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

[GLORY OF '92]

Yeah we were about 30-40 runs short. Spinners need to win us the game.

 

[MIG]

Spinners need to come in now.

 

[coca-cola]

Well, i think younis khan should bring himself along, give the spinners two couple over spells to slow things down . and then bring on the part timers to try to break the partnership.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Afridi comes in, yk takes the PP

 

[ahmed16]

Afridi...da man.

 

[coca-cola]

boom boom on.

 

[coca-cola]

this is disgusting

 

[Khabri420]

Add poor fielding on top of that

 

[Oxy]

Eng v Aus Day 5 starts in 25 mins

 

[Yossarian]

Younus might be a nice guy - but he's thick!
Why take the 2nd play straight away when these 2 are playing so well? Why not wait for a wicket to go down first?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

now we need a fielding coach too

 

[Afridi_Fan]

73/o after 11

 

[coca-cola]

i thought we might win...

 

[ahmed16]

I though Rana was bald.

 

[iafzal]

we are in trouble.
Pak and YK got it wrong they should have attacked instead they are trying to defend this total

 

[the true passionist]

why are we always bent upon taking the PPlay straight away? Can't it wait for 5 overs?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i thought we might win...

and the hopes are starting to fade

 

[Yossarian]

why are we always bent upon taking the PPlay straight away? Can't it wait for 5 overs?

'cause that's what they read in the story books!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I though Rana was bald.

Ye hair transplacement ka kamal hai

 

[Savak]

When things go wrong, it becomes so priceless to do just one thing right. This tour has been completely disasterous for Pakistan on every level. Both teams were evenly matched on this tour but Pakistan for most part have played pathetic cricket in every department of the game. You might as well call the team home now because the result is just a foregone conclusion.

I really hope that this is the last of Misbah for sure and that Malik, Akmal are put on a warning list. Our bowling hasnt been special on this tour either, we lack an all out 90 mph plus bowler. There is nothing inspiring about this Pakistani team at the moment.

yes this match will be over till than )

 

[coca-cola]

and the hopes are starting to fade

i didnt lose any hopes, just 5 hours of sleep. i wonder why rana unlce didnt open the bowling?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

good over only 2 from it.

 

[LG]

Pak and YK got it wrong they should have attacked instead they are trying to defend this total

this sounds like a Waqar special :younis

 

[coca-cola]

good over by naved-rana-ul hasan

 

[ahmed16]

Younus might be a nice guy - but he's thick!
Why take the 2nd play straight away when these 2 are playing so well? Why not wait for a wicket to go down first?

Because he is afraid he might not get there wicket....and he doesnt want to do a Lara...remember 2007 World Cup.

 

[Momo]

I though Rana was bald.

No, he is just bad.
(kidding)

 

[undisputed]

I said we should have had a lot more, this was undisputed's response:



since you're not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed by a long margin, let me break it down...was it not for the fantastic cameos by Razz and Rana, we would have not even made 250, considering the retarded way 6 of our batsmen got out...and as for the pitch, was an absolute belter, and 300 is a minimum on that

Now you know mate why i ignored your 320 statement because the way pakistan are bowling they woudn't of even defended 350. cricket is about bowling AND batting, you cant win the game with one inning's, regardless of the total you post if you dont bowl well you won't defend it, and same with bowling if you bowl the team out for a low score and bat poorly you won't make it either!

 

[iafzal]

In cricinfo

Azmat Siddiqui: "To Srikanth: Gul was not fit. He has problem with one of his ankles. It was reported in Pakistani papers this morning."

 

[ahmed16]

good over by naved-rana-ul hasan

Rana Naved Ul Hasan.

 

[insaftak]

all pressure released again

 

[cricketpassion]

Is gul not playing due to injury ?

 

[coca-cola]

No, he is just bad.
(kidding)

)

 

[undisputed]

if these 2 cross, 100 without loosing a wicket i think they have won this game.

 

[coca-cola]

fawad alam is a fab fielder!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

81/0 after 13

 

[Afridi_Fan]

what*****************************

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Boundary every over. Need 2 wickets very quickly.

 

[cricketpassion]

Every over one four , whats going on .

Imagine if pakistan was chasing this total ......

 

[coca-cola]

Every over one four , whats going on .

Imagine if pakistan was chasing this total ......

we would have been all out before i could have started to imagine

 

[GLORY OF '92]

No luck for us...

 

[coca-cola]

Glory of 92 welcome to Nuisance of 2009

 

[Afridi_Fan]

luck, luck, luck

Sadly when our batting strikes, our bowling falters. Or vice versa. We just haven't been able to get both.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to dry up the runs some how and best way would be a wicket or two!

 

[Mercenary]

Captain Fantastic not setting attacking fields and thinks he can contain Sri Lanka because the score is ungettable. Someone needs to tell him this isnt like the pitches from the last two games.

 

[insaftak]

crap fielding continues too, this is torture

 

[cricketpassion]

luck, luck, luck

where is our luck ?

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I get the feeling that Pak is missing Gul.

 

[insaftak]

HAHAHAHAH 6666666666666666666666666666666666, game over

 

[Oxy]

Boom Boom...

 

[LG]

how did that miss off stump??

 

[coca-cola]

why does ramiz say pakeeeez taneeez?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just checked the score on cricinfo and it seems like they won't have much trouble getting there.

 

[coca-cola]

big six.

 

[Yossarian]

Pakistan need to dry up the runs some how and best way would be a wicket or two!

or not take the 2nd PowerPlay when the 2 openers are whacking everything to the boundary!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We are getting shafted. Poor batting by us not getting 320+.

 

[MIG]

Dear PPers:

Let me assure you that the best minds in PCB are now looking at this problem. There is nothing to worry about - remember pain is temporary, suffering is forever.

Ijaz Butt.

end of powerplays hasn't stopped anything

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Everyone getting belted today

 

[the true passionist]

Ajmal/Malik might get some spin.

[insaftak]

dropped

 

[Oxy]

Akmal drops it???

 

[Amoeba]

We are getting shafted. Poor batting by us not getting 320+.

Yes it is always the batters' fault. Never the bowler's who dish up such canteen rubbish........................

 

[MIG]

Ramiz's vocab must be in overdrive now...

 

[coca-cola]

dry the runs, put runrate near 7 then get a wicket

 

[Uzi]

So finally, the batting clicked today and it is the usually dependable bowling that is letting us down.

If we bowl well, our batting then sucks.

If we bat well, our bowling sucks.

 

[coca-cola]

good over!

 

[MIG]

dry the runs, put runrate near 7 then get a wicket

By Jove, you have a point there...

 

[coca-cola]

Akmal drops it???

surprise surprise

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The batting and bowling can't just click together in 1 game

 

[coca-cola]

By Jove, you have a point there...

the sarcasm is evident.

 

[undisputed]

it's over boys.

 

[coca-cola]

big appeal! that looked plumb

 

[Khabri420]

Sri Lanka very lucky here.

Sanga (after Dhoni) must be the luckiest captain everything he's done has worked

 

[iZeeshan]

Game over.

I hate dead rubber ODIS!

 

[MIG]

the sarcasm is evident.

Just joking

 

[Amoeba]

Sri Lanka very lucky here.

Sanga (after Dhoni) must be the luckiest captain everything he's done has worked

Lucky or just plain good?

 

[coca-cola]

im sure inti will now blame the batting for the the loss!
