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

[uberkoen]

Didn't seem to pick it!

He picked it fine.

 

[hussain.r97]

Rehman looks the least threatening..

 

[hussain.r97]

He picked it fine.

Never mind, my stream is delayed haha, I thought it's a doosra, good leave in the end.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rehman looks the least threatening..

Yup.That why I wanted Wahab to play over him.

 

[Nuekboi]

Misbah should mix things up just before the close and get Junaid in for a couple of overs

 

[Mamoon]

Spinners losing the plot here.

 

[saiyan0312]

What about the dropped catch and the edges off of his deliveries?

Got one outside edge and apart from that didnt look threatening. ajmal looks very threatening which is why he must make sure the srilankan batsmen stay under pressure by not scoring off him.

 

[hussain.r97]

I think we should finish off with pace, and try rough them up. Leave the spinners fresh for tomorrow...

 

[saiyan0312]

I still cant forget that appeal. We let the most dangerous batsman in the world off.

 

[hussain.r97]

Got one outside edge and apart from that didnt look threatening. ajmal looks very threatening which is why he must make sure the srilankan batsmen stay under pressure by not scoring off him.

Not even Ajmal is looking threatening...

 

[uberkoen]

Well fielded.

 

[Nuekboi]

Shezza quality fielding

 

[Arsal_AK]

Got one outside edge and apart from that didnt look threatening. ajmal looks very threatening which is why he must make sure the srilankan batsmen stay under pressure by not scoring off him.

We should go with Ajmal and Junaid till the end of play.

 

[Nuekboi]

Not even Ajmal is looking threatening...

WHAT? Are you and I watching the same game?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Not even Ajmal is looking threatening...

What are you watching??

 

[Markhor]

Delighted with the 451 total but we need to dismiss Sangakkara ASAP. A wicket before stumps and it'll be our day again.

 

[uberkoen]

Junni back on.

 

[saiyan0312]

Not even Ajmal is looking threatening...

Bro ajmal is looking good. The guy has done well and has troubled the batsmen even sanga.

Junaid in.

 

[hussain.r97]

WHAT? Are you and I watching the same game?

What are you watching??

He's not looking threatening enough... He's looking a little dangerous, but otherwise they seem to be playing him with ease.

 

[saiyan0312]

We should go with Ajmal and Junaid till the end of play.

That should be the plan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This wicket is so flat.. No wonder we scored this many.

 

[saiyan0312]

He's not looking threatening enough... He's looking a little dangerous, but otherwise they seem to be playing him with ease.

Its a flat pitch so him looking this dangerous is very good.

 

[saiyan0312]

Now the only swing we will see is reverse swing tomorrow hopefully.

 

[Fastandfurious]

SL should be 3 down, missed 2 chances. Can't afford that on a pitch like this or any pitch in SL.

 

[hussain.r97]

Its a flat pitch so him looking this dangerous is very good.

That's true I guess, but Rehman is looking horrible!

 

[saiyan0312]

sanga is looking good there. some fine class there against junaid

 

[hussain.r97]

Now the only swing we will see is reverse swing tomorrow hopefully.

Looking forward to some reverse swingers by !

 

[Mamoon]

Ajmal is bowling tightly but isn't extracting much turn.

 

[saiyan0312]

That's true I guess, but Rehman is looking horrible!

Yeah rehman has bowled a few loose balls. He needs to keep it tight otherwise they can easily block ajmal and attack him.

 

[saiyan0312]

Looking forward to some reverse swingers by !

Same here. Hopeful of some reverse swing.

 

[hussain.r97]

Wicket is as flat as a pancake! I hope our score is actually enough...

 

[Mamoon]

Silva is a rock. I would kill a puppy to have an opener like him in our team. Extremely boring, but his concentration is amazing and does his job.

 

[saiyan0312]

inside edge there. There was gap between bat and pad in that defence.

 

[saiyan0312]

Maiden at this point junaid should bowl some yorkers to stumps.

 

[hussain.r97]

This is why we needed Wahab, I thought Talha would play his role, but he's just trundling... We need someone like Wahab to rough up the batsmen on such a flat track! Junaid is looking comparatively aggresive!

 

[saiyan0312]

bounce there for junaid. Good one.

 

[saiyan0312]

fuller bowl and hits the pad but missing leg there i think. Half a shout

 

[Mamoon]

Gul 2.0 has started to trundle. Needs some reverse swing.

 

[saiyan0312]

Crowd came alive suddenly. Srilanka being chanted left and right.

 

[hussain.r97]

Crowd came alive suddenly. Srilanka being chanted left and right.

