Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 3rd Test | July 3-7 | Pallekele | Day 4

[MRSN]

gone.

 

[Markhor]

For the neutrals this has been a brilliant series. Regardless of the result of this match I've been thoroughly entertained and glued to my TV/Cricinfo.

Excellent series because of sporting pitches. Other countries would do well to learn from Sri Lanka. Too many boards think selfishly in wanting flat phattas that make the match last 5 days for sake of TV revenue and don't realise such pitches are killing Test cricket.

 

[MRSN]

plumb

 

[PCP_1]

Looks out if no bat.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umpire gave it not out. Sound was heard.

DRS don't screw Shaan 3 times in his career.

 

[the Great Khan]

shaan looks out..yaar kya maseebat hay..

 

[Madplayer]

If only we had 50-60 runs more in the 1st innings, we do like to make life harder than it needs to be it but what's done is done.

This would be incredible if we pull this off but we need these two to get big hundreds and for solid partnerships from everyone. Time is not an issue like it was in Sharjah 2014.

Pakistan would be clearly the best test side in subcontinent if they pull this off.
The batsmen are growing a habit of doing well when they have their backs against the wall. Happened in all three tests in this series.

 

[Markhor]

So much for those big hundreds...

 

[MRSN]

lbw candidate does it again.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Allah. Wow. So happy!!!!!!!

DRSSSSSSSS finally

 

[Abdullah]

Crap

 

[MRSN]

Finally DRS works in our favour..

 

[the Great Khan]

ohhh buch gaya..alhumdullilah..

 

[Madplayer]

So much for those big hundreds...

) atleast wait before the decision is completed

 

[taqi]

this is not fair must have sniko and hot spot

 

[MRSN]

So much for those big hundreds...

still on..

 

[Abdullah]

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Allah. Wow. So happy!!!!!!!

DRSSSSSSSS finally

Alhumdulllilah!!
I am leaving now - coz your stream is ahead of mine!!!

 

[PCP_1]

Woohoo.

 

[saeed-sohail]

That looked out to the naked eye.

Woah so nervous then.

Drinks come at the right time.

When I looked over Shaans first class scores. He has been dismissed in the 90s around 6 times. He does get nervous around this stage. Imperative he stays focussed. YK their to help which is good. But still nervous if he can do it.....

 

[MRSN]

There was no edge...) It was as plumb as it could get.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Haha Masud got away with a big one. That was clearly out.

 

[jog_1]

Was out, but we finally get some favorable decisions

 

[Bullet Drive]

SL lose both reviews. YAAAAAY!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Phew! massive let off that one! masood needs to refocus!

 

[akamaka]

Cmon boys, don't lose focus noww

 

[m.shah]

Still 219 required

 

[Abhilash93]

S Ravi to the rescue!

On the other hand yk simply doesnt give a damn what score he is batting on whether its 10 or 99

 

[the Great Khan]

He was out though, lucky boy needs to make it count..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why is he a 'great guy'?

He's a good guy. No arrogance. Works hard at his game. Is liked by the whole team. Fittest in Pakistan. But of course, his uncle and father did all of that for him.

 

[#GreenRoars]

He was out though, lucky boy needs to make it count..

There was a doubt, no clear evidence.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Yes lol only thing that saved him was on field decision.

he's got YK at the other end to help him out..gotta keep focussed cant afford to lose any wickets tonight!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yep so lets hope YK is their with him if Shaan gets the chance.

 

[Neferpitou]

It's part of the game, he wasn't so lucky first innings. It all evens out.

 

[Mainul]

According to Pakistani nature of playing Pakistan is giving high hopes of winning this match now.

But......they are supposed to lose at the end.

That will be pathetic for thousands of posters here. Lets see....It is an interesting match, full of drama

 

[Belawal2014]

SL commies phir roh rahe hain.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Still I think Shaan looks bit shaky vs off spin.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Roshan Abeysinghe crying

 

[JibranAnsari]

It will depend on how many more wickets we lose before the 2nd new ball. The lower order will be under tremendous pressure.

 

[Bullet Drive]

17 more for Shaan. Pls do dua. In sha Allah he can make it. That should have been 4. Missed out.

