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

[Shafi]

One sided match!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

We need someface saving runs. This is embarrassing stuff.

 

[Aman]

12fer for the Herathinator

 

[world cup captain]

This is how you play against herath . Watch and learn Negative minded Misbah

Misbah got the negativity from the people of pp.

 

[Madplayer]

If Sarfraz gets a 100 here we shall make him the Prime-Minister.

)

 

[Kiri]

52-5. Herath is on a rampage.

 

[NZcricketfan]

That was a totally different Sri Lanka team.

Dilshan, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Mathews, Herath, Samaraweera

Love your excuses

 

[world cup captain]

Dean Jones still thinks Pakistan are in with a chance.

Yes. He and I both think so.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

If only we could have Dean Jones as our coach, I love that never-say-die attitude.

Come on Sarfraz and Shafiq. If we put up a 100-run partnership who knows what can happen?

It ain't over till the last ball.

 

[Shafi]

Even NZ can better spin than us.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan again being bullied by Herath!

No strategy whatsoever !

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Dilshan, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Mathews, Herath, Samaraweera

Love your excuses

Do you seriously think that Sri Lankan team could have beaten England away?

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Another series follows the script for

Remember how [MENTION=135578]Pakistani_Legend[/MENTION] mocked NZ's epic collapse vs Sri Lanka??

Enjoy your revenge

Personal milestones are all thats at stake now. Just hope someone hits a 50 and gets the score up to a somewhat respectable 150

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The Worst thing to happen now would be Shafiq getting Srafaraz Run out

 

[Aman]

I hope Vettori plays, Pakistan seem to struggle against left arm spinners

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Dilshan, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Mathews, Herath, Samaraweera

Love your excuses

IMO, this Sri Lankan series is tougher than the Aus and NZL series.

 

[Shafi]

We need to be humiliated in order have some positive change.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

I hope Vettori plays, Pakistan seem to struggle against left arm spinners

Pak struggles against all types of bowlers.

We are the masters in providing confidence to all bowlers.

 

[Pete Rose]

Khurrum Manzoor unfairly maligned - still the highest scorer in the innings

 

[Forward Defence]

Sarfraz looking confident, wearing a cap and using his feet.

 

[coy0607]

Sarfraz has played an attaching shot every ball he's faced.. either sweep or come down the wicket

 

[Madplayer]

Pak struggles against all types of bowlers.

We are the masters in providing confidence to all bowlers.

large hearts

 

[Nuekboi]

Herath 17 wicket haul incoming

 

[world cup captain]

Who is having a more humiliating series? India or Pakistan?

 

[Madplayer]

attaching shot? )

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah got the negativity from the people of pp.

Pakistan saw the term negative mindset in real when Misbah started to captain the Team

 

[Aman]

Should be burning effigies and throw tomatoes and eggs at the players when they return home.

 

[saiyan0312]

sweot by shafiq there.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[MRSN]

Lovely sweep.

 

[Bosch]

We 2 test they are on number 5

 

[saiyan0312]

60 on. Will another fall.

 

[world cup captain]

Pakistan saw the term negative mindset in real when Misbah started to captain the Team

excellent reply

 

[Donal Cozzie]

They've reached 60.

Time for the next wicket

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Who is having a more humiliating series? India or Pakistan?

England is a quality Side. So No big surprise. Losing against SL like this is just worse than being humiliated

 

[MRSN]

Shabha Shafiq you have to prove these morons what positive cricket can do to you.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Shafiq is watching the ball all the way, that's the way to go.

 

[Aman]

Who is having a more humiliating series? India or Pakistan?

India would win in SL, Pakistan would definitely lose 0-5 in England.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

60 runs up. Time for the sixth wicket ??

 

[Madplayer]

England is a quality Side. So No big surprise. Losing against SL like this is just worse than being humiliated

u kidding? sanga, jaya , matthews , herath alone will beat england in srilanka

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Remember how [MENTION=135578]Pakistani_Legend[/MENTION] mocked NZ's epic collapse vs Sri Lanka??

Enjoy your revenge

Personal milestones are all thats at stake now. Just hope someone hits a 50 and gets the score up to a somewhat respectable 150

I didn't. You must be confusing me with Mamoon.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Who cares about India?

We should worry about our own team.

 

[Bosch]

But NZ WILL LOSSE BOTH

 

[GreenKnightRises]

India would win in SL,

A draw maybe

 

[ammar93]

u kidding? sanga, jaya , matthews , herath alone will beat england in srilanka

It's not just about losing. It's about HOW you lose.

 

[Shafi]

Apart from Sarfraz (So far???) all of players play for their personal record. That's why we can play 2 good innings in a row.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Kamran Akmal and Abdul Razzaq comeback is needed from Sarfraz and Shafiq.

