Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Pallekele | 7/6/12 | Ist Innings

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Ajmal. Take all 4

 

[Markhor]

Come on, kill these off.

 

[MRSN]

that looked closed

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another over.

 

[Markhor]

Decent atmosphere at the ground.

 

[MRSN]

Sarfraz really makes mess of appealing..he is always not sure whether to appeal or not..As a keeper he should always back the bowler.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal is much better vs right handers

 

[talha3]

delete

 

[Markhor]

Our outfield fielding is decent but the throwing at the stumps is poor. Hafeez's throw there nowhere near the stumps which is what the fielders should really aim for.

 

[sada90]

can some one tell me if match overs have been reduced ?? or still 50 over match

 

[Markhor]

can some one tell me if match overs have been reduced ?? or still 50 over match

No reduction in overs.

 

[Ismailtoca]

why is ramiz going on about spinner dominance in Top 10? There are only 6 spinners, very close to 50/50 in comparison to pacers

 

[imshally81]

Time for Afridi

 

[Badsha]

 

[Markhor]

LBW ! Professor strikes !

 

[talha3]

Hafeez gets another leftie.

 

[Markhor]

Perera gone for 17 off 33.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Luck with PAK!

 

[Badsha]

Usually Fast bowlers dominate the rankings.

 

[ads101]

[Bullet Drive]

Bowl Afridi now, right hander in.

 

[Markhor]

Billie Jean

 

[sarmadsl]

[Badsha]

Need to get Afridi on now.

 

[sada90]

3 more to go

 

[Osama_B]

so what


stop whinging russell! we were denied 2 from incompetent umpiring

 

[ads101]

is misbah doing a hafeez? No Afridi?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Kulasekera can bat, I'd bowl Afridi instead of Hafeez next over.

 

[Markhor]

Nuwan Kulasekara in now.

God I hate this guy, his bowling ALWAYS troubles us. Real pest, him and Herath.

 

[MRSN]

Kulasekara to make 50 here guys . You heard it first here !!

 

[Badsha]

I think it was the appeal which did the damage

 

[carbon11]

who is this umpire ashokas brother

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bowl Afridi this over and then Ajmal from the other!

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

edged, bad decision

 

[Badsha]

Shahid Afridi in the 28th over.... sigh.

 

[MRSN]

Nuwan Kulasekara in now.

God I hate this guy, his bowling ALWAYS troubles us. Real pest, him and Herath.

[Markhor]

Afridi bowling now.

 

[Badsha]

Shahid warne

 

[Markhor]

SL 82-7 | 29 overs

Claim Time Solicitors ad AGAIN.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amazing over from Afridi. Maiden.

 

[talha3]

Dropped

 

[Markhor]

Dropped from Sarfraz. That was a dolly.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

how was the wicket keeper today??

 

[Looney]

What is wrong with Sarfraz ? He will be out for sure

 

[MRSN]

This game is not finished until the last bowl because this is Pakistan who are chasing

 

[Osama_B]

poor keeping

 

[Looney]

82/7 | 29.4 overs

 

[sada90]

dropped

 

[Markhor]

Another maiden.

 

[Osama_B]

this guy drops too many for my liking

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

2 catches dropped?

 

[carbon11]

adnan is the best keeper in the country imo

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfaraz is a very ordinary keeper , adnan is a lot better.

 

[Looney]

)

 

[JibranAnsari]

how was the wicket keeper today??

pathetic...

 

[talha3]

3 maidens in a row. Excellent stuff.

Afridi should have slipped in a really quick ball. He can bowl as quick as Kula himself when he wants to.

 

[Markhor]

Another maiden... That's 3 in a row.

Sri Lanka trying to salvage a draw ! Or wait until the next rain delay.

 

[carbon11]

Sarfaraz is a very ordinary keeper , adnan is a lot better.

adnan is a lot more athletic and agile and quick of his feet, we saw that with the wides today, sarfraz was planted and basically half hearted attempts to save the wides slipping down leg.

Yah he was too late to react , not a natural keeper and also failed to catch deliveries cleanly even dropped a few.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2-20 from Hafeez's 10

 

[talha3]

Great spell from Hafeez. Incredibly consistent bowler.

 

[JibranAnsari]

adnan is the best

unfortunaly , amongst the pebbles Adnan is the best. No diamond

 

[Markhor]

Hafeez completes his spell. 2-20, 3 maidens.

 

[Looney]

32 overs | 86/7

 

[JilaWatan]

whats with the defensive field? misbah shoud be attacking right now, getting these tailies out

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another impressive over. Lovely stuff. Bring on a pacer now. Gul!

 

[carbon11]

:4

 

[Looney]

unfortunaly , amongst the pebbles Adnan is the best. No diamond

We have not tried Bismillah Khan yet :kami




33.1 Overs | 94/7

 

[carbon11]

star quality fielding by junior

 

[Bullet Drive]

WOW, what fielding.

 

[Asif321]

34 gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to mop up the tail here pretty quickly! Cant let SL even have a sniff in the game!

 

[Desi_Joker]

Brilliant stuff by Umar on that last ball.

Any other team, the teammates would've gone up to him and given him a pat on the back for his effort. Unfortunately, nobody really cares about fielding in the Pakistani team.

 

[MRSN]

SL lowest total against us is 116 !! let's keep them under that.

 

[imshally81]

Need Sami here

 

[Markhor]

Afridi's delivery goes way down the leg side for four.

 

[Looney]

and goes for a

102/7 | 35 OVers

 

[Markhor]

SL 102-7 | 35 overs.
