Sri Lanka v Pakistan| 3rd Test - Day 3 | Colombo | 22/07/09

[Shakil_pkcricket]

We badly need review system.... thanks we didn't play so many test matches...otherwise we would have lost majority of them just bcz of blind umpiring.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kula is getting the ball to swing

 

[muhammad.kamran]

another wicket for umpires....umpires are on fire in this series when Pakistan is batting....

what drama...these umpires should be fined...

There was a lot of doubt there. He was struck high on the pads, and there could also have been an inside edge. We'll need a replay to confirm the latter. Yes, there was an inside edge! Gould doesn't get it right. Younis unlucky.
24.2
Kulasekara to Younis Khan, OUT, darted back in from a good length outside off, that's his trademark delivery, came forward to push it into the leg side, was beaten by the movement and was struck in line but fairly high on the pads, he was disappointed when Gould raised his finger
Younis Khan lbw b Kulasekara 19 (48b 3x4 0x6) SR: 39.58

 

[insaftak]

what the hell was that misbah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nicely swept for 4 by Moyo

 

[Sheikh]

RR of about 2 and a quarter. Not good enough, we need to be more positive.

 

[insaftak]

4444444444, for MOYO

 

[Sheikh]

From 1st Oct 2009

So this is our last test without referrals then. Thank goodness.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Misbah's scores in this series: 56, 7, 0 ,3, 27
95 runs @ 19.00

He better make some amends today for his poor show in this series.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Quite an attacking field for Herath

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 for Misbah

 

[Khabri420]

Pak 130/3

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Correcrion : Byes it was

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

So this is our last test without referrals then. Thank goodness.

Yes,.....not only review system but we have to seriously reconsider our collapse making art in the middle order batting to win any test match.....

 

[Sheikh]

130/3

 

[insaftak]

we need to start scoring

 

[Random Aussie]

Who appoints these guys in the elite panel

The vast majority of them are no good. But it gets political as each country appoints their own - so there is politicking to get on the panel - and because the pay is really good, travel the world etc it is hard for them to retire even when past their best.

One thing this series has proved again - it is very hard to beat Sri Lanka at home.

 

[Sheikh]

Yes,.....not only review system but we have to seriously reconsider our collapse making art in the middle order batting to win any test match.....

That's easily corrected by adding some steel into the middle order.

Solution: Dump Misbah/Malik and have Alam in at 5.

 

[MIG]

Another 100+ needed for some feeling of safety.

 

[insaftak]

Misbah is clueless out there and i won't be shocked if he gets out soon

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rameez talking some sense about the need for Misbah to show some intent or atleast rotate the strike

 

[Sheikh]

Misbah looks very scratchy. He's playing a survival game. Don't think he'll win.

 

[insaftak]

pressure is on Pakistan,

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maidens seem to be flowing now

 

[Sheikh]

Herath and Kulu have combined figures of: 20-8-27-2

 

[iZeeshan]

Pathetic batting from Pakistan.

 

[insaftak]

someone is going to get out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar also saying they have gone into block mode

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Waqar also saying they have gone into block mode

It's stupid to go into a block mode even when we have a lead. For how long can you block before you will eventually get out?

 

[slix10]

Misbah will be finally settled after 18432 balls.

After that he will go for a run, and get out.

 

[Khabri420]

No run for four overs

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

I'm not against Misbah, he's probably going through a bad phase...although, 3 runs from 22 balls is absolutely pathetic; if he doesn't rotate the strike, I won't be surprised that he will get out quickly...

 

[Khabri420]

Moyo gone

 

[cricketpassion]

yousef gone

 

[waqar_ahmad]

moyo gone.

 

[insaftak]

someone is going to get out

MOYO gone, told u so

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Yk got out, and the runs just stopped.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There you go then Moyo gone Pressure Pressure

 

[Khabri420]

They need to play babloo a little more aggressively

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

There we go, when you keep blocking, you lose wickets, without making any runs...

 

[tauseefm]

chalo bhaiyoo sonay ka time ho gaya hay.. rub rakha pakistan ka

 

[ataullah]

pak r too negative.

 

[cricketpassion]

Another failure for yousef under pressure

 

[Imy]

pakistan cant block as after shoaib nobody can even survive 5 balls

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is this the one to trigger a collapse?!

 

[insaftak]

i'm nervous again

 

[waqar_ahmad]

pakistan cant block as after shoaib nobody can even survive 5 balls

malik cant survive 5 balls either

 

[insaftak]

Is this the one to trigger a collapse?!

if there is another collapse today i will kill someone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wicket maiden by Herath

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Misbah 3 off 22

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vaas on now for the 1st time in the 2nd innings

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

5 maidens in a row, way to go...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Runs finally!!!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Its collapse time....Malik will hit 2 to 3 boundaries and go may be caught behind of lbw...........Misbah will perish defending all the time....

 

[insaftak]

3 more

 

[the Great Khan]

And here it comes..only our lovely middle order can turn a position of strength into one of weakness..

Can the cheertah make more than 30 today??

 

[offcutter]

Can we make it to 200...please...

 

[MIG]

I think we will be fine here as long as Malik doesnt hit a six.

 

[azfar wali]

8 of the over

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Can we make it to 200...please...

Yes if kami plays a responsible knock to save Pakistan and also his Test Spot in the next test series....

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Misbah has doubled his strike rate...from 14 to 29...

 

[Khabri420]

Pak 141/4

 

[waqar_ahmad]

And here it comes..only our lovely middle order can turn a position of strength into one of weakness..

Can the cheertah make more than 30 today??

OUr middle order is just YK. IF he fails, the middle order fails. Today he got a really bad decision
