Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 3rd Test | July 3-7 | Pallekele | Day 3

[Fineline]

Pak on fire!

 

[Square Drive]

Great bowling!

Adil & Rahat on :AAG

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Bah gawd this is some sick bowling!!!

HATERS - where are you!? Trundler Adil, Rubbish Rahat etc. all gone now?

I am here. I am not fan of Rahat and Ehsan.

 

[Square Drive]

This is Asif & Amir all over again!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pick up wickets quick
. The swing will go out soon.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I am relatively sure Junaid will be back. Pakistan has a v good pace attack nowadays for overseas conditions.

Amir, Wahab, Junaid, Rahat, Ehsan. Looks v good.

 

[Zeshan547]

Only if these two can bowl just 140 plus mean just 10 yard quicker and with amir 145 plus swing and seam and wahab 145 plus bouncers and yorkers and all of them bar adil can reverse it too, we as pak fans will be in for some memorable moments in our next away tours and with spinner like yasir, it will all round package, only if we can find good openers and replacement of two babas i mean yk and misbah we will have good shot to reach top of the test ranking in long run. This bowling line will be mouth watering prospect.

 

[Abdullah719]

Adil needs to add pace. Even on this lively pitch the edges are barely reaching the fielders.

He's bowling faster than Rahat. The slips are too deep. His average pace in the first innings was higher than the other 2. He has improved his pace. Used to be low 130s.

 

[Square Drive]

Please don't change your mind then after they win us this Test. Thanks.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Need to get Lahiru asap.... good batsman.

 

[Square Drive]

Rare bad delivery.

Come on Rahat - 4 slips in there for you now! Excellent captaincy this.

 

[Pete Rose]

Honestly I think they are both very good bowlers. Need to persist. Rahats lines are a lot tighter this innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Test cricket is great.

 

[Square Drive]

Need to get Lahiru asap.... good batsman.

More worried about Tharanga, TBH. Chandi and Lahiru will be taken care of, iA.

 

[Pete Rose]

He's bowling faster than Rahat. The slips are too deep. His average pace in the first innings was higher than the other 2. He has improved his pace. Used to be low 130s.

People are misled by ehsans gentle looking run.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Honestly I think they are both very good bowlers. Need to persist. Rahats lines are a lot tighter this innings.

They are, but Imran Khan is absolute terrible.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Please don't change your mind then after they win us this Test. Thanks.

My opinion is not based on result.

 

[Square Drive]

Time to give Rahat some rest now, so that he can come back for another short spell before lunch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

More worried about Tharanga, TBH. Chandi and Lahiru will be taken care of, iA.

Tharanga LBW....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rahat tiring .. will be his last over.

 

[Square Drive]

My opinion is not based on result.

Lol K, keep hating then.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautifully bowled Rahat.

 

[Fineline]

Need to get Lahiru asap.... good batsman.

Yup!

 

[Square Drive]

Tharanga LBW....

Hopefully...

 

[JibranAnsari]

A lead of 200 will be good enough for pakistan.

 

[Thivagar]

Can someone tell Dean Jones that players don' t practice their batting an hour before the game ?

 

[Man Of Steel]

How is a trundler like Rahat get so much swing

 

[Square Drive]

Time for Imran from the other end. He will enjoy lefties.

 

[Fineline]

Excellent bowling this!

 

[Bullet Drive]

92-2................ Gift.

 

[m.shah]

Almost

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor delivery 4

 

[Zeshan547]

And the great thing is all of these 5 bowlers can bat a bit too and hang around for a while, and even rahat is not one of the worst tailender, he too can atleast defend for long period, as we have seen on few previous occasions. Things shaping up good atleast in bowling department, unless selectors, unseen sudden injuries or these bowlers themselves shoot on their on foot, we will be screwed again.

 

[Square Drive]

Poor delivery.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wasting.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dean Jones so loves Pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a poor delivery
4

Adil back to business as usual.

 

[Square Drive]

Adil looking flat now...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ehsan has lost all pressure this over. Terrible over.

 

[Fineline]

How is a trundler like Rahat get so much swing

He was never a trundler.He even swings the ball on dead roads of UAE.Miles better than Trundler Khan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

10 runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

10 off the over. Pressure slightly off now..

Sri Lanka number 3 lefties tormenting us............

Come on boys. Need 2 more before lunch.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir needs to produce some magic to keep us in the game.

 

[honeybadger]

Hafeez would've been handy right about now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If the fast bowlers get a total of 4 wickets before yasir comes on we win this match

 

[Fineline]

Khan bhai should be brought in.He might get some reverse swing and make life difficult for Sri lanka.I hope so.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope Imran Khan can finally do something good in his test career.

 

[Fineline]

If the fast bowlers get a total of 4 wickets before yasir comes on we win this match

Tough but certainly not impossible.Pak can do anything at anytime.

 

[honeybadger]

Khan bhai should be brought in.He might get some reverse swing and make life difficult for Sri lanka.I hope so.

Reverse swing with 10 over old ball?

 

[JibranAnsari]

If rahat adds inswing to the lefties he can be deadly.

 

[Pete Rose]

They are, but Imran Khan is absolute terrible.

I think Imran is supposed to be, at least in Waqar's mind, a medium pacer like Aaquib Jaaved. A bowler who gives him control over the run rate and squeezes out the odd wicket or two. Let's see how he goes. So far the fast bowlers have learned their lessons vs the first innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez would've been handy right about now.

The old Hafeez. Not the new action one.

 

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez would've been handy right about now.

Not with a clean action.

 

[Fineline]

Dean Jones wants Pak to win.Hopefully,he will get his wish fulfilled.

I think he is the 'reverse swing specialist' but I think he's too slow for that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This over is vital. Rahat will be off after that.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat is a serious bowler.

 

[Fineline]

Reverse swing with 10 over old ball?

Remember Michael Clarke's dismissal?

 

[Square Drive]

Fire!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rain threat looming.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Injured?

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Waqar's luck is running out. Loss in both Test and ODI

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good work rahat putting them under pressure

 

[Bullet Drive]

98-2..

Cant let em settle.

 

[Fineline]

Rain arriving to ruin the party again.Rain hates us!

 

[Bullet Drive]

That Adil over was pretty terrible.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Matthews........ will be key.

 

[Square Drive]

This is just amazing to watch.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I dont know why rahat is so underrated.. I rate him extremely highly

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat needs one to hit the seam and deck back in now.

 

[honeybadger]

Remember Michael Clarke's dismissal?

The ball was 40 over old. He was getting it to reverse throughout, didn't even bother setting Clarke up.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Some inswing to lefties rahat.

 

[Fineline]

Wow!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bowled im

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat you legend.

World class bowling.

 

[Square Drive]

[cricfan967]
