Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Dambulla | 3 Aug 2009 | Pak Innings

[who_dares]

first target achieved

 

[iafzal]

Not much swing yet

different pitch as it seems

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nothing is it then?!

 

[who_dares]

7-0 after 1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok it seems Kami today is on a hit out mission, not bad.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pitch is flat. Need 250+

 

[iafzal]

Kami going too much for shots on overy ball for my liking

 

[who_dares]

nice to see them rotating strikes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is there any free links to watch the game from?!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Damn SKY TV

 

[insaftak]

and nasir goes

 

[saeed-sohail]

kami looks out of touch.

 

[who_dares]

Pitch is flat. Need 250+

wait for 10 overs before demanding 250+, n don't forget its Pak batting first

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nasir Jamshed )

 

[Momo]

Gone.

NJ not good enough.

 

[who_dares]

and nasir goes

nazir in for next match

 

[Momo]

We need Shahzeb Hasan.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Atleast he scored a run

 

[insaftak]

very disappointed with Nasir jamshed

 

[saadjhussain]

here we go again

 

[iZeeshan]

SERIOUSLY? can we ever get a good start? EVER?

 

[the true passionist]

NJ gone. Butt must be warming up for the champions trophy.

 

[who_dares]

yk in so no afridi at no. 3

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Captain walks in.

 

[ShaazE]

Nasir really does suck. Too bad every bowling attack isn't like Zimbabwe or he would have shown his 'class'.

 

[mamoo gogo]

younis khan batting now...time to go to sleep...

 

[insaftak]

what kind of a stupid shot was that by NJ

 

[iafzal]

i know PPer has really hyped this Nasir guy but he is quite a sad story not able to perform on a god pitch. Only against BD I guess

 

[Afridi_Fan]

SERIOUSLY? can we ever get a good start? EVER?

We got 9 on the board much better, hell 9 times better than the last start.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Well that's Nasir Jamshed done and dusted for couple of years.

 

[who_dares]

2nd target achieved

 

[Usman Chadda]

Thats the second time Jamshed has offered catching practice to the Lankan slip fielders. Has he signed some secret deal to be their fielding coach or something?! But the lad needs more chances

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misbah has the highest avg in last 10 ODIs

 

[ShaazE]

Pakistan should bring along Nasir on every tour.... just to give our slip catchers some practice.

 

[Raz]

Almost a carbon copy of his dismissal from the last match. No foot movement and just was trying to reach for it in the end.

 

[the true passionist]

we just have to go in circles to find out that Butt is the best out of our pathetic bunch of openers.

 

[Momo]

Well that's Nasir Jamshed done and dusted for couple of years.

I think it's great. Shahzeb Hasan is coming!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nazir on screen, he looks angry and hungry.

 

[Momo]

Nazir, Shahzeb, and Akmal are our best top three.

Afridi as the floater.

 

[iZeeshan]

Nazir in next ODI please.

 

[the true passionist]

This is a much easier pitch. At least 250 is required for a challenging target.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Aaj lagta hai Kula ki khair nahi

 

[Sheikh]

Very disappointing from Nasir, just dabbing impotently at the ball. Real pity, as a couple of good knocks would have ensured him a run. As it stands, he's likely to sit out the rest of the series, and deservedly so.

 

[Raz]

we just have to go in circles to find out that Butt is the best out of our pathetic bunch of openers.

Imran Nazir and then Nasir Jamshed are the best out of the lot from the ones I have seen. They need to be played, both of them and given confidence.

 

[who_dares]

14-1 after 3

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is a much easier pitch. At least 250 is required for a challenging target.

Too soon to assume any target.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nazir in next ODI please.

I hope not, specially if we lose this. This is very shoddy treatment as far as I see it, very disappointing from YK

 

[Raz]

Nazir, Shahzeb, and Akmal are our best top three.

Afridi as the floater.

No shortage of violence then?

 

[iafzal]

why Pak batsman do not leave balls that are too wide. They seemed to be trying to play every ball.
too risky

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now we are making this marinda look like a World Class bowler ( I know its Mirando)

 

[Momo]

No shortage of violence then?

Exactly!
:iamlegend

 

[who_dares]

17-1 after 4

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No shortage of violence then?

And thats what we want, Violance to get out of this current mess.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Well YK seems to be getting the singles today so far.

 

[the true passionist]

Imran Nazir and then Nasir Jamshed are the best out of the lot from the ones I have seen. They need to be played, both of them and given confidence.

I have not seen Nazir recently but i doubt that he has improved his technique since he last played for Pakistan. He has played 70+ matches, even more that Salman Butt.

He may be good for T20 but absolutely not good enough for ODIs. He is a hit and miss player. Afridi will do a better job opening the innings than Nazir.

 

[godzilla]

for those watching live - any idea how fast these lankan openers bowl? commentary frequently mentions seam up deliveries, were none of the pakistani bowlers bowling seam up in the last two matches?

 

[who_dares]

nearly gone

 

[IAJ]

Lucky there akmal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just cleared the man in the cover.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I have not seen Nazir recently but i doubt that he has improved his technique since he last played for Pakistan. He has played 70+ matches, even more that Salman Butt.

He may be good for T20 but absolutely not good enough for ODIs. He is a hit and miss player. Afridi will do a better job opening the innings than Nazir.

Imran Nazir's technique is fine. Its his temperament thats the problem. And we won't know if its improved or not if we don't play him

 

[Imy]

This team has no tail ( on paper) except Saaed

 

[who_dares]

22-1 after 5

 

[Deewana Mastana]

22 for 1 after 5

completely agree - well said.

 

[z2_daredevil]

YOu want Nasir to be dropped after ONE game? What kind of a message does that send to hiM!?

[IAJ]

[saeed-sohail]

[abdulqadir786]

if we loose its gonna suck!!

 

[godzilla]

125-132kph range

thank you sir.

dont we usually lose another wicket about now?

 

[who_dares]

26/1 after 6

 

[Deewana Mastana]

26 for 1

 

[the true passionist]

Imran Nazir's technique is fine. Its his temperament thats the problem. And we won't know if its improved or not if we don't play him

1- His technique is not fine; he is absolutely horrible against the incoming delivery.

2- The place to judge his temperament is not international cricket but domestic/A-level cricket. Just as we did with Fawad/Umar Akmal.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Life badi kutti cheez hai - Kaminey

 

[z2_daredevil]

we perform the best when we r pushed to the limit
mark my words we ll play good today and
WE WILL WIN !!!

 

[who_dares]

thank you sir.

dont we usually lose another wicket about now?

be patience its comming

 

[IAJ]

Akmal is in form, nice pull

 

[insaftak]

What a sHOTTTTTTTTTTT< AKMAL
