Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | August 6-10, 2014 | Galle | Day 3

[Aman]

I would not mind him breaking the record that is what records are for. I still think it is not easy for him to break it even now would be epic achievement. But I would be disappointed if wicket is made for record and not for result.

It's unrealistic, can't see Sanga scoring 600 in two tests against anyone not named Bangladesh.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bowling looks flat here and SL making things look very easy, lack of 5th bowling option is a worry to, we need a massive cluster of wickets here now.

 

[saiyan0312]

We go back to junaid khan. ajmal bowled very well yesterday. How is he bowling today?

 

[hussain.r97]

What a bouncer!

 

[saiyan0312]

Awesome bouncer. Junaid looks very good against Srilanka.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good bouncer by

 

[Mr Consistent]

top shot by jaya

 

[hussain.r97]

Rehman has been the worst of our bowlers, Ajmal hasn't looked penetrating, only Junaid seems to be causing just a little but of trouble.

 

[Justcrazy]

superb shot !!! pure class.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Junaid so deserves a wicket.Has been excellent since his second spell today.

 

[saiyan0312]

Rubbish from rehman. Looks a motorway apart from junaid extracting something.

 

[hussain.r97]

Junaid so deserves a wicket.Has been excellent since his second spell today.

Agreed, just waiting for the new ball now, no question for reverse swing, too wet

 

[Electron]

I feel for poor Junaid here. Nothing in the pitch. A typical Lankan stat-boosting session.

 

[Yatoo]

Sanga will make 300, MJ 200, we will be saving the test match on last day.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Atm Junaid is the only one bowling his heart out, not an Umar Gul

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara in 90s

 

[hussain.r97]

Junaid bowling his heart out, unfortunately the pitch is an absolute pancake.

 

[hur rizvi]

It is proving to be a poor pitch, Pitch hasnt deteriorated enough to help spinners and has nothing for seamers at all

 

[saiyan0312]

Drawn match. This series looks a 0-0.

 

[mosh101]

Need to break this partnership !

Sanga & mahela just destroying us !

 

[Dr_Bassim]

And i was castigated for saying that Pakistan scored 450, it must be an easy pitch.

 

[mosh101]

Rehman is such a hideous bowler !

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal with changed ends to bowl.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

This will be a really boring draw... Switching off the telly right about now

 

[Arsal_AK]

So close there.I feel he should keep at it there.Reversing it in to Sanga as he has looked a bit caught when its come in.Thats his best chance.

 

[hur rizvi]

Drawn match. This series looks a 0-0.

If SL get 100+ lead, there is slim chance of SL victory if herath runs through us on last day

 

[WebGuru]

Rubbish from rehman. Looks a motorway apart from junaid extracting something.

I can imagine South African bowlers frustration remember that partnership of 600+ runs btw Mahela and Sanga

 

[Justcrazy]

These two exposing Pakistan bowling ( including spinners ) here.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rehman is such a hideous bowler !

Thats why I wanted Riaz to play over him.He is past it as a bowler.

 

[hur rizvi]

These kind of pitches should be banned and concerned Board should be fined

 

[mosh101]

Oh how I wish we had taken that review yesterday

 

[saiyan0312]

I can imagine South African bowlers frustration remember that partnership of 600+ runs btw Mahela and Sanga

Yeah we will see this alot in the next test match on SSC

 

[Mir jibran]

Sanga will make 300, MJ 200, we will be saving the test match on last day.

kaeshur boye cha warai

 

[saiyan0312]

Those slip blunders and that review really haunting us.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

K something about to happen now..........i can feel it almost

 

[WebGuru]

K something about to happen now..........i can feel it almost

Yes bro you are right something i mean another century by Sanga is going to happen now...

 

[Yatoo]

kaeshur boye cha warai

Ahan haz thek. Che wen... Yeh match ha boring. Az karan hindustanas luth shamas. Tath ye mazi

 

[Justcrazy]

GregW: "If cricket were a game of Chess, you'd have Bradman as King but Sanga and Jayawardene would be strong knights. Not sure who would be queen " ---- I'd make Shane Warne the queen.

 

[Amjid Javed]

wonder if ICC will warn SL for making such a dead and lifeless surface!

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman better get a wicket or else he may start warming the bench soon.

 

[saiyan0312]

wonder if ICC will warn SL for making such a dead and lifeless surface!

They didnt do that when SSC existed so i dont think they will talk here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Jayawardhane gets Fifty

 

[Straight_Drive]

be it east pakistan or west pakistan...sanga always scores against them

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon ajmal and the bad news is we still have to face mathews.,

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Funnily enough, no one was complaining when Sarfraz and Rehman were hitting it balls like tennis balls out of the ground.

 

[mosh101]

Looks like we'll be in the field for a long time !

 

[Justcrazy]

Unless batsmen make mistake here , pakistan bowlers cannot get them out

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

funnily enough, no one was complaining when sarfraz and rehman were hitting it balls like tennis balls out of the ground.

thats because you cannot judge a pitch before both sides have batted

 

[hussain.r97]

it would be nice to get a wicket before the new ball, the new batsman would have to face the new ball....

[Electron]

I agree. A Lankan legend's last series, and the chances are that it will be two dull draws.

Jayawardne deserves better.

 

[Nuekboi]

So, are we heading towards another OH SO EXCITING draw in sri lanka?

 

[Justcrazy]

Will Pakistan get another wicket here ?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

thats because you cannot judge a pitch before both sides have batted

You can judge a pitch when even tailenders have no problems.

You just can't tell how flat it is, but you can basically tell if it's a batting pitch or a bowling pitch.

 

[Nuekboi]

Ded pitch ded game

Waiting for Ind vs Eng get underway again

 

[Justcrazy]

Both and wicketless after 28 and 16 overs

 

[saiyan0312]

Well the good news is shezad and azhar may score a century.

 

[saiyan0312]

keep trying junaid and ajmal combo. Its much better then rehman and ajmal combo.

 

[Mir jibran]

we lack a super fast bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

18th 100 run partnership between these two.

 

[Energetic]

Joke of a pitch and only serves to inflate records. 2 old teams.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another rubbish ball by rehman

 

[Mr Consistent]

fifty for rehman

 

[Shafi]

I get the feeling that we may loose this match

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman has been too rubbish here. We may have to find alternatives next test.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara 98 not out

 

[DrSchultz]

What is manna doing? Hafeez bowls better than this.

there are no alternatives.

 

[saiyan0312]

for sanga well played and now get out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sangakara gets Hundred with a

 

[world cup captain]

Well Talha has really ticked me off. Right now I think he should be replaced by a street bowler. Just bowling rubbish short balls at 134 KPH. Barely bowled a full or even a good length delivery. Rahat or Riaz should definitely come in for him.

 

[Justcrazy]

10th Hundred by Sangakara against Pakistan

 

[saiyan0312]

there are no alternatives.

I am willing to try a pacer instead of him but that would kill him on the biggest flat track in the world. SSC

 

[saiyan0312]

Sanga's last few innings 102*(today), 0, 72, 24, 76, 79, 55, 147, 61, 319, 105, 75, 52

We let this guy go and ofcourse we are his fav team.

 

[Electron]

10th hundred against Pakistan !!!!!

 

[Ahson8]

Damn it man, we could have had him at 13 if we had reviewed.

SL also missed a trick by not reviewing for YK when he was at 20-30 runs.

 

[Electron]

3 teams Sanga averages 80+ against - Pak,Bangla and Zimbo

Doesn't average even 60 against any other team.

 

[saiyan0312]

Rain and flat tracks. MAN!!
