[Shafi]

Both Waqar and Wasim are better commentators than Chisti.

 

[UpInTheAir]

[Straight_Drive]

just woke up ....both the flat track bullies are out.....nice job pakistan

 

[Ahson8]

Why is bowling ?

 

[Ikball]

Chishti wants Asad Shafiq future CAPTAIN of Pakistan.

 

[imshally81]

future captain Asad shafiq

 

[Madplayer]

misbah is such a defensive captain

 

[Lords]

Good comeback from Pakistan. need few quick wickets and wind SL today itself

 

[Nuekboi]

An introvert isnt someone who doesnt talk alot. Chishty stop talking nonsense

 

[hussain.r97]

Although Wahab has been a tad expensive, he's been aggressive and has bowled well, with pace and created chances. Leaking runs on such a flat track is understandable if you're taking wickets

 

[Fastandfurious]

He can't even solidify his spot in the team...

 

[Ikball]

Why is bowling ?

What do you think why he is in team?

 

[Saeed]

Why is bowling ?

Because he is a bowler.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Chisty gone Arnold in

 

[Sakss]

Thirimanne jane wla ha

 

[Madplayer]

rehman isnt getting any turn. not even a centimetre

 

[Arsal_AK]

Some please take Rehman off the screen.My eyes are bleeding.

Horrible bowling and if possible even worse fielding.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Give Azhar or Shehzad a bowl.

 

[m.shah]

Need the wicket of Mathews

 

[Madplayer]

srilankan commies trying hard to prove that pitch is bad to bat on.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trying hard here , they need to keep getting wickets .

 

[Saeed]

Rehman is a classic bowler, he should bowl more often.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I can feel a wicket here

 

[hussain.r97]

It would be quite an achievement if we get them below 300!

 

[Saeed]

Get younis khan to bowl.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

srilankan commies trying hard to prove that pitch is bad to bat on.

this is hilarious stuff tbh its SSC ffs

 

[Madplayer]

abhisenge saying 300 is enough for sl. pitch isnt good to bat on.

 

[Nuekboi]

Ideal to get atleast 1 wicket before new ball

 

[Ikball]

Misbah should bowl now.

 

[Bosch]

Need Matthews now! the rest will follow

 

[m.shah]

199/4

 

[hussain.r97]

abhisenge saying 300 is enough for sl. pitch isnt good to bat on.

Rubbish, this is the flattest track in the world! Pakistan have just bowled well...

 

[UpInTheAir]

Ball was reversing, no idea why two spinners are being used.

[Madplayer]

just listen to roshan abhisinghe. he is calling the pitch two paced with uneven bounce and saying 300 is enough.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Ajmal has nothing to offer

 

[hussain.r97]

Bring Wahab on for a few overs before new ball, he's better with reverse...

 

[Mr Consistent]

200 up for lanka

 

[Bosch]

Ideal to get atleast 1 wicket before new ball

Yes Matthews

 

[Madplayer]

Rubbish, this is the flattest track in the world! Pakistan have just bowled well...

i know. srilankan commies are known for their bias.

 

[hussain.r97]

Hopefully we see some pace before the new ball...

 

[saiyan0312]

abhisenge saying 300 is enough for sl. pitch isnt good to bat on.

Pitch isnt bad to bat on. Reverse swing came into action and tharanga has horror foot movement while jaya gets out to ajmal alot.

We should bat well here.

 

[hur rizvi]

REhman has turned into a dreadful Part timer from being a decent bowler once

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up for Lanka here

 

[hussain.r97]

REhman has turned into a dreadful Part timer from being a decent bowler once

Exactly! His job is to take wickets, not just fill overs at a good economy...

 

[Madplayer]

i think pakistan should not take the new ball after 80 overs. i think they should take it tomorrow morning.

 

[Saeed]

I don't know, how sarfraz can keep to the boring bowling of Ajmal.

 

[Shafi]

Rehman is bowling to give rest Wahab and Junaid

 

[hur rizvi]

Painful to see Rehman bowl

 

[Sam18696]

Yar Matthews ki wicket lo

 

[Ikball]

 

[hussain.r97]

Rehman is bowling to give rest Wahab and Junaid

We need them both on now though! Before the new ball, just to have one last shot with reverse swing!

 

[Sam18696]

Rehman is bowling to give rest Wahab and Junaid

Shahzad should've bowled

 

[hussain.r97]

Hopefully should be there by the end of this game....

 

[Madplayer]

wth is rehman doing? since those beamers he bowled he has been bowling trash

 

[hur rizvi]

Rehman is a part timer, we are effectively playing with 3 bowlers

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Rehman is finished, can't believe we invested 4+ years in him to witness this garbage when we thought he could win matches for us

 

[Shafi]

Hope Moin is watching this match!!!

 

[Nuekboi]

Take Rehman off. What a useless bowler

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to bring in Karamat Ali in for .

 

[Arsal_AK]

REhman has turned into a dreadful Part timer from being a decent bowler once

Even part timers bowl better.

To make matters worse he is fielding like a 5 years old and they just showed the dolly that he dropped the first test.

And that was it, he looked even more horrible to me after that.How can you drop Sanga of all people like that.Its mindboggling.

 

[Mr Consistent]

rehman

 

[hussain.r97]

Shahzad should've bowled

Yeah, give it to Shehzad or Azhar, they might give you a surprise breakthrough. Shehzad actually looked decent last game...

 

[Nuekboi]

Just make Azhar bowl, even he is better

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shahzad should've bowled

Yup he was troubling Mathews the last test too.

Besides Rehman is bowling pies at the moment.

I don't think he's fit enough anymore, it seems like his body is starting to give up. Those 3 no balls were an example of his muscle memory giving way, and now he's not up to the same standard he used to be...Or maybe his confidence has been shattered since that incident...

Cricinfo
Prabhath: "In Sinhalese, 'BALL LAGA" means "THE DOG IS NEAR" Ha ha! Wonder what Mathews must have imagined, listening to Sarfraz behind the stumps!

 

[Justcrazy]

Salman: "strange that even after 70 overs there wasn't any need to take a review from either side .. didn't see this before.."

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to give younger spinners a go at International level, Yasir shah should have been a part of ODI squad for at least one year now.

 

[Sam18696]

Juni
And Wahab giving tips to him?

 

[Mr Consistent]

junni come to bowl

 

[saiyan0312]

Junaid to bowl. come on juni. New ball is 8 overs away so maybe wahab should have come and junaid when the new ball was in.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Juni
And Wahab giving tips to him?

Yeah very strange

Hilarious ) )

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid has bowled too slow through out the day

 

[Justcrazy]

Please get Lahiru out at least

 

[DW44]

That's two catches dropped off Junaid's bowling in the last hour and a half.

 

[Saeed]

Boring. Sri Lanka should get out for the sake of making this match interesting.

 

[imshally81]

another dropped

 

[hur rizvi]

Sarfraz should have attempted to catch that

 

[Adil_94]

Superb over by Juni and another drop.
