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

[qamar84]

and bye on this overs

 

[qamar84]

full overs vs herath here maybe we get a wicket

 

[qamar84]

sanga on 180*

 

[qamar84]

minimum overs left today 31

 

[talha3]

9 down. 1 to go. Good fielding from Gul and Hafeez.

 

[ads101]

Good fightback here. Looks like we'll actually get them under 500.

 

[waqar goraya]

 

[ads101]

This guy's supposed to be a real tailender. Averages under 4 first class. Hopefully we'll get him cheaply.

 

[waqar goraya]

Good fightback here. Looks like we'll actually get them under 500.

now thats so funny of you..
perhaps you did not see some balls are really turning sharply

 

[ads101]

What a stop by Gulla!

 

[ads101]

now thats so funny of you..

doesn't change the fact we've taken some quick wickets. It looked easily over 500 at one point. It's a good comeback from there.

Even if some of the balls were turning sharply doesn't mean that it still isn't a good comeback. Plus the pitch still looks pretty good for batting.

 

[sada90]

isn't that out ..empires what can i say

 

[qamar84]

that out

 

[talha3]

Steve Davis

 

[carbon11]

what can pakistan do when the umpires are visibly biased

 

[qamar84]

umpiring against or for us

 

[talha3]

Clear edge. Not even a faint one.

 

[ads101]

Not sure what the ummpire was thinking not giving that out.

 

[LethalSami]

this is BS umpiring

 

[talha3]

Might as well have Ashoka and Doctrove.

 

[cricketpassion]

umpires seriously are rubbish

 

[talha3]

Tough catch.

 

[cricketpassion]

oh come on Hafeez should have taken this

 

[LethalSami]

 

[Ironcat]

Will have to score close to 600 and then dismiss SL cheaply on day 5. Otherwise, this is headed for a draw.

 

[waqar goraya]

))

 

[amlafan79]

six

 

[qamar84]

)

 

[talha3]

Sanga on 199. Pradeep to face a full over.

Extremely harsh if he gets left stranded

 

[carbon11]

the irony it would be if sanga is denied a double century and pradeep gets out

 

[qamar84]

sanga started celebrating but he is still on 199*

and one full overs vs last wickets on what a shame if we dismiss

 

[cricketpassion]

yes Sanga 199 not out lol

 

[carbon11]

bowled him

justice done

 

[talha3]

Got him )

Creul to Sanga. Especially since he already celebrated it

 

[qamar84]

) )

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Lol

 

[ads101]

what a shame for sangakaara. Really unfair.

 

[thecricket]

Lol

 

[g00g1y]

sanga remains on 199.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Nanga celebrating 199.

 

[sada90]

HAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA
owned lol lol
deserves...

 

[Sherlock]

 

[dirk diggler]

i'm sure we're all feeling desperately sorry for nanga

 

[carbon11]

both dilshan and jaywardene were out early both played huge part in some big partnerships in this inning

if they had been given out take 150-200 runs of this sri lankan innings

 

[waqar goraya]

hehehehahaha

 

[Sherlock]

But fair dues

 

[talha3]

If the umpires had done their job, we probably would have got them out for less than 400.

 

[ads101]

well we got them under 500. And from 300-3 on a flattish pitch they really should have got over 500. He slowed down the run rate which was high on the first day.

Now we have to bat well.

Bit surprising every wicket was taken by spin (and one run out). Nothing from pacers. Though Gul may have picked up one or two if not for bad umpire decisions.

 

[dilojaanpakistan]

Sanga is just a loser...

he didn't even bother to acknowledge pak players when they tried to shake his hand coz this loser didn't get his 199...dude it wasn't our players fault...what a loser

 

[Bullet Drive]

Was Sanga out early?

 

[Osama_B]

i am pleased tbh

we bowled well but had no luck

we will hopefully have some when we bat!

 

[waqar goraya]

24 overs for hafeez and taufeeq

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

hahaha Karma

[HappyH]

Haha I feel for sanga or do I

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great knock from Sanga, Id be real angry

 

[NeVerMind]

But fair dues

Not fair because had the umpiring decisions gone our way then Sri Lanka would not have crossed 350 let alone 450. Fair will be if we get the close decisions go our way...

 

[LethalSami]

sanga can't equal Lara's record of 9 double tons

 

[g00g1y]

hafeez our second best bowler after ajmal

 

[NeVerMind]

hafeez our second best bowler after ajmal

Gul should have had 3 if the if wasn't for the incompetent umpires!

 

[talha3]

This pitch has nothing for the fast bowlers but just watch Kula make it look like a bowling paradise.

 

[talha3]

Hafeez against Kula, will be nervous.

 

[g00g1y]

Gul should have had 3 if the if wasn't for the incompetent umpires!

I hope they keep same standards when we are batting.

 

[carbon11]

hafeez already struggling

should take an offstump card

 

[ads101]

kula looking good.

 

[NeVerMind]

I hope they keep same standards when we are batting.

Yes let's hope the incompetence lasts the whole match now!

 

[qamar84]

This pitch has nothing for the fast bowlers but just watch Kula make it look like a bowling paradise.

or make kula look like shoaib akhtar

 

[carbon11]

decent pace from pradeep

 

[waqar goraya]

hafeez looking very brittle

 

[qamar84]

maiden 1st overs and very nervous

 

[ads101]

yeah

 

[carbon11]

tofee of the mark

[ads101]

Reminds me a bit of malinga for some reason.
