Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | Galle | 21/06/12 | Day 1

[Justcrazy]

needs to bowl like the leader of the pack.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Horrible wicket to bowl on really.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 overs left

 

[Bullet Drive]

SA has better bowling conditions.

 

[Justcrazy]

These kind of wickets kill Test cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

ICC should into what kinds of pitches are prepared .......... there should be something for bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

is looking outdated.

 

[Torpedo]

Thilan still to come.

 

[saeedhk]

The same pitch would be a minefied when Pak bats

 

[attock]

Pakistan Fast bowlers need to up their pace..........

 

[waqar goraya]

SA has better bowling conditions.

for pakistan batsmen sir!!

 

[Markhor]

300 up for Sri Lanka.

 

[Justcrazy]

296 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 Pakistan bowlers getting treatment

 

[waqar goraya]

lets add junaid khan in the list of bhanja,damad,sami, etc

 

[Markhor]

Yeah can't stand these type of wickets, no real competition between bat and ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 up

 

[leatherface58]

Real cricket is really fun only in countries like Australia South Africa new Zealand and England it seems.unless subcontinent produces rank Turners it's dull as hell.

[farazaidi]

its not a rank turner, it'll give grip and turn only on 4th and 5th day

right now, its only slow turn which is easily negotiated

 

[Justcrazy]

300 / 2

 

[carbon11]

Well if umpires are not giving plumb lbws then why blame pakistani bowlers on a wicket that is a road

If Sri Lanka top order are getting 2 lives then they will cash in big using with luck and a slow flat pitch

Dilshan, sangakara, jaywardene, paranavitana, samraweera are all high class batsmen a much stronger batting unit than the Pakistani team.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be disappointed.

yeah.that's why.what's the point if Lanka get 600 and pak gets 500.

second innings may be out for 150-200.

 

[Asif321]

hahah what a day ...

 

[Firebolt]

last over of the day probably

 

[saeed-sohail]

I went to bed after SL won the toss. Can someone summarise the day please.

Have we bowled poorly to concede 300/2?
How the umpiring has been?

Any dropped catches?

 

[saeed-sohail]

These inside edges need to run for us.

 

[Markhor]

Stumps on Day One.

SL 300-2 | 90 overs

Faraz: "It isn't a case of ordinary bowling but a combination of an absolutely flat track, great batting conditions, solid application from Srilankans, home conditions and some quite ordinary umpiring decisions." Just one problem with this, it hasn't been a completely flat track, spinners have had lots of help all day

yes watch the match its hardly flat track... good spin for first day..
can promise u a result

The pitch has been extremely flat and Srilankan batsman took full advantage of it, no lose stuff from them. They piled on the runs.

Pakistan werent able to maintain pressure throughout the game. Gul bowled well today but got denied TWICE by Ian Gould. He had Pranavitana out caught not given and then Mahela out Lbw not given again, Ian Gould was the umpire on both occassions.

Junaid looked listless, Rehman tried toiled hard with no luck and Ajmal got the 2 wickets that fell.

Yep, agreed with this summary.

Umpiring standards are terrible, so many decisions on this tour going against us.

Why they picked Junaid with no cricket behind him. Would rather have seen cheema who is experienced and troubled sanga a lot in UAE.

if younis fails and no misbah in team..we will see quick change in pitch soon

 

[the Great Khan]

is looking outdated.

think people need to give the kid a break..he's not played much cricket and has been injured ..when he was fit and in rhythmn he gave this same team tons of problems...
