[Free Hit]

50 up, record broken, 1st fifty runs opening partnership in all kind of format since the t20 world cup has started 9 innings

 

[Free Hit]

ok openers only 1/3rd of the job is done.

that seems nice they only got 50 and 1/3 is done that mean they are doing ok

 

[Sparhawk]

We will tell stories about the day our openers made 50 runs.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

[pak4life]

[Zeenix]

[Amoeba]

nearly FAWAD Alam's 1st boundary

Which begs the question for all you statisticians out there- what is the highest score made by a batsman without a boundary?

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Well played Faddy boy and Khurram. Keep up the good work.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

5 sessions so far in this match.

sri lanks has won 3 and pakistan has won 2.

so next session is going to be huge

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I be expecting them to topple that traill by the end of this Day hopefully

[rhussain33]

Goos stuff these two need to get a huge partnership, then let the others accelarate like mad, get 400-500 and by stumps lunch day fourr and we got a match on our hands.

 

[MIG]

Just goes to show what ONE bad session can do for you in a test match!

Pak blew it away in Galle and first morning in Colombo - SL wasted a golden opp to seal the series by losing wickets in pretty much similar fashion.

Look at their FOW:

Fall of wickets1-28 (Warnapura, 6.5 ov), 2-82 (Paranavitana, 21.5 ov), 3-133 (Jayawardene, 39.4 ov), 4-177 (Samaraweera, 53.5 ov), 5-188 (Sangakkara, 56.2 ov), 6-203 (Dilshan, 63.5 ov), 7-220 (Kulasekara, 70.4 ov), 8-220 (Herath, 70.5 ov), 9-227 (Thushara, 74.6 ov), 10-240 (Mathews, 79.6 ov)

 

[Zeenix]

Goos stuff these two need to get a huge partnership, then let the others accelarate like mad, get 400-500 and by stumps lunch day fourr and we got a match on our hands.

It is already a HUGE partnership. What else do you expect them to do.. Get a 100 Runs Partnership.. You must be dreaming..

 

[Free Hit]

weather is excellent, and i dont think so we should even bother about weather especially sri lankas, because weather will save us one match but it wont keep doing this favour

 

[Zeenix]

Herath the Destroyer On..

 

[Zeenix]

And they manage to score a run of Herath

 

[Oxy]

It is already a HUGE partnership. ..

)

 

[adarsh_bang]

fawad seems to be comfortably picking up singles and building a good innings... will someone please tell me how is he against spinners??? this herath guy scares me, hope pak batsmen keep him quite

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need a solid last session here from Fawad/Manzoor.

 

[Zeenix]

And 4 by fawad

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 66/0 - Fawad 34* Manzoor 30*

 

[Amoeba]

It was EAB Rowan from SAF way back in 1930's

http://stats.cricinfo.com/statsguru...00;template=results;type=batting;view=innings

Ok. Either way he ain't gonna get the record now!

 

[adarsh_bang]

fawad seems to be comfortably picking up singles and building a good innings... will someone please tell me how is he against spinners??? this herath guy scares me, hope pak batsmen keep him quite

well... that shot answers my question and ramiz raja is such a demotivated human... cant praise a pakistani batsman even if his life depends on it

 

[Zeenix]

69/0. And yes its Pakistan batting..

 

[Muhammad]

We are owning this day so far, will probably overtake yesterday's score without losing a wicket.

 

[Zeenix]

Haazreen aur Nazreen... Ab jo aap dekh rahay hain, yeh Sadioon Mai kaheen hota hai.. Woh kia kehtay hain..

Hazaroon Saal Nargis Apni be-noori pay Roti hai..

Bari Mushkil say hota hai Chaman mai deedawar paida..


So is this Innings from Pakistani openers...

Ab unko 100 Khoon i mean 100 failures maaf..

 

[umerz]

75/0 (20.3 ov) and yes PAkistan batting

 

[Zeenix]

75/0 ... I should have wished for premiership..

 

[Zeenix]

50% of the deficit has been wiped off

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Zeenix]

appeal not out..

 

[Toony™®]

[Zeenix]
