Sri Lanka v Pakistan| 2nd Test - Day 3 | Colombo | 14/07/09

[MIG]

Cannot bowl wide Aamir get that in your head!

Pakistan will now try and over compensate, get hit all over the park and then wait for a miracle. Happened once in the first innings but wont happen again.

 

[adeem_as]

[waquas_uk]

i take it no swing for our bowlers then?

 

[pakistanbest]

148 now needed!

 

[Khabri420]

Sri Lankans will be finishing this match off today.

 

[pakistanbest]

i take it no swing for our bowlers then?

nothing really!

 

[pakcricketfan]

Pakistan will now try and over compensate, get hit all over the park and then wait for a miracle. Happened once in the first innings but wont happen again.

Why not?
Let's be positive.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

just 148 and with all 10 wickets remaining.

 

[MIG]

Playing like an ODI - the right way to go about this - dont let Pak bowlers settle in.

Well Done to SL players.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Where are all the optimistic PPers?

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

not happening

 

[Muhammad]

Warnapura has been hopeless in this series so far, now is not the time to let him find some form!

 

[muhammad.kamran]

just 147 and with all 10 wickets remaining.

 

[pakistanbest]

Where are all the optimistic PPers?

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

umer gul, wow, 6, 4, 2 and doesnt end there, no balls, gr8 going pakistan, surely ull win now ) ) )

pakistan lost series for sure today, congrats.

 

[pakcricketfan]

This must be extremely shocking for our players..especially people like YK, Fawad,Aamer.. Poor guys

 

[pakistanbest]

143 runs required now!

 

[Khabri420]

Wow...Harper needed to be the umpire there..that would have been out!

 

[muhammad.kamran]

just 142 and with all 10 wickets remaining.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Wow...Harper needed to be the umpire there..that would have been out!

yeah.. We need Harper at both ends.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

let us hope that tea does the same with SL batsmen what the lunch did today with Pakistan batsmen

 

[Khabri420]

Gul bowling poor - another no-ball..does he realize we only have a 140 odd runs to defend

 

[Khabri420]

I've put the commentary on mute - can't stand listening to Ramiz - such an annoying person

 

[muhammad.kamran]

Gul bowling poor - another no-ball..does he realize we only have a 140 odd runs to defend

his(Umar Gul) batting 2(26) did not suggest that he wass aware of the situation of the match, and now his bowling......

 

[pakistanbest]

5mins till tea, got to get a wicket before then!

 

[pakistanbest]

4 runs, Gully not doing the job, in times like this, wish we had an attacking fit and firing Akhtar

 

[izi]

Its heart-breaking. They gave me hope of a great fight back...a fight-back worth remembering...but look what they have done...I will never want to see my young kid to love and cherish this game of cricket like I did. I know its a game of great uncertainities but for Pakistan its too often....I want to shoot numbers 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 but I feel sorry for them...pity on them..Cant have courage to watch this match any more...but how stupid there is something in my wild thoughts that tomorrow I would read Pakistan has won by 30 runs...although I know its Sri Lanka not Pakistan...that is how Pakstan team makes you look fool.

 

[Khabri420]

No-ball, FOUR - such is the story of Umar Gul's lack luster bowling performance

 

[pakcricketfan]

let us hope that tea does the same with SL batsmen what the lunch did today with Pakistan batsmen

InshAllah..........

 

[pakcricketfan]

I am feeling extremely sorry for FAWAD....
The rest of the batsmen barring YK failed to capitalize on the once-in-a-blue-moon start.. Horrendous stuff!!
Now here's hoping that during tea, YK can regroup his players especially his bowlers and motivate them so miraculously that they destroy the SL batting after tea.
I hope I'm not asking too much from them.

 

[Waseem]

What the hell is wron with Gul??
Most importantly, why didn't we open with Aamer and Rauf??? Gul has hardly done anything with new ball and now given away 28 runs in 3 overs.

I am quite patient and positive when it comes to Pakistan cricket but this is too much to handle.

