Sri Lanka v Pakistan| 2nd Test - Day 2 | Colombo | 13/07/09

[Bilsher007]

Asalaam alikum wr wb,

They must take inspiration from performances in series against india in 2005 Mohali and in karachi 2006 for staging a tough fight. We need centuries from atleast two men whilst others score past 50s. Ideally we should score 500 to give target of 350 which will be winnable to defend INSHALLAH.

 

[MIG]

Oh god.

Something is always wrong with the ball for Sanga.

Mind games - not great for our batsmen

 

[insaftak]

mind games or something really wrong with the ball

 

[Wassixpakistani]

There's always something wrong with Sanga's balls. )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why don't you want that ;/

I am just saying that its not a must, and in trying that we may lose some wickets which I srely wont like.Would you?

As instructed in our previous exchange, pls do not watch on RAW inspired Zee Cinema as it always shows us in a bad light

 

[Afridi_Fan]

mind games or something really wrong with the ball

Ohh come on, The umpires wont change a ball for mind games.

 

[insaftak]

i would be happy with 75 runs and 0 out till stumps

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Luck is on our side it seems ..at least for last two sessions today.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i would be happy with 75 runs and 0 out till stumps

Thats what I wont complain one bit.

 

[siccric]

I'd be happy with anything for no loss till stumps

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Luck is on our side it seems ..at least for last two sessions today.

Would you let me know, how you figured that out?

 

[insaftak]

next goal is to get 15 runs

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I am just saying that its not a must, and in trying that we may lose some wickets which I srely wont like.Would you?

there are still plenty of overs left , we should top that lead even if we go at a snail's pace but yes the batsman should be careful with their shot selection.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Would you let me know, how you figured that out?

Easy, there was a misfield and 2 runs

 

[Wassixpakistani]

4.3


Kulasekara to Khurram Manzoor, FOUR

 

[insaftak]

444444444444444444444

 

[Alam_dar]

The ball is not moving so much for Kulasekra as it did in the first inning

 

[insaftak]

next goal is to get 20 runs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

there are still plenty of overs left , we should top that lead even if we go at a snail's pace but yes the batsman should be careful with their shot selection.

Thats what I want a watchful and intelligent approach by our batsmen, so topping the lead is not a must for today, but I will be really glad if that happens.

 

[slix10]

"Vun vun vun vun vun vun vun. run. "- the call.

19/0.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

5 overs gone and its 19 without loss , Going good so far

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Easy, there was a misfield and 2 runs

Ohh Thank You for the deep insight.

P.S The colored writing looks bad on eyes, dont you think that?

 

[iafzal]

next goal is to get 15 runs

one step at a time don;t get ahead of yourself mate

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a good shot by Fawad - 3 runs

 

[insaftak]

3 more, 23 runs, next goal 25 runs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

"Vun vun vun vun vun vun vun. run. "- the call.

19/0.

What exactly is this vun vun stuff?

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Kulasekara to Khurram Manzoor, no run, similar line just pitched up a bit more, Manzoor isn't interested in that one either
Kulasekara to Khurram Manzoor, no run, much better line from Kulasekara, outside off stump left alone by Manzoor

Flasher is actually playing like an operner and leaving deliveries

 

[Toony™®]

127 to get

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I hope get Kulasekara and Thushara go for plenty runs

 

[MIG]

Pak -127 without loss...

 

[iafzal]

What exactly is this vun vun stuff?

vun = one

 

[slix10]

What exactly is this vun vun stuff?

It's how Manzoor says "One." for one run.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

3 runs . good running

 

[Afridi_Fan]

127 to get

Why dont we type as

127 to get to get level?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pak -127 without loss...

Ye thats more like it.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Partnership building HUUUURAAYYYYYYYY

 

[insaftak]

2 more

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nicely struck down the ground by Fawad for 2 runs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Again a nice shot but just a single

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Aun ansari from Pakistan: "The new ball anywhere in the world or on any pitch in the world does offer some assistance to the bowlers. If pakistan can see through this session without losing too many wickets, the middle order will also gain in confidence from the build up and im sure we will see younis and mysbah perform. Its up to the openers to lay the platform."

Well said

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Impressed by fawad.
So far going to plan. Need to bat 120 overs+

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Again a nice shot but just a single

Just dont say Butt.

 

[iafzal]

1/4 Century. Good going !

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Fawad Justifying his position .

 

[Alam_dar]

Fawad is a solid player. I am seeing a very good solid player in him.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Alam going at a good pace

 

[siccric]

Ugh, Waqar on and I have to go eat lunch

 

[siccric]

Please don't jinx it while I'm gone, people

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Any idea till which over, the ball continues to swing?

[Wassixpakistani]

[Afridi_Fan]

[MIG]

Drinks and Round 1 to Pakistan. Well done.

 

[slix10]

Any idea till which over, the ball continues to swing?

Around 10th over, we are safe.

But to be really safe 15th over the ball is old.

 

[insaftak]

lol our next goal is to get 29 runs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Thanks, I was thinking on the same lines.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

[Zeenix]

[insaftak]

[Zeenix]

[Wassixpakistani]

And Mathews gets a bowl

 

[Toony™®]

-122 without loss lol

 

[insaftak]

no need for that shot

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Next Target, break the last 10 year record of 30 Runs..

) thts a good one.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

What he do wrong?

Earning cheap runs

 

[Zeenix]

don't jinx it man

Look, this 27 from our openers is as rare as a 327 from openers of other teams. So we should rejoice it.

Our openers have done their job..

Congrats Team Pakistan.. And as i write they take another run.. WOW.

On to break the Pakistani record of 30 Runs .

 

[slix10]

I'm more concerned when the spin comes on.

Manzoor can't really read spin (IMO).

 

[MIG]

Mendis will be warming up I guess or Herath the Destroyer?

 

[Zeenix]

I'm more concerned when the spin comes on.

Manzoor can't really read spin (IMO).

Is it spin only that he can't read...

 

[insaftak]

next goal is to get 31 runs

Ok now it can be counted as jinxing

 

[Zeenix]

They had to chuck a new bowler this time around. Given our propensity to establish careers of nothing bowlers all in good faith offcourse, a new bowler would have a much better chance..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Is it going to rain tommorrow for certain?

 

[insaftak]

31 next goal is to get 33

 

[Zeenix]

Ok now it can be counted as jinxing

I can see myself getting banned, if the dreaded finger goes up..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is it going to rain tommorrow for certain?

and who exactly said tht?
