Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | August 6-10, 2014 | Galle | Day 1

[Red Devil]

Dropped. Lol wth was that

 

[saiyan0312]

DRopped. Reverse sweep nearly got the wicket.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Oh my Younis living a dangerous life here

 

[Mamoon]

Thank you very much dear, We shall not forget your this kind favor whole life.

Agreed.

 

[saiyan0312]

younis with this much luck needsa to make sure a hundred is a minimum and go on to score a double.

 

[Mamoon]

playing like a nightwatchman.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Big six for my boy Younis

 

[Amjid Javed]

Clearly YK doesnt think much of perreras bowling

 

[Haz95]

Azhar, Shehzad, YK, Fawad, Misbah, Akmal, Safraz. Is it really that hard to pick these lot in this order. Shafiq is just while Manzoor is becoming a big liabilty

 

[carbon11]

will never understand misbahs approach at the crease, he really does help the bowling side by drying up the runs.

 

[ExplicitAI]

playing like a nightwatchman.

Misbah looks more like one atm

 

[CricketAnalyst]

This is supposed to be a low scoring match, Younis turning it on and making it look easy. Small bits of luck or no, this is a top innings.

 

[hur rizvi]

No he does not. Please come back for ODI or T20 when Afridi is playing. Leave the real cricket to real men.

I am all for playing with caution, but S/R of 18.46 is not on even in test cricket..

I am not saying he should hit 4s and 6s, just try to rotate the S/R and up that pathetic S/R

 

[Amjid Javed]

Am wondering whether Mahela should be moving when YK is actually playing the reverse sweep, should only move after the ball has been bowled

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah is doing his usual tuk tuk, is like a headless chicken.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah fans will say 'he's batting sensibly'.

A trash innings so far.

Agreed.Truly horrific knock.If he gets out now what will this innings of his contributed to the team.Absolutely nothing at all.

Giving support doesn't mean you start dead batting everything.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

The communication is missing, maybe due to lack of cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 66 runs so far .

 

[imshally81]

Good single

 

[zabalestmsm]

Lol what a throw by Herath. Ha ha.

 

[saiyan0312]

Single and what kind of a throw was that. He seemed to be targeting the umpire more than the stumps.

 

[saiyan0312]

Easy singles as the fielders are back. Now is the time to rotate the strike.

 

[m.shah]

124/3

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Misbah, it is not a crime to score even if you are consolidating. Besides, consolidating doesn't last for more than 25 overs.

 

[saiyan0312]

rotating well so far. Srilanka needs a breakthrough

 

[Aman]

Good fightback by YK.

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah should start making runs now. He has faced alot of balls and has done well in terms of ensuring stability after the collapse but now is the time to take those singles.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

A run rate of 2.50 in modern cricket is not great at all.

 

[hur rizvi]

2 singles by Misbah in 1 over, Signs of Doomsday

 

[imshally81]

Defensive approach by SL

 

[Afridi96]

Yh that's what i was thinking, Mahela moved too early :/

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I do think Misbah is struggling, but trust me , it's better than scoring a 30 off 20 balls and departing.

 

[saiyan0312]

Waisay this inning is a rare one.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Good fightback by YK.

YK is a player of world's #3 side.:ahmed

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Are there any channels on Sky showing this other than Zee Cinema?

And [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]'s favourite player looks on course for a 100. I'd say you're delighted

 

[angrypathan]

bois playing vall

 

[imshally81]

Risk n single

 

[Ikball]

Now YK should score triple century to demoralize SL players

 

[Mamoon]

Smiley fail.

 

[hur rizvi]

I do think Misbah is struggling, but trust me , it's better than scoring a 30 off 20 balls and departing.

Yes its better, but only if he goes on to score a big one now, He gets out now than it would be pathetic innings

 

[saiyan0312]

I do think Misbah is struggling, but trust me , it's better than scoring a 30 off 20 balls and departing.

No he is not struggling and his presence is needed but he needs to score some runs but NOT FROM SHOTS LIKE THAT. single but it was a dangerous shot as he danced out of the crease. His presence is golden but he needs to get some runs in.

