Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | August 6-10, 2014 | Galle | Day 4

[crickster_92]

Misbah should have come instead of ajmal.. We are in some dire need of tuk tuk

 

[Shafi]

As usual we will loose this match!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal blocking well. tomorrow we should have him attack players.

 

[Zero]

Drop Manzoor, move Azhar to open, and have Akmal at 6.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

man ajmal looks more competent with the bat than manzoor tbh where do we find these openers man I am so frustrated right now with manzoor

 

[Mr Consistent]

Tuffey: "Well i am sure that Pakistan's tendency to make even a dead.match interesting will be acting here as well --- so for now, if i am not expecting the result, atleast i am expecting a dramatic finish of this game"

well said

 

[MRSN]

And people said it will be an easy draw..

 

[saiyan0312]

this may be the last over of the day. Srilanka on top with that wicket.

 

[hur rizvi]

Shehzad looks like getting out anytime now

 

[Nuekboi]

Except we aren't trying to win the game anyway

 

[saiyan0312]

Good there by shezad. Didnt tempt the drive on the flighted one.

 

[hur rizvi]

Almost shehzad

 

[Mr Consistent]

last ball of the day

 

[saiyan0312]

END of the day. Man manzoor really took us back.

 

[hur rizvi]

SL on Top, We have a real chance of collapse tomorrow morning

 

[Nuekboi]

Ajmal has license to hit tomorrow

 

[Mr Consistent]

Stumps - Day 4

 

[Mr Consistent]

Pakistan trail by 78 runs

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan cannot tuk tuk on this pitch.

I am telling you, if they play like this, the score will go nowhere and soon we will have 2-3 wickets in a heap.

Pakistan has to bat positively from tomorrow.

 

[hur rizvi]

78 looks like a Huge Huge lead now

 

[Mr Consistent]

day 5 will be an interesting day

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan cannot tuk tuk on this pitch.

PAkistan only Know Tuk Tuk ..

All depends on Misbah and YK... Ajmal, Shehzad and Azhar wont survive long tomorrow

 

[uberkoen]

LOL. Sending Ajmal in as night watchman.

Wonderful.

 

[Haz95]

Drop Manzoor, move Azhar to open, and have Akmal at 6.

Everyones saying that
Since we've invested so much is Shafiq, it should be Shehzad, Azhar, Shafiq, YK, Misbah, Junior, Sarfraz

 

[AnasK]

Unbelievable... Manzoor has really disappointed me. He can't play pace. He can't play spin. Is he really a batsman? Don't know how he had made 140+ against SA

 

[Hamza_]

40 to 44 overs and something like 270 to chase will be interesting

 

[Zero]

Shafiq at #3 could be a good idea actually, especially if he's going to play aggressively.
Would be nice to have Junior, as he can produce the impetus that our batting line-up is looking for so dearly.

Yes and he does look better vs spin than Azhar and Shehzad as well. Can tuk tuk hopefully like he did vs SA

 

[Sam18696]

So we might lose this after all

Exactly. Over cautious approach won't work here because of the unexpected behavior of the pitch. We need to play positively.

but i think we all know what captain's strategy would be. It may work or completely backfire cause you can't defend for 90 overs.
