Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st ODI | August 23, 2014 | Hambantota | Sri Lanka Innings

[Aman]

They are scoring with good pace and in today's cricket with deep batting lines this is really normal, 100 for 6 would have been a different story.

I'm talking about the majority, had it been 100/4 in a 50 over game you'd have Pakistan in front. Also, 106 after 23 is not good pace.

 

[DrSchultz]

Too many runs scored. Match out of Pakistan's hands already. )

Pakistan is more than 50% in similar or bad position. Win or Loss Pakistan normally move ahead from this position. One problem is that Pakistan is on 100 in approx 26-27 overs.

 

[aukhan]

Good effort by younis.

 

[Aman]

Nvm Pakistan are playing 5 bowlers, thought they were playing 4 with Younis, Fawad and Maqood all in.

 

[dhump]

stop the singles now really.

 

[Mir jibran]

did any one noticed that Younus khan' jersey no has changed from 75 to 46

 

[GreenKnightRises]

is a quality fielder

 

[Aman]

Was counting Hafeez as a part timer, say what you like but this sides balance looks much better.

Even with YK in and Ajmal out.

 

[Ryankhan]

did hafeez dropped a catch of lala bowling??

 

[Justcrazy]

These two steadying the ship here for Lanka

 

[ExplicitAI]

Just woke up and I see Pak with a new horrible kit.

Replace YK with a better batsmen from the domestics and Pakistan would have a pretty good side tbh.

Even with YK in and Ajmal out.

being out will always make the side stronger , because that allows 3 fast bowlers to be played, without compromising on batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

116 / 4

26 overs

 

[UpInTheAir]

Need to give Juniad a couple overs now, see if he can do something. Bowling the spinners is just allowing them to settle

Yes ....... Play Hamad azam , will get additional bowling option as well

let him.become young with the bat

 

[Mr Consistent]

Current partnership 41 runs

 

[Bilal7]

Riaz is 29! Always thought he was in the mid-20's.

 

[dhump]

Younis is really losing his abilities in the field.

 

[Justcrazy]

How many overs can each bowler bowl ?

 

[Aman]

Yes ....... Play Hamad azam , will get additional bowling option as well

Yeah, Fawad should be batting higher and you need a hitter.

 

[Justcrazy]

At some point Fawad will bowl a couple of overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Sakss]

Direct hit wouldve been out

 

[UpInTheAir]

let him.become young with the bat

He's going to score at least one decent score in one of these odis and guarantee fail for the next ten. His average alone should give hint to the selectors that he doesn't belong.

[saiyan0312]

jaya has a platform to burst open.

 

[Mr Consistent]

7 runs from the lala over

 

[Justcrazy]

At some point Batters may attack hafeez

 

[UpInTheAir]

Spinners are useless again Lanka.

[razabbas]

what a pathetic comment.

Yup i know it sounds pathetic but tell me one thing can u afford

Misbah
YK
Fawad alam

in the same lineup ?

You cant drop fawad because of his performance in asia cup and Domestic
Misbah is quite consistent in ODI's too while YK always fails in ODI's

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 partnership between these two

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hafeez a little angry there

 

[Mr Consistent]

tight over by professor

 

[saiyan0312]

In the air but safe, Man they are one lucky bunch.

 

[Mr Consistent]

afridi continue from other end

Afridi needs a wicket here

I am not discussing this atm but your post was pathetic anyone in green I want him to be successful end of the day he is playing for Pakistan and his success is team success.

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to bowl full qota here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good over by lala

 

[razabbas]

I know it was pathetic but what will happen later on ?

A youngster have to sit out just to accomadate YK in Playing XI

 

[saiyan0312]

LALA needs his 130 surpriser.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I just love how we're playing with 3 fast bowlers.

 

[AnasK]

and

 

[ExplicitAI]

Now it's Fawad to bowl

 

[Mr Consistent]

fawad come to bowl

 

[razabbas]

Jaya looking good

again this is not the discussion your comment was and my comment was only on that.

 

[Mr Consistent]

beauty by jaya

 

[saiyan0312]

Fawad on to bowl. SLA.

 

[saiyan0312]

that was very wide.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Younis was dropped already, but sadly the media pressure was enough to get him back.

Incidents like this are probably going to continue until someone stronger takes charge of the PCB.

There we go

 

[Mr Consistent]

poor ball &

 

[ExplicitAI]

another boundary

 

[UpInTheAir]

Would people be surprised if they drop him due to poor bowling performance?

Sent

 

[Bilal7]

Shehzad
Fawad
Hafeez
Akmal
Misbah
Maqsood
Hammad/Ehsan
Afridi
Ajmal
Junaid
Irfan

^ Would be a very good line-up. If Riaz can improve his batting and keep performing with the ball then he can take up the role of pace bowling all-rounder.

Fawad bowling rubbish here.

 

[Sam18696]

It is safe to say: Fawad should never bowl again

 

[Ahson8]

Fawad on.

 

[dhump]

Poor bowling from fawad.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Greatly saved

 

[Mr Consistent]

expensive over by fawad 10 runs from it

 

[Justcrazy]

Jaya playing Fawad really well

hmm n I think he ll fail in this series n his avg ll fall to below 30

 

[AnasK]

So now pressure is released!!! thanks to

 

[Mr Consistent]

Lanka 140/4 after 30 overs

 

[saiyan0312]

Fahdi was looking very rusty and one cant blame him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fawad bowling will improve if he is used more often , he is capable of bowling 4 - 5 overs every game.

 

[JibranAnsari]

And a lolly pop over finishes

 

[Mr Consistent]

15 overs left in lanka inning

 

[JilaWatan]

Why even bring him to bowl

 

[UpInTheAir]

Fawad should learn from don hafeez.

[Sam18696]

Pressure has been released runs leaking here and there