 

[Mamoon]

This has been a mediocre innings by quality wise, but has shown great resilience.

 

[imshally81]

What a appeal

 

[Justcrazy]

in 70 s now , can he get a hundred.

 

[Afridi96]

Azhar, Shehzad, YK, Fawad, Misbah, Akmal, Safraz. Is it really that hard to pick these lot in this order. Shafiq is just while Manzoor is becoming a big liabilty

Yes

 

[saiyan0312]

Loud appeal and turned down. Srilanka look demoralized at the moment.

 

[razabbas]

WTH they are playing reverse sweep ?

Misbah just got saved now in last series misbah just got out on playing the same s hot where as YK catch have bee droped by farewell boy

 

[saiyan0312]

Eranga is back. Pacers are their best bet.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Yh that's what i was thinking, Mahela moved too early :/

Not everyone can do that. Mahela has very good anticipation.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Are there any channels on Sky showing this other than Zee Cinema?

And [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]'s favourite player looks on course for a 100. I'd say you're delighted

Can you access Willow Cricket? The match is on it. If not, you can look for online streaming.

 

[Aman]

Wow, 128/3 after 50 overs lol

 

[Straight_Drive]

why is misbah playing with such a pathetic strike rate....i could understand if the ball was moving around on a green top or when the wicket has fallen but after 28 overs of partnership this is not acceptable...truly a pathetic and selfish innings

 

[Afridi96]

Not everyone can do that. Mahela has very good anticipation.

Yh but i don't think you're allowed to moved before the ball makes contact with the bat.

Oh shitt yeah this is PCB here

Exactly

 

[hur rizvi]

Not everyone can do that. Mahela has very good anticipation.

Yes but normally you arent allowed to move as long as ball hasnt reached the batsman

 

[razabbas]

Charmed luck

 

[saiyan0312]

charmed life is right. Younis could clean out a gambling house today.

 

[Aman]

why is misbah playing with such a pathetic strike rate....i could understand if the ball was moving around on a green top or when the wicket has fallen but after 28 overs of partnership this is not acceptable...truly a pathetic and selfish innings

Increasing the chances of a collapse when the second new ball comes around.

 

[Haz95]

Wow big wicket

 

[razabbas]

why is misbah playing with such a pathetic strike rate....i could understand if the ball was moving around on a green top or when the wicket has fallen but after 28 overs of partnership this is not acceptable...truly a pathetic and selfish innings

when i woke up he was on 1(33) and then i slept again

 

[saiyan0312]

88 vs india younis khan. Near bradman against india.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Yes but normally you arent allowed to move as long as ball hasnt reached the batsman

I tell you, if Mahela had caught that ball, YK would have been given out. I have seen Mahela do that atleast once before.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

some peoples have always problem with younis
this is also one of his classy rescue knock while they are bashing him with no reason behind
truly he is our best batsman in test

 

[saiyan0312]

younis is a master of sweep. Employs a dangerous shot like its a simple defense one.

 

[razabbas]

88 vs india younis khan. Near bradman against india.

Sehwag avgs 91 against us and that too with an awesome SR

 

[qamar84]

what a piece of fielding

 

[Mamoon]

Park a bus in front the stumps and it will do a similar job to Misbah.

 

[Yatoo]

Misbah needs to score 50 more and remain not out for his average to climb into 50

 

[saiyan0312]

Good shot by misbah but fielder stopped it. Good fielding.

 

[saiyan0312]

Sehwag avgs 91 against us and that too with an awesome SR

I know. the guy was a beast against us.

 

[Ikball]

in 70 s now , can he get a hundred.

we are not najoomi

 

[qamar84]

another great fielding

 

[Haz95]

Thats out

 

[saiyan0312]

whats with the football herath. Massive misfield and a single given.

 

[razabbas]

Misbah bhai run bhe banana hain :/

 

[Haz95]

Thats out

Of reach

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah TBH has looked solid and unmoving.

 

[qamar84]

sl bowling is great and their fielding wonderfull so far

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Can I admire misbah for what he's doing right now?? To stay out there unflinched for so long. Man that takes some grit

 

[Afridi96]

Shot, well done

 

[qamar84]

what a shot ,
