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

[saeed-sohail]

Salam dosto. Decent start by Pakistan with Farhat of all ppl providing fireworks.

 

[Badsha]

Need a big over.


But I wont be convinced by that. I want to see them milk the bowlers.

 

[Badsha]

12 overs of solid batting needed till batting PP and we need to make sure we dont mess it up like the last game.

That's the mentality which never let's us get to big scores or chase.


We must constantly look to score runs when the opportunity arises. Not "tuk tuk" till the end and then hit hard

 

[talha3]

Perera is a great fielder off his bowling.

 

[saeed-sohail]

No Ajmal?

 

[Badsha]

At least keep the run rate above 5.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

No Ajmal?

Nope, Sami in for him

 

[Poison]

Very well set here for around 250. Just gotta keep it up and get to around 160 by the 35th.

 

[Badsha]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[talha3]

Azhar gone, wasn't comfortable against Mendis.

 

[Ahson8]

Azhar

 

[g00g1y]

Azhar ali gone poor shot never looked in.

 

[cricketfan86]

azhar gone

 

[cricketpassion]

Story of Pakistan batsmen , make 20-30 and then get out

 

[waqar goraya]

azhar's inability to rotate strike acounts for hisdownfall

 

[cricketfan86]

misbah in shud have sent umar akmal

 

[qamar84]

i am smelling a six here

 

[Asif321]

we cant efford wicket before 36 overs now

 

[qamar84]

single

 

[Ahson8]

[attock]

Aaad needs to convert his start in to a big total........

 

[talha3]

Well played over by Shafiq. Needs to continue and get 60+ here

 

[JibranAnsari]

230 looking real now.. come on pakistan

 

[waqar goraya]

malinga warming up!!!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Farhat played some delightful shots.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan keep losing wickets at wrong time and arent allowing any momentum to be built up here.

 

[talha3]

6 off malinga's over. Good stuff.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah needs to get a move on here so that pressure isnt being built on Asad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad finally looks better than junior akmal.

 

[truthseer]

Shafiq looking good

 

[Bhaijaan]

Azhar gone

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Azhar gone

Azhar?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asad needs to bat through the inns here,

 

[waqar goraya]

don't freeze misbah

 

[A.M.]

Shafiq should take the charge now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah the snail at work

 

[talha3]

Misbah needs to step on it a bit now.

 

[A.M.]

single of the last ball

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah should get out now , i want to see kukri bat

 

[MenInG]

Pak will look to add 100 or so in last 10 overs

 

[A.M.]

nice shot for two runs

 

[attock]

misfield..........

 

[A.M.]

left alone

 

[A.M.]

[A.M.]

[A.M.]

Drinks

 

[talha3]

Pak will look to add 100 or so in last 10 overs

Yep, standard strategy.

 

[Asif321]

should get 260 ....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pak will look to add 100 or so in last 10 overs

Another 100 will be a miracle

 

[Osama_B]

inzi would have hammered those 2 short balls from the spinner

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yep, standard strategy.

usually a standard failure these days

 

[Markhor]

Salaam all, just tuned in, what would be a good score on this pitch ?

 

[A.M.]

Shafiq is looking good on 37

 

[Torpedo]

I want Misbah to bat till stumps.

 

[truthseer]

If we get a 100 of the last 10, we're getting 280, it seems

 

[talha3]

usually a standard failure these days

Has been for a while.

The last time it was a success was in the days of Kami, Afridi and Razzaq in the lower order.

 

[A.M.]

single of the first ball after drinks

 

[Saurav]

If we get a 100 of the last 10, we're getting 280, it seems

100 of last 10,are u kidding me?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Has been for a while.

The last time it was a success was in the days of Kami, Afridi and Razzaq in the lower order.

Hammad might fill the void a bit , selectors not ready to gamble.

 

[A.M.]

two dot balls

 

[Saurav]

10 off 24

 

[cricketfan86]

direct hit

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah needs to step up or get out , this is ridiculous.

 

[A.M.]

wonderful shot and good fielding two runs

 

[imshally81]

Asad in trouble in...

 

[Saurav]

great fielding

 

[talha3]

Dive Shafiq, dive!

 

[cricketfan86]

he iz out

 

[attock]

 

[imshally81]

 

[Saurav]

without Ajmal even 260 wont be safe

 

[A.M.]

 

[Saurav]

 

[cricketfan86]

asad gone

 

[talha3]

A wicket at the wrong time, the wrong man out...for the 3rd time today.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Typical shafiq..seldom makes a score higher than 30's....reflected in his mediocre average.
