Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 5th ODI | Colombo | 6/18/12 | Pakistan Innings

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 225/5 after 45

we need to be scoring at 8-9 an over for last 5 overs here.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

5 runs in the 45th oer off a spinner with Akmal and Afridi on strike, who'd thunk it

 

[Markhor]

Umar Akmal beaten with a slower ball.

 

[Osama_B]

selfish player

looking for singles for his fifty rather than boundaries

 

[cricketfan86]

50 for umar

 

[Hassan0987]

Yes! Umar Akmal gets to his fifty, well played, very lucky this innings

 

[Markhor]

50 up for Umar Akmal !

He rode his luck but a vital knock.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

well played umar...now kick on lad

 

[A.M.]

50 for Umar Akmal

 

[Asif321]

umar ak with a 50 ............ goood

 

[Markhor]

Umar HAS to bat until the end.

Afridi vs Malinga.

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for Umar, well batted.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Superb 50

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Well deserved 50

 

[Saurav]

well played

 

[farazaidi]

Good knock by Umar. Was a little nervous at the start but did well to get thorugh that period

 

[Amjid Javed]

Time for Afridi to tee off here and smack a few out of the ground.

 

[Hassan0987]

Not a good over this

 

[cricketfan86]

selfish player

looking for singles for his fifty rather than boundaries

u guyz have a problem when he trys to hit a boundary u guyz have a problem when he lookz for singlez wat do u want from him

 

[Hassan0987]

2 off the over

 

[farazaidi]

excellent over from Malinga !

 

[talha3]

Quiet over. Need to smash the other end.

 

[Asif321]

need 260 comon !

 

[shortbread]

What an over by Malinga!!

 

[Markhor]

What an over from Malinga, just 2 from it. World class bowler.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Terrific over. Just two runs :!4:

 

[cricketfan86]

if umar had cum on 4th he cud have had hiz 100

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan badly needs a finisher , umar finding it hard to hit it clean.

 

[Hassan0987]

Afridi looking to hit it now

 

[talha3]

Kula has to be targeted.

 

[Hassan0987]

Perfect slower ball

 

[Saj]

Good innings from Umar Akmal today.

 

[bforme]

Congratulations Umar Akmal,well played.He should bat up the order though.
Superb fifty under pressure.....

 

[g00g1y]

pitch is slow, i think 250 is a good score

 

[Bhaijaan]

Afridi's slog

 

[PakFan2010]

Pathetic batting.

 

[Markhor]

if umar had cum on 4th he cud have had hiz 100

Yeah he needs time to build an innings. Looks nervous when he comes out to bat at the 35-40 over mark. We need a finisher like Hammad at 6 and for Umar to bat higher up the order.

 

[A.M.]

superb bowl

 

[farazaidi]

they should lineup for a slower ball !

 

[cricketfan86]

afridi gone

 

[PakFan2010]

Oh dear Afridi
RETARDED BATSMEN

 

[Hassan0987]

Afridi gone, didn't hit it from the middle of the bat, 250 looks more realistic now

 

[talha3]

Afridi doesn't get the distance.

Not a great end to this innings so far.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Umar is really struggling against slower balls.

 

[asif9138]

outtttttttttttt

 

[qamar84]

 

[Markhor]

Mahela catches, Afridi goes for 9. Pathetic innings.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Afridi has lost his timing

We need hitters lower down. Players who hit straight.

 

[A.M.]

single taken

 

[g00g1y]

Afridi

 

[Asif321]

 

[Osama_B]

what a pathetic lower order we have

afridi and a useless keeper )

without razzaq or hammad our firepower looks thin!

 

[0tt0man]

Still ends up with a 100 S.R

 

[asif9138]

umar needs to play till the end!

 

[A.M.]

should send in Tanvir now

 

[Bhaijaan]

Baba out

 

[Asif321]

sarfraz or tanvir

 

[speed]

lol tanvir ahead of sarfraz tells you all about his big hitting ability he has none

 

[g00g1y]

tanvir is on

 

[Saurav]

Still ends up with a 100 S.R

112.5

 

[waqar goraya]

once again it is proven umar is not a finisher

for god's sake bat him at 4

 

[cricketfan86]

Yeah he needs time to build an innings. Looks nervous when he comes out to bat at the 35-40 over mark. We need a finisher like Hammad at 6 and for Umar to bat higher up the order.

thatz wat misbah n dave watmore dont understand

 

[PakFan2010]

Why didn't he run?

 

[Asif321]

sarfraz bichara ....

 

[Markhor]

what a pathetic lower order we have

afridi and a useless keeper )

without razzaq or hammad our firepower looks thin!

Afridi's batting is poor and you could argue that Ajmal and Hafeez are better spinners than him. We need a specialist batsman, or a finisher like Hammad to replace him for sake of team balance otherwise our batting is just too thin, we can't accommodate all these all-rounders.

Sohail Tanvir in.

 

[Areesh]

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

sending tanvir ahead of sarfraz only tells the pathetic captaincy about misbah because of which we are on verge of losing the series

 

[shakil]

Asif bhai, how is the training going for your comeback?

 

[Afridirocks]

once again it is proven umar is not a finisher

for god's sake bat him at 4

we have no finisher in this team

 

[farazaidi]

lol, they've sent Tanvir

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kukri in da town

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi has had a bad series with the bat. Needs to perform with the ball today otherwise he may get kicked out

 

[A.M.]

single to Umar

 

[Markhor]

PAK 231-6 | 47 overs

 

[Osama_B]

we have no finisher in this team

we have 1 and 1 that should be groomed

razzaq and hammad

both are not being used

 

[Osama_B]

shows how pathetic our keeper is that we send in a tailender above him

luloo player sarfaraz

 

[Asif321]

260 i dont think will b now ... 250 here

 

[A.M.]

dot ball

 

[Markhor]

Afridi has had a bad series with the bat. Needs to perform with the ball today otherwise he may get kicked out

Agreed like I said we need a specialist batsman, or a finisher like Hammad to replace him for sake of team balance otherwise our batting is just too thin, we can't accommodate all these all-rounders.

 

[talha3]

Nice shot from Tanvir.
