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

[Seen Sheen]

Sarfaraz should open his shoulders a bit now.

 

[Yatoo]

The master of the dot balls. Abdur Rehman

 

[Aman]

Can Pakistan beat Bangladesh's score here?

 

[Seen Sheen]

That is a SHOT!

 

[Amjid Javed]

41 runs needed here, rehman needs to stick around and sarfaraz needs to take charge of the situatiuon we cant afford a collapse here.

 

[razabbas]

Shot Sarfraz shot

 

[SAfridi]

This Sarfraz has Great Timing of The Ball.

 

[uberkoen]

I agree with Ramiz. There has been a marked improvement in Shafiq and Rahman. Credit where its due. Nice work Grant!

 

[Sam18696]

Sir fraz

 

[Ikball]

Lovely shot by sarfraz, hoping for a century now.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wow wow, this guy can play some outrageously special shots.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Sarfraz Richards :rambo

 

[uberkoen]

What a shot! Beautifully dispatched. Simply walking down the pitch and picking the gap on mid-wicket.

 

[Aman]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

 

[Sunny786]

Great shot for by sarfraz

 

[SAfridi]

The master of the dot balls. Abdur Rehman

Hahaha *ROTFL*

 

[Seen Sheen]

I agree with Ramiz. There has been a marked improvement in Shafiq and Rahman. Credit where its due. Nice work Grant!

Lol you've seen improvement in A Rehman in only 3 balls that he has faced?

 

[razabbas]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

Please moan in some other thread

 

[saiyan0312]

Younis missed on a double. Man i was soo hoping there but great knock man great match winning knock.

 

[SAfridi]

Little Tuk tuk

 

[Aman]

Please moan in some other thread

Stating fact.

Bangladesh scored 600 on the same ground the last time they toured.

 

[uberkoen]

I think we've put up a good total here. I have no doubt we'll get to around 400+.

With Sri Lanka having to bat last it will be an uphill task for them to chase anything. I'm confident we can score a victory here.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

Ok thanks for your insight.

 

[SAfridi]

Please moan in some other thread

Exactly Totally Agree.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

I am starting to like Sarfraz. Good guy. He has worked hard on his game.

 

[Sam18696]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

Go away

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman is our only left handed in the team so he has to show that our tail can perform. Sarfraz needs to lead here.

 

[Seen Sheen]

A Rehman is also a sitting duck against short deliveries. Hope Lankans don't pepper him with bouncers..

 

[uberkoen]

Stating fact.

Bangladesh scored 600 on the same pitch.

It hadn't rained for 4 days prior to the match starting. That changes everything.

Secondly, The average score on this pitch is 350 odd.

 

[SAfridi]

Stating fact.

Bangladesh scored 600 on the same ground the last time they toured.

Nobody Cares...

 

[Aman]

I am starting to like Sarfraz. Good guy. He has worked hard on his game.

He looks much better now that's he's more confident, that knock against SL looks to have done wonders for him.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

Yeah quality side after beating NZ 4-0

 

[Arsal_AK]

What a fantastic knock from Younus.Bailed us out of trouble once more.

Sad he couldn't get a double though.

 

[razabbas]

Stating fact.

Bangladesh scored 600 on the same ground the last time they toured.

Whatever and NZL is the only team to get whitewashed by bangladesh twice ?

 

[Ikball]

Good running, please dont take risk untill we cross 400.

 

[Aman]

It hadn't rained for 4 days prior to the match starting. That changes everything.

Secondly, The average score on this pitch is 350 odd.

How many times have Pakistan scored 600 on a flat wicket?

 

[Aman]

Whatever and NZL is the only team to get whitewashed by bangladesh twice ?

We've never lost a Test to Zim or Bangladesh.

 

[razabbas]

Shabash sarfraz bas 400 krwa do

 

[SAfridi]

Thank Yk ! Great Knock Was Expecting a Double Hundred though..

 

[Arsal_AK]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

And NZ??

Considering they beat you on those wickets and we steamrolled them.

 

[Ikball]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bangladesh are a decent batting side on flat wickets (probably better than Pakistan).

Thats why NZ could win a test during their last tour to BD.

 

[Arsal_AK]

How many times have Pakistan scored 600 on a flat wicket?

How many times have NZ done the same??

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman with a single. He needs to make a 20 atleast.

