Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd Test | August 14-18, 2014 | Colombo | Day 4

[Fastandfurious]

271 to chase. Pakistan got this. Insha'Allah.

 

[Aman]

Looks out.

 

[Mr Consistent]

271 is target

 

[MeanAndGreen]

I think Pak deserves credit for this performance.

They have limited Sri Lanka with 3 bowlers.

Let's win this boys!

 

[haris93]

After long time there is certainly a plan , strategy is seen in bowling ... using of old ball when new ball is available ,ajmal bowling slower than usual and wahab bowling those deliveries what he's good at i.e yorkers and bouncers and that too without junaid i think they have done excellent job till now
All depends upon BATSMAN

 

[saiyan0312]

Pakistan needs 270 runs to win this test match. OH BOY!!

 

[Shafi]

271 Target

 

[imshally81]

271 runs required

 

[ViciousMachine]

Amazing effort by the team!! 271 will be a tough chase, but to even get back into the game with essentially just 3 bowlers is a great job.

 

[zains_rulez]

The only way pakistan was able to win this match is to injured the tiny man "herath"

 

[Aman]

That would have been an onside glance four from a better quality batsman

Remember a full toss knocking over Yuvraj, this one wasn't that bad though.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

This has been an absolute cracker of a match so far!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 271 runs

 

[Aman]

Good bowling effort by Pakistan without one of their pacers.

 

[Sam18696]

Thank God not a 300 lead

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The Old ball has done the Trick.!!! Two quality Reversing Swing Run Outs

 

[saiyan0312]

THIs RUn OUT ??

The reverse swinging yorker and there would not have been a run out as the new ball is hard and goes to the boundary faster and they would have been smashing it. The hatred is just soo much right?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to make sure they do not loose too many today , at the same must not get into shell , bat positively.

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Yeah, great game. Need Pakistan to give this chase a real effort. Let's be honest, SL have only one bowler once the ball is 4 overs old and that's Herath. Neutralise him and anything is possible. C'mon Pakistan.

 

[razabbas]

This has been an absolute cracker of a match so far!

Hopefully our boys will not bow down to them this time

 

[world cup captain]

THIs RUn OUT ??

No the Herath delivery. The special yorker.

 

[Sam18696]

We can definitely win this. Cmon boys!

 

[saiyan0312]

We have thirty overs to face today. If we are without losses at the end of the day then we will be in very good position.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Tea - Day 4

 

[Saeed]

Its about time our openers score some runs.

 

[world cup captain]

This has been an absolute cracker of a match so far!

I said before this match will have a result but 90% disagreed.

 

[razabbas]

We have thirty overs to face today. If we are without losses at the end of the day then we will be in very good position.

Thats not possible 100-2 can be a decent position and its a realistic score

 

[world cup captain]

Expect Herath in early.

 

[saiyan0312]

Thats not possible 100-2 can be a decent position and its a realistic score

I will take that with open arms.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The reverse swinging yorker and there would not have been a run out as the new ball is hard and goes to the boundary faster and they would have been smashing it. The hatred is just soo much right?

The Reverse Logic applies as well . And I don't hate him cos there is nothing good or talent in him to be Jealous or to hate

 

[desi_launda]

Brainless tuk-tuking by matthews has cost Sri Lanka.Shades of Sharjah.He will be cursing himself for not batting normally.

Pakistan should win this easily

 

[razabbas]

I will take that with open arms.

Same here bas ya dar ha k agar aj manzor chal gaya to Aus and NZL series ma bhe hoga wo

Problem faced with inconsistent players. they score one and stay in the team. TBH irrespective of what manzoors scores he should not open against Aus.

 

[saiyan0312]

this. showed alot of heart and same for ajmal. Bowled on the trott alot.

 

[razabbas]

Lets see i hope we will we seriously need this victory

 

[DW44]

Only once has a score of over 200 been chased successfully on this ground and that was against Zimbabwe. Since 2000, no score over 175 has been chased successfully at SSC.

 

[saiyan0312]

Lets see i hope we will we seriously need this victory

Yep. Never hoped failure on any player and wont start doing it today. I hope they make a good partnership and we win this. Cmon pakistan. We have plenty of overs so either we are winning this or losing this.

Time to make history although i think we have filled our quota of making history for the year.

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

From 186-2 to 282 all out. Brilliant effort with 3 bowlers.

 

[world cup captain]

that game was vs NZL in NZL

Thank you.

 

[ViciousMachine]

We have thirty overs to face today. If we are without losses at the end of the day then we will be in very good position.

Agreed with everything you have said today but this seems a little off. 44 overs left for today as per cricinfo (pending bad light/weather)

 

[Justcrazy]

Manzoor needs to get some runs here

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Only once has a score of over 200 been chased successfully on this ground and that was against Zimbabwe. Since 2000, no score over 175 has been chased successfully at SSC.

I can't imagine there have been many situations at the SSC such as the one here. 4 sessions to chase 271.

 

[saiyan0312]

Agreed with everything you have said today but this seems a little off. 44 overs left for today as per cricinfo (pending bad light/weather)

It was a little wish nothing more. I wont be surprised of we are 50/3 at the end of the day. With the cracks coming in and the spin ajmal was getting i would be surprised if we are even just three down today. We will have to pull all of a miracle to win this match.

Shizzy and khurram are out there. cmon 50 partnership. We desperately need it.

 

[hur rizvi]

Last chance for Manzoor

 

[razabbas]

Thank you.

[hur rizvi]

Swing for Welegedara

 

[razabbas]

What the hell khurram

 

[saiyan0312]

That was a very reckless shot there by manzoor. He is in hitting mood.

I remember it now. Great memories.

 

[Justcrazy]

The chase begins

 

[saiyan0312]

Prasad to bowl.

 

[Energetic]

50:50 now. Pakistan has the overs to chase, Sri Lanka has the time and conditions to exploit.

 

[world cup captain]

Expect some runs today.

 

[razabbas]

 

[saiyan0312]

great drive by shezad. misfield allowed runs.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good shot

 

[saiyan0312]

Dangerous. very dangerous there by shezad.

 

[hur rizvi]

We need to be aggressive but not overly aggressive

 

[Bullet Drive]

So happy for Wahab.

Now time for Shehzad to do something special.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Best hope we don't lose a wicket because I am sure Azhar Ali will kill momentum.

 

[razabbas]

they wa they both are throwing their bat

i can sense atleast 1 wicket

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played Khurram

 

[razabbas]

That was good from khuram

 

[saiyan0312]

thats is a great shot by manzoor.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Fastandfurious]

Manzoor needs to attack, attack and attack. If he defends, he'll be gone in no time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Khurram very positive.

Nice.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Khurram should be dropped unless if he wins us this game.

 

[Mr Consistent]

lanka should introduce herath now

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman is an allrounder.

An insult to allrounders everywhere.

 

[Aman]

SL's pacers are ordinary, Mathews should have opened with

 

[Justcrazy]

258 more required

 

[saiyan0312]

Some positive shots now MASHALLAH

 

[Bullet Drive]

Positivity is key.. carry on this way.

Have to smash Herath

 

[saiyan0312]

Oh inside edge. if you stand their cemented then it will always happen.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ha ha Khurram again
