Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd Test | August 14-18, 2014 | Colombo | Day 1

[hussain.r97]

Looks a very flat pitch

Very very flat...

 

[Fastandfurious]

Junaid needs to get stronger. You can't be not swinging and trundling at the same time.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

bEAUTY FROM JUNI...AND SLEDGING..WOW

 

[parwezzkhan]

Wth.......juned bowling speed is 130 km/hr. Looks like juned loss everything

 

[hussain.r97]

The 4 was an edge, not a bad over[/

Might I add....a leg side boucer as well..BAD 1ST OVER

Everything else was fine, it's his first over, if that ball was on target, it would have been lethal, it had pace and carry. Showing decent pace, and should trouble the batsmen.

 

[hur rizvi]

WoW Junaid is bowling slower than BK

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

junaid keeping things tight

junaid keeping things tight

130 kph isnt enough to trouble batsman, Pathetic from Junaid so far

Maiden over!

Nice to see..UA fielding in whites

Wahab spraying it around

 

[Electron]

How fast is Wahab bowling ?

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

143-144ks

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

Where on earth has Junaid's pace gone, he was regularly hitting 140kph before, Waqar needs to sort this out.

 

[hussain.r97]

How fast is Wahab bowling ?

High 130s early 140s right now...

 

[Aman]

Wahab hasn't aged well, he looks as old as my dad

 

[thivaakar]

Apart from Mahela, Sanga and Mathews no current SL players have more 1000 runs in Test.

 

[hussain.r97]

Maiden!

Well..Aman..bad news then

 

[21-1(BrockLesnar)]

Is there anyone in Pakistan that knows how to ball with a new ball?

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

movement from Juni

 

[Shafi]

Good lesson for Pakistan openers how to handle pressure!!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Wahab needs to bounce Kaushall

 

[hussain.r97]

Beauty from Junaid

 

[Aman]

That's seam not swing from Junaid.

 

[hussain.r97]

That's seam not swing from Junaid.

Still a beauty

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

That's seam not swing from Junaid.

Deviates a bit i the air as well

 

[Fastandfurious]

Misbah needs to let loose Wahab now as the ball is fresh. Wahab is just trying to bowl in line, that's not his natural game.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid is bowling too slow

 

[Shafi]

We should play more tests against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in order to be consistent to win.

 

[Aman]

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Yes he needs to use 2 bouncers per over

 

[thivaakar]

Ranjith Fernando is being extremely negative about Tharanga and btw Fernando was Tharanga's agent not few months ago and he is still Thirimanne's agent.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have kept things tight but need wickets here

 

[Fastandfurious]

Bounce him guy, he's like 5'4.

 

[hur rizvi]

These edges are frustrating from K. Silva, He scores more than 80% of his runs through edges

 

[Justcrazy]

silva gets that away

 

[Fastandfurious]

Deano teaching Misbah how to captain.

Reminds of Jayasuria.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

wahab still has a no ball problem

 

[Chickenkorma]

i was hoping to see 150 kph from wahab... he's in the high 130s

 

[Shafi]

To be honest our bowling does not looking test standard. Another double for Sanga is coming.

 

[Jabo]

Pathetic

Not a change to the batting line up

Hope Pak get embarrassed and Misbah gets slated

Gutless team

 

[hur rizvi]

Reminds of Jayasuria.

Jayasuria was a murderer of bowlers when he got going, Silva aint comparable to him

 

[Fastandfurious]

Rubbish bowling from Wahab. Once again, Misbah needs to let him go all out and attack! You are not gonna get any wickets bowling like that on a flat wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need at least two wickets before Lunch here

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

wATCHING YOU Guys being humbled by BANGLADESH makes me sleep.really

 

[Shafi]

Misbah does not leadership qualities. Younis Khan should be test captain.

 

[Aman]

Go all out an attack? With what? A rocket launcher?

 

[Justcrazy]

Jayasuria was a murderer of bowlers when he got going, Silva aint comparable to him

Jayasuria became a force when he started opening the batting , but still does not have good average, inconsistent batter.

How is it Misbah's fault? He clearly still has control issues and hasn't found his rhythm. 2 no balls already.

What has happened to Junaid's pace

 

[uberkoen]

So apparently one spray gun has replaced another. Wonderful

 

[uberkoen]

What has happened to Junaid's pace

He never had pace. He's Gul 2.0

 

[Aman]

What has happened to Junaid's pace

Probably gased from the first Test.

 

[hur rizvi]

40 is a decent average for Test opener

 

[aukhan]

Junaid's pace is disgusting....130Kph

 

[UpInTheAir]

What has happened to Junaid's pace

Still looks more of a threat than Wahab. Kind of disappointed with his return thus far, was hoping he'd have worked on some of his issues. Hope he proves me wrong.

Look at the field. Does it look attacking? Have you seen Wahab bowling all out? He doesn't bowl like this when is bowling all out, he bends his back a lot more. Right now, he is just trying to bowl in line which is not his natural game.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pacers have bowled okay, need to get silva driving

 

[Aman]

Do you think selectors will persist with Wahab and Riaz for the Aus series?

Wahab is what he is, his action doesnt allow him to swing much

He can be useful with reverse and needs to use bouncer well

He's got a bunch of slips and a short leg, what more should there be?

Flat as a pancake this

 

[hussain.r97]

Good ball!

Ramiz proving he doesn't know jack squat about pace bowling.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

ajmal and rehman really need to up their game today

 

[UpInTheAir]

Ramiz proving he doesn't know jack squat about pace bowling.

Lol yeah, not sure what he's watching. Wahab has looked pretty rusty, but better last over.

Sent

 

[Arsal_AK]

That was a good over from Riaz.

 

[Aman]

I don't understand why they picked Wahab when they know he can't swing the ball? He's just wasting the new ball..

 

[hur rizvi]

Good comeback after rubbish 1st ball in this over

 

[Madplayer]

Ramiz proving he doesn't know jack squat about pace bowling.

if he doesnt know jack squat, it would mean he knows something.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Junaid Siddle keeps bowling like this and he'll be out of the team soon.
