Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 1st Test | Galle | 23/06/12 | Day 2

[Iqbal'sh]

Yes but had there been DRS, Taufeeq would have been reprieved and Gul gotten his 3 wickets so right now we are being heavily punished for the Sri Lankan board not being able to afford DRS!

Elite level umpires should be competent enough to make correct decisions most of the time without relying on DRS.

What we have seen are some shocking howlers from the officials that starts to question the credibility of Davis, and particularly Gould.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Maiden. Good start.

 

[talha3]

9 to go...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan always get the horrible decisions.

 

[Bullet Drive]

What was that YK?

 

[Bullet Drive]

This partnership is crucial! If another wicket goes I see us following on. Anyway good over.

 

[talha3]

Younis looks solid so far.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez back on strike. Done well so far.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez needs to carry on rotating strike. He gets bogged down to often!

 

[Gilly]

Fans from other countries accept that their team will get some good and bad decisions and realise its just part of the game. Pakistan fans are not sporting enough to accept that you get the good with the bad and call the umpires racist, biased and abuse the umpires every time they get the opportunity. Its like how Butt and Asif will never admit they are wrong its just the mindset.

I know that now everyone is going to list every poor decision that Pakistan has had since 1950 and tell me how biased and racist I am, its just like I explained.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is getting bogged down. His mental strength will be tested here.

 

[QazzarFan]

Rubbish umpiring so far....ICC really needs to enforce DRS at least in Test matches across all board

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another maiden. Too much pressure being applied.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

pak defending stoutly here, against podgy left arm spinners

what a appeal

 

[Bullet Drive]

Herath to Hafeez.

 

[doctordamor]

what a appeal

and i cant believe ramiz and SL commentators backing that appeal way outside off stump playing shot and they tlking like it was great escape

 

[chacha kashmiri]

surprisngly not given out there, he was only mm's away apparently

 

[qamar84]

umpire are not racist just idiot ,incompetent , blind ...............................

 

[A.M.]

nicely played by Hafeez

 

[Space Cat]

That ball nearly snuck through onto off stump.

 

[qamar84]

start to be very dark out there

seriously qts of bias does comes up when constantly decsion are given against a partcular team. Nice rant though.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

randiv comes on in bad light

 

[ads101]

never really get randiv, always seems very average. Useful in limited overs but doesn't look like a test bowler.

 

[Bullet Drive]

39-2

 

[A.M.]

i think the light meter is coming out

 

[talha3]

Younis is so crucial here. Our best player of spin. Pace bowling won't be a threat to us until the next new ball.

 

[A.M.]

sweep for one

 

[ads101]

Looks kind of dark now.

 

[imshally81]

Dropped !!

 

[talha3]

Hafeez!! Survives. Chill out now.

 

[A.M.]

dropped should have been taken

 

[farazaidi]

dafuq was that Hafeez?

dropped !!!

 

[A.M.]

Hafeez is playing well he should calm down

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor mentally from Hafeez.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sweeping well is YK

 

[chacha kashmiri]

and hafeez takes out some anger on herath, that should limit the caromballs

 

[ads101]

was poor from hafeez. You shouldn't do that in tests. Even if you hit it hard. Think Hafeez thought if he hit it hard enough straight it'd be fine, but if it finds the fielder, it can get caught.

 

[farazaidi]

Herath and Kulasekara, always the two dangermen for Pakistan !!!

 

[Space Cat]

Herath looking dangerous. Batsman need to take it easy as getting out now would be a disaster.

 

[A.M.]

4 overs left

 

[doctordamor]

is it me or ball spinning more now?

 

[A.M.]

another single

 

[farazaidi]

what in the blue hell is Hafeez trying to out there?

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez is walking wicket

 

[waqar goraya]

hafeez has not played a single herath ball convincingly

 

[A.M.]

Hafeez needs to calm down!!

 

[imshally81]

 

[ads101]

Hafeez after some rubbish shots.

 

[talha3]

Disaster

 

[Space Cat]

That looked plumb

 

[A.M.]

lbw given

 

[farazaidi]

and Hafeez is gone .... it was eminent really !

 

[doctordamor]

plumb lbw

 

[A.M.]

that was plumb

 

[Bullet Drive]

He is mentally so weak.

 

[imshally81]

That looked plumb

Yes... that was plumbed

 

[waqar goraya]

it was just matter of time

 

[talha3]

Looked terrible out there in the last 20 mins

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal in

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez has a horrible technique against left arm slow.

 

[Saj]

Anyone know if there is going to be much rain over the next few days?

 

[chacha kashmiri]

sri lankan batsmen would have got an inside edge on that

 

[doctordamor]

inning defeat on cards man

 

[Space Cat]

Thought the umpire wasn't gona give it. When the batsman gets squared up and trapped on the crease in front like that its always plumb.

 

[A.M.]

Ajmal the night watchman in

 

[farazaidi]

nightwatchman in

 

[JibranAnsari]

damn

 

[Obeid]

Our best batsman is in

 

[Asif321]

kaptaan ji leaves the field

 

[imshally81]

Ajmal gone

 

[leatherface58]

apparently hafeez found out it's not so easy to tuk after all
