already has some quality T20 players like morkel, ajmal and botha. Teams like uthura, Uva and Nagenihara dont.

 

[Asif321]

i hope misbah play i wana see him how he does

Seriously Mate, how do you remember the team names

 

[Asif321]

Misbah Is Playing


Basnahira - Daniel Smith, Charl Langeveldt, Cameron Borgas, Brad Hodge.
Kandurata - Ajmal, Misbah, Sohail Tanvir, Scott Styris

I guess botha and morkel have returned to home thts why they not playing ....

 

[Saurav]

Tanvir ahead of Morkel?

 

[Saurav]

one thing they can look to improve next year is simplifying team names.too complicated to remember.even non-SL commies struggle

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

isnt ablie morkel in england

 

[Saurav]

Seriously Mate, how do you remember the team names

exactly)

 

[Executioner]

Seriously Mate, how do you remember the team names

[Asif321]

sohail tanvir came back from umrah thats why short hair
tanvir bowling first over ... misbah in slips

 

[shah_1]

Styris ahead of Morkel ..

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

albie morkel is in England just checked http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-south-africa-2012/content/story/574846.html

 

[Executioner]

daniel smith? Borgas? Who are these guys? Kanduruta looks good to me

Anyways, it seemed that both BPL and SLPL has benefitted by the exclusion of Pakistani players from IPL.

 

[Asif321]

beauty by tanvir

 

[Saurav]

timber

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

bit suss from dilshan to not take strike and let a guy who has never played in sri lanka do it, but then again it is dilshan

 

[Asif321]

samraveera captaining .. No Jayasuriya

marlon samuels also has not come to lanka .. basnahira should have either played him then

 

[Rizwan25]

Tanu bowled a good over!

 

[Saurav]

[Asif321]

SLPL Team kits are yuccccccccck

 

[Executioner]

SLPL Team kits are yuccccccccck

better than BPL kit? the kits in BPL were worse.....barring that of Sylhet and Barisal.

I liked the ones in FLT20 and County. IPL too had some good kits and some crap kits as well-PWI and DC

BPL kits for me were far better ... Khulna had worst one .. but rest all were better then this .. FLT20 Cant b compared with this they have excellent ones

These jerseys make me look sick. And there was issue related to helmets. Sometimes poor planning doesnt lead you to Payment issues only

 

[KingKhanWC]

Rr 6..too slow.

[KingKhanWC]

Rubbish over by Ajmal. Wet ball no grip.

 

[Asif321]

tnavir gone for 3 consective

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hodge ruins Tanvir..but bowled by a fine yorker. Not yorked..walked on to stumps.lol

 

[Asif321]

Hit wicket

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hodge actually crashes bat onto stumpd. Tanvir getting smashed...18 off.it

 

[Asif321]

lol wht a misfield

 

[Maximas]

Basnahira Dundee team is the only slpl team without any Pakistanis!

 

[Asif321]

T M DILSHAN Makes First 50 Of SLPL ...

 

[Maximas]

Thats some good slog by Tillakaratne at the end of the innings.

 

[Lethalweapon]

Is Misbah in the chasing team?? with Samaraweera? rq. rate is 10 runs po.

 

[Executioner]

The 2nd match seems so far so good

-No background music.
-A lot of boundaries
-Better crowd

However, the SLC needs to ensure that more people come in to watch the matches. If there are so many empty stands of opening day, ill be suprised if there will be a lot of crowd in the latter matches, except the eliminators

 

[PakFan2010]

Somebody send me a link to this?

Can't find it on youtube.

 

[Executioner]

Is Misbah in the chasing team?? with Samaraweera? rq. rate is 10 runs po.

yup.

Misbah and samaraweera the perfect Jodi. Infact, these two are the VC and captains respectively

 

[Lethalweapon]

yup.

Misbah and samaraweera the perfect Jodi. Infact, these two are the VC and captains respectively

required rate is 10! can Kandurata afford tuk tuk? (with due respect to )

 

[IAJ]
