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

[Saurav]

damn he was playing well

 

[JibranAnsari]

Come on akmal ,lay an egg

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Asad

 

[Asif321]

big test for umar akmal

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That might cost us we need 260-270imo.

 

[Hassan0987]

Umar off the mark straight away

 

[JibranAnsari]

wrong man out , misbah the snail still out there and has an excuse of playing slow to his heart's content

 

[Hassan0987]

Single taken down the ground

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another needless wicket given away. Pretty much this is why we will end up with a blow par total here on this surface rather then a big one.

 

[A.M.]

off the mark first ball Umar Akmal

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan rightly a number 6 in odis

 

[Torpedo]

Lucky if we get 200.

 

[Hassan0987]

Keeps finding the fielders

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 147/4 after 33 overs.

 

[talha3]

Nervous watching Umar bat.

 

[A.M.]

another single

 

[NeVerMind]

wrong man out , misbah the snail still out there and has an excuse of playing slow to his heart's content

If the other batsman were not so unreliable (aka useless) maybe he would take a risk. do you recall what happened last time when he did do that?

 

[JibranAnsari]

now i will tell what is going to happen , misbah is going to take most of the strike and umar will get frustrated and throw away.

 

[A.M.]

good shot for a single

 

[Hassan0987]

Misbah and Umar need to be there at the finish, don't trust Afridi

 

[JibranAnsari]

If the other batsman were not so unreliable (aka useless) maybe he would take a risk. do you recall what happened last time when he did do that?

once in a blue moon can not be excusable for 65 SR for last one year.

 

[Asif321]

score is less .. with out of form sarfraz and afridi to come

 

[Saurav]

big turn

 

[NeVerMind]

now i will tell what is going to happen , misbah is going to take most of the strike and umar will get frustrated and throw away.

It doesn't take much for Umar to get frustrated as there is not much up there anyway. It's called the Akmal gene!

 

[imshally81]

Huge Appeal but turned down

 

[Hassan0987]

Single to Misbah

 

[Torpedo]

Good bowling by Balapuwaduge Manukulasuriya Amith Jeevan Mendis

 

[JibranAnsari]

It doesn't take much for Umar to get frustrated as there is not much up there anyway. It's called the Akmal gene!

The misbah gene incites the akmal gene

 

[talha3]

Misbah's just going to wait for 3-4 more overs. Too early for Afridi.

 

[waqar goraya]

shafiq has been run out many times...anybody now ??

 

[Hassan0987]

Four by Umar

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[A.M.]

single towards long on

 

[g00g1y]

:4 for umar looks positive

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to somehow get 250 here, but i wont be holding my breathe on it.

 

[NeVerMind]

once in a blue moon can not be excusable for 65 SR for last one year.

Once in a blue moon? I thought you just said it was standard failure these days...

 

[A.M.]

nicely flicked for

 

[the Great Khan]

how long will akmal last?? 3 overs max!

 

[A.M.]

another good shot for 1

 

[Hassan0987]

8 runs from the over

 

[talha3]

Good over.

 

[A.M.]

good over for Pakistan so far

 

[A.M.]

and a single to end the over

 

[talha3]

The batting PP, uh oh!

 

[waqar goraya]

umar has bad intentions today

 

[Hassan0987]

Batting powerplay now, don't need any risky shots, just bat normal and put away the bad balls

 

[qamar84]

powerplay on 160/4 after 35 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Once in a blue moon? I thought you just said it was standard failure these days...

once in a blue moon innings of acceptable strike rate and usually misbah frustrates the batsmen at the other end to cause their demise

 

[NeVerMind]

3rd PP coming up. When's the last time Umar or even Pakistan taken advantage of that?

 

[g00g1y]

power play is on, i hope U akmal survives the first over.

 

[Asif321]

POWER PLAY

 

[talha3]

Umar what are you doing?!!?

 

[Hassan0987]

Umar just take the singles

 

[A.M.]

Malinga to bowl

 

[shakil]

Wicket coming up most likely

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Awful shot. He's a slogger and a terrible one at that.

 

[g00g1y]

come on! let him play his own game.

 

[cricketpassion]

powerplay on 19/4 after 35 overs

Thats realy bad score )

 

[JibranAnsari]

power play is on, i hope U akmal survives the first over.

best comment today

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Umar has a score to settle with Malinga

 

[A.M.]

thats a bad shot but a single still

 

[IAJ]

Our youngsters, apart from Azhar Ali, don't value their wickets high enough. If Asad really was desperate he should have dived like a crazy man. These jokers act like frightend chickens and are afraid of getting injured and then lose their place in The team.

 

[Moh@n]

We need to somehow get 250 here, but i wont be holding my breathe on it.

With Ajmal not playing today, I don't think 250 is going to be a safe enough score.

 

[A.M.]

single

 

[Ahson8]

Akmal :4

 

[Hassan0987]

Nicely played! Put away for four, now just take the single

 

[Markhor]

 

[NeVerMind]

once in a blue moon innings of acceptable strike rate and usually misbah frustrates the batsmen at the other end to cause their demise

So the inconsistency of Pakistani batsman is usually down to Misbah only 9which has existed way before he came inot the team)? It would be nice for the other batsman to accept the blamee for once and work on thier temprement and technique (you know like other teams do).

 

[talha3]

That's better umar.

 

[g00g1y]

:4 leg glance

 

[qamar84]

:umarakmal

 

[A.M.]

thats nicely put away for

 

[King_Rizzy]

Should be aiming for 250 minimum.

 

[Ahson8]

With Ajmal not playing today, I don't think 250 is going to be a safe enough score.

Yeah Gulla is likely to take another phainta

 

[A.M.]

thats better leaving the short ball alone

 

[Ahson8]

6 of the over

 

[Hassan0987]

Misbah needs to calm junior down

 

[A.M.]

slower ball and beats him

 

[Asif321]

umar akmal already on 13 ... misbah still at 15

 

[A.M.]

well played by Umar 6 off the over