 

[Madplayer]

It's not just about losing. It's about HOW you lose.

true. but this sl team is better than Pak. apart from Younis there is no quality batsman and there is no quality test class bowler

 

[GreenKnightRises]

u kidding? sanga, jaya , matthews , herath alone will beat england in srilanka

England Drew the Series in Sri Lanka last time. BTW we were comparing India's loss in Eng and Pak's loss IN SL.

 

[Aman]

I didn't. You must be confusing me with Mamoon.

Reckon we should send a few of our players down to Pakistan? You know, with us all not knowing how to play spin and all.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Whats the name of the guy who has that signature

"Its not about winning or losing

Its about GETTING OUT"

Thats what comes to mind here

 

[MeanAndGreen]

true. but this sl team is better than Pak. apart from Younis there is no quality batsman and there is no quality test class bowler

Tbh the bowlers have bowled well in this game.

 

[Aman]

A draw maybe

Pujara has done well on the rank turners of India against Swann and Panesar. Trust me, India would cash in against SL's bowlers.

 

[Shafi]

true. but this sl team is better than Pak. apart from Younis there is no quality batsman and there is no quality test class bowler

Younis a quality? He became Herath's bunny

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Younis a quality? He became Herath's bunny

Well everyone has become Herath's bunny..

 

[Aman]

Whats the name of the guy who has that signature

Thats what comes to mind here

Was that ?

 

[ammar93]

true. but this sl team is better than Pak. apart from Younis there is no quality batsman and there is no quality test class bowler

Yeah that's true. No one in this team learns from their mistakes. The only positive one is Sarfaraz.

 

[DW44]

I hope Vettori plays, Pakistan seem to struggle against left arm spinners

Not him though. Averages 50 against Pakistan with a SR of 115 and 2.xx wickets per test.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Look with how ease these two are playing.. This just proves where a negative mindset would lead you and where positive mindset lead you .

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Sarfraz for captain?

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Was that ?

He has it as an Afridi quote yeah lol.

I dont know his name but its the best signature on the forum. Always gets a chuckle out of me

 

[Madplayer]

Younis a quality? He became Herath's bunny

well he is the best we have

 

[Aman]

Not him though. Averages 50 against Pakistan with a SR of 115 and 2.xx wickets per test.

He's not bowling at the same legends anymore

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Only 205 more runs.

 

[Madplayer]

Only 205 more runs.

only?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

true. but this sl team is better than Pak. apart from Younis there is no quality batsman and there is no quality test class bowler

Sanga and Herath is the only difference between the teams. Rest are same

 

[Madplayer]

shafiq using the feet well

 

[Sunny786]

Kamran Akmal and Abdul Razzaq comeback is needed from Sarfraz and Shafiq.

View attachment 47893

That was a long batting line up

 

[Energetic]

Sanga and Herath is the only difference between the teams. Rest are same

Very true but even without them Sri Lanka are clearly the best team in Asia in last few years.

 

[world cup captain]

only?

Yes only.

 

[yasir]

Shafi does not cover the line of the ball with his body, bad technique, Sarfarz does much better...


I still cannot get over the fact that why they don't have left handers in top 5... All top 5 have same technical issues against out swing or spin :-(

 

[Madplayer]

Sanga and Herath is the only difference between the teams. Rest are same

matthews is in bradmanesque form. jaya although mediocre against us, is a quality batsman on these pitches.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Came back to check the score and I've got no words to say.

 

[Madplayer]

sarfaraz is being over aggressive here. but if it works for him, he should continue with this approach

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sarfraz for captain?

Not a bad option. Also has experience captaining under-19's and Karachi side. But If Fawad Alam is given a chance in Test I would love to have him as the captain

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Fawad, Haris and Umar need to be in starting XI against Australia.

 

[DW44]

He's not bowling at the same legends anymore

He's been equally crap against the new generation. 16 wickets at 36 and a strike rate of 98 against the Farhat/Butt/Yousuf(worse than the likes of Butt in overseas conditions)/Fawad and Farhat/YK/Misbah Shafiq lineups. Probably only slow left armer who has been completely dominated by Pakistan.

 

[Straight_Drive]

Misbah will guide us to victory!

ummmm...NO

 

[AZulfi]

Muneeb: "Who says Pakistan doesn't produce Stars. Pakistan excels in it rather. Be it Rangana Herath (SL), Paul Harris (SA), Marcus North (Aus), Daryll Tuffey (NZ), Kukasekara (SL), Amit Mishra (IND)"

 

[Madplayer]

why did they stop playing?
