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

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Arsal_AK]

No drs review showed it was umpires call on tumps. would have been a waste or review.

Did it?? I didn't catch that.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Russell Arnold had a perfect point in the first innings.

Pak batsmen push their bats forward against spin instead of watching it under their eyes.

 

[Forward Defence]

:

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Prasad taking wickets with new ball. Herath turning miles with New ball. And here some says only Old ball Turns )

 

[imshally81]

Please go for review

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Have a feeling Azhar will get stumped.

 

[Aman]

Herath the overrated because of Pakistan on attack

Ajmal is more over rated than Herath, in fact I'd say Herath was under rated before this series.

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar

 

[saiyan0312]

That hit the pads. Not out given but azhar is not comfortable against spin and REVIEW

 

[imshally81]

Oh yes review

 

[Pete Rose]

good sweep

 

[Forward Defence]

Review time.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another review wasted??????????

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[imshally81]

Review wasted

 

[Aman]

Reviewed

 

[Boi]

Lol another review wasted.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

This will be out

 

[zains_rulez]

Herath is teasing pakistani batsmans

 

[MeanAndGreen]

It looks like it straightened.

 

[Mr Consistent]

both reviews wasted

 

[imshally81]

Yessss

 

[Aman]

Another wasted review.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fawad Alam should have been playing for last 3 years , pathetic selection policy by Pakistan

 

[MeanAndGreen]

I take that back haha.

 

[saiyan0312]

Prasad taking wickets with new ball. Herath turning miles with New ball. And here some says only Old ball Turns )

What part of our bowlers cant use the new ball dont you understand. did you see the series? clearly you didnt otherwise you would know only junaid did something with the new ball. Their bowlers are better at new ball then we are and THAT IS A FACT

 

[ViciousMachine]

Great sweep by Azhar!! And now both reviews wasted on Azhar!! Superstar!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Reviews gone.Good for us.

 

[saiyan0312]

Mathews wasting review. That is just foolish stuff.

 

[Pete Rose]

haha. jayawardane you are truly awful

 

[Saeed]

Lol, they so desperate to take wickets.

 

[Boi]

At least Azhar has developed that full fledged sweep. Didn't have that a couple of years ago. Needs to improve his footwork against the spinners though.

 

[zains_rulez]

Azhar was the one who saved us in sharjah along with misbah !! but today its looking so hard !

 

[Arsal_AK]

What part of our bowlers cant use the new ball dont you understand. did you see the series? clearly you didnt otherwise you would know only junaid did something with the new ball. Their bowlers are better at new ball then we are and THAT IS A FACT

And its their home.Herath knows these pitches by heart.He know what lengths, lines and pace to bowl to get help from the pitches.

Same things were happening to him in the U.A.E.

 

[uberkoen]

We'll win inshaAllah. I have faith in Misbah Khan!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar's sweep shot is his most useful shot, that's what gets him runs.

 

[imshally81]

70 overs without review for SL

 

[MeanAndGreen]

If we lose less than 4 wickets by the end of the day, it will be an achievement.

 

[saiyan0312]

And its their home.Herath knows these pitches by heart.He know what lengths, lines and pace to bowl to get help from the pitches.

Exactly, Herath is a beast at home.

 

[saiyan0312]

we'll win inshaallah. I have faith in misbah khan!

INSHALLAH we will win this.

 

[ExplicitAI]

strike rotation is key here.

 

[MRSN]

nicely driven through midwicket by Azhar.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

I'm calling it goes down to Sarfraz hitting a small knock to seal the deal.

 

[zains_rulez]

We cant win

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Boi]

ffs Herath going to have a field day.

 

[MRSN]

beauty

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[imshally81]

So collapse is on

 

[Forward Defence]

:

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar mr.clueless against spin edges it to slips. Thats practice catching and i said it i would be surprised if we are only 3 down by the end of day.

Send sarfraz in. We need him and younis to make it big.

 

[MRSN]

4th time Hertath has a 10fer.

 

[Kiri]

Herath the beast comes to the party.

 

[zains_rulez]

Its over .... 2-0 for Srilanka

 

[MeanAndGreen]

And we have lost

Why do our batsmen push at the ball??

 

[saadsahabjee]

azhar ali usless again going for a pri meditated defense and not looking for spin.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[ammar93]

Jeez can no one play spin?!

 

[saiyan0312]

Yaar everybody is soo inconsistent. We need an overhaul.

 

[Pete Rose]

perhaps need to send sarfaraz higher....he plays herath better.

 

[Justcrazy]

Three down

 

[Kiri]

Younis Khan and Misbah are at the crease together. They have a good chance to resurrect the chase.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Bye Bye Team Pakistan. Unless Sarfaraz does something special its a definite Whitewash!!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Ajmal is more over rated than Herath, in fact I'd say Herath was under rated before this series.

Herath averaged over 30 before this series so he was rightly rated.

 

[saadsahabjee]

this also shows how useless saeed ajmal has become just look at how herath is bowling.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

All aboard the blame Misbah bandwagon!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan batters are mentally weak .

 

[blackanhyellow]

how flat are the wickets in Pak domestic cricket? Our batsmen cant play spin or pace.

 

[Kiri]

Jeez can no one play spin?!

That ball spun a lot so give the batsman some space.

 

[owaistabish]

Not only that, they play so scared. Nothing has changed and nothing will change about this team.

 

[blackanhyellow]

All aboard the blame Misbah bandwagon!!

#Misbahdidit

 

[Aman]

All aboard the blame Misbah bandwagon!!

He's out of form.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Younis Khan and Misbah are at the crease together. They have a good chance to resurrect the chase.

No, they don't.Misbah will be a goner.Have you seen how much it is turning??

 

[Aman]

Misbah to an extent did do this, he picked players who can't get the job done.

 

[Ahson8]

Thi team is so pathetic.
I'm done with them.

 

[Aman]

Ajmal was bowling against masters of spin.

Rangana is bowling against tail-enders.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What poor defense..
you can't rotate strike..you have a poor defense..why are you in the international team?

 

[Aman]

Russell has swagger