Pathetic bowling by Gul

 

[pakistanbest]

why does both the appeal we had umpired by Taufel, we want Harper

tea time now

 

[muhammad.kamran]

best over for pakistan so far (just 1 run of it)

 

[pakcricketfan]

YK will have a lot to say during these 15 minutes. Hopefully, he can give an extra-inspirational speech..

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan 320 Allout. Thank you for ur great contributions yousaf, misbah, malik and akmal. Thanks to these idiots fawad,younis and manzoor's hardwork all gone down the drain. I really feel like crying. Honestly we must now seriously start to prepare players Asim kamal, Hasan Raza, Umar Akmal, Umar Amin, Shehryaar Ghani as future replacements for yousaf, Misbah and malik in test matches.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Gul has given more than 9 runs per over..! Poor stuff from our spearhead..

Younis Khan is much too overworked. He has to do everything, spoon-feed each player, including other "senior" players. I do feel sorry for Alam, but more so for Younis Khan.

 

[PapaBear]

Dont worry guys, wickets go in heaps in this match , after tea u will see the biggest heap and match would be over

 

[pakcricketfan]

Younis Khan is much too overworked. He has to do everything, spoon-feed each player, including other "senior" players. I do feel sorry for Alam, but more so for Younis Khan.

I agree.. bechara Younus!! He has to do everything himself.. He has to spoon-feed 10 players..This is too much for anyone.
What is for???! issed:

 

[rumman007]

Dont worry guys, wickets go in heaps in this match , after tea u will see the biggest heap and match would be over

Hope you are right .I've wasted the whole night following this collapse.

 

[desidudecool]

What is for???! issed:

What if Yunus had not played the reverse sweep, Pakistan 390 for 1?

 

[MIG]

YK should throw the ball to Fawad - he can do no wrong in this match !

 

[muhammad.kamran]

last session....last hope

 

[desidudecool]

games not over yet

 

[pakcricketfan]

What if Yunus had not played the reverse sweep, Pakistan 390 for 1?

yes. Now lets just start blaming YK for everything.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Another Do or die situation for Pakistan.. Lets hope we can rise to the occassion.

 

[pakistanbest]

129 to win and for us to lost our first ever test series we need a 05 Multan here

4 runs now

 

[pakistanbest]

YK is over attacking, need 3rd man.

harper doesn't give it...fukin hell........suprise suprise, that was out i feel

 

[pakcricketfan]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Uzi]

Pakistan need Sri Lanka to collapse Pakistani style.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

whatever we say about Pakistai Team....they will remain the same.....they changed captains.....they cahnged coaches......they changed the PCB management....they changed payers......one thing that they needed to change(their non-professional attitude towards the game) they never changed......

 

[desidudecool]

is this harper or hair?

 

[muhammad.kamran]

that was out but umpire.......huh

 

[Khabri420]

is this harper or hair?

harper

 

[pakcricketfan]

is this harper or hair?

Hair in Harper's disguise?

 

[pakistanbest]

is this harper or hair?

think they come from the same mother

 

[cricketpassion]

I think this series is over ...

 

[hasanb]

is this harper or hair?

well he has absolutely no hair at all...so it must be harper

 

[pakcricketfan]

What the hell??????!!! There is seriously something wrong with Harper!!
He was giving OUT to everything that was Not Out during our batting!

 

[pakcricketfan]

Ek tou wese hi wickets nahi mil rahe, upar se umpiring bhi itni zabardast ho rahi hai.
Allah, help us!

 

[Khabri420]

Looks like Harper is pulling another Hair...

 

[pakistanbest]

120 runs to win, umpire harper has done us over but at the end of the day, it was our won fault, batting was shocking and horrific!

 

[cricketpassion]

Ek tou wese hi wickets nahi mil rahe, upar se umpiring bhi itni zabardast ho rahi hai.
Allah, help us!

Thats the only thing we can rely on .help from heavens

 

[Muhammad]

Thats the only thing we can rely on .help from heavens

Isn't it monsoon season? Why is everything conspiring against us?
