[waqar goraya]

the negativity here is laughable really. Its only 1st day and some of you have already lost the game, pitiful

hmmm.what to expect from 268-2....a collapse for 30 runs??

 

[qamar84]

whooooooo ajmal

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal really frustrating. He hasn't got the wicket bowling there. Go bloody over the wicket!

 

[Bullet Drive]

269-2. Solid as a rock.

 

[waqar goraya]

so lets hope with the new ball in 4 overs!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rehman has been successful bowling quickly. Today he's been flighting

 

[Justcrazy]

Restricting runs is not going to help.

 

[JibranAnsari]

530/4 d in 150 overs. prediction.

 

[qamar84]

one good thing today for is fielding has been great today

 

[Bullet Drive]

99*

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sangakara 99* Horrible ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[waqar goraya]

[qamar84]

[Bullet Drive]

That's the over. AJMAL GO OVER THE WICKET!

 

[Justcrazy]

you dont have to get them under 300 to force a result. Teams have lost after scoring 500 incase you dont know

Its too early to be talking about the result anyway. Lets see how Pakistan bat on this wicket and then we'll know how flat it really is

 

[waqar goraya]

530/4 d in 150 overs. prediction.

hmmmm.why would they at 530...??
600 if there is no one left close to 100

 

[leatherface58]

fountain's tweet seems to have done the work.

277 /2

 

[Bullet Drive]

100 up for Sangakara. He's a beast against Pakistan.

2 or 3 times????in 2000 above tests in history..if you know...

 

[JibranAnsari]

600 if there is no one left close to 100

Sangakarra will get out at 195 and they will declare

 

[farazaidi]

well played Sanga, chanceless so far too which is a rarity

 

[farazaidi]

2 or 3 times????in 2000 above tests in history..if you know...

they've been more instance actually. Anyway, it doesnt mean we'll lose, we can still draw

Oh and by the way they havnt even scored 300 yet, let alone 500. Dont get too far ahead of the game,

 

[Bullet Drive]

He loves playing us!

 

[talha3]

Sanga was the reason we didn't win the test series in UAE by more than 1-0. The only innings he didn't make a 50 in was in the match we won.

Looks like the same will be the case in this series. If we want to win, need to get Sanga early.

 

[qamar84]

281/2 79 overs

[Bullet Drive]

Last ball before the new ball.

 

[hur rizvi]

He is not ready for any sort of international cricket

 

[IAJ]

Junaid Khan ground mein samosey pakodhey bechney aya hai ya?

Hopefully he can contribute with the new ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great fielding.

 

[qamar84]

beautiful fielding maiden over

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid's chance to shine now. Had a long break, new ball in hand. Go young kid.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Faisal Iqbal with that dive.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rambo is with Russel.

[Markhor]

Salaam all. Kumar Sangakkara has the joint most hundreds vs Pakistan.

 

[waqar goraya]

they've been more instance actually. Anyway, it doesnt mean we'll lose, we can still draw

Oh and by the way they havnt even scored 300 yet, let alone 500. Dont get too far ahead of the game,

well it will be very optimistic..
but lets see if they bat out pak with 500...which seems likely at the moment

 

[qamar84]

sanga avg against us is impressive 84.0

 

[Bullet Drive]

Take the new ball!

 

[qamar84]

Herath and parera will cause havoc , write it down somewhere.

Nahi yaar.
Yahan ki predictions likhtey likhtey pencil aadhi ho gayi aur kagaz bhi nahi bachey. Upar se prediction ek bhi dhang ki nahi nikli

 

[farazaidi]

[imshally81]

[talha3]

Looks like no new ball today.

 

[NeVerMind]

[qamar84]

50 up for jaya shouldn't had pass even 20 if we had a good umpire

[Torpedo]

If we cant win in SL, then forget about winning in SA.

 

[qamar84]

Pakistan lack an out and out fats bowler.

yeah we need some with big belly guys like salim malik and ijaz ahmed )

 

[NeVerMind]

Pakistan lack an out and out fats bowler.

why would you want a fat bowler? i am pretty happy they are all fit...

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be disappointed .. here after loosing ODI series.

 

[Markhor]

Driven through the off-side for four.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be dismantled by SA in SA............ I really hope those Tests are washed out somehow .

Saroj: "I cannot think Pakistan bowling is weak it is Sri Lankan batsman who are determined and making lesser mistakes and sticking to their basic
