Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Pakistan won by 7 wickets

[akamaka]

new ball

 

[naveed4687]

Ayyyyyyyyyeeeeeoooooooo!

Means Nothing according to Ramiz

 

[aloo paratha]

Prasad holds the key here. If he is wayward, we win.

Lakmal and Pradeep are decent too.

 

[Square Drive]

We have to finish it in this session.

It will rain in session 2 and 3.

101 runs.

Nah don't think it will rain. Was supposed to rain throughout the last Test too, but it didn't rain all that much.

Forecast is terrible.

 

[MMHS]

Is it a good idea? The new ball 'll come on to bat & it takes Kushal out; I think, I would have continued with old ball for 10 more overs, choke the run & then take it 20 minutes before lunch. However, Shan is out & Misbah isn't the best against new ball.

 

[aloo paratha]

Oh yeah however said that Chandimal hasn't said "annahari", well he's said it now.

 

[Square Drive]

Lakmal and Pradeep are decent too.

Nah not scared of Lakmal.

Though yes, Pradeep will be decent indeed. But if Prasad is wayward, Pradeep will not have any support.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK avg of 53.78

Sachin avg of 53.78

#equal

 

[honeybadger]

He will be even more with bounce.

He has shown issues with his control. New ball is not easy to tame.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Kaushal taken off. Change of bowling.

 

[Arsal_AK]

It depends on YK imo.

 

[Bullet Drive]

101 more to win. This is not easy at all.

 

[Square Drive]

Pradeep on...

 

[Pakcricket89]

Only two more recognised batsmen to come........

My money is on Sri Lanka in this position.....

Mine too

 

[m.shah]

Nervous with the new ball

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah looking solid.

 

[aloo paratha]

Misbah looking solid.

When dosen't he?

 

[walashi]

bad bowling from pradeep

 

[Arsal_AK]

Under 100 now.

 

[aloo paratha]

That's exploded off the pitch. Not a good sign for Pakistan!

 

[ViciousMachine]

Yessssss !! 4 byes!! Only 96 more

 

[Square Drive]

Yes!!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

When dosen't he?

A lot in recent times.

 

[Pakcricket89]

positive signs for Lanka, Pakistan could have done with a set opener in Shan facing new ball

 

[Man Of Steel]

YK redeeming his average with this innings.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Not much movement.

 

[Square Drive]

Why's Prasad jogging?

 

[aloo paratha]

A lot in recent times.

But I mean usually he is solid. He's been injured too!

 

[Justcrazy]

95 required

 

[aloo paratha]

Why's Prasad jogging?

Warm up?... Oh yeah we're used to seeing Pakistan play we don't see these things from them.

 

[m.shah]

95 required

 

[Fineline]

Warm up?... Oh yeah we're used to seeing Pakistan play we don't see these things from them.

We are damn too lazy.

 

[saeed-sohail]

I have more faith in Misbah in this situation. YK ko over confidence le na doobe.

[aloo paratha]

Do they even know what a warm up is?

 

[m.shah]

Misbah score some runs sir

 

[MMHS]

Misbah is killing the momentum, I don't think Lankans are bowling well -too wide & a bit short; Misbah could have cut at least 3 so far in last 3 overs, just left alone.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Misbah judgement of balls outside off stump is perfect, much better than YK.

 

[Square Drive]

Warm up?... Oh yeah we're used to seeing Pakistan play we don't see these things from them.

Nah I mean like he was jogging back to his run-up.

 

[aloo paratha]

Misbah just give Younis the damn strike.

 

[zabalestmsm]

I like YK's approach! I guess YK has been given a license while Misbah will play cautiously! But Misbah tends to be over cautious at times!

 

[saeed-sohail]

It's not Sikandar it's Sharma guy from Sahara cup in 90s.

[aloo paratha]

Oh, I don't know then.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Some pressure building. Misbah needs to take singles.

YK taken single twice on first ball over for Misbah to block all 5 after.

 

[saeed-sohail]

How many more runs with one more wicket would make you feel comfortable?

[Thivagar]

the pitch is now flat.

 

[Arsal_AK]

+1

If he gets out now it be terrible. He will hand the momentum right to SL.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Wide! Useful run!

 

[Fineline]

Do they even know what a warm up is?

Point!Maybe they know but as I earlier mentioned,are damn too lazy to perform it.Thus,out fielding sucks big time too.

 

[aloo paratha]

A wide in tests... That means it's pretty wide.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Some pressure building. Misbah needs to take singles.

YK taken single twice on first ball over for Misbah to block all 5 after.

Hosla meri jaan hosla.

[Bullet Drive]

9 off 43. He has had been fed some pies yet hasn't even attempted to hit em.

He's wasting time and building pressure. If it rains in 2nd and 3rd session and we don't bat......

Be positive.

 

[m.shah]

Runs have dried up

 

[talha3]

Some pressure building. Misbah needs to take singles.

YK taken single twice on first ball over for Misbah to block all 5 after.

Hasn't been in the best of form this series. Younis' experience won't let him get affected by whatever Misbah does.

Misbah seeing off the new ball will at least make it easier if and when the next man comes out.

 

[Thivagar]

The revenge will be taken in the odi series

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is killing the momentum, I don't think Lankans are bowling well -too wide & a bit short; Misbah could have cut at least 3 so far in last 3 overs, just left alone.

He did this in ODI cricket as well for 5 years.

That's why I'm so happy he has left.

How long has it been since the new ball. Stupid Ten Sports just telling me how many runs to win.

 

[Arsal_AK]

No Signature

Around 70 to go.

If YK stays then it doesnt matter. Dont think we will lose with him out there.

And I trust Sarfraz to take us home if he doesnt come up against the new ball.

 

[Fineline]

Our*

 

[walashi]

Chandimal hurt his finger

 

[Bullet Drive]

92 to win.

We should have tried to finish it this session.

 

[talha3]

4 and a half overs.

 

[aloo paratha]

He did it vs SA in the world cup. Came and killed the momentum with 9 off 29.

 

[Bullet Drive]

4.3 overs.

 

[uberkoen]

I told you yesterday that a YK double is coming up!

Mark my words.

 

[Justcrazy]

chandimal is hurt

 

[aloo paratha]

4 and a half overs.

Thank you. Shookarya.

 

[ahanank]

He is basically making it easier for others to bat around him with seeing off the new ball.

TenCricket is actually the main broadcaster of this series.Its up to them whatever they prefer to show at a particular time.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

I thought K Silva is also a WK . Is't he?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another short and wide one Misbah could have cut. Just left it..

 

[Fineline]

Finally Misbah gets a run.

 

[yasir]

92 to win.

We should have tried to finish it this session.

Are you really watching the match?

They are bowling yard outside off stump. They want you to play crazy shots. Shan lost his wicket by trying to manufacture shots. It's like chess game. You have to be patient.

Ok I think that's being a little to paranoid.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 off 35 for Misbah vs pace

 

[aloo paratha]

Omg misbah gets a run!!! EID MUBARAK!

 

[akamaka]

Misbah gets a run off a pacer, 1st run. :AAG

Misbah smart. If wicket is lost here, the battle is that much easier for Asad and Sarfi

Thing is Misbah has had about 5 opportunities to play the cut shot. Ball is hardly swinging. They have been short and wide and he's left em all.

I'm just worried that it will rain in 2nd and 3rd session else I wouldn't care about pace of his innings.

 

[ahanank]

Some people need to be patient here.
He knows what he is doing!
Shouting and screaming here won't make a difference, so chill.
