Sri Lanka Premier League| Day 2 | 12/08/12 | Commentary & Discussion

thats y i hated this stupid draft system. Wayamba has akmals, jayas, iqbals, mahmood, razzaq, taylor. And at the same time Uthura has mubarak, taylor, damad-jee, murali who retired long ago and shakib injured
 
Good to see Kami is in some sort of form.

Hope he can carry it on and perform well against VS Aus & more importantly in the world T20.
 
If these 2 chase this

This gona be the World Record
Highest First Wicket Patnership Batting 2nd
 
look at the crowd :facepalm:

there is supposed to be a home match later on. Crowds are vital for the success of a tournament. The players themselves love playing in big crowds
 
World Record ... This is the Highest First wicket partnership while chasing .. in T20 cricket
 
The batsman havnt been running properly and yet they are scoring runs at ease. Poor bowling and equally top class batting
 
Is there any chance for both umar and tamim to have brainfarts, helping Uthura to win?
 
Uva Next squad

S Chanderpaul, TDD Darshanapriya, Fawad Alam, CJ Ferguson, CRD Fernando, JEC Franklin, Hammad Azam, DHA Isanka†, CU Jayasinghe, SHT Kandamby*, AB McDonald, LD Madushanka, EMGDY Munaweera, PBB Rajapaksa, SMSM Senanayake, Shoaib Malik, WU Tharanga, Umar Gul

Uva "NEXT" :))) :))) :)))

Its gonna be tough for Uva against Basnahira. Off-form Gul, franklin and McDonald are their key players so yup, gonna be tough
 
Which channel is showing the SLPL in the UK?

ESPN are not showing the matches today. They have footie on. Whats the point of showing matches for one day? :facepalm:

SLPL seems unwanted

2nd match starting!

Basnahira VS Uva

I think Basnahira is the only team in the tourny without any Pak players
 
there should be an own thread for youtube watchers. We are 10 minutes behind the guys here :)
 
Gul, Oram, Malik and McDonald the four overseas playing for Uva
 
I thought Hammad Azam also was in Uva's squad?
 
"Daniel Smith now has seven successive single-digit scores in T20 cricket."

In the form of his life
 
UVA next is out of balance. They have plenty of bowling Options, but not enough batsmen.

I think they should have gone for one more Batsman instead of Umar Gul.
 
Bowling line for Uva Next:

1) Umar Gul

2) Fernando

3) Oram

4) Shoaib Malik

5) Prasana

6) Senanayake

7) Andrew McDonald

I think Uva Next should have played one pure batsman instead of Umar Gul.

I can understand your feeling but remember he has to compete with other quality players. If I were him I wouldve been happy to even get in the 6 man intl squad :)

I wouldve loved to see Elias Sunny, after brilliant BPL, Zim tour and Europe tour including a 5fer on debut. But these are TOURNAMENTS and big teams so you want experience. There is no substitute for experience, explains why :afridi is still anywhere near the Pakistan team

yep ... btw hammad is not even in lanka .. so fair enough
 
great over by gul only 3 runs and big wicket.

fernando needs to follow up with a similar over now.
 
Feel bad for nannes, didnt get a single match in IPL 5, didnt get a bid in BPL and not getting a chance in SLPL now :(
 
Borgas playing good. Looked good last match and doing the same today. Much better than Daniel DuckWorth Smith :P
 
SLPL lost gayle , shakib , botha, levi, morkel , samuels
they add soo much to tournament

guys like david miller, ingram are also missing. theyve couldve also brought in WI players like narine, russell, pollard
 
Malik looks to be in good touch. Great news for Pakistan. Hopefully he is used high in the order for Pakistan whilst batting :)

i dont think quality wise SLPL is bad, just that the poor attendance, and lack of international stars has made the tournament look dull.

Had the payment been slightly more, more players would have been encouraged to participate = Better cricket + More fans(which means more profit)

In BPL many people came to watch some of the matches just for the sake of watching Chris Gayle.

Shakib, Gayle, Levi, morkel, this 4 top T20 players missing out has really hurt the league. And the local SL players havent been able to do much. They dont bowl much, come to bat low down the order