 

[razabbas]

We've never lost a Test to Zim or Bangladesh.

Even we havent lost a test to bangladesh anyways enough of all these comments start a new Thread and enjoy

 

[Aman]

Yep, without a great spinner, we didn't have much of a chance.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good work by Sir Faraz. First target should be 400.

 

[razabbas]

Eranga back

 

[saiyan0312]

How many times have NZ done the same??

Dont feed the troll. He obviously got burned as we batted well and disappeared from the thread and has now come back fresh with off topic and senseless posts about how bangladesh are better then us.

 

[Sam18696]

Rehman seems relaxed.

 

[razabbas]

Avg Sixth-Wicket Partnership Since 2010

Lowest among all top 10 nations

 

[saiyan0312]

Eranga bowling short.

 

[Aman]

We scored 680 against India 6-7 months ago

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

He looks much better now that's he's more confident, that knock against SL looks to have done wonders for him.

Yeah. He means business.

Kidding.

He has definitely improved and has starting scoring consistently. I am not overrating or hyping him, obviously. He needs to score more consistently for me to rate him properly.

 

[SAfridi]

Erangaaaa

 

[Arsal_AK]

Yep, without a great spinner, we didn't have much of a chance.

Well Imagine what you will do in the U.A.E then. A predict a worse outing the England seeing as they had Swan and Monty.

 

[uberkoen]

Russell throwing out old commentary cliches without any shame!

Our lower order was pathetic. Our keeper couldnt bat and bowlers believed only in bowling not batting. I hope to see some changes as they will be needed against australia.

 

[Aman]

Burned for what? YK, Shafiq and Sarfraz have batted well, it doesn't change the fact the wicket is clearly eased up.

 

[Arsal_AK]

We scored 680 against India 6-7 months ago

Oh India.Give us India or pancakes and lets see what we do then.

 

[Aman]

Bangladeshi wickets are some of the flattest in the world, giving anything to our spinners will only bring them into the game.

 

[uberkoen]

We scored 680 against India 6-7 months ago

Honestly, who cares how many runs a team scores as long as they end up winning. A team could score a 1,000 runs but it wouldn't matter unless they won the game. We can win this game by scoring 400 odd runs here and that is what should matter.

 

[uberkoen]

Bangladeshi wickets are some of the flattest in the world, giving anything to our spinners will only bring them into the game.

Why don't you just move to Bangladesh man

 

[Arsal_AK]

Well you don't have any spinners so.....

 

[Aman]

Oh India.Give us India or pancakes and lets see what we do then.

Pancakes? It's difficult to bat in NZ in the first 20 overs, by then we'd probably have Pakistan 5 down

 

[razabbas]

Our lower order was pathetic. Our keeper couldnt bat and bowlers believed only in bowling not batting. I hope to see some changes as they will be needed against australia.

Only sarfaraz is the hope and talha can hit few boundries too thats it

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Dean Jones is impressed with Sarfraz:

"The way he goes about his job has impressed me."

 

[Sam18696]

India? )

 

[Ikball]

Newzeland could not score even 300 in Galle.

 

[Aman]

Well you don't have any spinners so.....

You don't have to be quality to run through Pakistan

 

[SAfridi]

Bangladesh shouldnt even play cricket.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sarfaraz is already a much better player than Misbah and Azhar Ali

 

[ExplicitAI]

Bangladeshi wickets are some of the flattest in the world, giving anything to our spinners will only bring them into the game.

Mr inconsistent Asad scored a ton over there

 

[Arsal_AK]

Newzeland could not score even 300 in Galle.

Well if they crossed 150, that should be considered a big achievement, considering how pathetic they are against spin.

 

[SAfridi]

Can Pakistan beat Bangladesh's score here?

GO Away!!!! Pleaseee

 

[razabbas]

Right now we are playing against SL not NZL [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] is just trying to be an attention seeker atm

 

[Aman]

Makes sense

 

[Aman]

Did I bring in NZ or did you?

 

[Saeed]

Abdur rehman should get out, such a boring batsman.

 

[Arsal_AK]

You don't have to be quality to run through Pakistan

Aman I feel for you man. What will you do after you guys get the beating of a lifetime come November.

 

[Aman]

Yeah quality side after beating NZ 4-0

Yeah, our Test side is the same as our ODI side
