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

[Shakil_pkcricket]

u do realize that they are not bowling for us

Well.....I think this pitch is surely 300+ considering that if Pakistan was able to recover from 107/4 and score 288....certainly with a decent start it could have easily got 325 to 350....a winnable score...

 

[zulfiqar]

Missing Gul here... IIRC, SL were reversing the ball later in our innings; maybe Gul could have gotten some? I have a feeling Jayawardene is about to get out

 

[IAJ]

Yeah InshaAllah we will win it

Win what?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

What is happening out there? Is it that flat pitch? Did Pakistan bat too slow?
And why is Mahela finding the boundaries so easy. He has a career SR of mid 70s and now he is scoring at 110, must be real poor bowling. I am glad I'm at work and can only follow the score on cricinfo.

Well first of all this pitch is alot better than first 2 ODIs and definately there is poor bowlling as well...

 

[coca-cola]

Win what?

the US open

 

[Khabri420]

Win what?

InshaALLAH we will win a match. Not necessarily this one

 

[coca-cola]

rana uncle bowling well.

 

[Yossarian]

Are we sure those 'undesirables' that were reported being in the hotel, did'nt actually make contact?

 

[HyroProto]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..100 from the overrated player !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FM87]

is ko bhi aaj hi century marni thi...

 

[Serendipity]

100 for JW, well played.

Pak looks out of ideas and below par

 

[pk141947]

this is unbelievable

 

[shane]

rana uncle bowling well.

Spoils it with the last ball. His ODI economy is not nearly 6 for nothing.

 

[Khabri420]

Are we sure those 'undesirables' that were reported being in the hotel, did'nt actually make contact?

Somebody's gonna be rich after this series....

 

[coca-cola]

Somebody's gonna be rich after this series....

Me! i just saved 15% and more by switching my car insurance to GIECO.

 

[MIG]

Are we sure those 'undesirables' that were reported being in the hotel, did'nt actually make contact?

If they had, we would have won.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

congrats to mahela a truly classic batsman.....srilankaaaaa chargeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[PapaBear]

This Yunus Khan is retarded, why is he laughing?

 

[hasanb]

Jayawardene calls for a runner. Guess he has cramped up. Younis, as always, is just smiling. Mathews comes out to run for Jayawardene.

^ That from cricinfo...

nice one younis....

 

[pk141947]

This Yunus Khan is retarded, why is he laughing?

what else is he suppose to do

 

[FM87]

Our fielding is also very pathetic today. Tight fielding compels batsmen to take more risks and they make mistakes.

 

[FM87]

Highest opening partnership in ODIs against Pak. Chalo ye record bhi ban gaya aaj.

 

[HyroProto]

200+ runs partnership !!!!!!!!!! but still tharanga is a sitting duck in a good pitch

 

[IAJ]

A 10-wicket loss will be the total embarrasement!
Maybe end of Intikhab Alam and Younis? You never know with Pakistan cricket.

 

[insaftak]

Outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[hasanb]

this is seriously embarassing

 

[insaftak]

Balle Balle Balle Balle

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Pakistan Batting only clicks on the flat pitches...

Well with SriLankan Chase of the Pakistan's Target (chase still in progress) it is very much evident that this pitch is belter....full of runs...with no support at all for the bowllers...Our Batting only clicks when pitch is flat with no movement at all for the bowllers...

 

[MIG]

Could this be the turning point in the game? If you believe that then I will give you a phainti with size 100 Bata chappal asap!

 

[HyroProto]

what did i say ????????// but he was unlucky to get that.... hit outside offstump

 

[shane]

There goes the 10 wicket win. That was the only reason this game was still worth watching.

 

[JIbranG]

WICKET WICKET !...tharanga thrashed...

 

[insaftak]

Could this be the turning point in the game? If you believe that then I will give you a phainti with size 100 Bata chappal asap!

I believe it, i need some phainti

 

[Wiji]

There's still a sniff of a chance here. It's going to take an AAA special (Afridi, Ajmal, Aamer).

What a brilliant opening partnership though!!

 

[PapaBear]

Good news for Pakistan, Jayawardene cant break Saeed Anwar's record of 192. Sl only needs 84 and he is only 118, ....

 

[hasanb]

i need some phainti

glad you finally realised that

 

[insaftak]

Outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Momo]

Match on!

 

[insaftak]

Balle Balle Balle

 

[IAJ]

Kash we could move the rest of the innings to the pitch used in previous two matches. Even Pakistan can defend 80+ runs in 16 overs on that pitch..

 

[azfar wali]

If we get sanga out now, we could still win

 

[Momo]

Pakistan can win it guys. I think Pakistan will (iA).

 

[insaftak]

glad you finally realised that

not for my stance on NRO, MIlitary Operation or drone attacks, i will fight back if phainti was for my stance on these three

 

[iZeeshan]

There goes Jaya!

COME ON!

 

[Wiji]

Remember guys, SL's batting hasn't exactly been in the best of forms either.

 

[JIbranG]

jayawardene gone!

 

[dani2k]

I have seen this happen time and again. After a big partnership, once one wicket falls, the other protagonist also goes fairly quickly. This has happened again!

 

[hasanb]

not for my stance on NRO, MIlitary Operation or drone attacks, i will fight back if phainti was for my stance on these three

i'll just say its for cricketing reasons then and proceed

but anyway back on topic...lets nip sanga out here, i really want our fielders to give him some real chirp in his ear right now.

 

[FM87]

78 runs in 15 overs.

 

[insaftak]

another one is gone

 

[azfar wali]

outttt

 

[insaftak]

Balle Balle Balle

 

[bluffmasterv2]

another wicket by ajmal

 

[Momo]

Match on!

 

[haroonrasheed320]

3rd wicket

 

[FM87]

3 gone...

 

[insaftak]

we are still in with a chance

 

[Momo]

Sri Lanka to implode (iA)

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

another one is gone

who?

 

[azfar wali]

who?

Sameweera

 

[bluffmasterv2]

who?

sum dude

 

[hasanb]

Samaraweera gone!! come on Pakistan!!

 

[undisputed]

3 down! this is possible

 

[pakistani]

to late

 

[insaftak]

and a chokaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[FM87]

We've been saved from a huge humiliation and embarrassment.

 

[Momo]

Pakistan to win by 3 runs.
(iA)

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I think Srilanka has not taken the batting power play....it will play a decisive role..

 

[insaftak]

direct hit

 

[azfar wali]

Run out chance,

 

[azfar wali]

Not out

 

[Wiji]

Pakistan to win by 3 runs.
(iA)

Good prediction. I think it WILL go down to the wire.

 

[undisputed]

direct hit, not out, but pakistan showing positive energy.

 

[IAJ]

This kandamby guy can be dangerous. I saw one of his innings against India now long ago and he really played well then. But two more wickets here and Pakistan will win InshaAllah

 

[JIbranG]

Sanga still left .... no chances

 

[pakistani]

one more wicket and than game on or else bye bye

 

[undisputed]

oh man, one or 2 more wickets and we will be in big business!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

one more wicket and than game on or else bye bye

specially sanga wicket..

 

[JIbranG]

rite...and aamir better get bck 2 bowlin....

 

[MIG]

Ok all wanting phainti for wondering if we will win this - pls line up here.
