30 overs left

we are nothing ahead, Need Minimum of 30 Runs, Srilanka should win this
 
100 runs lead and Pak might pull it off, I feel.. Come on Men in Green lets gooooooooo .... :)

Dude get over it, that ranking is temporary, on reset you'll fall to 6th or 7th.

Winning no series and losing Tests to Zim would do that to you.

He asked me a simple question and I answered.

It true by the way we remain at three and then we get you people and Aus in the U.A.E.
 
We can still draw this. In fact, the chances are that it will end in a draw. I wouldn't bet on a Sri Lanka victory.
 
That would be the end of the session too. Tea has been taken. What drama! the pitch hasn't turned or spat, it's a combination of some excellent discipline from the Sri Lanka bowlers, some smart captaincy from Angelo and a muddled approach from Pakistan. Once Younis and Misbah were dismissed, Pakistan were always going to be in trouble. The lead is only 71.
 
When we come out there should be two thing in our batsmen minds. 50 more runs and bat atleast 10 overs.
 
We have lost it even if we add 20-30 runs that is best we can do, I dont expect Talha and Junaid to survive more than 5 overs that would mean 90-100 in 25 overs, should be a cakewalk for Srilanka

A little bit of rotation of strike...

Good to see.

They can't just block everything.

I knew they would lose if they blocked eveything.

Miserable batting display.

Now lets just hope Talha and Junaid survive.
 
It would be amazingly funny if srilanka need 100 in 20 overs and they go for a draw. Infact i really think they will. :P

It was common knowledge and all of us were praying it wont be true but it was. I dont know why misbah doesnt learn. Its like he has his mind made up that the only way to bat at day 5 for a draw is too block. They all should have played positively rather than thinking about blocking everything.
 
Pakistan came out with a negative approach. Shehzad played against his instincts and misbah just played awfully. I dont mind if you tuk tuk but you gotta rotate the strike not just sit like ducks.

We're doing good now. We've got a hold of the game. The panic has subdued. I think we can draw this.

i told u yesterday Pak can lose this. we never know with Pak batting.
pathetic stuff from the batsmen. they have come close to losing this.
 
So many Pakistan cricket haters on here. Makes one wonder why they're even on a Pakistan Cricket forum?

Misbah's strike rate was better than Shehzad and Azhar ali who made 41 off 151 balls.

If anything, Misbah is to be blamed for getting out when his team needed him most.

Not his Poor S/R.

At least analyze properly.
 
lol Aman thinks NZ are better then PAK.

Bro serious do you remember 2011?

We came to your country. Beat you in the first test. Almost beat u in the second where it was a draw and then hammered you in the ODIS?

And we are going to do the same to you when you come to the UAE.

I don't know why anyone would even take NZ seriously. Didn't they get hammered by Bangladesh?
 
Guys lets not turn this into yet another NZ vs Pak debate :facepalm:

Seen it 10 times already. There's even another thread for it
 
We are just about to start the last session. The mandatory hour starts at around 4.15 pm, 65 minutes from here.

You are right. Why even give NZ the importance it does not deserve? Discussing NZ vs PAK is like arguing whether Bangladesh will ever be as good as Pakistan. Pointless and a complete waste of time (because it will never happen.)

Oh i am sorry expert analyst but a poor S/R of 43 is in no way means that the strike was being rotated. I made a point about strike rotation not about strike rate. Maybe you need to check for what S/R means. Expert analyst sire.
 
I think PAK could have won this game if they batted with intent from early morning. & maybe if we get 120 here we could perhaps win?!?

Don't get your panties in a twist.
 
[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] please shut your trap about Nwzland in every thread. I for one is tired from you. Seriously. I am gonna report you the next time for de-railing threads.

He says "Misbah SR was better" but doesnt tell the SR. Typical.
 
Guys do we have enough time for a full sessions play. I just tuned in can't believe what happened :o

We're just making the game exciting. It was going to end in a draw anyone might as well make it worth watching along the way.

In that effect I was watching the match so I know how much strike was rotated by each batsmen, not just Misbah.

I can tell you 3 other batsmen whose strike rotation was worse than Misbah today.

You are just hating because its Misbah.
 
start the rain dance now. where is the rain when u need it
