[Deewana Mastana]

Cricinfo says still 9 overs to go

 

[Afridi_Fan]

71/0

 

[Waseem]

End of 4 overs, new ball due, Lankans will gladly take it.

 

[insaftak]

waqar younis " pakistan hasn't collapsed yet because the ball hasn't been changed yet"

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak 5 for 0 after 4 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

waqar younis " pakistan hasn't collapsed yet because the ball hasn't been changed yet"

lol yeah!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

New ball taken by SL

 

[pak4life]

They can not be serious!!

 

[Waseem]

There you go, ball being inspected.

 

[FM87]

Will we witness another spectacular Pakistan batting collapse in this inning?

 

[insaftak]

oh my god, umpires are checking the ball again

 

[cricketpassion]

waqar younis " pakistan hasn't collapsed yet because the ball hasn't been changed yet"

Thank you .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice shot down the ground by Manzoor for 2

 

[slix10]

Ha so predictable.

We will do it as well when they're batting.

 

[pak4life]

Does anyone know where these balls are made?

 

[FM87]

And why are they still playing? Its already after 5pm in SL.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak 8 for 0 after 5 overs

8 overs to go before stumps on Day 2

 

[muhammad.kamran]

It is Test format. Care to read that definition in wikipedia?

test match.....??????????????? Pakistan dont know it as their collapse suggest.... i think they have a time set in their mind to get out...so runs scored before that time that is what i am talking about malik sahab.....

 

[Uzi]

Umpires got together, they asked each other why is this ball not getting the Pak batsmen out.

They probably just cursed the ball or something.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And why are they still playing? Its already after 5pm in SL.

Its 5:15 there and yesterday I think they finished at 5:30!

 

[insaftak]

ball changed

 

[ItsMeK1]

and the ball is changed .. expect the collapse

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and they are changing the ball again

 

[insaftak]

what the hell is wrong with these balls

 

[Khabri420]

this is ridiculous....crappy balls

 

[muhammad.kamran]

74/0 so sri lanka will get a target of 75 atleast

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just went into the air but safe and Alam gets 1 run for it

 

[Waseem]

Ball changed now, this is just ridiculous.
People think it's just an excuse but how is it fair?? Ball loses some shine after 4-5 overs and Lankan get that changed to try their luck again.

As i talk Alam almost out.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Almost the changed ball worked

 

[muhammad.kamran]

target of atleast 76 now

 

[slix10]

Oh god.

Here we go again.

I swear.

10 more minutes come on boys.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

this is ridiculous....crappy balls

2 numbri!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

OMG Waqar comparing Tushara with Wasim Akram

 

[Oxy]

And this ball is talking!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Big shout of LBW by Thushara and co. Taufel says NOT OUT

Manzoor shouldering his arms to that one!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

75/0

 

[Oxy]

OMG Waqar comparing Tushara with Wasim Akram

Unless they both smoke or have an irrational love of Indian cricket, I dont see any similarities...

 

[Inswinger]

Inti is on to something.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jayawardene's expressions of "I CANT BELEIVE IT!" LOL!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sanath Jayasuriya is around in the park!

 

[cricwiz]

An irnoic stat about Vaas

Chaminda Vaas has not opened the bowling today for SriLanka..

If I am not wrong, he has opened the bowling for Srilanka whenever he has played, till his last Test innings.

If thats true, than its quite an ironic stat...

 

[Zaz]

Chaminda Vaas has not opened the bowling today for SriLanka..

If I am not wrong, he has opened the bowling for Srilanka whenever he has played, till his last Test innings.

If thats true, than its quite an ironic stat...

Im sure there have been instances in past

Just goes to show he aint what he was and this newer brigade after all have done the job on pakistan

 

[muhammad.kamran]

yes...we got another.....target of atleast 77 now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

7 more mins for these 2 to survive!

 

[Amjid Javed]

The ball change issue has gone beyond a joke now and ICC need to do something about it!

 

[MIG]

76/0 Pakistan...

 

[muhammad.kamran]

what is Alam doing and thinking

 

[insaftak]

wow, that was close, what is fawad doing

 

[slix10]

I wouldn't be surprised if the ball is "mysteriously displaced" and they have to use a new one tomorrow.

This should be the last over.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

11 and target of atleast 78

 

[Sheikh]

yes...we got another.....target of atleast 77 now

Keep trolling mate. Enjoy your time while it lasts.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

8 overs gone

77/0

 

[muhammad.kamran]

herath comes

 

[Khabri420]

Herath to bowl the last over

 

[insaftak]

herat to bowl last over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Rangeela comes in.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

Keep trolling mate. Enjoy your time while it lasts.

yes brother i am....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4444444444444444444444

 

[muhammad.kamran]

into nervous 80s pakistan team..... nearing "85"

 

[muhammad.kamran]

collapse time....

 

[Khabri420]

Manzoor gone!

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Poor shot

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 wicket down 9 to go

 

[Afridi_Fan]

rangeela strikes

 

[insaftak]

hahahahah @ manzoor

 

[ItsMeK1]

manzoor out

 

[Sparhawk]

Manzoor goes.. not really surprised with his technique. Thats no way to get out for an opener.

 

[Sheikh]

Mediocre Manzoor, that should be his name. Herath really is average; all he has is the arm ball.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

manzoor was too defensive/negative in this knock. Fawad had the better attitude and that's why he's still there.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

should i complete my century today or not????

 

[ItsMeK1]

this should have been stump for the day

 

[Oxy]

What joke - Manzoor needs to be fined

 

[FM87]

why didn't sent any nightwatchman to open and now yunus has come to bat.

 

[MIG]

82/1 I suppose.

 

[pak4life]

Is that the last we see of Manzoor? Hopefully

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see pakistan been bowled out for 130 and sri Lanka chasing down 200 5 wickets down!

 

[Majid Khan]

2 painstaking runs from 28 balls, Manzoor makes Atherton look like a Twenty20 player.

 

[muhammad.kamran]

manzoor was too defensive/negative in this knock. Fawad had the better attitude and that's why he's still there.

Fawad also tried to get out twice or thrice but he is lucky....

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good strike by lanka.

 

[ItsMeK1]

what was Sanga referring to by saying "All excuses buddy ... all excuses"
