Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | August 6-10, 2014 | Galle | Day 5

[Ikball]

Ramiz can u please start dancing infront of the sight screen.

 

[imshally81]

Match is gone

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistanis need to know Leg side isnt wide in test matches, They can waste few balls bowling leg sidish line

 

[saiyan0312]

only 2 from the over..

77 needed from 16 overs.

 

[Fastandfurious]

You need top class fast bowlers in such situations. A couple of wickets with the new ball here would have set SL back.

Teray pas koin hain?

 

[uberkoen]

In ODI taht would have been a wide.

In case you haven't noticed this is a test match

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on man. Need 3 wickets.

SANGA, MAHELA and MATTHEWS

 

[Nuekboi]

Ajju bowling negative line now

 

[waleed88]

There is also a big difference between Pakistan,chasing down a score and srilanka chasing it down. Pakistan panicked and lost 3 wickets while trying to chase down the lead

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid to bowl. cmon junaid bowl yorker.

 

[Mamoon]

Teray pas koin hain?

Hotay to batata. We are the new Bhaarat.

 

[Adil_94]

World of difference between Herath's bowling and Ajmal's on the same surface.

Herath has outbowled him but apart from Misbah and YK our batsman are clueless against Spin. Its our batting approach has let us down we try to tuk tuk like SA but we arent good enough to do that the Sharjah Test showed if you put Herath under pressure he can crumble too. Our negative mindset played into Heraths hands.

 

[Square Drive]

Go away man. It's not over till its over.

Go. We're better off without negative people like you.

Negative? You must be kidding me! I'm known to be one of the most positive posters here. This is the first time in AGES that I'm so pizzed off, because this is a game I NEVER expected us to lose - and we lost it with our OWN HANDS!!!

 

[waleed88]

Srilanka look relaxed, even though the sane score, had Pakistan had to chase down 90 in 20 overs, the match could've gone both ways

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This might still be a draw.

 

[saiyan0312]

In case you haven't noticed this is a test match

chill out. i am trying to ease the tension.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Excellent fielding by Shezzy.

 

[Adil_94]

Shezzy good fielding only good thing he has done this game

 

[Mamoon]

Herath has outbowled him but apart from Misbah and YK our batsman are clueless against Spin. Its our batting approach has let us down we try to tuk tuk like SA but we arent good enough to do that the Sharjah Test showed if you put Herath under pressure he can crumble too. Our negative mindset played into Heraths hands.

Yes true, but Ajmal has been disappointing.

 

[waleed88]

This might still be a draw.

10 wickets left, highly unlikely

 

[uberkoen]

Good ball Junaid!

 

[Nuekboi]

Jonty Shehzad at work as usual

 

[Nikhil_cric]

77 off 94 required. Not an easy chase by any means.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good dot balls by junni

 

[uberkoen]

I think we can draw this one still.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Juni cranking it up 142 now

 

[saiyan0312]

shezad fielding very well.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Good fielding by Ahmed. Need a few tight overs, we can still survive this.

However, I agree with you Square drive. I am not ******, but def disappointed how it came to this.....

 

[Electron]

Jayawardne must be confused right now. If he gets out here, his career average may drop below 50 !!

Pakistan should keep him on strike.

 

[Square Drive]

Come on BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid's average 30 now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

10 wickets left, highly unlikely

Yeah but they need to score runs quickly. Not easy on this pitch now.

 

[Square Drive]

I think we can draw this one still.

I'd go dancing around Canada if we do - would make my year!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

75 from 91.

 

[saiyan0312]

full balls should be used here. they can be usefull

 

[Bullet Drive]

Terrible field.

 

[m.shah]

Pak looking flat

 

[Adil_94]

Yes true, but Ajmal has been disappointing.

Yeah i agree with that Ajmal should have been better in this game. His Test performances have gone down in the last few months. Just hope he has enough left to do well against AUS and NZ. I never expected Ajmal to run through Lankans.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Horrible field placement.

