Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | August 6-10, 2014 | Galle | Day 2

[junaid.ahmed]

we required autralian slip cordon

 

[Mir jibran]

That choice was pending, Dhawan didn't impress me

gambhir deservingly finds his place back

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid is bowling tight. We need a few wickets and sanga wicket will be the prized scalp.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

slips should come little closer as the ball is not carrying due to lack of bounce

 

[Nuekboi]

Quality bowling boys, when Ajmal to come in around 16-17th over?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Why our the slips stood so far back when its clear ball isnt carrying. they need to come up a yard here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

SL 37/1 off a decent start here

 

[Sunny786]

How many overs till tea?

Edit: Just realized it already is the 3rd session

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon junaid get sanga and for God sake somebody tell the slips to stand closer,.

 

[Saeed]

How many overs till tea?

Tea is over already.

 

[saiyan0312]

How many overs till tea?

About 86 overs till tea tomorrow.

Post tea session bro.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Perfect team and wicket to score a big one. Sanga!

 

[Sunny786]

Tea is over already.

About 86 overs till tea tomorrow.

Post tea session bro.

Yeah just realized

 

[saiyan0312]

Thats good. bowl fuller there.

 

[Zero]

yeah at PP every one used to talk about Junaid's lost swing on any thread where bowling goes under discussion

Yep, ever since he became a hero in the India series with his swing...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Drop?

 

[saiyan0312]

So far its a good start considering all the flat talk going on.

 

[Big Mac]

Argh, this is frustrating

 

[Nuekboi]

Garbage from Manzoor

 

[uberkoen]

How many catches have we dropped so far?

Absurd. How can we keep dropping catches like this?

 

[London_Lahori]

For gods sake, at least stop the edges from going to the boundary.

 

[saiyan0312]

This is garbage field setting TBh. Slip standing so back and thats the second edge that was not taken and this was Sanga for crying out loud and manzoor that was pathetic.

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal on

 

[uberkoen]

Ajju is on.

 

[uberkoen]

C'mon Ajju. Rip through 'em!

 

[saiyan0312]

Junaid so far has bowled perfectly but fielders have totally let them down.

 

[saiyan0312]

Ajmal is on. the best we got and the best spinner in the world. come on ajju.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Junaid bowled really nicely today, fielding has been rubbish

 

[saiyan0312]

Turn and big one.

 

[uberkoen]

Good feedback from the keeper there!

 

[saiyan0312]

Junaid bowled really nicely today, fielding has been rubbish

Yep got the edges. Have no idea why fielders stood soo back and then to top it off they sent those edges for fours.

 

[saiyan0312]

Soo many edges so far this innings.

Nice picture of YK, tweet makes no sense though.

 

[uberkoen]

Ajju showing 'em how its done.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Yep got the edges. Have no idea why fielders stood soo back and then to top it off they sent those edges for fours.

Should have moved the slips more closer to the batsman.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

frustration for the bowlers as edges not carries & poor pakistani fielders never able to make half chances into full

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid should get couple of over more and the slip should be closer to him now.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Fielders still standing back?

 

[uberkoen]

Ahmed yaar...

He's getting a lot of stick on twitter poor chap.

 

[saiyan0312]

Should have moved the slips more closer to the batsman.

Yep and TBH its the captains job especially after a few edges fell short.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Junaid bowled beautifully today and yet people downgrade him a lot, he's not Wasim, Marshall, McGrath all in one

 

[uberkoen]

Fielders still standing back?

They've come in a bit. Problem is if you come in too much your sideways movement is hampered.

 

[Aman]

He's getting a lot of stick on twitter poor chap.

It makes no sense at all, was he trying to say YK is an inspiration to everyone?

 

[uberkoen]

Junaid bowled beautifully today and yet people downgrade him a lot, he's not Wasim, Marshall, McGrath all in one

He's neither one of those individually either.

 

[saiyan0312]

Bowling with pace. fielders come closer!!!!

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Junaid's little bunny hop never gets old )

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Come on Juni we need that inswinger which was bowled to sanga last time around.

 

[uberkoen]

It makes no sense at all, was he trying to say YK is an inspiration to everyone?

heh. I suppose that's what he went for. That's the only word that would make sense there.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Ohh Almost

 

[uberkoen]

People were dissing Misbah when he was playing slow. Look at what Sangga is doing.

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's neither one of those individually either.

So far I'm pleased with what he's achieved in both Tests and ODI's.

 

[saiyan0312]

very unlike sanga that swish of the bat

 

[uberkoen]

So far I'm pleased with what he's achieved in both Tests and ODI's.

He's decent and has potential to get better but he's no where close to the names you mentioned.

 

[uberkoen]

very unlike sanga that swish of the bat

He's being frustrated out there by our bowlers.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Such sharp turn

 

[Boi]

Institute for everyone ) shehzad continues to make a fool of himself on twitter.

 

[Square Drive]

How many catches have we dropped so far?

Absurd. How can we keep dropping catches like this?

Won't really call them drops. They didn't carry.

 

[uberkoen]

Rehman fielding!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Won't really call them drops. They didn't carry.

Still the captains fault for persisting to keep the fielders further back.

 

[Square Drive]

I sense a wicket (Silva).

 

[Amjid Javed]

Alot of playing and missing and edges in this inns, we should have more than 1 wicket here, we need to move our slip fielders closer and also just keep trying to dry runs up here, need to get sanga out before he settles in!

 

[uberkoen]

Ajmal pitching it up.

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's decent and has potential to get better but he's no where close to the names you mentioned.

I mentioned them because that's what people make comparisons to, they're asking too much from one man and he's done a decent job.

 

[uberkoen]

Still the captains fault for persisting to keep the fielders further back.

Have you ever played cricket? You can only bring the slip up close to a certain limit otherwise you limit their sideways movement

 

[uberkoen]

Talha back on the attack.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Have you ever played cricket? You can only bring the slip up close to a certain limit otherwise you limit their sideways movement

Yeah I've played...
Still he didn't bring em up closer earlier

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Institute for everyone ) shehzad continues to make a fool of himself on twitter.

I'd sympathise with him a bit.

English obviously isnt his first language and its pretty rude to insult someone trying to speak in an alien language. I'd applaud him for at least trying.

He definitely needs extra lessons though

 

[uberkoen]

Classy drive.

 

[uberkoen]

Yeah I've played...
Still he didn't bring em up closer earlier

Go sit in the Misbah haters circle.

 

[uberkoen]

oh wow. Edged for four.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Go sit in the Misbah haters circle.

Lol I'm not a hater
Criticize misbah and be labelled a hater...
Actually like him as a batsman and capt

 

[uberkoen]

oh that one came back a bit!

Not bad from Talha

 

[junaid.ahmed]

whats wrong with the slip fielders

 

[Madplayer]

Lol I'm not a hater
Criticize misbah and be labelled a hater...
Actually like him as a batsman and capt

old habit of misbah worshippers to think he cant be criticized

 

[Square Drive]

Still the captains fault for persisting to keep the fielders further back.

True.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

hahahaha gambhir out india 8/1
idhar nahi to udhar sahi

 

[uberkoen]

old habit of misbah worshippers to think he cant be criticized

He can be criticized if the criticism makes sense.

Most critics just criticize him for the sake of it and will find the silliest reasons to do so.

 

[Haz95]

Bowled a beaut to Sanga first up.

Surprisin to hear from you

 

[DrSchultz]

meanwhile in Eng Gambhir fisherman is out.

 

[uberkoen]

Surprisin to hear from you

Yeah. I thought he was going to go watch the India game yet he's still sticking around. #troll
