[Da_Future_Knick]

Is willow TV showing this?

 

[m.shah]

Bright and sunny weather right now

 

[m.shah]

Pak to bat first

 

[saeedhk]

Good to see Pakistan bat first!

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Advantage Pak as batting difficult under lights in Pellekele

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

same team Pakistan

 

[Yatoo]

When was the last time Mathews won a toss?

 

[Pakcricket89]

SLs game to lose

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Pakistan same team where as two changes for Sl . Pathirana and Pradeep in for Prasana and Lakmal . . .

 

[aloo paratha]

If Pakistan can even make 260 it will be a good score as the highest chase here is 240! Will be looking for 280 though!

Pakistan will do well, unless we see usual scorecard of 100-4... within 25 overs.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Rainnnnnnn.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Azhar to score a ton here. . .

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Thank God we're batting first here , need to score in excess of 280 since I have mostly seen flat conditions during the first innings of DN matches in Sri-lanka .

 

[PCP_1]

The last match was kind of dull. I want a mini collapse of sorts on the top with the middle and lower order scoring some runs followed by our bowlers blowing them out of the water.

Also will someone get those Sri Lankans to ease up on the Lungi disco and start paying some attention to the match.

 

[Madplayer]

Lets rock guys

 

[Theo_14]

its raining apparently, ffs.

 

[Madplayer]

Thank God we're batting first here , need to score in excess of 280 since I have mostly seen flat conditions during the first innings of DN matches in Sri-lanka .

Does the ball swing under lights?

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Rain Rain go away from the ground. . . If you have to come please come in Pakistan . . .

 

[PCP_1]

I hope the rain stays for a couple of hours till I finish what I have to do.

 

[angrypathan]

Does the ball swing under lights?

I think cricinfo said it seams, which is why Pradeep was played over Lakmal, who's a swing bowler. I think Ehsan Adil could actually have been of use here

 

[Theo_14]

I hope the rain stays for a couple of hours till I finish what I have to do.

selfish.

 

[angrypathan]

Rain has stopped

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Does the ball swing under lights?

Yup , there's always something for the bowlers when the lights go on , depends on how our bowlers bowl though.

Needless to say , it's always a tough ask to chase in SL under lights ... still crushed about the last series we lost here which we could've drawn had Sarfaraz not dropped a costly catch .. IIRC .

 

[angrypathan]

Covers are coming off, good signs

 

[angrypathan]

Another 30 minutes till start of play if no further rain, according to Russel Arnold

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Is it damp ? cloudy ? God help if there ain't no sunshine till we start batting .

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Another 30 minutes till start of play if no further rain, according to Russel Arnold

It shd have been start earlier if covers all ground and rain stopped.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Does the ball swing under lights?

Yep, pretty much. 240 is the highest chase

 

[Bullet Drive]

Arghhhhh

Sri Lanka and rain

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Why they waste time by covering the whole ground even if its just drizzling??

 

[angrypathan]

Why they waste time by covering the whole ground even if its just drizzling??

Poor drainage most likely

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I'm expecting the ball to dance now -_- , why are we so unlucky in the shorter format here ..

 

[Justcrazy]

when will it start ?

 

[Farhansk]

when will it start ?

in about 10 minutes time

 

[imshally81]

Imran khan instead of Anwar Ali...

 

[UpInTheAir]

Imran khan instead of Anwar Ali...

Vaaat? I don't think he's even in the squad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Should have rested yasir here .

 

[Farhansk]

Imran khan instead of Anwar Ali...

No they are playing with the same 11

 

[uberkoen]

Are we going to start anytime today?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Here we go

 

[PCP_1]

selfish.

Its actually in Pakistans favor as I will be able to give them my undivided attention.

 

[Justcrazy]

Players on the field

 

[uberkoen]

I have a feeling the covers are coming off.

 

[PCP_1]

Angelo, the only bowler to have some impact in the last game to open the bowling

 

[angrypathan]

Lol at that appeal

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can see dark clouds already!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rather see Mukhtar then Shehzad opening tbh......... Shehzad hasn't done anything in ODIs for a while

 

[BleedGreen]

whats a good score here

 

[Justcrazy]

Maiden by Matthews

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautiful shot by Shehzad but straight to fielder.

 

[angrypathan]

142.8kph first ball
"Luck ran out for Lakmal" Ramiz's gems continue )

 

[ExplicitAI]

Typical shot by Shehzad, hits it straight to the fielder.

 

[angrypathan]

Alright a run would be nice

 

[ExplicitAI]

Strike rotation problems..

 

[PCP_1]

Couple of sweet drives by Shehzad to the fielders as usual.

 

[Neferpitou]

Need Shehzad's wicket here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

He needs a big ton today else I'd drop him.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

though many good players but our squad looks
No left handers, do not want M. Hafeez and Shoaib Malik in the team, we need a better replacement for Anwar Ali, Want Haris Sohail back.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Getting flashbacks where Jamshed and Shehzad blocked out 4 overs

 

[angrypathan]

Beaten, well bowled

 

[Farhansk]

I hope we can put up our first run on the board in 3rd over

 

[angrypathan]

These appeals are ridiculous

 

[PCP_1]

Need Shehzad's wicket here.

Almost.

 

[angrypathan]

13 consecutive dots

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dean Jones said Shehzad needs to be more selfish and just stay at the wicket.

 

[ExplicitAI]

These appeals are ridiculous

BD have the most disgusting appeals

 

[Third Man]

shehzad is so good at playing the ball straight into the fielder's hand.. could be quite handy for fielding practice for the boys..

 

[angrypathan]

First run on the board by kaptaan

 

[Neferpitou]

Azhar's game getting exposed.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar looked a bit desperate there

 

[Farhansk]

I hope we can put up our first run on the board in 3rd over

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yesssssssssssss

 

[Watsupdoc]

What a start!

 

[imshally81]

Azhar's game getting exposed.

How?

 

[Justcrazy]

Slow start.

 

[Farhansk]

btw Saffers look under immense pressure against Bangladesh

 

[ExplicitAI]

he said "3 years" )
