Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 5th ODI | Colombo (RPS)| Aug 9, 2009 | Pak Innings

[Inswinger]

Wow.

 

[Sheikh]

Shot. Pure hand-eye coordination there.

Keep your head now.

 

[iZeeshan]

It's a joy watching this kind of batting!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Crashing drive short cover stopped it and just 1 run!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pls cut out this reference to beasts etc. Once in a while is fine. Thanks

Now is that against the rules?

We cant even have fun?

When was the last time you saw me use the word?

Calm down MIG

 

[MIG]

Could this be that day? Imran Nazir.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nazir almost took out Tharanga with that cover drive. Looking unbelievable dangerous right now. Seems a long time since I said that about a Pakistani opener!

 

[Sheikh]

Sanga would do well to take off Prasad.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It's a joy watching this kind of batting!

Oh YES!!!

 

[dirk diggler]

oh dear mr mendis

 

[On_the_up]

what pull stroke by Imran

 

[ahmed16]

Imran Nazir= the oxford dictionarys opposite of sense and the theasuaruss similar definition for luck.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs for Nazir through 3rd man!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Guided by Nazir, poor effort on the boundary

 

[Usman Chadda]

I dunno whether that was a glide or an edge, but gets another boundary does Nazir. Mendis makes a mess of it on the boundary

 

[dirk diggler]

Oh YES!!![/QUOchurchill dog!

 

[On_the_up]

Imran gets his fast start, dont give it away this time

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Easy Nazir no quick or RISKY singles mate!

 

[Inswinger]

Mendis makes Ajmal seem like a great fielder.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I'm Loving it.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh YES!!![/QUOchurchill dog!

You got that right!

 

[Juggernaut]

He's running for everything Nazir is ... stop the mindless running and stop the mindness slogging ... time the ball

 

[Sheikh]

There's the wild slog. One every 10 balls, always on cue.

 

[On_the_up]

down the track and hoicked to midwkt. thats unnecessary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No Pak bowler in the ODI bowling rankings - Thats some concern!

 

[dirk diggler]

Its a flat track and power play is on, YK neds to increse his strike rate

 

[ahmed16]

Younus Khan 7(19) living it out.

 

[Usman Chadda]

For every slog, Nazir should get a smack from YK's bat. Only way to keep this guy under control. When you are timing the ball so well, why slog?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

44 for 1 after 7 overs

 

[On_the_up]

should be careful against Kulusakera

 

[Afridi_Fan]

44/1 after 7 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

35 from 21 for Nazir

8 from 20 for YK

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mendis into the attack now

 

[Saj]

Thats what you get with Imran Nazir. Mercurial strokeplay followed by mindless village green batting.

Heart in your mouth stuff

 

[Usman Chadda]

Mendis on

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Mendis comes on, I fear for Nazir

 

[dirk diggler]

akmal still in denial!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is going to be good - Nazir vs Mendis

 

[On_the_up]

Mendis on

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi Fan - Brace yourself now!

 

[On_the_up]

This is going to be good - Nazir vs Mendis

Or very short

 

[Inswinger]

akmal still in denial!

Can you blame him?

 

[dirk diggler]

imran gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Out Nazir LBW to Mendis 2nd ball he faces of him

 

[On_the_up]

It was very short

 

[ahmed16]

Nazir is gone...so Mr Chance makes his way back. Good enough start though. Cue Yousuf.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I told you *sigh*

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Or very short

Indeed short lived Was expected though!

 

[Inswinger]

Wow. Knew that was coming

 

[Usman Chadda]

Damn. Nazir out LBW playing across the line. Decent innings of 35 comes to an end

 

[dirk diggler]

time for a big innings from MOYO

 

[On_the_up]

Well I suppose we will take 35 from an opener at the moment

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Moyo comes out and needs to repair the damage now with YK for atleast the next 15 overs or so

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Sheikh]

Decent knock, gave us some impetus. Pity he couldn't carry on.

 

[rhussain33]

Bad luck Imran Nazir, dont play across the line like that next time.

But you done well opening and given us a good start again, now for the rest to build on and consolodate.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

45 for 2 after 8

 

[dirk diggler]

waqar "Yousaf playing for his career"

 

[On_the_up]

The experienced lot need to take some responsibility here (YK, Yousuf, MIsbah), can't rely on O Akmal all the time.

 

[On_the_up]

45-2 (8)

 

[ahmed16]

time for a big innings from MOYO

You said it.

 

[dirk diggler]

that looked out

 

[ahmed16]

The experienced lot need to take some responsibility here (YK, Yousuf, MIsbah), can't rely on O Akmal all the time.

What the hell makes Misbah experienced.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not out LBW Big shout

 

[rhussain33]

Moyo needs to play a decent innings and not make silly prods and pushes at the ball,

he needs to keep rotating the strike, his wicket is valuble so not give it away cheaply like he has.

 

[ahmed16]

Umpires...they just get everything wrong...it was plumb..leg stump half way up.

 

[dirk diggler]

this umpire is rubbish, making up for akmals dismissal!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

With these two at the crease one cant rule out runout possibility

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice shot by Moyo for 4 runs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 for 2 after 9 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 up

 

[ahmed16]

Very nice shot from Yousuf.

 

[dirk diggler]

lucky imran made those quickfire runs or else run rate wouldve been bout 3!

 

[PakPassionate]

Imran Nazir is one player that makes me bang my head on the wall. So much talent, so much class ... why the reckless attitude?!

Agree with u..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a big shout too by Mendis this time for LBW against YK - NOT OUT by Davis

 

[dirk diggler]

OUTside the line...just

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and sweep

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Quick single follows next ball

 

[ahmed16]

What is this...i though were supposed to be the best players of Mendis.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cut and miss by Moyo
