Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Colombo (RPS) | Jul 30, 2015 | Sri Lanka Innings

[Thivagar]

Vandersay looked good, I was impressed. He bowled that weird mix of off-spin and leg spin type deliveries, and varied his pace quite brilliantly.

Fernando looked decent in his first spell but got tonked later on. Seems like a trundler tbh, doesn't have enough pace imo.

Thanks

6 foot 5 trundler

Why do most Lankan players look so malnourished? Lanka is not a poor country like India or Bangladesh.

Of all the subcontinent teams, Lankans seem to be the skinniest (except Thisara Perera and Ranatunga). Is it all genetics?

I remember Sanath was huge.

Siriwardana reminds me so much of shakib al hasan. Both with bat and ball.

 

[Belawal2014]

Lots to love about this Milinda guy, also a good-looking chap

 

[ExplicitAI]

Means every ball is aimed at the stumps, no room outside off or leg at all.

cheers man

 

[umer187]

Kaushal, Senanayake and Vandersay are supposedly better. He has lots of variation not sure about his accuracy.

He bowled well in the handful of matches he played

 

[BleedGreen]

good over for SL

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Wickets as well as RRR is an issue now.

Should just blindly try they're luck by slogging out.

Thisara, Siri, Kapu, Malinga, de Silva all still there.

Don't say that my brother said the same thing in 2010 W-T20 semi- final what happened next is too painful to remember.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

I remember Sanath was huge.

Sanath was a He-man. Exception. Overall, Lanka produces the most skinniest players. They are athletic though.

 

[Madplayer]

99 reqd off 48 balls. Siriwardana looking good.

 

[ExplicitAI]

clubbed

 

[Ahson8]

Massive hit.

Lunch on me if SL win.

 

[asyed]

Looks like SL has found a good all rounder Siriwardana.

 

[umer187]

Mathews kinda goes retarded when he loses hope. Horrible leader. I'm not sure if Vithanage is colour blind, he seem to struggle vs the white ball even in domestic . Kusal needs to bat somewhere in the top middle, he isn't responsible.

This is one angry Srilanka fan

 

[Madplayer]

more siriwardana is the real deal. Only positive from SL side in this whole tour imo.

 

[aukhan]

Afridi leaking runs as always.

 

[asyed]

Another 6, shoot!

 

[Thivagar]

Vandersay was the leggie no? He is the real deal. Fernando i am afraid is ordinary. 125kph. Bowled well in his first spell but got hammered later on.

Vandersay bowled very well.Cramped the batsmen for room and didn't even bowl a real loosner as leg spinners generally do thus he did not even concede a single boundary. I feel he needs to give the bowl some more air to get wickets. Fernando bowled his first spell pretty well but missed his legnth in the second one and got hammered

Thanks guys. Good to see SL possessing a good leggie. We never really had a good leggie. After Herath Kaushal-Vandersay duo should look good. LOL at Binura trundling at 125

 

[Madplayer]

If i was afridi i would give the ball to irfan. Ask him to bowl good length at pace and have a square leg and midwicket.

 

[hefaith]

Why did afridi not bring Malik on, he was getting hammered

 

[asyed]

Oh comon, why we need Afridi in this team.

The worst is, this guy always want to bowl 4 overs in T20, knowing that he's leaking runs.

 

[Thivagar]

Who's idea was to give this 14 year old looking kid who is actually 24 a shot at T20. Doesn't have good LOI or even T20 stats either.

 

[cricfan967]

Malik has brilliant T20I bowling stats

Lanka produces these good allrounders so easily. Siriwardena is da bomb.

The leggie confused Shehzad quite a bit. He some weird deliveries.

 

[umer187]

Milinda Siriwardana is being under utilized by Sl massively!

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[cricfan967]

92-5, Malik gets one

[Ahson8]

Gone, Malik strikes.

 

[asyed]

Here we go. Malik got us the wicket.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

That should have been smacked for Six. Tamely hits it for 2.

Now he is out.

 

[Madplayer]

Gone de silva. He struggled. Can be a good ODI player.

 

[umer187]

Thanks guys. Good to see SL possessing a good leggie. We never really had a good leggie. After Herath Kaushal-Vandersay duo should look good. LOL at Binura trundling at 125

Not even one of his deliveries were above 130 kph

 

[cricfan967]

Afridiesque average without the strike rate

[ChachaCricket]

Malik too nice.

 

[Thivagar]

Here comes the guy who hit 90 of 40 balls vs Shane bond at the age of 17 and then played for 90 ODIS

 

[ExplicitAI]

not out

 

[asyed]

Nope, not out!

 

[Madplayer]

He has some different deliveries. Unorthodox deliveries somewhat like under the hand seam ups that come in after pitching. Confused the batsman a lot. I dont think he gave away a boundary in his spell

 

[cricfan967]

What a shot

[ExplicitAI]

oh wow

 

[Thivagar]

Kapugedara went to the same school as Ashton Agar's grandfather.

 

[umer187]

Oh yes Shobby brilliant as always!

 

[Madplayer]

Sl coming back into the game.

It is the same old kapugadera. Why is he back?

 

[Thivagar]

There is no "come back". SL ran out of talents so they are using what its left

 

[ExplicitAI]

good effort

 

[Madplayer]

Siriwardana playing a potentially match winning knock.

 

[asyed]

2 4's on 2 balls.

 

[Thivagar]

For ODIs sl should replace Thisara with Siriwardana

 

[Madplayer]

SL ahead in this game

 

[ExplicitAI]

back-to-back

 

[Thivagar]

Best middle order batsmen for SL since Ranatunga

 

[asyed]

Need Milinda's wicket ASAP.

 

[Shafi]

SL back in the game!!!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Mukhtar's a quick fielder

 

[asyed]

SL may've been in better position had he send this Milinda and Mathews on no 3 and 4, respectively.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mukhtar Ahmed - another one of the fantastic fielders Pakistan is producing of late.

 

[Madplayer]

Bowl at siri's pads. Thats his weak zone

 

[cricfan967]

Are we in for a thriller?

poor over from irfan

 

[Madplayer]

Irfan is really a liability in his encond spells

 

[Thivagar]

He has some different deliveries. Unorthodox deliveries somewhat like under the hand seam ups that come in after pitching. Confused the batsman a lot. I dont think he gave away a boundary in his spell

Fliper/Slider ?

 

[asyed]

Wholy, another big over.

 

[Ahson8]

Horror over from Irfan.

 

[Square Drive]

Irfan really shouldn't be playing T20s.

 

[Logical]

Irfan is horrible at death. This is where Umar Gul was so deadly.

 

[umer187]

Looks achievable now

 

[Shafi]

Irfan already lost his energy!!! This guy can't even last 3 overs

 

[Madplayer]

Irfan is really a liability in his second spells

 

[asyed]

Irfan should be used in his 3/4 overs in the first spell. No need to keep him for later.

 

[Square Drive]

What the...

SL back!

C'mon BOYS!

 

[Thivagar]

Im actually enjoying SL bat. It is refreshing to not see Sanga or Mahela bat for 30 overs.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Never saw such passionate full house in SL before, what is happening there?

 

[Square Drive]

Bring Tanvir on.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Tanvir back in action

 

[saabir]

Its carnage by Lankans still heavily loaded in favour of pak now only Tanvir can save from further embarassment.

 

[Markhor]

Siriwardana should bat higher up the order, top scored in FC cricket in the recent season and looks better than No 7.

Sri Lanka with a good spell here.

 

[#GreenRoars]

This game is still 50-50
