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

[thivaakar]

Roshan Abeysinghe(commentator/agent) praising Thirimanne who is his client lol. Conflict of interest

 

[zahid02]

Why did he shrug Younis off when he went to shake his hand? I thought that was very rude.

What are you talking about? He didnt shrug Younis. He was looking at the ground probably million things running on his mind.
Infact, it was hard to Sangakara also. You can see both were unsettled. Infact, they gifted their wickets to Ajmal.

 

[Saeed]

How much do you guys think we will have a chance of chasing here??

As long as its not above 250 we have a chance.

 

[Shafi]

Mathew will be next Kallis.

 

[Sam18696]

Any updates on Juni?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Mathew will be next Kallis.

He won't be.He is not even close to the bowler Kallis was.And batting wise it is too early to say.Even in that department alone Kallis is a great of the game.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Any updates on Juni?

Mild Concussion.

 

[MRSN]

that was reversing..Wahab will pick Thrimanne for sure.

 

[Sam18696]

Mild Concussion.

So he is not playing today as well? Damn

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon two more wickets and it's Pak's session

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 181 runs with 6 wickets remaining

 

[hur rizvi]

Unlucky Ajmal

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[thivaakar]

Manzoor has very muscular calves

 

[Arsal_AK]

Fantastic By Ajmal.

 

[Shafi]

He won't be.He is not even close to the bowler Kallis was.And batting wise it is too early to say.Even in that department alone Kallis is a great of the game.

Then Kallis for Pakistan

 

[Arsal_AK]

Just don't give Rehman the ball , please.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Oh no!

 

[Shafi]

Rehman on!! Easy runs for Lankans

 

[Sam18696]

Stupid edges

 

[Sam18696]

Not Rehman plz. Anyone but him

 

[MRSN]

Rehman?Why oh why..this is really predictable now.

Wahab was going to remove Thrimmanne. He was reversing.

 

[Shafi]

Any updates on Juni?

It's unlikely he will ball today or even ODI. Big loss for us!!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

200 up for lanka

 

[MRSN]

Just don't give Rehman the ball , please.

don't get. Thrimmane was more struggling against Wahab than he'll against spin. Very poor decision..he has to bowl pacer from one end.

 

[Electron]

End of Mahela's career. I wish him luck for the future. Absolute class on flat tracks.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Bring Shehzad on please.

 

[Sam18696]

It's unlikely he will ball today or even ODI. Big loss for us!!!

Definitely

 

[Arsal_AK]

It's unlikely he will ball today or even ODI. Big loss for us!!!

He will be fine for the ODI's.It's just a concussion.If he feels okay he can even bowl today.

 

[thivaakar]

How much do you guys think we will have a chance of chasing here??

260 to 310

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to keep the lead down to 300

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Mathew and Thirimanne settle!!!

 

[Mr Consistent]

And grimmer news for Pakistan: Junaid is out of the Test match. We'll have a report up on the site very soon.

 

[C.E.S]

Long-off and long-on are default positions for us, regardless of the situation...so frustrating to watch us release the pressure

 

[Kianig89]

Game is slipping away

 

[Shafi]

Ajmal lost his variation!! Very disappointing

 

[Justcrazy]

one wicket away from 100 test wickets

 

[Shafi]

Why can not our spinners swing ball?

 

[Justcrazy]

Long-off and long-on are default positions for us, regardless of the situation...so frustrating to watch us release the pressure

Both Misbah and waqar are negative

 

[Kianig89]

Anyone missing

 

[Justcrazy]

Why can not our spinners swing ball?

because seamers swing the ball .... spinners spin

 

[Justcrazy]

Anyone missing

He is much better than

 

[Shafi]

Both Misbah and waqar are negative

Waqar should not be head coach. Make Flower as head coach, get rid of Mushi and replace Waqar with any Australian bowling coach. Also we dont need assistant coach, analyst, security officer, manager and massage man. Too many staffs.

 

[thivaakar]

Chisty just called Arnold an "ace commentator and a weather pundit" )). Russel Arnold is known for getting the weather prediction wrong. See what Chisty did there ?

 

[parwezzkhan]

Rehman releasing the pressure......

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rehman bowling tripe.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Why can not our spinners swing ball?

??

 

[Arsal_AK]

Give Shehzad the ball instead of Rehman.He was bowling so well yesterday.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Australia & NZ will play Ajmal comfortably.

 

[Justcrazy]

20 runs partnership here

 

[zahid02]

Arnold the Astrologer... lolz

 

[Arsal_AK]

Looks like Australia & NZ will play Ajmal comfortably.

No, they won't.He will run through them.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Sri Lanka lead by 200 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 200 now

 

[Shafi]

Finally a out!!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Ajmal.What a delivery.

 

[Saeed]

, that was a great delivery.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Thirimanne third wicket for ajmal

 

[Arsal_AK]

Man Imagine if we had Junaid bowling from the other end instead of Rehman.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 down

 

[ViciousMachine]

AJMALLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!! When the people start to doubt you cause you had a few "average" days, you remind them all how silly they are by taking 3 wickets in a session. MAGICIANNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!

 

[thivaakar]

DUCMANNE is gone

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Guys is it Ajmal or is the pitch spinning?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Haven't watched the match so asking.

 

[thivaakar]

Lets see how Genitalwella deals with Ajmal

 

[ViciousMachine]

Both. There is def turn, but like Rehman is barely getting any. I would expect Herath will get turn as well.

 

[thivaakar]

Haven't watched the match so asking.

the Pitch

 

[Shafi]

Rehman the run leaker!!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

ajmal bowling well

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

the Pitch

Both. There is def turn, but like Rehman is barely getting any. I would expect Herath will get turn as well.

Ohh....I guess this is going to be an enthralling Test.

Pak batsmen Vs Herath is the competition.

 

[Shafi]

Mathew is more responsible than Misbah!!!!

 

[hur rizvi]

May be try wahab from Rehman's end

 

[Sam18696]

Both. There is def turn, but like Rehman is barely getting any. I would expect Herath will get turn as well.

Then Pak batting isn't gonna last long.

 

[Aman]

Where do Pakistan end up if they lose 0-2?

 

[Aman]

Do Pakistan have any chance of chasing 200+ here?

 

[Aman]

250 = 50-50
300 = SL favorites
360 = SL certainties

 

[Sam18696]

Nope

 

[Justcrazy]

Matthews is again difficult to get rid off

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rehman

 

[hur rizvi]

Dickwella is good
