Sri Lanka v Pakistan| 3rd Test - Day 4 | Colombo | 23/07/09

[Khabri420]

Kaneria now tackling as well

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They should've gone up for that one aswell!

 

[insaftak]

good bowling by spinners

 

[Deewana Mastana]

maiden by Ajmal

 

[insaftak]

They should've gone up for that one aswell!

lol, the way umpires have been giving wrong decisions, maybe they should have

 

[insaftak]

40% chance of rain tomorrow

 

[Sparhawk]

40% chance of rain tomorrow

thats too high

 

[saeed-sohail]

ajmal is bowling way better then danish.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ajmal keeping it tight, Kaneria needs to stick to basics here whilst bowling at other end.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Well....Danish is our Strike Bowller and Ajmal can contain the runs on the other hand....

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

We should also give Alam the chance to throw his arm.....he may be effective as Herath has taken alot of wickets....

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Well should take atleast 4 wickets today.....

 

[afridi.rocks]

SL
109-1
383 to win

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I think this is the best spin attack Pakistan has after Saqi and Mushi.....

 

[Sparhawk]

ajmal is bowling way better then danish.

As he did in the first innings. Unlucky not to get more wickets.

 

[Genghis]

I think this is the best spin attack Pakistan has after Saqi and Mushi.....

I disagree. I think Afridi here would have been a handful and I hope he is selected for the test series against Australia.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

come on dani boy.....keep it up......take another 5 for and prove your critics wrong.....

 

[afridi.rocks]

SL
111-1

[Shakil_pkcricket]

We have not seen a quality left arm spinner coming for Pakistan for a long time.....isn't it amazing......

 

[CoverDrive]

We have not seen a quality left arm spinner coming for Pakistan for a long time.....isn't it amazing......

Even when we had one, we didn't really played in the team that much (iqbal Qasim)

 

[Xoib]

Kaneria back to showing his aukaat.

SL

[afridi.rocks]

Replace Kaneria for Fawad Alam

[afridi.rocks]

41 runs per wicket

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Even when we had one, we didn't really played in the team that much (iqbal Qasim)

Well. in my opinion we should also look for any quality left armers in the domestic circuit....if any...then they should be groomed at the Academy.....

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Kaneria back to showing his aukaat.

Give him time guys.....on this pitch you can only get wicket when you force the batsman to make a mistake...

 

[muhammad.kamran]

good positive cricket by SL

 

[afridi.rocks]

my stream is gone

 

[hasanb]

this is beginning to worry me now...somehow this pitch has gotten extremely easier to bat on rather than the other way round! I sincerely hope SL dont pull this off...they are looking dangerous.

 

[afridi.rocks]

PTV is showing it live?
Thats what the channel logo is on my stream

 

[McBoom]

Aamer should be given a go at Sangakara. He has troubled him all the series.

If can score 46 what did you expect.

 

[insaftak]

out

 

[insaftak]

good catch by fawad alam, this guy is such a great fielder

 

[bluffmasterv2]

right when i wake up, wicket falls

 

[Khabri420]

Malik picks up a wicket. Well taken by Fawad.

 

[insaftak]

need another wicket today

 

[insaftak]

what a catch by fawad

 

[siccric]

Malik for Motm!

 

[muhammad.kamran]

collapse time

 

[Amoeba]

No SL batsman has scored a century in this series. One of them will need to if they are to win this one.

 

[hasanb]

fawad is seriously a very good fielder, maybe im going a bit over the top here...but from what I have seen of him so far, he can easily rank and compete amongst the worlds best fieders out there at the minute.

Certainly our teams best fielder by a country mile in any case!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Get in - good wicket for Malik, nice catch from Fawad

SL 142-2

Sangakarra 32*
Jaywardene 0*

SL require another 350 runs

 

[Amoeba]

Certainly our teams best fielder by a country mile in any case!

Don't damm him with faint praise. It's like saying Emma Bunton was the prettiest Spice Girl.

Not much competition really.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

20 mins to go another 1 or even 2 will be really good!

 

[cricketpassion]

7 more wickets Please

 

[muhammad.kamran]

ajmal should have tried to catch that one....not sure what he had in his mind..

Akmal holds on to it - barely!

 

[insaftak]

[Khabri420]

Danny loves bowling at right handers, looks a lot more comfortable too

 

[Oxy]

Top catch by Akmal!

 

[IMMY69]

Top catch by Akmal!

doing just enough to keep his place!!!

 

[Muhammad]

Well bowled Dani boy, and congrats to Akmal, the shock on his face tells a story!

 

[Amoeba]

Despite Akmal's best efforts he manages to hold onto the catch.
Dani boy surely can't believe it.................

 

[Sheikh]

Big one there. These two are vital for the Lankans now.

What's the latest on Dilshan? I'm guessing he'll bat but was he out on the field? What position will he bat?

I think IF he comes in, it'll be at number eleven, at least that's the impression the commentators were giving

 

[hasanb]

I wouldve settled for 3 down at the end of this day, but now that we've got that....can we nip another one out?

 

[insaftak]

just short of manzoor

 

[Amjid Javed]

One more wicket here would be great for pakistan. 3 down and 7 to go.

Still alot of hard work to go!
