[Deewana Mastana]

10 minutes

Oh yeah!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not impossible to save. Great bowling by Pakistan.

Need a 100 opening partnership.

Sighs...True

 

[siccric]

I think they should be out in 15 mins right?!

less than 15 minutes, I think

 

[pak4life]

This is probably the best time to bat its only the second day dont forget. Lets see if the batsmen will stand up and be counted. I have my hopes on misbah and younis getting big hundreds inshallah.

 

[siccric]

Broadcast back on

 

[insaftak]

Out!

 

[ice5968]

10 minutes

As pakistan will lose all the wickets again, i am really not going to see the batting cuzz i don't want to go throw the agnay again like last night. 3:42 am here and now i am off to sleep.

 

[iZeeshan]

If we only lose one wicket by the end of the day, that will be massive for us.

 

[insaftak]

Out!

just joking, sorry if anyone had a heart attack

 

[MIG]

Out!

Better not be a joke.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Out!

Kon?

 

[cricketpassion]

Malik should be sent in to open with the tail-ender Manzoor. Fawad is more suited to the middle order where his technique won't get exposed as much as it did in the first innings (i.e. if we don't end up collapsing again)

Very good bowling performance from the bowlers. The pitch is doing nothing, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary for the bowlers. So its a huge achievement bowling out Sri Lanka for under 250 in this innings, if only we had gotten 150 somehow we would have been in a better position. Still a LOT of time to go in this test, I hope our batsmen think about that

) tail ender

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 guys wheeling the big roller on the pitch

 

[MIG]

just joking, sorry if anyone had a heart attack

See told you all doubt if they would've changed them!

 

[insaftak]

We only allow one such joke in your stay at PP...

[slix10]

just joking, sorry if anyone had a heart attack

No heartattacks here, us pakistanis are used to it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fawad Alam and Khurram Manzoor to open the 2nd innings!

 

[insaftak]

fawad opening again, that's a bad joke

 

[Usman Chadda]

issed:

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We only allow one such joke in your stay at PP...

Why one?

Heck he gave me one serious chance of heart attack at the tender age of 29.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hope Fawad can do better in this innings - InshahAllah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The ball swung back in to Khurram - 1st ball eh

 

[insaftak]

Why one?

Heck he gave me one serious chance of heart attack at the tender age of 29.

[slix10]

Hope Fawad can do better in this innings - InshahAllah

He will "shuffle" his way through- inshall.

 

[insaftak]

kurram strikes fear in my heart

 

[Afridi_Fan]

dude why u want me to get banned, lol

 

[siccric]

Ramiz offering invaluable advice

 

[Wassixpakistani]

So Sri-lanka are 240 All Out and with a lead of 150 .That's better than what I hoped for.
The Pak Openers must play "Intelligently" or else we'll be in hot water before we know it , they should at least to put on a 80 partnership.

 

[pak4life]

kurram strikes fear in my heart

lol hope you have a strong heart you will need it

 

[insaftak]

is kurram saying "ya allah madad" before every ball

 

[slix10]

Edged and gone for 4.

 

[insaftak]

edge and 44444444444444

 

[siccric]

Pak off the mark with a four

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Cmon guys don't let us down

 

[siccric]

Fawad shuffling toooooooooooooooo much

 

[insaftak]

next goal is to get 6 runs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

is kurram saying "ya allah madad" before every ball

If he is. then he is doing no wrong.We do need a near miracle and for that Ya Allah Madad

 

[siccric]

Horrendous shot from Manzoor. Someone needs to hit him

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Fawad shuffling toooooooooooooooo much

Dont curse the guy, let him play.

 

[insaftak]

need to stay away from these crappy shots

 

[MIG]

Horrendous shot from Manzoor. Someone needs to hit him

The beauty of not watching this live - even streaky shots seem good !

 

[insaftak]

6 runs, next goal is to get 8 runs

 

[MIG]

Bowling speeds for both bowlers pls...

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Who is Ayaz mahmood ?

 

[Toony™®]

144 runs to get

 

[siccric]

Dont curse the guy, let him play.

