Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd Test | August 14-18, 2014 | Colombo | Day 3

[pakistanisgreat]

wicket is coming in next 3 balls

 

[Arsal_AK]

LMAO. Why is sarfraz speaking Hindi? Barhiya ahmed? )

Barhiya is not Hindi.

 

[TalhaSyed]

I have a feeling that a wicket is coming soon InshAllah

There seems to be a skip in the Pakistani step and they seem to be up for the challenge

 

[Alchemy]

Barhiya is not Hindi.

What it is then?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Look at the difference of class between hearath and abdur rehman.!!!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Update on Junaid, from Umar Farooq, who's at the ground. He felt a little dizzy and lost balance in the dressing room, and was rushed to hospital. He's in his senses, though.

From cricinfo.

Hope it is nothing serious and hope Junaid a speedy recovery InshAllah!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

almost

 

[Alchemy]

Bowl the new ball with spinners. #JustMisbahthings

 

[saiyan0312]

Didn't see you calling Junaid a loser when he bowled bouncers at Prasad. Prasad was obviously returning the favor to Junaid Khan. Either don't bowl bouncers at opposition faster bowlers or get prepared to be hit by short stuff.

Junaid didnt ball bouncer after bouncer to him. Infact he bowled the good length to full most of the time to get him out and get his fifer. Clearly prasad was not happy that junaid got him out and resorted to angled head mark bouncer.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I think Misbah's time as test captain is over.

Horrible tactics especially field placement.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

444444

 

[Nuekboi]

Lol this attack is nothing without Junaid

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Bowl the new ball with spinners. #JustMisbahthings

who would ball?? juni is not on the field yet.

 

[vandokkum]

wicket is coming in next 3 balls

Please also tell us what lottery numbers not to pick.

 

[Alchemy]

who would ball?? juni is not on the field yet.

Wahab.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

lala is there

 

[Alchemy]

Rehman bowling beautifully straight as an arrow.

 

[Alchemy]

lala is there

Afridi?

 

[OZGOD]

Looks like it might be a century partnership

 

[Arsal_AK]

Afridi?

Who else??

 

[pakistanisgreat]

if we donot get wicket in next 5 overs then game is over for me

 

[Alchemy]

In other news, Afridi eyeing for captaincy by showing up at Lunch running around the pitch in a threatening manner - Misbah fans

 

[Asif321]

big blow not having Junaid it has reduced the chances of Pakistan winning

 

[Alchemy]

Who else??

Just watched him.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

afridi i think just arrived in SL

 

[hur rizvi]

Bowling looks impotent

 

[pakistanisgreat]

need a closing fielder

 

[Ryankhan]

on this same pitch herath a left arm spinner took 9 wkts and look at our left armer. not getting any assistance from the pitch??
does this means herath is much better bowler or our lucy batsmen gifted their wkts to him??

 

[pakistanisgreat]

i do not see sanga getting out today

 

[vandokkum]

on this same pitch herath a left arm spinner took 9 wkts and look at our left armer. not getting any assistance from the pitch??
does this means herath is much better bowler or our lucy batsmen gifted their wkts to him??

It's insulting to herath to compare him with Rehman. Rehman couldn't take 9 wickets in an innings on a day 5 dustbowl against Bangladesh.

 

[Nuekboi]

Lets play a game:

By what margin will Pakistan lose this match?

a) 50 runs

b) 100 runs

c) 150 runs

 

[Arsal_AK]

Junaid Averaging 27 at a strike rate of 45 this series, even after all those drops.Legend

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common abdul reman

 

[Sam18696]

I hope Juni is okay

 

[Alchemy]

Ajmal bowling well. PLEASE put wahab in place of rehman.

 

[Nuekboi]

By the way what happened to Mohammad irfan?

 

[Sam18696]

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Lets play a game:

By what margin will Pakistan lose this match?

a) 50 runs

b) 100 runs

c) 150 runs

option B

 

[Nuekboi]

Rehman

 

[Alchemy]

Did rehman just drop a catch?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Take Rehman off, please.

 

[MRSN]

Bowling rubbish Rehman.

 

[Nuekboi]

Junaid please be revived

 

[MRSN]

Lets play a game:

By what margin will Pakistan lose this match?

a) 50 runs

b) 100 runs

c) 150 runs

b

 

[Alchemy]

So, if we lose the series by 1-0, what ranking we get?

