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

[Mr Consistent]

rehman

 

[hussain.r97]

Yup need him.Wahab from the other end??

I also feel there is no need to take the new bowl now with the old one reversing so nicely.Take it in the morning if necessary.

Yeah stick with the old ball, have Junaid and Wahab ball till close in about 4 overs, and try and blast them out!

 

[Fastandfurious]

Mathews on his way to becoming the best bat in the world.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Need to remove Rehman and go all out attack!

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah captaincy has been very questionable so far. Almost as questionable as our catching.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Dickwella was clueless against Ajmal in last match and still Misbah hasnt gone for him

He has pathetic with his tactics.

 

[hussain.r97]

We should get at least 2 more wickets by close! That would put us right on top! Go all out now, just 10 overs left, then they can rest!

 

[hur rizvi]

Mathews is so Solid

 

[DW44]

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

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah really need to try wahab and ajmal

 

[cricket083]

Fielding

 

[saiyan0312]

... well played there.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Fastandfurious]

Pitch it up Junaid.

 

[Madplayer]

dont leak runs

 

[m.shah]

Four

 

[saiyan0312]

Good bouncer there.

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal on. should try wahab at the other end to get some pacy reverse in.

 

[Mr Consistent]

finally ajju

 

[TalhaSyed]

Ajmal on! Good move by Misbah!

 

[saiyan0312]

thats a good shot there.

 

[Mr Consistent]

lovely shot

 

[Sam18696]

They will get 300

 

[TalhaSyed]

Stupid move by Misbah - Ajmal getting smacked - should've stuck with Rehman

 

[Mr Consistent]

Niroshan Dickwella strike rate 187.50 atm

 

[Shafi]

Stupid move by Misbah - Ajmal getting smacked - should've stuck with Rehman

Rehman is useless. Dickwala can even play with his dick

 

[Sam18696]

Wait. Who is bowling right now? Cricinfo says Rehman

 

[hur rizvi]

Dickwella lad seems to have some talent

 

[hussain.r97]

Wait. Who is bowling right now? Cricinfo says Rehman

It's Ajmal

 

[hussain.r97]

I think we might see Wahab bowl in an over or two...

 

[Nuekboi]

Rehman leaking easy runs

 

[Mr Consistent]

now rehman is back

 

[saiyan0312]

I dont think misbah will use the old ball anymore. its going to be junaid and wahab with the new ball.

 

[Mir jibran]

should give wahab some overs as hes good with the old ball

 

[Mr Consistent]

3000 test runs mathews

 

[Nuekboi]

Abdur Rehman is pathetic. I hope he sticks to tape ball cricket after this

 

[hussain.r97]

I dont think misbah will use the old ball anymore. its going to be junaid and wahab with the new ball.

That'll be stupid of him, they're bowling well with the old ball, I would save the new ball for tomorrow...

 

[Amjid Javed]

i think this should be last test rehman plays, hes doesnt really offer the team much as a bowler anymore. Also we need matthews out by close of play if we want to force any sort of advantage in this game.

 

[Mr Consistent]

rubbish manaa leaking easy runs

 

[Arsal_AK]

WTH Rehman??

Can't even field off his own bowling.Should be his last test.

 

[saiyan0312]

That'll be stupid of him, they're bowling well with the old ball, I would save the new ball for tomorrow...

Same here. I would do the same as reverse swing is the only hope.

 

[hussain.r97]

Same here. I would do the same as reverse swing is the only hope.

Looking at who's bowling now, Misbah definitely plans on taking the new ball....

 

[saiyan0312]

OHHH man outside edge and over the fielder on the reverse sweep.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Lol hackwella

 

[Mr Consistent]

lucky bach gya

 

[saiyan0312]

Looking at who's bowling now, Misbah definitely plans on taking the new ball....

Thats what i am afraid of. they are both being rested for the new ball. Will be a massive blunder of misbah does it TBH.

 

[Adil_94]

Rehman is useless

 

[hur rizvi]

Should give a spell with Old ball to Wahab rather than taking new ball

 

[Fastandfurious]

Wahab needs to bowl these overs steaming in. Insha'Allah he'll blow through the tail.

 

[hussain.r97]

Why is Rehman bowling now!!! It's the last 10 overs, we have to go full throttle attack!

 

[Nuekboi]

Paaaaaaaathetic bowling

 

[JibranAnsari]

One more wicket today will be good.

 

[Lords]

Not a bad day for both the teams. SL is slightly ahead me thinks

 

[Nuekboi]

Misbah you idiot take the new ball and give it to Wahab and Junaid

 

[Mir jibran]

what the hell misbah
stop giving the ball to rehman

 

[Mr Consistent]

rehman wth

 

[Nuekboi]

Abdur Rehman how pathetic are you, please end your career now

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman has looked completely toothless with the ball and WTH. that is nightmarish stuff and leaked a single. Take him off its just day 1 and he looks defeated.

 

[hussain.r97]

One more wicket today will be good.

If they can take one now, we could run through the tail today! Unfortunately Misbah is being the most defensive captain ever, why wouldn't anyone unleash Wahab and Junaid for the last 10 overs!!!

 

[Nuekboi]

Misbah I know Rehman is your 3rd chachu, but please put a real bowler in

 

[samplepiece]

Not a bad day for both the teams. SL is slightly ahead me thinks

Pakistan ahead easily. But sometimes it can be really difficult to get through the tail on flat pitches.

 

[hussain.r97]

Dickwella already on 23 off 21! put on some pace

 

[Arsal_AK]

I am so ****** of at Rehman.

What is he thinking.He needs to be booted just for his fielding.

 

[Amjid Javed]

rubbish bowling from spinners, to many cheaps runs been given away! get seamers back on with the new ball and hunt for wickets

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal bowling. I dont get why misbah isnt trying pace on both ends or atleast at one end and have ajmal at the other.

 

[Fastandfurious]

The umpire is ruining the ball.

 

[Adil_94]

Ajmal has bowled well today. Been unlucky

 

[hussain.r97]

This is just pathetic captaincy right now! We're on top of SL! Bring on the heat, why are we still bowling 2 spinners!?

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal has looked a thousand times more threatening then rehman. Rehman needs to be booted. That guy against clarke will be rubbish.

 

[Shafi]

Abdur Rehman is little bit rusty!! Pathetic Chisty.

 

[saiyan0312]

Plz no rehman plz no rehman plz no rehman!!!!!

 

[Adil_94]

Rehman has been crap this series

 

[Fastandfurious]

Mathews just has too much time to play the ball. He is like.

 

[Nuekboi]

Heard someone say char over ki baat hai

 

[hussain.r97]

Finally!!!! Some pace! Now we just need Wahab from the other end!

 

[saiyan0312]

New ball in. That is just pathetic by misbah as he ddint even try a two pacer reverse swing combo. Pathetic.

 

[hur rizvi]

New ball taken

 

[Mr Consistent]

yes new ball has taken

 

[uberkoen]

Junni you reincarnation of Gul please take a frickin wicket.

 

[hussain.r97]

New ball taken
