[saiyan0312]

for talha. very well deserved that one. Rehman and him deserved those hundreds.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

congrats talha for brilliant century

 

[Adil_94]

DRS without hotspot and snicko is poor

 

[Adil_94]

Talha is so rubbish.

 

[Nuekboi]

tullaybaaz bowling

Bring Junaid on for god's sake

 

[saiyan0312]

That only happens after 80 overs, Reviews are refreshed once in an innings

I thought they were refreshed every 80 overs like the new ball.

talha gets pulled by prasad. This guy is embarrassing us now!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Talha is a waste of space

 

[Shafi]

is this a test bowler???

 

[Mr Consistent]

o talha

 

[saiyan0312]

Sanga wants to keep strike. I guess he knows that he is the only one that can play ajmal now.

 

[hur rizvi]

If Junaid is tired bring on Rehman, Why is Talha being employed to give easy runs

 

[saiyan0312]

sanga will have to take some risks here.

 

[Nuekboi]

Come on Mathews, stop being boring and declare! I wanna see a result even if Pakistan loses

 

[saiyan0312]

If Junaid is tired bring on Rehman, Why is Talha being employed to give easy runs

Not rehman. shezad was better and was getting spin. if junaid is being saved for the new ball then give him a few overs.

 

[Nuekboi]

300/7 if we reviewed

 

[uberkoen]

I don't know why we are persisting with Talha when we have the likes of Asad Ali, Nasir Malik and Ehsan Adil waiting in the wings.

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman to bowl now.

 

[Shafi]

Sri Lanka is planning to play until lunch tomorrow to get big lead and tired Ajmal and Junaid.

 

[Madplayer]

pakistan can lose this game as well.

 

[Mr Consistent]

now rehman phainty time

 

[Arsal_AK]

Bring Junaid on please.It hurts to see Talha bowl.

 

[uberkoen]

pakistan can lose this game as well.

No, its a draw.

 

[saiyan0312]

good use of the feet and rehman stands no chance against him.

 

[Shafi]

Rehman is gone!!!

 

[Adil_94]

Rehman is bowling some tripe

 

[Nuekboi]

950 runs and 17 wickets. Classic SL pitch

 

[Madplayer]

we should have known that its a 650 run pitch when pakistan scored 450 on it

 

[junaid.ahmed]

if this double scored by a pakistani with this pace I am sure people will proclaim that the worst 200 ever scored by any batsman

 

[Shafi]

Lolly pop bowling!!!

 

[Adil_94]

Prasad playing Rehman with ease

 

[uberkoen]

Countries should be held accountable for preparing such woeful pitches.

 

[saiyan0312]

Prasad is playing rehman and talha easily.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rehman and Talha should not at any cost play the next test.

 

[Madplayer]

No, its a draw.

if they take a 200 run lead then anytging can happen given that the pitch is crumbling and they have herath and we have pakistani batsmen.

 

[saiyan0312]

Sanga has no problems advancing to rehman as he knows it wont spin or anything.

 

[leatherface58]

950 runs and 17 wickets. Classic SL pitch

No that would be 952 runs and 6 wickets. Arnold bragging how Lankans have 23 double centuries in their team. Gee I wonder why?

 

[uberkoen]

if they take a 200 run lead then anytging can happen given that the pitch is crumbling and they have herath and we have pakistani batsmen.

No bro. Its a draw.

 

[lameduck]

Is that just me or has misbah got skinnier

 

[uberkoen]

Is that just me or has misbah got skinnier

He looks old and frail

 

[uberkoen]

Ajmal 5fer coming up lads!

 

[Adil_94]

Most likely a draw but cant put it past Pakistan to collapse

 

[junaid.ahmed]

a comment from cricinfo
nash: "Prasad is considered a batsmen at first-class cricket so i guess sanga knows that so he's not farming the strike"

to add some spice in this
Talha made him at international level too...........

 

[Madplayer]

No bro. Its a draw.

most probably yes a draw.

 

[Shafi]

The problem is our selectors are influenced by media , does not any knowledge of modern cricket and too much favoritism.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I can accept anything but 125 kph??

How and why on earth was Talha doing it??

 

[Madplayer]

The problem is our selectors are influenced by media , does not any knowledge of modern cricket and too much favoritism.

just dont have good enough bowlers coming through. especially tear away fast bowlers

 

[junaid.ahmed]

what can selectors do with flat wickets

 

[saiyan0312]

Sanga vs ajmal. Sanga needs to be quick.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 runs

 

[Mr Consistent]

500 up for lanka

 

[Nuekboi]

He could have caught it if he was Jonty

 

[Adil_94]

Sanga smashing Ajmal now

 

[saiyan0312]

more. sanga on fire. we have to get rid of the tail fast.

 

[Madplayer]

sangakara does not have a weakness

 

[Mr Consistent]

another

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid must bowl the other over to remove prasad.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a shot by Sang a.

 

[Haz95]

sangakara does not have a weakness

Yes he does. Was exposed by the short ball by steyn and co. would slaughter him

 

[saiyan0312]

sangakara does not have a weakness

A small one. He is weaker ( compared to how strong he is against spin) against pace.

 

[Shafi]

Sanga has the best defense in the modern day cricket.

 

[saiyan0312]

[MENTION=133397]WebGuru[/MENTION] whats the most overs bowled by a bowler in an innings.

 

[uberkoen]

Sanga is a flat track bully.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This guy even now is just a superb player of spin. Turning pitch?Ajmal who?

 

[saiyan0312]

What a poor ball that is , pathetic bowling by rehman.

 

[Nuekboi]

BOOOOOOOOORED! Please SSC be more exciting

 

[Madplayer]

Yes he does. Was exposed by the short ball by steyn and co. would slaughter him

he is comparitively weaker when facing real quick pace but not bad at all

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yes he does. Was exposed by the short ball by steyn and co. would slaughter him

Quality quicks can expose most batsmen. I would hardly call that a weakness.

SSC is the flattest track in the world. Remember hafeez 194. thats where it came .

 

[saiyan0312]

Thanks!!

 

[uberkoen]

SSC is the flattest track in the world. Remember hafeez 194. thats where it came .

Even i could score a 200 on SSC

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal vs sanga. Sanga wont get out now.

 

[Haz95]

True I guess

 

[Shafi]

A commenter from cricinfo "I just hope selectors aren't blindfolded by the fact that this is only batting wicket and drop Rahman for next match! He is a genuinely good bowler and a very good partner to Ajmal on a better wicket."

 

[saiyan0312]

Sanga is really not exposing prasad to ajmal.

 

[saiyan0312]

In the air but falls short but man that was good fielding there to stop the four. Good commitment.

 

[uberkoen]

Well fielded man!

 

[Adil_94]

Good fielding by Shezzy

 

[Nuekboi]

Jonty Shehzad at work again :clap

 

[saiyan0312]

Prasad will face one ball from ajmal. Can that be the magic ball.
