371/9

 

[Neferpitou]

Adrenalin running high! Let's do this boys! Boys play well inshaAllah.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Early wickets is the key.

 

[BleedGreen]

Very good total. Anything 250+ is challenging in Palekelle and we are touching 300 so we have a very good score on board.

Good fielding and good quality bowling will win us this match. Nothing extraordinary needed just go and play good cricket

 

[BleedGreen]

Sri Lanka will come in with the mentality of not losing any wickets. We can simply put them under pressure with good bowling and force them to give their wickets away.

 

[BleedGreen]

Is it raining?

 

[Markhor]

Apparently the ball does seam around under lights quite a bit at this ground. We need good control and accuracy, no freebies or long hops, keep it tight and disciplined and we should get our rewards.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Anwar.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Is it raining?

I have messaged Roshan and asked and he said no just a break.

 

[MRSN]

Is it raining?

yar ap rain karwa kar hi raho ge.

 

[BleedGreen]

Dilshans wicket is the biggest. He averages over 50 in Palekelle

 

[Bullet Drive]

Open bowling with Rahat and Irfan I hope.

 

[BleedGreen]

beautiful first ball

 

[walashi]

147kph from irfan wow

 

[BleedGreen]

top edged. unlucky

 

[uberkoen]

That first ball was brilliant.

 

[Justcrazy]

Huge ask for lanka.

 

[imshally81]

Beauty

[uberkoen]

Irfan looking dangerous

 

[uberkoen]

Good ball. Boundary. Good ball. Boundary

Nice pattern.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor start here

 

[imshally81]

Rahat on the attack

 

[cricfan14]

Mmmm that's not a great way to start

 

[BleedGreen]

Another

SL on fire here

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

SL have come out very positive.

 

[uberkoen]

Sri Lanka batting with intent.

 

[Firebreaker]

Rahat not looking good

 

[BleedGreen]

The way these 2 are batting it looks like 400 is the avg score here

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs flowing here

 

[cricfan14]

Oh god is it going to be one of those games?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

A lot of Jayasuriya in that first boundary.

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[Madplayer]

Rahat has looked ordinary so far more. Sl going at 10 an over.

 

[imshally81]

Need to ball short

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Hafeez will be in early today I guess. He is excellent against lefties.

 

[BleedGreen]

Another

SL RR 10+

 

[Madplayer]

more what the hell

 

[uberkoen]

Well, this isn't going too well.

 

[cricfan14]

This is not looking good for us.

But FYI this is what an opener like Mukhtar can do.

 

[imshally81]

Finally the good line

 

[BleedGreen]

Kusal on fire.

 

[Madplayer]

Oh god is it going to be one of those games?

Seems so. more

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

SL going ballistic.

 

[imshally81]

[D/DAhmed]

Kusal showing mediocre Azhar and Shehzad how to open the innings

 

[Logical]

Wow. Great stuff from Perera

 

[#GreenRoars]

Little Jayasuriya destroyed Rahat

 

[uberkoen]

Chinese Jayasuria looking good.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Horrible line and length by Rahat Ali. That's the problem when you put Test specialists in ODI. Rahat needs to adjust quickly.

 

[BleedGreen]

Get Hafeez on

 

[Neferpitou]

[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] What did I say? Mental midget. A couple of fours and he is lost. Not suited for ODIs.

 

[Madplayer]

I want irfan to bowl to kusal

 

[D/DAhmed]

Where's Bullet Drive, with his '3.5 run rate is good on this pitch'

 

[BleedGreen]

Rahat Ali is seriously the worst thing to ever happen to Pakistan cricket. Get rid of him immediately he should be banned from picking up a ball from now on

 

[cricfan14]

We are in so much trouble here lol.

This is why Mukhtar should open our batting.

 

[Belawal2014]

Phainta to

 

[Madplayer]

Get kusal irfan

 

[BleedGreen]

Perera is on fire

 

[imshally81]

Rahat Ali is seriously the worst thing to ever happen to Pakistan cricket. Get rid of him immediately he should be banned from picking up a ball from now on

Knee jerk reaction

 

[Madplayer]

Seems the pitch has improved to bat on

 

[uberkoen]

[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] What did I say? Mental midget. A couple of fours and he is lost. Not suited for ODIs.

Think he is majorly overrated

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pakistan is bowling too short or too full. Get that good length in man!

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[Lurker_Ind]

I feel like I am watching Jayasurya from late 90's.

 

[D/DAhmed]

backing kusal to make fastest century here

 

[Madplayer]

Sl will score 50 in 4 overs?

 

[cricfan14]

We are so screwed. This is flashbacks of Bangladesh series bowling.

Anwar Ali early?

 

[BleedGreen]

It looks like this game will be over in 25 overs. Come on ....

 

[Madplayer]

Oh God more

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Irfan getting destroyed too.

 

[BleedGreen]

Edged more

Jesus this is carnage

 

[shah_1]

Fireeeee

 

[cricfan14]

What the hell is going on.

 

[Neferpitou]

Imagine Shehzad's tweets if he could bat like Kusal. We need to rid of this cancer quick.

 

[imshally81]

Unlucky
