[talha3]

Got him! That's a relief.

Well played Dilshan!

 

[waqar goraya]

 

[Watsupdoc]

finally!

 

[talha3]

Need to get Mahela early. If he gets his eye in, he'll cash in.

 

[amlafan79]

2nd wicket for ajmal..
rest of attack needs to help him

 

[farazaidi]

thats tea

SL 188/2

Another session goes to SL

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan isn't doing too bad, just that SL has batted extremely well.

 

[farazaidi]

only thing Pakistan should focus at now is to stem the run flow. Need to be patient for wickets on this track

 

[qamar84]

so great comeback by after his poor odi performance

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan needed that wicket! I hope we can get sanga and MJ out early in last session and start to pull this 1st day back.

 

[Executioner]

so great comeback by after his poor odi performance

He was ok, some brilliant fielding by the fielders and ensured that he has poor stats

 

[qamar84]

193/2 59 overs

 

[qamar84]

rehman to bowl

 

[A.M.]

Rehman to bowl

 

[qamar84]

rehman being unlucky today bowl very well but couldn't get any wickets

 

[qamar84]

good overs only singles given by rehman

 

[qamar84]

60 overs 194/2

 

[qamar84]

need to get jayawardene early because he has very good record on this ground

 

[qamar84]

the balance of ours teams is not good only two seamers and 2 spinners

 

[qamar84]

195/2 after 61 overs

 

[qamar84]

sanga

 

[farazaidi]

Hafeez should bring himself on from Rehman's end

 

[qamar84]

srilanka 200 up

 

[qamar84]

need a seamer to trouble jayawardene little bit

 

[A.M.]

200/2

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on. 2 more wickets.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[qamar84]

beauty shot by jayawardene to get off the mark

 

[Bullet Drive]

[Bullet Drive]

Why the hell is he bowling round the wicket.

 

[qamar84]

reverse sweep by jaya for

 

[czarkeen]

where is rehman's arm ball

got many wickets in england series from that

 

[A.M.]

Two very good shots from Jayawerdena

 

[talha3]

Expensive over from Ajmal.

 

[qamar84]

look guys every body here are shouting at pakistan slow run rate even in test look at srilanka run rate 3.36

 

[Amjid Javed]

One thing is clearly evident from the lack of DRS Batsmen are more willing to take on spinners knowing that they are more likely to survive the close shouts due to bowlers not being able to refer anything.

 

[Amjid Javed]

MJs favourite venue this! pretty much where he scores all his runs. King of HTBs!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal go over the bloody wicket

 

[A.M.]

Ajmal continues

 

[waqar goraya]

look guys every body here are shotuing at pakistan slow run rate even in test look at srilanka run rate 3.36

but its not about only strike rate...its about not allowing the bowlers to settle down by cashing on loose balls and strike rotation

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan hemoraging to many runs here! Sri lanka could easily be 300-330 at close of play here which helps advance the game with quick scoring!

 

[Sidcricfan]

another patta

 

[qamar84]

very lucky escape a catch her mahela

 

[Bullet Drive]

Annoying me. Go over the wicket!

 

[A.M.]

Lucky

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan giving away a boundary an over! this is **** poor!

 

[A.M.]

Good fielding

 

[qamar84]

good shot by sanga for

 

[qamar84]

another by sanga

 

[A.M.]

Four more

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rehman is bowling to slow and Ajmal is bowling from the wrong angle!

 

[waqar goraya]

thats good batting....there is no pressure on srilanka at all...will get runs as many they want

 

[NeVerMind]

Not even rehman is keeping it tight...

 

[qamar84]

yaaa allah very lucky here jaya

 

[qamar84]

beauty ball

 

[NeVerMind]

Current partnership 50 runs, 9.2 overs, RR: 5.35

 

[farazaidi]

these two have wheeled off, 50 partnership of just 57 balls

 

[qamar84]

look out to me here

 

[farazaidi]

[NeVerMind]

[qamar84]

ooooooooooohhhhheeeeeeeeeee umpire yeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh out haaaiiiiiiiii

 

[NeVerMind]

Plumb lbw not given and no DRS!!

 

[waqar goraya]

ian gould..

 

[IAJ]

What's up with the umpires these days????? The quality has really dipped!

 

[NeVerMind]

Seriously no test series should go ahead with DRS...

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Plumb lbw not given and no DRS!!

Umm, yes ump, why on earth was that not out?!

 

[Asif321]

wht the hell it was out ... wht kind of umpires they are

 

[Bullet Drive]

Robbed of a wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez onto bowl now.

 

[qamar84]

why we always get the dumbest umpires evry time whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[IAJ]

Not giving out is there is close to an criminal act, you have a flat wicket and the weather is hot and then you have these umpires huh

 

[doctordamor]

Ian gould strikes 3rd time in the inning this is criminal umpiring on flat track

 

[NeVerMind]

Umar Gul to DPMD Jayawardene, no run, loud shout for lbw, if that isn't an inside edge, that is close, yes, there is no inside edge, Pakistan have been denied once again today, Gul getting it to swerve in and hitting him just below the knee roll, that was taking out leg stump, at the very least, Gul is disgusted

Haven't seen all the match so were there some earlier bad decisions too?

 

[IAJ]

66.3
