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

[mamoo gogo]

anyone else getting bored?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Going down the legside NOT OUT by Davis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Union Jack has taken off with a mini SL flag in the middle!

 

[On_the_up]

86-2 (18)

 

[Sheikh]

Quite poor from these two so far. 40 runs in 10 overs isn't good enough on a pitch that's an absolute belter.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jayasuriya comes on now to have a try!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nearly gone good effort by Jayasuriya couldnt hold on to it

 

[Juggernaut]

Bloody hell ... Yousuf having problems with left arm spin again

 

[On_the_up]

Jaya drops Yousuf

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nicely smashed outside off stump poor ball by Jaya and Moyo gets a 4!

 

[Juggernaut]

scratch my last post .... 4 for Yousuf

 

[On_the_up]

::4

 

[Afridi_Fan]

anyone else getting bored?

*Raises his hand*

 

[Juggernaut]

We need te get to a 100 after 20 ... 2 boundaries anyone?

 

[On_the_up]

Yousuf can take singles at will, that's a very handy ability to have, YK is lacking in that dept.

 

[On_the_up]

92-2 (19.1)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

An England supporter with a SL flag sticker on his face! Good support!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot by Moyo for 4! Well timed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good effort by Mathews but the ball won the race!

 

[coca-cola]

why does he keep saying goals? wth?

 

[Sheikh]

Lovely late cut by Yousuf.

 

[On_the_up]

50 partnership up, with another 4

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 runs by Moyo!

 

[Usman Chadda]

OK this phase might make us pay later on during the match. YK and Moyo both struggling to get the spinners away

50-run partnership for these two. Has took some time

 

[On_the_up]

Yousuf made 34 of those

 

[sehban]

i hate this commentator Roshan something ... he only talks from srilankan point of view...he's not neutral at all

 

[Sheikh]

Yousuf starting to pick up the pace a bit. Younis needs to join in.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

99 for 2 after 20 overs

Oh well my prediction of 100 by the 20th not missing by much! So still am satisfied with it!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

100 up in 20.1 overs

 

[On_the_up]

we are going at 5 and over, that will give 250 without any acceleration, I would take this at this stage, one of these guys needs to get a hundred and both should be looking to stay till the 35th over.

 

[On_the_up]

Yousuf moves on to 39

 

[Deewana Mastana]

103 for 2 after 21 overs

 

[coca-cola]

another waqar younis specail...."scoring rat" instead of rate...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Big Big shout by Bandara there he was pleading!

 

[ahmed16]

That was plumb.

 

[Inswinger]

What sot of a appeal is that?

"Ah ah ah ah"

 

[Inswinger]

That was plumb.

Really? How about the stride down the track?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Somebody catching a ball in the crowd can get SL Rs. 25,000 which is a pretty good initiative!

 

[coca-cola]

that was plumb

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What sot of a appeal is that?

"Ah ah ah ah"

Something was in pain!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs by Moyo! Good stuff nice!

 

[Sheikh]

Yousuf's looking good, there's a bit of urgency in his batting.

Where was this earlier in the series?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This time its YK with a good shot for 4 runs!

 

[coca-cola]

we need to get runrate to about 5.5 till the 40th over, then accelarate with misbah/akmal/afridi and rana

 

[ahmed16]

Really? How about the stride down the track?

not that big a stride.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good to see them picking up the scoring rate a bit now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Uh - Oh Moyo gone as he was looking good!

 

[Juggernaut]

Jaysuriya running like a ****ing sprinter ... is he really 40 .... and as i say that Yousuf is gone

 

[coca-cola]

crap....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Moyo out for 43 off 55 balls

 

[Inswinger]

Grandpa gets a wicket

 

[ahmed16]

Yousuf against left arm spin...the guy needs a batting coach. Another soft dismissal.

 

[coca-cola]

yousuf was looking really good.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jaysuriya running like a ****ing sprinter ... is he really 40 .... and as i say that Yousuf is gone

He is pretty good for his age!

 

[ahmed16]

Grandpa gets a wicket

of the other grandpa.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yousuf goes. Played and missed in identical fashion a couple of times, I had a feeling this dismissal was coming

Pakistan 113/3 ... PP-favourite Misbah-ul-haq comes to the crease

 

[rhussain33]

Yousef done a good job, better then his previous innings. so far no complaints... ticking along good.

Kamrans dismissal was a disaster and a shame, no one can be blamed but the umpire.

No ones let us down so far...

 

[pakmandanish]

misbah`s highest score : 79
what a shame
how can he be in the team which such bad figures(!)

 

[naqlipathan]

yousuf played well, 43 runs with a strike rate of 78.

definitely a better ODI player than malik and misbah.

he has to be in the team. fawad must replace malik and umer must replace misbah. i cant see how some people on pakpassion would rather see malik than yousuf in the team.

 

[Usman Chadda]

YK is an expert at finding the fielders

Hope he sticks around till the end though

Here we go brining Malik back into the euqation...the dude is not playing, that is what you wanted so now just keep your clams shut. And no one would rather see Malik over Yousuf..we would however like to see a younger player who cn field over Yousuf, but no one has explicitly singled out Malik.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

YK needs to be till the end InshahAllah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Am not expecting much from Misbah at the moment though

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I would've been tempted to send in Omar Akmal ahead of him!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Our middle-order is leaving a little too much to do for the lower-order. Also, there is no wayward Malinga this time round

 

[Sheikh]

I don't think I've ever seen Misbah using his feet against the spinners.

It's painful to watch him poke ineptly at straight balls, completely unable to rotate the strike.

 

[Juggernaut]

the way their not looking to go crazy at the moment suggests they must have some sort of plan ... i dont see any other reason to play so slow

 

[coca-cola]

no doubt that yousuf bats better than malik? is that even a question?

 

[Juggernaut]

FOUR from the Captain

 

[naqlipathan]

actually over the past few days many people have said they would prefer malik over yousuf in the team. you can look at the various threads and see line-ups where there is malik but no yousuf.i thought you'd be the first one who'd want that, seeing how much you support malik. are you related to him?

why does it hurt you so much if i dont want mediocre players playing for the team? why this obsession with mediocrity?

 

[Sheikh]

Younis really picking it up here.

He started with 12 off 35.

Since then he's made 32 of 29.

 

[On_the_up]

131-3 (26)

 

[Sheikh]

We're going at 5 an over.

300 is definitely on.

 

[cricketpassion]

We're going at 5 an over.

300 is definitely on.

Inshallah

 

[Deewana Mastana]

We're going at 5 an over.

300 is definitely on.

InshahAllah

Uh where...i cant see any....and as i said before I am no Malik supporter..just that people including myself have got there wish, Malik is no longer here so just keep the dude out of it, i see no reason wy he should be the whipping block for the likes of you when he ios not playing, his time is up and good riddance, now leave the dude alone..is that too much to ask..where is the humanity...Oh i forgot hum Pakistani hain.

As for Yousuf, my non support for the guy has nothing to do with Malik...i class Yousuf as an old timer and i believe in prep for 2011 he should be eased out and someone like Alam should take his place. Thats my view so back off.

 

[iZeeshan]

Shouldnt be long before young Misbah leaves us.

 

[On_the_up]

4 of the last over, ticking away nicely

 

[rhussain33]

Younis has been consistent in scoring his runs... Hence why he one of leading run scoreres this series... well done.

Misbah suprisingly is on 13 from 18. Damn thats a suprise.

 

[rhussain33]

The cameraman was distracted by the young beauty doing her hair rather then younis's 50, which is why it probably went 'un-noticed by many' as the commentator said haha.
