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

[aukhan]

Indian is an abusive word in pakistan?

Bholay bhai calling someone an indian simply means you are enemy of Pakistan.

 

[MarkCooper]

The new coaches may be sacked within a year.

 

[Bullet Drive]

One of these needs a hundred.

A world class batsman here would score a double hundred.

 

[Straight_Drive]

Misbah will save us once again

Like always

so misbah didn't save you...i think he should retire now

 

[saiyan0312]

that came back in and he runs it down to third slip.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[aukhan]

Sarfraz looks street smart his biggest challenge will be against AUS/NZ.

So far he has been good.

 

[world cup captain]

Sarfraz is just being wasted at #7. Should bat at #5.

 

[Saeed]

Wow, Sarfraz averages 131 in this series so far.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good partnership between these 2

 

[aukhan]

No stream working. following only on cricinfo is this pitch bad to bat on?

 

[world cup captain]

No stream working. following only on cricinfo is this pitch bad to bat on?

Pitch looks pretty good for batting. Wickets were gifted to Srilanka except the peach Misbah got out on.

 

[Straight_Drive]

damn...this sarfaraz guy is scoring consistently in the past few matches...have pakistan finally found a keeper

 

[Saeed]

No stream working. following only on cricinfo is this pitch bad to bat on?

Nope, Pakistan just threw its wickets away.

 

[world cup captain]

Nope, Pakistan just threw its wickets away.

Same thing.

 

[Saeed]

damn...this sarfaraz guy is scoring consistently in the past few matches...have pakistan finally found a keeper

Even Kamran was good when he first came. Probably should judge Sarfraz after 15 or 20 matches.

History won't repeat it self.

 

[Saeed]

History won't repeat it self.

For the sake of Pakistan cricket, I hope so.

 

[saiyan0312]

Fifty partnership. Looking good here.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good batting by sarfarz

 

[Pete Rose]

Doing good so far....

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Even Kamran was good when he first came. Probably should judge Sarfraz after 15 or 20 matches.

Sarfaz has been around the setup for 5 odd years , it's taken him ages to look like he belongs


Back to the game

Pakistan needs tons from both players to make something of this game

 

[world cup captain]

Kami was is and always will be a hitter. Sarfraz on the other hand takes the situation on the spot.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last 10 overs - 50 runs.

 

[uberkoen]

How are we doing?

 

[Straight_Drive]

at least this match will have a result unlike the draw everyone feared...the only question is will lanka lankawash pakistan

 

[world cup captain]

How are we doing?

We are in the best situation this inning.

 

[m.shah]

50 run partnership

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Sarfraz is as usual playing a gem. He seems to be really improving.

 

[Saeed]

Pakistan needs a big partnership from these two. I don't expect much from tail.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Once Ramiz comes onto commentary we will lose a wicket.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Shouldn't sarfraz be on strike ?

 

[Bullet Drive]

191-5

 

[uberkoen]

Sarfraz has done well in this series to cement a place for himself in the side. Shafiq as well has come out as a better player but needs to improve a bit more I think. Get the big scores.

Opening is an issue like always and Misbah's form seems to be deteriorating.

 

[steelo green]

Another day, another collapse.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Sarfraz is as usual playing a gem. He seems to be really improving.

His defence has tightened a bit, otherwise I think it's just attitude. The aus series will show far he has come

If he passes that then he can go a long way IMO

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Another day, another collapse.

Expect more, because little will change

 

[Mr Consistent]

drop short lucky asad

 

[coy0607]

Shafiq struggling.. Sarfraz needs to farm the strike

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarfraz is the one to watch

 

[Boi]

Misbahs going to have a tough time against Australia. Think he's on his last legs as a Test Cricketer now.

 

[Madplayer]

almost a ********* from shafiq. dropped chances to hurt sl

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon hundreds from both of them. PLZ

 

[saiyan0312]

you have to be some brave player to expose all three stumps to a spinner before he bowls the ball.

 

[world cup captain]

calm down. when my tv shuts off or i stop watching the match a wicket falls. so trying my best

 

[steelo green]

Expect more, because little will change

20-30 in test is a nothing score. Time for Khurrum to say goodbye. Shafiq won't last long either. He doesn't look good at all.

You're right though, Pakistan will never cause change.

 

[saiyan0312]

and he reviewed it and TBH taht looked out.

 

[Madplayer]

oh God

 

[in_cutter]

Out??

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hope one of these or both can get a 100 and get us back into this match!

 

[saiyan0312]

Was it gloved. cmon glove

 

[Madplayer]

thats clearly gloved

 

[saiyan0312]

gloved!! definitely deflection.

 

[aukhan]

it is out?

 

[Madplayer]

overturned. not out

 

[Saeed]

Its gloved, don't give it out.

 

[world cup captain]

See? I told yall.

 

[Madplayer]

sarfaraz should calm down now. almost runout there

 

[aukhan]

How many more runs we need to avoid a follow on here?

 

[Saeed]

Thanks to DRS. Umpires have always been against Pakistan.

 

[uberkoen]

Misbah really needs to score a big one here

 

[uberkoen]

How many more runs we need to avoid a follow on here?

lol. Kal cricket dekhna shoro ki hai?

Follow on has been avoided already.

 

[Saeed]

How many more runs we need to avoid a follow on here?

We are already past that but it usually happens when the trail is 200 or more.

 

[Madplayer]

mahela moving even before the ball has been delivered. is that allowed?

 

[Mr Consistent]

200 up for pak

 

[saiyan0312]

If wahab can connect some we can remove the lead.

 

[aukhan]

lol. Kal cricket dekhna shoro ki hai?

Follow on has been avoided already.

oops I'm not watching it live.

 

[uberkoen]

I like how confident Sarfraz is.

 

[Madplayer]

Misbah really needs to score a big one here

welcome back from mars

 

[DW44]

WWE Smackdown ad on Ten Sports Pakistan : "Do you like to watch hardcore action?"

 

[Nuekboi]

These two boys slowly digging pakistan out of a hole. Hopefully we can cut the lead to atleast 60 or so for our bowlers

 

[world cup captain]

mahela moving even before the ball has been delivered. is that allowed?

As long as the fielder doesn't come on the pitch.

 

[uberkoen]

welcome back from mars

haha. I meant in the next innings.

 

[Nuekboi]

what is Sarfraz doing?

 

[world cup captain]

Oh no. Ramiz is back

 

[uberkoen]

what is Sarfraz doing?

Batting.

 

[Madplayer]

As long as the fielder doesn't come on the pitch.

i remember once sangakara was asked not to do it behind the stumps in an ODI by the umpire.

 

[uberkoen]

mahela moving even before the ball has been delivered. is that allowed?

Fielders move in from outside the circle all the time as the bowler does a run up.

They are not allowed to change positions but they can move in

 

[Saeed]

what is Sarfraz doing?

He is holding a bat. They are usually made of wood.

 

[On_the_up]

Someone needs to tell him its not the final 10 overs of an ODI
