Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | August 30, 2014 | Dambulla | Pakistan Innings

[Zeshan547]

And we Pak fans expect this "phatu" batting line up to win the world cup next year. We Pak fans have really gone mad.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Man, that three drives now

 

[Justcrazy]

Wow Pakistan might waste 10 overs with nothing on the board )

They will loose another wicket

 

[iRfaN_LA]

lol 6 runs in 5 overs on a flat pitch.

 

[Aman]

Say what you like, Pakistan need to drop Shehzad.

Man is not up to international level.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

LOL at Shehzad trying to take the shine off the new ball.

On these types of pitches the best time to bat is against the new ball!

 

[Fastandfurious]

1.2 runs per over.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

6 in 5 overs..hhahahhhahaha

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Sharjeel as expected proved me right and we had a thread about Sharjeel is like Matthew Hayden ) ROFL

you are kidding

 

[Madplayer]

what was the need to bat first on this seaming pitch? sometimes i wonder whether the team management really does any research before taking a decision.

 

[Aman]

Maiden. lol.

 

[PB]

Lol, relax guys... It's only been 5 overs, look at the bright side.

We still have 45 more.

 

[Mr Consistent]

another maiden over

 

[Silly Point]

Holy hell. Are they playing a test? Just use your feet if you're so scared of a moving ball at 130 km/hr on a dead pitch. In fact, just retire if that scares you. Shehzad's strike rate has been nosediving since his debut. It's 6 feet below ground now.

 

[Madplayer]

1 run from last 24 balls.

 

[Aman]

3 of 15 #Misbahtoldmeso

 

[ViciousMachine]

Rubbish batting.... I understand your under pressure, but 6 runs in 5 overs? Absolutely no intent. Brutal.....

 

[iRfaN_LA]

How hard is it to hit the odd boundary?.. 6/1 after 5 overs

they are just looking to survive, score their 20 odd runs and secure their place for the next game. Miss the old time Pakistani flare.

 

[Justcrazy]

6 / 1


5 overs

 

[Mir jibran]

How many Pakistani batsmen do you have who average high 30's at a SR of 80+?

u know our selectors they are just....
I favour umar to bat at 6

 

[Arsal_AK]

What is the world is hafeez doing??

 

[Shafi]

Looks like bad decision batting pitch!!! 70-100 all out in a flat deck

 

[DarkLord]

6-1 in 5 overs, Brilliant Start, Couldn't have been a better start!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

yar tuk pa tuk

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor batting.

 

[Rayyman]

Why are they scared of hitting boundaries?!?!?!!???!?!

 

[Arsal_AK]

That was not a maiden.


I wide.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

wicket coming soon.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

poor start

 

[Mir jibran]

Say what you like, Pakistan need to drop Shehzad.

Man is not up to international level.

he averages 35 n has 5 hundereds

 

[Aman]

Umar should open, he could get Pakistan off to a good start.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Finally run for pak

 

[BlackThunder]

) Pakistan. Don't worry guys Misbah is still to come. I still cannot fathom how some delusional Pak fans like Square Drive think Pakistan can win this upcoming WC.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

444444444444444

 

[aukhan]

Ahmed always starts slow whether he is in form or not.

 

[Aman]

he averages 35 n has 5 hundereds

SR of 70. Useless.

If you're striking at 70, you have to average better than that.

 

[Shafi]

Anything under 270 is a piece of cake for Sri Lanka. Looks like boring one sided match like our women team.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Finally, a 4!!! Good! Time to show some intent!!

 

[Boi]

Shocking how bad Hafeez is looking after that dreamy performance last game. Completely gone into his shell as soon as he sees an inch of movement.

 

[Rayyman]

Finally

 

[Mr Consistent]

first Boundary for Pak

 

[Bilal7]

A mistake playing Sharjeel. Now he's going to be dead-weight for the rest of the match. Junaid/Anwar should have played over him.

 

[Madplayer]

poor batting performance so far. but i am expecting hafeez to start accelerating soon.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Finally a .

 

[Aman]

Regardless, that's 5 PP overs wasted by Pakistan.

Pakistans chances of posting 300+ are pretty much done and dusted.

 

[Justcrazy]

After long time

 

[Mr Consistent]

12-1
6 overs

 

[pakistanisgreat]

12

 

[Bilal7]

What are these two doing? Now one of them will succumb to the pressure and everyone else will get tied down as well.

 

[steelo green]

SR of 70. Useless.

If you're striking at 70, you have to average better than that.

This isn't fair. He's averaged much better this year with an SR around 75. This is since the comeback.

 

[Justcrazy]

12 / 1

6 overs

 

[pakistanisgreat]

edge did not carry

 

[Mr Consistent]

o bach Gya

 

[jattafridi]

Pitch is difficult

 

[imshally81]

Lucky Shehzad

 

[pakistanisgreat]

2222222222

 

[ViciousMachine]

A mistake playing Sharjeel. Now he's going to be dead-weight for the rest of the match. Junaid/Anwar should have played over him.

Would you have considered Anwar Ali instead? That would have been my pick. If Pakistan is worried about the "batting". Anwar Ali is a half decent batsman.

 

[Arsal_AK]

SR of 70. Useless.

If you're striking at 70, you have to average better than that.

A SR of 80 with an average of over 45 since the SA series.Good enough??
3 tons too.

 

[Shafi]

PCB should arrange match between our Women and men team. It would be very competetive.

 

[Mr Consistent]

2 runs for shahzad

 

[Mir jibran]

SR of 70. Useless.

If you're striking at 70, you have to average better than that.

he ll improve it he's just 22

 

[imshally81]

Pitch is difficult

it will be easy... when SL will bat...

 

[Afridi96]

Double our runs in 1 over, decent

 

[jattafridi]

Maybe after 15 overs easy for batting

 

[Aman]

This isn't fair. He's averaged much better this year with an SR around 75. This is since the comeback.

It's fair, why do you think many want Cook/Bell to be dropped for England?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

run rate is above 2 now ...good sign

 

[imshally81]

out finally

 

[pakistanisgreat]

outtttttttttttttt

 

[Rayyman]

It better be Misbah next!

 

[Fastandfurious]

Great opener.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[aukhan]

 

[jattafridi]

Please send akmal

 

[thivaakar]

WICKET FOR Kariyawasam Tirana Gamage Dhammika Prasad

 

[Silly Point]

Good riddance. Please drop Shehzad.

 

[Aman]

he ll improve it he's just 22

Boom

 

[Mr Consistent]

shahzad gone

 

[ViciousMachine]

he ll improve it he's just 22

100% agreed. Ahmed is always playing in my final 11 for a long long time into the future.

 

[Aman]

Boom. The hack is gone :ahmed

 

[Madplayer]

what poor batting. gone. absolutely clueless stuff. Pakistan dont look like they will score 150 today.