I first thought they're saying 'Jeetey ga bhai jeetey ga'

 

[saiyan0312]

Good pace there by junaid. They wont make mistakes when the day is about to end.

 

[saiyan0312]

I first thought they're saying 'Jeetey ga bhai jeetey ga'

LOLZ... ) )

I am surprised they came alive when only 6 overs are left.

 

[saiyan0312]

Sanga may also end up with a 33 from 100 balls.

 

[saiyan0312]

ohh tight ball with the turn but sanga is class. Picked it.

 

[Electron]

Unless Pakistan have a second innings collapse, I don't see a result here.

 

[saiyan0312]

short ball and what a pull shot there by sanga and well fielded.

 

[saiyan0312]

Unless Pakistan have a second innings collapse, I don't see a result here.

or srilanka has a 4th inning collapse. Still 3 days left.

 

[WebGuru]

Sangs showing his class once again!

 

[saiyan0312]

Class shot. Pulled a short ball from outside off and played like a master.

 

[hussain.r97]

Not the right line!

 

[saiyan0312]

Sangs showing his class once again!

That was walking class. Get him out early or else they will pile on runs.

 

[Electron]

or srilanka has a 4th inning collapse. Still 3 days left.

This Lanka batting scares me on flat tracks. Too strong for a collapse.

 

[saiyan0312]

what a shot. smashed it. Junaid without reverse swing is not going to get wickets here. nobody will.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Fastandfurious]

Gosh Sri Lanka just pisses me off on flat tracks. They give no freaken chances.

 

[WebGuru]

That was walking class. Get him out early or else they will pile on runs.

Run Machine mode activated

 

[hussain.r97]

I reckon Wahab would have been quite effective against Sanga, Wahab can get those bouncers really accurate. Our attack is lacking penetration, 4 bowlers strategy may be backfiring.

 

[saiyan0312]

This Lanka batting scares me on flat tracks. Too strong for a collapse.

They are smashing everything so yeah you may be right especially the maestro of flat tracks in srilanka who is abt to retire.

 

[saiyan0312]

Run Machine mode activated

well if not now we will get him at 199 like last time in 2012.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Desperately need a wicket at this stage of the game

 

[WebGuru]

I am afraid Sanga average will jump to 59+ by the end of this series... This guy is averaging 70+ after the age of 35

 

[WebGuru]

well if not now we will get him at 199 like last time in 2012.

Us se acha hai mere bhai usko double kerne do kya ferq perta hai phr match to hath aana nae

 

[saiyan0312]

I am afraid Sanga average will jump to 59+ by the end of this series... The guy is averaging 70+ after the age of 35

so a genuine 60+ avger will cement his place. ATG player no doubt about it. That review man.

 

[WebGuru]

haha look at ajju explaining his tricks

 

[dhump]

this is going towards a seriously boring draw.

 

[saiyan0312]

Us se acha hai mere bhai usko double kerne do kya ferq perta hai phr match to hath aana nae

Satisfaction that we didnt let him get one. He failed to reach twice in the series. one out and one notout.

Outside edge that falls short. story of this innings so far.

 

[Aman]

Wicket is as flat as a pancake! I hope our score is actually enough...

SL may well score 600+ and force a result.

 

[WebGuru]

so a genuine 60+ avger will cement his place. ATG player no doubt about it. That review man.

Yup already an ATG player for me

 

[saiyan0312]

this is going towards a seriously boring draw.

if this is a draw then it will be a 0-0 series.

 

[Sakss]

how many edges do these guys want

 

[dhump]

SL may well score 600+ and force a result.

This is also possible with Pakistan always have collapse coming.

 

[ExplicitAI]

100 nearly up for SL

 

[saiyan0312]

Yup already an ATG player for me

He is that for everybody.

Oh that turned back and silva is down? hey what the hell man.

 

[saiyan0312]

SL may well score 600+ and force a result.

They will have to bat like 2 days for that and take us out to beat us with an innings. Cmon thats not happening.

 

[WebGuru]

Satisfaction that we didnt let him get one. He failed to reach twice in the series. one out and one notout.

Outside edge that falls short. story of this innings so far.

Thats true but still he will enjoy his bradman like average against us

 

[saiyan0312]

Thats true but still he will enjoy his bradman like average against us

Oh yeah. that guy has decoded us like a master.

 

[Mr Consistent]

lanka 99-1 after day 2

 

[ExplicitAI]

And that's stumps

 

[Mr Consistent]

Sri Lanka trail by 352 runs

 

[saiyan0312]

STUMPS.... Seriously silva wth?
