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

[zabalestmsm]

Damn! Unlucky Shehzad. But also a good seaming delivery.

 

[imshally81]

Huge Gap between bat n pad... poor technique by Shahzad..

 

[OZGOD]

Horrible shot from Shezhad

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

What a stupid decision to bat on this wicket

 

[pakistanisgreat]

wow what bouce

 

[saeed-sohail]

Oh please. Poor footwork.

Its common among our young guns and that includes Mr Umar dance around Akmal.

 

[OZGOD]

Damn! Unlucky Shehzad. But also a good seaming delivery.

It was a terrible shot and deserved to get out

 

[Madplayer]

dean jones with his amazing insights . boy he should have been approached for the position of a coach

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Hoorible decision too bat first in these conditions, Ahmed Shehzad gone already

An opener has to do his job. Did you see the shot?

Poor footwork, bat pushing at the ball, bat and pad not close together and the ball swung - what more did he need to get out?

 

[cricketAXEpert]

Thats what happens wen misbah choses to bat first

I thought Angelo won the toss, This is a blunder by Misbah, why would expose his Batting in conditions like these

 

[zabalestmsm]

It was a terrible shot and deserved to get out

Yes i have to agree here.

 

[OZGOD]

Let's see if these two have the skills and patience to dig in rather than flogging the ball around like it's hit and giggle

 

[imshally81]

so we are playing with the four bowlers...
oh wait... Younus khan can also bowl n fetched some swing ....

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Khorram showing excellent technique

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Stupid shot by shehzad and stupid decision by Misbah to bat considering the overnight rain.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Damn! Unlucky Shehzad. But also a good seaming delivery.

lol please.

 

[Mamoon]

Shehzad is not Test material. Will score a ton at SSC like Hafeez.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Hoorible decision too bat first in these conditions, Ahmed Shehzad gone already

Nothing wrong with the decision. A good decision in fact but some poor batting. What has happened to leaving the wide ones when you see off the new ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Manzoor needs to improve his average , it is too low

 

[161]

Shezad will never be a test batsmen ... one day slogger only

 

[zabalestmsm]

I thought Angelo won the toss, This is a blunder by Misbah, why would expose his Batting in conditions like these

I think its just the starting some overs. Pitch will dry up then. Crucial period this.

 

[saadsahabjee]

Ahmed Photoshoot Gone Early.

 

[zabalestmsm]

lol please.

I called him unlucky bcoz of an inside edge
Emotions dominated me

 

[SAfridi]

I thought Angelo won the toss, This is a blunder by Misbah, why would expose his Batting in conditions like these

Exactly

 

[saeed-sohail]

Shehzad is not Test material. Will score a ton at SSC like Hafeez.

What's your opinion on Umar Akmal and test cricket.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Man last time I saw these bowlers they were pathetic either we are too rusty or these guys have improved tremendously

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Khurram's technique looks improved from the last time.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Manzoor shud play a big knock. Looks comfortable.

 

[Fastandfurious]

We love fishing!

 

[Mamoon]

Umar Akmal will be a very good number 6 in Tests for now.

 

[m.shah]

Shahzad gone

 

[Justcrazy]

lanka bowlers hitting right length

 

[Madplayer]

lol our batsmen do not know how to leave

 

[zabalestmsm]

There is always something for fast bowlers in SL pitches. Especially seam movement off the pitch.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Those criticising Misbah please dont waste your precious time watching test cricket.

 

[imshally81]

Solid shot 4

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

There is always something for fast bowlers in SL pitches. Especially seam movement off the pitch.

Are you serious?

 

[OZGOD]

Good drive bit too full and wide

 

[Sakss]

The pitch will dry out later and will assist the spinner on day 4.5 specially..

 

[saeed-sohail]

Umar Akmal will be a very good number 6 in Tests for now.

Based on what?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

79.4 mph last one

 

[Madplayer]

lol why cant azhar leave the ball?

 

[Sakss]

He spots the fuller length early and leans into a cover drive, gets it off the middle of the bat and that races to the boundary. Everything was right about that shot from Azhar



That's how its done

 

[zabalestmsm]

Are you serious?

Well yes. I have noticed it. These pitches arent that flat like those of UAE.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Great shot, that!

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Well yes. I have noticed it. These pitches arent that flat like those of UAE.

Maybe.

 

[zabalestmsm]

lol why cant azhar leave the ball?

The ball is not leaving him

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Khurram just needs to survive another 30 Mina

 

[Fastandfurious]

Make Dean Jones our batting coach please! Talking sense here.

 

[m.shah]

12/1

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Why does Azhar push at the ball? Leave it or play with full commitment and conviction.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Did anyone hear that "khelta rah khelta eah time Ayer ga " by azhar

 

[Fastandfurious]

Khurram just needs to survive another 30 Mina

It's not about surviving, it's about playing.

 

[SAfridi]

Manzoor Looking Comfortable On Crease Now.

 

[Madplayer]

Well yes. I have noticed it. These pitches arent that flat like those of UAE.

yeah. they are worse

 

[Madplayer]

edged but didnt carry due to soft hands

 

[FreeBird]

dean jones with his amazing insights . boy he should have been approached for the position of a coach

This !!!

 

[saiyan0312]

Srilankan bowlers sometimes bowl too full. inexperience i guess

No umar. Azhar looks a bit different now.

 

[Mamoon]

Based on my opinion.

 

[Sakss]

Umar wasnt going to be just be drafted in to the playing XI after 4 years was he? Stop over hyping him

 

[Sunny786]

Manzoor looking assured on the crease. Azhar still not judging the ball well which is understandable because of the long break.

 

[Logical]

Dean Jones is better than Ramiz Raza and Russell Arnold.

Agreed, i actually rate him one of the best. But wasn't he fired for good after Amla's incident

 

[Fastandfurious]

Umar wasnt going to just be drafted in to the playing XI after 4 years was he? Stop over hyping him

Asad doesn't deserve that spot after failing so many times, that's for sure.

 

[hussain.r97]

Manzoor looking relativly comfortable, let's hope he scores big Inshallah

 

[imshally81]

3 runs

 

[hussain.r97]

What a shot!!!!!!!!!

 

[FreeBird]

Edges, half hearted pokes, French cuts, poor foot work, and low in confidence. Typical Pakistani opening (except for one shot by Azhar) - nothing surprising here.

 

[saiyan0312]

3 runs and that is just horror stuff. Azhar is driving good so why bowl so full.

 

[SAfridi]

Come on Pakistan!

 

[Madplayer]

head foot and hands . the sequence of playing a shot as per deano .

 

[world cup captain]

Manzoor and Azhar look pretty comfortable out there. Looking for a big knock for at least from one of them.

 

[FreeBird]

Asad doesn't deserve that spot after failing so many times, that's for sure.

Asad is a better player against the entire squad put together - including Misbah that is.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Somebody teach Manzoor how to leave the ball.

 

[SAfridi]

Asad doesn't deserve that spot after failing so many times, that's for sure.

Agree

 

[zabalestmsm]

Dark clouds hovering.

 

[Chickenkorma]

Wow. The quality of pakistani batting is pathetic...

 

[zabalestmsm]

Must review.

 

[Madplayer]

gone 2nd wicket down

 

[saiyan0312]

massive inseamer and will it be a review.

 

[imshally81]

out
