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

[JibranAnsari]

Got 3 bumpers and fished at one outside off from two very good bowlers ... seriously do you want Bradman every match? It was effectively his first failure on tour.

very good bowlers? OK.

 

[Areesh]

Hafeez still opening

 

[talha3]

Probably a good thing, Azhar will end up at 3 if all plans go well.

I guess so.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

The way our batsmen have been playing, even Farhat's streaky twenties thirties might be better than younis' shaky single digit scores

 

[Poison]

very good bowlers? OK.

Lol you're a lost cause.

At least Hafeez didn't take strike

 

[Hassan0987]

Maiden first up

 

[talha3]

Starts off with a maiden.

 

[Hassan0987]

Maybe they left out Ajmal because generally the fast bowlers have taken wickets in this series, hence picking Sami.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

More interesting changes. Imaran Farhat has replaced the in-form Azhar Ali at the top, and not Mohammad Hafeez who is picking ducks faster than Walt Disney did

Cricinfo

)

 

[LegCutter]

What on earth is Whatmore doing? We're back to Farhat? Farhat and Hafeez opening??! Is this going to be our world-class opening pair; FARHAT AND HAFEEZ!!!

Kya hai yaar, this is ANNOYING THE LIFE OUT OF ME! We found one good opener, and we throw him down the order, and we have Hafeez and Farhat opening. Oh my God, I would rather have Sami and Gul opening than these two clowns

 

[g00g1y]

hafeez is sitting duck when ball is swinging.

 

[talha3]

Off the mark

 

[Hassan0987]

2 runs taken

 

[LegCutter]

Azhar Ali was the most in-form opener we have found in the past 10 years, and we decide to destroy his rhythm by moving him down, and when on EARTH are we going to get rid of this cancer called Imran Farhat.

Hadd hai, intiha hai, I am fuming.

 

[Asif321]

thank god hafeez

 

[talha3]

Farhat with the ball going away from him. I fear the worst.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol you're a lost cause.

At least Hafeez didn't take strike

Hafeez is a world beater you know

 

[Asif321]

damaad ji ko zaida daer nahi laghe ghi

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Duck is nearing Farhat.

Quack Quack....

 

[talha3]

Farhat 0(11)...

 

[Asif321]

farhat O of 10 ........

 

[g00g1y]

lara looks set for 10 runs

 

[Captain]

No Ajmal in playing eleven .. dat is as strange as it can get

 

[Hassan0987]

Farhat off the mark

 

[JilaWatan]

[Asif321]

[Aymeking]

[saeedhk]

Off the mark

 

[Farhan2c]

[Hassan0987]

[Pakistaniboy]

1 run for Farhat

 

[Asif321]

[pakistanigoneaussie]

no posts yet from world champion probably means he actually is farhat

 

[JibranAnsari]

Two brilliant openers , that's all we needed.

 

[Farhan2c]

Two brilliant openers , that's all we needed.

Lol it's a shame

 

[Farhan2c]

After 4 overs--no boundary

 

[Hassan0987]

10 after 4 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

After 4 overs--no boundary

Can't we ever be happy? We are 0 down

 

[LethalSami]

wanna bet on a 100 opening stand

 

[Asif321]

we lack left handers in our team .. is that cause of our weak batting
fawad and haris can b solution
and left right hand combination helps

 

[sehwag fan]

farhat opening up here now

 

[Hassan0987]

Good shot, straight to the fielder

 

[Areesh]

After 4 overs--no boundary

That is what Pakistani batting is all about.

 

[JibranAnsari]

wanna bet on a 100 opening stand

in how many overs?

 

[Hassan0987]

Good shot for four by Farhat

 

[talha3]

Good shot by Farhat. Seems to be playing Malinga well.

 

[World Champion]

FARHAT IS PLAYING TODAY OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

 

[Farhan2c]

Now farhat will be in next 10 ODI. Automatic selection.

 

[Aymeking]

Shot :4

 

[sehwag fan]

[Asif321]

[Farhan2c]

He hit it so hard that he needs a new bat

 

[CalculatedRisk]

At least Farhat will play some shots

 

[Hassan0987]

Change of bat for Farhat, probably cracked the old one after hitting the four

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Wow. Farhat playing well.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good over for Pakistan

 

[Asif321]

Farhat is a very stylish player looks worried

 

[NeVerMind]

I am one of the many Farhat critics and I want to be silenced! Keep playing like this Farhat!!

 

[World Champion]

Farhat always makes Malinga look like an amateur

 

[style_guru]

FARHAT IS PLAYING TODAY OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Ilyaas Bhai, mubaarak ho!! Daamaad ji has just cemented his place in the team for next 10 games.

3 runs taken

 

[qamar84]

what happens to him

 

[NeVerMind]

Farhat is a very stylish player looks worried

Nah, YK is himself smiling and applauding Farhat. He is and has always been a team player.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good by farhat , do not let hafeez take the strike. He consumes too many deliveries.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good tactics from Hafeez, shuffling down to negotiate the swing
