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

[Shafi]

According to Pakistan perspective 250 is good considering we dont have batsmen apart from Misbah and Younis. Can't compare with S Africa. We can not play even Tahir.

 

[Seen Sheen]

This is an high quality contest, Herath v YK

 

[AnasK]

Misbah was looking out of sorts here. He did well to build good partnership but he should have continued after 100 balls.
We didn't saw his signature six off the left arm spinner, so definitely he was out of sorts.

 

[Ikball]

Meanwhile I have ordered my Lunch, A kaizma burger , Arabian rice with Chicken piece, fries, Salad and upsize coke

Hopefully YK will go on to score 24th hundred.

 

[Sakss]

Asad Shafiq has an average of 17.88 in last ten innings with highest of 23 runs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thinj Umar Akmal should have been picked for this match instead of asad.

 

[speed]

Prasad 125k trundler took 2 wickets

 

[Amjid Javed]

Meanwhile I have ordered my Lunch, A kaizma burger , Arabian rice with Chicken piece, fries, Salad and upsize coke

Hopefully YK will go on to score 24th hundred.

Apart from chips and coke, sounds good!

 

[hussain.r97]

Pure class!

 

[ExplicitAI]

If Younis sticks around for a lot longer, then Asad would most probs score big

 

[Mamoon]

Great shot by Shafiq, perfect balance.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Pulled away with disdain by MoC!!FOUR!

 

[saiyan0312]

[Seen Sheen]

Dont bowl short to Moc!onting

 

[Ikball]

[junaid.ahmed]

bon apetit!

 

[Ikball]

Great shot by Shafiq, perfect balance.

Yousaf Bhai, YK is gonna break your 100s record and also gonna past your test runs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nice shot for 4 by Asad, ave of 17 in last 10 inns, probably needs to get a big hundred here!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Runrate creeping up

 

[Shafi]

Steyn and Philander are better than some of our top order batsmen.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Half volley, couldnt hit it straighter.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 169/4

 

[Seen Sheen]

Asad should try to reach the pitch by using his feet.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Asad Shafiq has an average of 17.88 in last ten innings with highest of 23 runs.

good opportunity for him to score today. Pitch is easy and SL bowlers are not that threatening.

 

[SAfridi]

Steyn and Philander are better than some of our top order batsmen.

XD Yup

 

[Seen Sheen]

Not short enough to cut, mistimed by MoC.

 

[saiyan0312]

Nearly caught, Edged on the turn.

 

[Seen Sheen]

good opportunity for him to score today. Pitch is easy and SL bowlers are not that threatening.

Herath is bowling beautifully though, produces a peach every now and then.

 

[SAfridi]

Dont know why Umar Akmal wasnt Chosen Instead of this Nervous Asad Shafiq ?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Commies saying 275 -300 is enough on this pitch

 

[uberkoen]

Meanwhile I have ordered my Lunch, A kaizma burger , Arabian rice with Chicken piece, fries, Salad and upsize coke

Hopefully YK will go on to score 24th hundred.

Thank you for sharing this information.

Loving these amazing ads on Zee Cinema!

 

[aukhan]

what and who's MOC?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Come on Sachin aka Asad Shafiq

 

[saiyan0312]

yorker there by prasad. Shafiq plays it.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Commies saying 275 -300 is enough on this pitch

Looks a flat pitch with a hint of turn. I would want 350 to feel safe.

 

[uberkoen]

Commies saying 275 -300 is enough on this pitch

Who listens to communists these days anyways?

 

[SAfridi]

Loving these amazing ads on Zee Cinema!

Same Here.

 

[saiyan0312]

what and who's MOC?

MOC stands for man of crisis something shafiq was once called with younis.

 

[uberkoen]

A bit of reverse there.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Commies saying 275 -300 is enough on this pitch

Yup will be a competitive score.

 

[hussain.r97]

Shafiq not looking too bad

 

[uberkoen]

Nice square cut by Shafiq.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Herath is bowling beautifully though, produces a peach every now and then.

we have invested a lot of time in him. It will be good to see him score and become a permanent at 6.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Driven away through covers - not much timing- MoC picks up a couple.

 

[SAfridi]

Shooot! By Asad. Nice Shot but face of blade closing on ball.

 

[saiyan0312]

fuller and wide and shafiq hits it for 2.

 

[Shafi]

Asad looks better but don't know he can hold his temper.

 

[uberkoen]

Well left Shafiq! Well left!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Give Herath respect and others rnt threatening at all.

 

[Seen Sheen]

we have invested a lot of time in him. It will be good to see him score and become a permanent at 6.

Yeah agreed. I have always supported him and Azhar. Hopefully Asad will re-establish himself by scoring a big one here.

 

[uberkoen]

Another good leave!

 

[saiyan0312]

That was a very close leave. could have seen his stumps cartwheeling.

 

[Mamoon]

Commies saying 275 -300 is enough on this pitch

In my opinion, this is a 400 pitch and we will get there if Shafiq can get a big one.

I expect two of the SL trio (Sangakkara, Mahela and Mathews) to score big unless we bowl exceptionally well. If we can get to 400, we might be able to put them under a little pressure and force a result.

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a ball

 

[aukhan]

That was close.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Driven away through covers - not much timing- MoC picks up a couple.

MoC Asad Shafiq?

 

[uberkoen]

Yeah agreed. I have always supported him and Azhar. Hopefully Asad will re-establish himself by scoring a big one here.

He looks to be on course to scoring a decent total here.

 

[Seen Sheen]

what and who's MOC?

Asad Shafiq - The man of crisis.