 

[MRSN]

SL commies phir roh rahe hain.

Ramiz is also ro raha hai..and he isn't even Sri Lankan..

 

[Neferpitou]

Still I think Shaan looks bit shaky vs off spin.

Ye still shaky but he's improved since last game.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I thought that just touched the bat.

By the way this is what happen when you have no hotspot or snicko.

 

[Abdullah]

Nobody can predict a pakistan win right now.
We are stil far far away and new batsman will find it harder to get in- especially when you see the spin that is happening.

We can only review at the end of the days play at the earliest.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Felling so happy for Masood , never liked him though. Hope he goes onto make a winning 150.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz Raja sprouting gibberish to impress with his vocabulary.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Matthews cutters are troubling Shaan. He's not picking them well.

 

[MRSN]

It will depend on how many more wickets we lose before the 2nd new ball. The lower order will be under tremendous pressure.

yaar ap phir match harwane agaye ho.

 

[Belawal2014]

Ramiz is also ro raha hai..and he isn't even Sri Lankan..

He was peer pressured by Roshan's whining

 

[Mainul]

Younis once again showing his classy touch in 4th innings

We have given ourselves a chance though and thats the beauty of test cricket. It can go any way now.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

looked very thin edge to me . but close call

 

[Bullet Drive]

16 more for Shaan.

YK im so confident he'll make it. Not worried when he bats

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like SL manager has gone to complain about the decision!

 

[JibranAnsari]

yaar ap phir match harwane agaye ho.

Main jitwane aaya hun..





sri lanka ko

 

[Bullet Drive]

33 overs till new ball and SL get reviews.

Those 33 overs we need 100 runs.

Then only 100 to get with second new ball should be well.

 

[Mainul]

Felling so happy for Masood , never liked him though. Hope he goes onto make a winning 150.

.
That will be a tragedy ultimately for Pakistan

 

[angrypathan]

this partnership has been at a rr of 3.93, great stuff, good positive cricket

 

[yasir]

I don't get this hue and cry. You have to use better edge detecting tech, just pictures is not going to cut it. sniko and edge detection by white mark they used in AUS/ENG should be used.

Why they don't use in UAE and SL, cost?

[PerfectionPersonified]

YK is playing a GEM of innings..hope he breaks the highest runs record for Pakistan in this match

 

[JibranAnsari]

This conclusive evidence thing is sometimes so ridiculous. ICC needs to work on DRS , can not afford to leave it as it is.

 

[Bullet Drive]

156 partnership for Shaan with his hero. Best day of his life I'm sure.

 

[Bullet Drive]

You people don't understand DRS.

It is used to take away the howler. That wasnt.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Did it rain today during the match?

 

[Pete Rose]

He was peer pressured by Roshan's whining

Ramiz as a commentator can be defined as 'very'
Whenever his co commentator has a thought: Ramiz just adds 'very' to the same thought but using far too many words for it.

We play entertaining cricket irrespective of losing or winning. Mostly for losing.

Once again this game is for ours to lose from here onwards.

 

[akamaka]

herath would have destroyed us by now

 

[angrypathan]

These two have been scoring pretty freely, should look to get around 140 in 33 overs

 

[Arsal_AK]

16 more for Shaan.

YK im so confident he'll make it. Not worried when he bats

Dont jinx him.

Long way to go still.

 

[m.shah]

Appears Sri lanka's manager has gone
and checked with the third umpire
regarding that Masood lbw decision

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lets change the purpose of DRS , do not only remove howlers. Become a complete tool of judgement , I don't like the umpires call thingy..ridiculous.

 

[Ottoman]

156 partnership for Shaan with his hero. Best day of his life I'm sure.

looks a solid bat. Hope to see him making a big hundred today.

 

[Neferpitou]

Lol at Misbah's reactions. )

 

[PCP_1]

Great captaining by Misbah.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yar can anybody elaborate on imran khans bowling today? I missed it.

 

[Hawkeye]

We're winning this.

Awesome approach. Leadership deserves credit too.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Masood is exceptionally lucky, If he gets out before hundred, then he doesn't deserve it!

 

[Mainul]

Dont be pessimist. That UAE game where Azhar did heroics can give you tonic