 

[Fastandfurious]

We don't like boring draws. Thank you Pakistan for making this an exciting match.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Right now is where someone like Afridi would come good.

 

[OZGOD]

Yeah but they need to score runs quickly. Not easy on this pitch now.

Honestly if they can't score 75 runs with 10 wickets in hand in 15 overs on a featherbed they should all retire.

 

[uberkoen]

Good over this

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Do Sri Lanka choke?

 

[Mamoon]

The thing that bothers me, if we are in such a situation and promote someone like Younis or Misbah to open, they will let us down and fail.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Run rate 5 per over.

 

[Mr Consistent]

75 from 15 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

75 from 90 balls.

Lets bring the RR to 6. Come on boys

 

[hur rizvi]

Required rate 5 RPO ...

Ajmal needs to bowl down the leg side for 1-2 overs atleast

 

[Mamoon]

Ajmal is finished. Please retire before you become a burden on the team.

 

[Nuekboi]

Juni bowling TAIGHT need to keep it up

 

[saiyan0312]

75 from 90 balls. Man ODI position here.

 

[battler]

sl need to go at 5 rpo now.
A draw still on the cards!

 

[hur rizvi]

Required rate 5 RPO ...

Ajmal needs to bowl down the leg side for 1-2 overs atleast

 

[Big Mac]

That was a great shot from Mahela

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I mean if this was South Africa, we would already know the result is a draw.

Does Sri Lanka choke?

 

[Mamoon]

Hafeez would have been useful here.

 

[uberkoen]

Right now is where someone like Afridi would come good.

Funniest thing I've heard all day

Bring in a useless hack

 

[Bullet Drive]

75 from 90 balls.

Lets bring the RR to 6. Come on boys

 

[battler]

:4 mahela hits the reverse sweep!

 

[hur rizvi]

To bowl a leg stump line Ajmal needs to bowl around the wicket to MAhela

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid needs to bowl his yorkers from one end.

 

[akamaka]

Most retarded field ever.

 

[Electron]

Good comeback from Ajju.

 

[Mamoon]

This is Sharjah Test all over again at a much smaller scale and the roles have been reversed.

 

[carbon11]

take ajmal off u brainless captain

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Honestly if they can't score 75 runs with 10 wickets in hand in 15 overs on a featherbed they should all retire.

There is some uneven bounce out there and it is turning quite sharply but yes SL should play to win here anyway.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hat trick would be nice..

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon ajju. no more runs. and only 4 from it. thats good. 71 needed now from 84 balls.

 

[Nuekboi]

Ajju and Juni playing well but too few runs to play with

 

[ViciousMachine]

Great comeback by Ajmal, 4 from the first ball, then 5 dots to end it.

It is not as easy to score 5 an over in a test match on day 5 as you people seem to think. Pak can still get away with this, just need 2-3 wickets, that is all.

 

[hur rizvi]

71 from 84, Easy win for Lanka

Either Pakistan are playing too fair or they dont know about negative bowling

 

[saiyan0312]

field set is very shocking. Looks like misbah has given up.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

sri Lanka would need an epic choke from here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Taslim: "@Dev, All these times you're answering a simple question, tough one for you; Can Pakistan win from here ?" --- that's also easy.. No.


had hai yaar )

 

[waleed88]

Cmon ajju. no more runs. and only 4 from it. thats good. 71 needed now from 84 balls.

that won't make a difference. Even if they have to score 50 from 5 overs they can coz they have wickets in hand

 

[Nuekboi]

Too bad we will automatically lose as soon as Talha or Rehman are brought on

 

[Bullet Drive]

There is some uneven bounce out there and it is turning quite sharply but yes SL should play to win here anyway.

What game u watching?

 

[saiyan0312]

We desperately need wickets here.

 

[Sakss]

71 off 14 overs

Will it be done...