 

[FreeBird]

Pakistan is going to bat 4th innings on this deteriorating wicket where Herath already took 9.
I say a target of 100 or more runs and we lost this game already.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah desperate for Rehman to take some wickets??

Otherwise I don't see any logic in keeping him on.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

last over for me to watch

 

[Arsal_AK]

So, if we lose the series by 1-0, what ranking we get?

6th I think.

 

[JibranAnsari]

So, if we lose the series by 1-0, what ranking we get?

even 1-1 will see us to number 4.

1-0 will see us to number 6.

 

[Alchemy]

Misbah desperate for Rehman to take some wickets??

Otherwise I don't see any logic in keeping him on.

Agreed. I was saying this since the start of the innings.

 

[Alchemy]

even 1-1 will see us to number 4.

1-0 will see us to number 6.

Rightly deserved then.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

4 more balls , if no wicket, i am going to sleep

 

[FreeBird]

So, if we lose the series by 1-0, what ranking we get?

The "captain" should know this very well.
Prior to this series, he said he was gonna take the team to No 1 test ranking.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah desperate for Rehman to take some wickets??

Otherwise I don't see any logic in keeping him on.

We have 3 bowlers now..we can't keep bowling wahab riaz all day.

 

[Alchemy]

6th I think.

This really sucks.

 

[Alchemy]

4 more balls , if no wicket, i am going to sleep

I think you should go to sleep. Dont expect wickets when you are bowling rehman.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

ok guys.. ALLAH HAFIZ. and good luck

 

[Sam18696]

Misbah desperate for Rehman to take some wickets??

Otherwise I don't see any logic in keeping him on.

Then who should bowl? They are short one bowler

 

[Arsal_AK]

We have 3 bowlers now..we can't keep bowling wahab riaz all day.

Yup we can't but why take him off after two overs??

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think you should go to sleep. Dont expect wickets when you are bowling rehman.

yes he is crap

 

[Arsal_AK]

Then who should bowl? They are short one bowler

Again bowl him for 5-6 overs atleast up front.Why take him off after two??

Is Rehman more of a threat with the new ball??

 

[saiyan0312]

The match is over bcz we have no junaid and the pathetic bowler that rehman is.

 

[Sam18696]

Yup we can't but why take him off after two overs??

Waiting for the ball to get old I guess

 

[Alchemy]

Who on earth bowls a new ball with a spinner in test match?

 

[Alchemy]

Waiting for the ball to get old I guess

So you expect Sri Lanka to at least bat 50-60 overs till Wahab comes on. Brace yourself.

 

[Arsal_AK]

The attack looks toothless without Juni.

We are so done for.

 

[Sam18696]

Both spinners look ineffective to me

 

[vandokkum]

With all this rehman bashing, what did Ajmal do? His 5fer in the first test was also a joke, Sri lanka scored over 500.

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman lucky there. that was some crap silva missed out on.

 

[Arsal_AK]

So you expect Sri Lanka to at least bat 50-60 overs till Wahab comes on. Brace yourself.

I think the other theory is more likely to be correct.

 

[Ryankhan]

they should let ahmed shehzaad bowl, younis khan and azhar ali. they cant be any worse then rehman for sure. keep ajmal at one hand to contain runs and on other hand try these bowlers since junaid is not there and wahab leaking runs but pathetic misbah with his crap defensive captaincy dont have the guts to try something new.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Calm down kiddies. Wahab will come in at around 20 overs.

 

[Arsal_AK]

With all this rehman bashing, what did Ajmal do? His 5fer in the first test was also a joke, Sri lanka scored over 500.

It wasn't.We would have lost by an innings otherwise.

 

[Sam18696]

Abay wicket lo

 

[saiyan0312]

With all this rehman bashing, what did Ajmal do? His 5fer in the first test was also a joke, Sri lanka scored over 500.

ajmal looked a thousand times more dangerous then rehman. Even in the second test he was much better then rehman. Rehman bashing is going on bcz he has found nothing.

 

[Arsal_AK]

We so baldy need Junaid.

 

[Alchemy]

I think the other theory is more likely to be correct.

Yeah, rehman is Misbah's pet.

 

[Sam18696]

Any update on Juni?

 

[saiyan0312]

If junaids absence leaves a big hole in a flat track for us then we are clearly doomed as junaid is just one bowler.
