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

[Shayan]

248 to win

 

[Animal]

According to Cricinfo all the SL batsmen playing today have at least one 50 in ODI cricket, except Jeevan Mendis.

Who has a double century in first class cricket.

Good luck stopping SL without Ajmal.

 

[Poison]

First page of original thread - I tipped a Pakistan win defending a score of around 240ish.

Worship me

 

[Markhor]

Here we go. Dilshan and Tharanga opening.

 

[ethan hunt]

backing pakistan to win this one , defending a target is what these guys are good at .

 

[Poison]

A lot depends on how Gully bowls today ... expecting a strong performance.

:4

 

[Markhor]

Down fine-leg for 4 leg byes

 

[GLORY OF '92]

20 runs short sl favourites

 

[cricketworm]

A bowler short, means not a single bowler can afford to be expensive.

 

[Markhor]

Sri Lanka bat very deep. Apparently Jeewan Mendis is the highest run getter in domestic series at 9 and Kulasekara is at 10.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gul will go for at least 55

 

[cricketfan86]

8 runz from the over wat a start

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yep sl batting is very deep unlike ourselves.

 

[cricketfan86]

 

[GLORY OF '92]

LOL Tanvir just useless

 

[Markhor]

Well bowled Tanvir, didn't carry.

 

[Markhor]

 

[Square Drive]

 

[Markhor]

Not a great start from the bowlers. Need to stop giving away these freebies.

 

[Square Drive]

LOL, a wide followed by a good delivery.

 

[Square Drive]

Good start from Kukri.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We need at least 2 wkts in the first 10 otherwise very tough.

 

[asadee]

why is Ajmal not playing??

 

[JilaWatan]

Need dilshans wicket

 

[Square Drive]

Good over Guldozer.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We play too many dots that's why we are often 20-30 short.

 

[Square Drive]

:4

 

[asadee]

why is Ajmal not playing????

 

[Square Drive]

 

[JilaWatan]

goooooooooood ball...outttt

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Phew!

 

[talha3]

Tanvir you beauty

 

[JilaWatan]

sick delivery

 

[Square Drive]

Not a , awesome Kukri!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Heart in mouth moment for Tanvir and fans, no no ball this time.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Where is everyone here? Lunch????

 

[Square Drive]

why is Ajmal not playing????

That's what everyone is wondering. He should've played ahead of Gul. BTW, why such less people following this match?

 

[Markhor]

Tanvir bowls Dilshan. Not sure about that brief pause but Dilshan is gone.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

On the topic of lunch just had paratha with eggs and Achar with tea.....

 

[chui_kadoo]

I told you folks we will win this won. 247 is plenty. Plenty I tell you. You guys worry too much. Its will be a comfortable victory.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Huge appeal, not given.

 

[JilaWatan]

hhaha yea where is everyone

 

[Kwremb]

Kukri proves his return to form this series

 

[KingKhanWC]

Greig is off his rocker, it wasn't excessive appealing but Chris Broad won't do Pak any favours.

 

[talha3]

Good over Gul.

 

[JilaWatan]

Greig is off his rocker, it wasn't excessive appealing but Chris Broad won't do Pak any favours.

dude gul was a bit over-doing it...

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Good Over by Gul

 

[Poison]

On the topic of lunch just had paratha with eggs and Achar with tea.....

Never understood the fascination with achar ... doesn't agree with the tastebuds

 

[KingKhanWC]

dude gul was a bit over-doing it...

Not enough to warrant a fine imo, I've seen much worse not being pursued by match refs.

The good news is Pak team is fired up to defend this score.

 

[Poison]

Gully should break Sangakkara's head to atone for his error last game

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lovely late swing from Tanvir, Sanga could be in trouble here.

 

[Poison]

I think it's time ...

 

[talha3]

What a ball!!!

Tanvir!

 

[Poison]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Peach!

 

[JilaWatan]

tanvir baby.... GONEEEE

 

[Markhor]

Tanvir bowls Tharanga ! Stumps go flying

 

[Pakistaniboy]

Good By Tanvir

 

[Square Drive]

Kukri you legend!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Amazing!

 

[chui_kadoo]

kukri too good

 

[PTI tsunami]

Peach

 

[chui_kadoo]

SL wont get more than 200.

 

[Pakistaniboy]

What a Ball!!

 

[imranq]

They should keep sami away from sangakarra... he can't bowl to lefties

 

[JilaWatan]

if we get sanga, we have a tight grip on this game

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Never understood the fascination with achar ... doesn't agree with the tastebuds

:Afridi

 

[Markhor]

Chandimal in

 

[KingKhanWC]

Dinesh comes in.

Tharanga's balance was non-existent, swing made him look silly.

 

[imshally81]

Kukri on top

 

[Kwremb]

Kukri

 

[Poison]

Give Chandimal a few dots and just wait for the wild hoick

 

[Saurav]

great start.

Pak's game to lose now

 

[KingKhanWC]

Gul not swinging it but good line and length.

A Sami burst here could be a good move.

 

[Liverpoolred]

Am I the only one who felt earlier Tharanga had nicked Guls delivery to the keeper?

 

[NeVerMind]

Seriously what a turn around for Kukri! What a come back!!

 

[Markhor]

Well fielded

 

[KingKhanWC]

3 fielders working together, just saved the 4 imo.

 

[NeVerMind]

Gul bowling a good line and length as well. All eyes on Sami to see if he can pressure on...