I'm not cursing, just saying

Jayawardene just told Thushara to bowl the middle stump line, and Fawad won't last long against that line unless he stops shuffling

 

[pak4life]

I dont understand this shuffling business stay still!

 

[MIG]

Who is Ayaz mahmood ?

No body - stop reading cricinfo

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Bowling speeds for both bowlers pls...

Do you trust Sri-lanka equipment ?

 

[Toony™®]

142 to avoid an innings defeat

 

[insaftak]

Bowling speeds for both bowlers pls...

tushara with 135 mph

 

[insaftak]

next goal is to get 10 runs

 

[Wassixpakistani]

No body - stop reading cricinfo

Ayaz Mahmood from Pakistan: "Pakistan can creat the same situation for Sri Lanka that they were in during the first test if they could score 300 plus runs in their second innings. Younus is due to put up a big show now."

He must be somebody if he can say this

 

[siccric]

Bowling speeds for both bowlers pls...

Thushara in the mid 130s

I'll check Kulesekara's speeds in the next over


[Edit]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I'm not cursing, just saying

Jayawardene just told Thushara to bowl the middle stump line, and Fawad won't last long against that line unless he stops shuffling

Wow you even know Sri Lankan language?

 

[MIG]

Just want to know what kind of speeds our batters are up against

 

[Couch Cricketer]

this now look likes a paksitani track with low bounce and little or no movement
plus SL has no one that can bowl fast reverse swing in the team
so expect YK and MY to have another 350-400 run partnership.
so far Yk gets out and they dont get to bat together hope they can change that this innings

 

[insaftak]

10 runs, next goal is to get 12 runs

 

[insaftak]

klusakara with 130mph

 

[pak4life]

Manzoor squared up again really needs to get his feet sorted at this level

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Achira from Sri Lanka: "Once again SL Batsmen have put in to waste all the good work of the SL bowlers.So disappointing to see this happen over and over again.we had(still have,but would have been much more easier) a wonderful opportunity to grab a historic series win and SL Batsmen(No surprise there) let it slip away."

Oh boy Now I'm mad issed:

 

[siccric]

Wow you even know Sri Lankan language?

No, it was quite clear in the first innings and then this one too
He used his hands to gesture to Thushara to attack the stumps against Fawad

 

[Usman Chadda]

Just want to know what kind of speeds our batters are up against

Kulasekara is around 125-130 kph ... Thushara a little bit quicker, 128-134 kph ... Matthews is a dibbly dobbly medium pacer, his pace is the last thing we should be worried about

Watching Manzoor bat is nothing short of torture. First time I am watching a batsman let perfect half-volleys go through to the keeper

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No, it was quite clear in the first innings and then this one too
He used his hands to gesture to Thushara to attack the stumps against Fawad

LoLz boy you are good at guessing.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Mashallah , 10 run partnership up .

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

]We need to wipe out this lead today

 

[insaftak]

fawad stops and runs and then goes back

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Mashallah , 10 run partnership up .

Mashallah

 

[pak4life]

If manzoor does survive the new ball (inshallah) is he any better facing spin?

 

[iafzal]

These guys are the real deal, just reached double figure partnership next target tripple figure partnership

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Kulasekara is around 125-130 kph ... Thushara a little bit quicker, 128-134 kph ... Matthews is a dibbly dobbly medium pacer, his pace is the last thing we should be worried about

Watching Manzoor bat is nothing short of torture. First time I am watching a batsman let perfect half-volleys go through to the keeper

I dont care if he can survive 15-20 overs and keep YK and MY from the new ball I would be happy although there is not much movement even now

 

[Afridi_Fan]

]We need to wipe out this lead today

Is it that important?

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Playing intelligently so far .

 

[slix10]

Oh god.

Something is always wrong with the ball for Sanga.

 

[siccric]

LoLz boy you are good at guessing.

Thank you for noticing

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Is it that important?

Why don't you want that ;/

 

[insaftak]

sanga complaining about the ball againnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[MIG]

One wonders (or shudders to think) what Shahzaib would have done in this situation

 

[pak4life]

Ball getting changed again looks like they got a faullty batch
