Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd T20 | Hambantota | Jun 3 2012

[Looney]

Screw line and length trundlers.

We need insane, 90mph nutters to bowl at the stumps, with pace like Sami. Just destroy the batsmen.

Like it or not Sami should be integral part of LOI squads.

 

[LegendAli]

finally pak is in the drivers seat, finally!

 

[Badsha]

146.4..... teri khair.

 

[Markhor]

Professor getting off the mark

 

[Bullet Drive]

Quick yorker. I want a four-fer for you!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

for once actually performing!!

 

[Markhor]

) I am like Maulana Fazl - a shameless power-hungry lota

 

[sam]

Hafeez talking to his bowlers all the time. Just like a legendary captain used to.

 

[Bullet Drive]

92mph

 

[pakistanalltheway]

sami cranking it up

 

[KingKhanWC]

3-16 Top class fast bowling spell from Mohammed Sami. Personal best

 

[Badsha]

What a yorker. Good bowling Sami.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Sri Lanka need 26 of last over.
Of course they won't get it.

 

[CricketBuff]

Imran Khan has always said that with the pace he has Sami should always be played. His last ball here was 147kph

 

[Markhor]

Need 26 from the last over.

Could happen.

 

[sam]

26 off 6 needed. Who's bowling the last over?

 

[LegendAli]

Hafeez talking to his bowlers all the time. Just like a legendary captain used to.

Hafeez should stop that, every other bowler is already better than him, what's the point of giving advice?

 

[Munna]

Nothing is better than sheer pace at full throttle on display in cricket!

 

[Looney]

Arafat bowling last over 97/9

 

[sam]

Arafat to bowl. 2 runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amazing from Sami.

 

[Badsha]

Fielding.

 

[MoinHaroon]

[carbon11]

[Asif321]

[KingKhanWC]

[Markhor]

Superb fielding !

 

[Looney]

Brilliant effort in the field . I think it was :umarakmal

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

97/9 after 19

 

[Bullet Drive]

93mph from Sami.

 

[sam]

Hafeez should stop that, every other bowler is already better than him, what's the point of giving advice?

Hafeez is trying to be Afridi without being anywhere close. :cheema

 

[MoinHaroon]

Bowlers save pakistan again

 

[Maher96]

outtt!!

 

[Markhor]

Umar Akmal there.

Julien Fountain is delighted.

 

[Badsha]

Fittingly Lala takes the final catch!

 

[carbon11]

[sam]

Top catch from Lala.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

All over, Great win

 

[Munna]

Mubaaarkaaaaaaaaan

 

[shahidafridi123]

It's all over! What a catch from Afridi, he's surely MOM

 

[CricketBuff]

Well done Pakistan.

 

[12cavalry]

WE WON

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lala adds that catch to his performance.

Great game, great comeback, great win. Pakistan Zindabad!

 

[Markhor]

Skied to long-off !

Pakistan win by 23 runs !

Great turnaround. Sri Lanka will regret letting Pakistan off the hook by turning to spin during Malik/Afridi partnership.

 

[Looney]

takes a catch !


SL 99 all out and this is the lowest score defended by Pakistan :

 

[carbon11]

still a lot of work is needed with our top order batsmen

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pak win by 23 runs

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Pakistan win
by 23 runs
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

5 balls to go

 

[Markhor]

still a lot of work is needed with our top order batsmen

As always !

Bowlers saved our backsides big time here.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Afridi takes the catch and finishes it.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi's knock saves us

 

[Centurion]

Bowlers save the day for Pakistan...yet again. Seriously fast bowling by Sami.

 

[Sherlock]

Batting is the problem again but bowling as usual has been excellent. Good to see Gul being dropped and giving Arafat another chance.

 

[Maher96]

pakistan Zindaabaaad!

 

[Lachrymose]

Mubarkaan Mubarkaan!!!

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Hafeez should stop that, every other bowler is already better than him, what's the point of giving advice?

Hafeez is trying to be Afridi without being anywhere close. :cheema

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez happy

[786warrior]

[chui_kadoo]

lala haters r not allowed to njoy todays victory cuz they hate the man who was influential in Pakistan victory today. Great work every1 well bowled well fielded and well batted job very well done

I am sure the so called Afridi haters deep inside really love him

 

[Asif321]

Afridi yet again wins match for Pakistan ....

Great to see Sami impressed everyone .. that was some serious fast bowling

 

[KingKhanWC]

I wonder who will be man of the match.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Afridi man of the match. Gully should not be played in any match till one of these quicks does bad

 

[MoinHaroon]

I wonder who will be man of the match.

Umar Akmal???

 

[Markhor]

Gully should not be played in any match till one of these quicks does bad

Agreed Gul refuses to learn from his mistakes. He can be seriously bereft of intelligence at times. Plus a bit of competition doesn't do anyone any harm.

 

[Matini-Pakistan]

I'd be damned if Afridi haters had anything to say after such a vintage 50th game from Shahid Afridi. Mercurial in nature. Deadly when done right. Winning catch, super 50 and magical spell. Superman performance from Afridi, and noone can take that away from him. Great performance from Pakistan overall, especially in the bowling department! Batting needs work. Pakistan Zindabad!!

P.s Im not a diehard Afridi fan. Just a fan. And Sami did great too (Needs target practice)

 

[MoinHaroon]

Please do not give SAMI the man of the match, it should be Afridi
