Sri Lanka v Pakistan| 3rd Test - Day 1 | Colombo | 20/07/09

[Lahoria]

Time for Yousaf to show his class I have feeling he will show up today.

 

[azfar wali]

Comparing Manzoor with Anwar?

Not comparing them just saying that even the best can have a bad start to their career so we need to give Manzoor more time before saying he is no good.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Can we go past 90?

)

I hate to say this but I am finding it very amusing.

 

[PapaBear]

i am off to bed

 

[azfar wali]

InshaAllah Yousaf will make a double century

 

[muhammad.kamran]

now let us start to play on PP to enjoy.... let us predict Pakistan's first innings total. pakistan team total less than 150.....

 

[Imy]

one batsmen left and then have the tail

 

[Khabri420]

oh boy...somethings never change

 

[Afridi_Fan]

God can they bat till the Man United Pre-season game?

 

[PapaBear]

Yeah, last recongnised batsman in... )

 

[azfar wali]

now let us start to play on PP to enjoy.... let us predict Pakistan's first innings total. pakistan team total less than 150.....

I think pakistan will InshaAllah make at least 320

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4 byes.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yeah, last recongnised batsman in... )

) so true, we cant count on Mibah and Malik. But then we have Akmal.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Fawad looks dehydrated.poor Chap.

 

[darkmoon459]

Some things never change ,and Our Batting seems to be The One.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

I think pakistan will InshaAllah make at least 320

both innings' total summed up......i m just asking about the total of 1st innings

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is this Kulasekra for reaal, I mean how can you continue to bowl that much inswing on a regular basis?

 

[lalaji]

Not comparing them just saying that even the best can have a bad start to their career so we need to give Manzoor more time before saying he is no good.

so what if you compare?

i m not saying you are but even if you do, that's your opinion...thats all..

 

[PapaBear]

Do u think the tail will wag past 90 ?

 

[azfar wali]

both innings' total summed up......i m just asking about the total of 1st innings

)
Come on have faith Pakistan can still make 320 we have most of our batting left if we don't collapse we will get close to 300

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and the terrifying news is, still the Tormentor herath hasn't bowled.

 

[jusarrived]

Manzoor actually looks a decent opener , pak need to persist with him

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misbah is ready to get out soon

 

[Afridi_Fan]

42/2

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Kulasekara to Khurram Manzoor, no run, landed well outside off and moved back in to just miss off, but Yousuf, with all his experience, had his stumps well covered while letting it go.

 

[PapaBear]

No matter what we think, wish or desire; better team would win

 

[muhammad.kamran]

)
Come on have faith Pakistan can still make 320 we have most of our batting left if we don't collapse we will get close to 300

well......if collapse does not happen then every team can get to big totals....... i m a big fan of Pak cricket but their(Pak Cricket Team) performance in last two games has made me think so..... and now i am just enjoying this match as a cricket fan and not as a Pak cricket fan, hence i want this match to finish as early as in three days(at most)......

 

[PapaBear]

I dont like his (Khurram's) defensive stroke, he falls over and goes to off side and hopes that bat will meet the ball leaving his stumps exposed

 

[PapaBear]

This music is so annoying during a collapse

 

[Afridi_Fan]

46/2

 

[azfar wali]

46/2

 

[PapaBear]

Collapse avoided, partnership worth 10 runs...

 

[muhammad.kamran]

Collapse avoided, partnership worth 10 runs...

collapse delayed )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

shot by MoYo44444444444444444

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 up

 

[PapaBear]

Who was asking for a 5 test series for Pakistan? 3 day tests and 2 test series are fine for me, enough humiliation,

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50/2

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Oh No Herath comes in.

 

[PapaBear]

no no no Herat is here Yousuf watch out!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

My God what a ball to start

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Herath now will bowl to MoYo

 

[PapaBear]

Pakistani batsman acknowledges Herat for a perfect delivery, I wont do it, praising the delivery puts u in a negative -ve frame of mind.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

52/2

 

[PapaBear]

Who wants to predict Test match score by tomorrow this time? hazard a guess!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There is no urgency in running what so ever.

 

[PapaBear]

I wanted to go to bed, but there is this faint hope ,,veery verry faint hope may be may be they would do it this time.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3 more to MoYo

 

[pakcricketfan]

Yesterday, YK was saying that Yousuf had been doing lot of batting practise against left arm spinner in the last few days..

[pakistanbest]

103-2 Lunch, Good Session!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This was not that bad session after all.After being put in, if you score 100+ and only lose 2 wickets you have done pretty well.

 

[Khabri420]

I was, I was but I had this faint hope......always hoping against all odds.

Good to see PapaBear...and its lunch - you enjoy your honey

 

[bluffmasterv2]

hopefully no floodgates in this match for once

 

[spectator]

I wanted to go to bed, but there is this faint hope ,,veery verry faint hope may be may be they would do it this time.

what if they do it this time. next 3 times they will again disappoint you. Better to take rest bro

 

[pakcricketfan]

This was not that bad session after all.After being put in, if you score 100+ and only lose 2 wickets you have done pretty well.

...and if you are PAKISTAN, then you've done exceptionally well.
