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

[Rana]

i hope we give them a bit of stick in the field today

 

[ahmed16]

Afridi gone and Pakistan may well subside.

 

[coca-cola]

this is ****

 

[Inswinger]

Trouble.

 

[PapaBear]

collapse time, afridi having a brain fart

 

[Usman Chadda]

Afridi goes, caught behind off Kulasekara. We are collapsing once again! issed:

 

[Khabri420]

Afridi plays another crappy shot

 

[hasanb]

214-6 we're collapsing here

 

[Juggernaut]

what a ******** shot ... senseless stuff from Shahid Khan Afridi ... 10 overs to go! ... moronic stuff

 

[ahmed16]

Misbah what do you have left in that 35 year old body...some lusty blows i hope.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Comedy circus

 

[Inswinger]

Wonder why the PP is being reserved.

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah uncle why didn't you take power play when Akmal was in. This is poor stuff from Pakistan.

 

[classic]

afridi out followed by an afrid comercial ...lol

 

[hasanb]

the main big hitters are back in the hut now...with misbah and rana left out there, good luck pakistan.

 

[Khabri420]

Wonder why the PP is being reserved.

Because there is no strategy involved. We lack thinkers

 

[PapaBear]

Afridi needs to bat sensibily atleast until we take the powerplay in the last 5 ... will he play sensibily? thats another question

you have your answer now

 

[Rana]

When misbah and yk slowed down, its just been down hill since then

 

[Juggernaut]

Misbah uncle why didn't you take power play when Akmal was in. This is poor stuff from Pakistan.

one batter left in Rana ... just take the power play after this over

 

[pak4life]

Bet we still wount take the powerplay until Ajmal comes in.

 

[PapaBear]

Now you know what Sanga was doing, trying to mentally destabilize our batsmen, and they fell for it.

 

[MIG]

Sanga not so silly now - has the Pakistanis all rattled. Smart move.

 

[karachiite]

Pakistan need to be more flexible with the power plays.

 

[rhussain33]

Okay now we got two people woh aint played their part well and its costing us putting some good runs on the board and maybe the match.

 

[ahmed16]

Bet we still wount take the powerplay until Ajmal comes in.

) ) ) Well to put it bluntly..yes.

 

[Juggernaut]

why the **** would you tell Umar Akmal to come in and just hit them ... either take the powerplay and then give him that instruction or tell him to play sensibily for 5 overs and then hit in the power plays

 

[PapaBear]

Rameez says it baffles why Pakistan dont take powerplay early.

 

[ahmed16]

Sanga not so silly now - has the Pakistanis all rattled. Smart move.

Yes the lawyer is doing his job.

 

[12thMan]

Ranbo's highest score is only 30

 

[Big Mac]

Ranadinho will save the day

 

[OZGOD]

Sril Lankans continuing to be uneccesarily aggressive, i have no doubt that sangakkara has told his guys to be like this. People like jayasuriya and jayawardene will never be like this, they are true gentlemen...but sanga has got the younger guys to follow him like a flock.

Jayawardene has a shy at the stumps hits afridis bat though and goes for 4 overthrows, suck on that one sanga.

LOL don't worry about it mate, this is what international cricket is about. It's not all flowers and melodies and everyone holding hands singing kumbaya.

 

[ahmed16]

Incredible stuff....1 run off 41st over.

 

[Rana]

i hate this choice power play rule, pakistanis just cannot use it accordingly, the will take it as soon as misbah goes!

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah please take the PowerPlay. Stop playing for yourself.

 

[coca-cola]

inshallah pakistan will still get 300

 

[PapaBear]

Misbah uncle playing for himself, wants a 50, he should have gone for his shots, and ask Umer to stay at the wicket. lets get rid of all selfish uncles.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Hey guys ,
It seems I haven't missed the demolition ( Ours that is ) )

 

[jusarrived]

Wonder why their tails are up?

never seen the lankans this aggressive , dosen make sense considering they have already won the series . T20 loss must have hurt them bad , maybe ?

 

[Juggernaut]

muhammad saad has started another stupid thread ... anyway i think it was poor instructions from the dressing room ... i mean why the hell would Umar just go out and start hitting from the first ball with 10 overs to go

 

[hasanb]

Rameez says it baffles why Pakistan dont take powerplay early.

I seriously dont think they know that they can take it earlier than the 46th over

 

[Veteran]

Bet we still wount take the powerplay until Ajmal comes in.

Waiting till all the recognized batsman are gone.

 

[MIG]

LOL don't worry about it mate, this is what international cricket is about. It's not all flowers and melodies and everyone holding hands singing kumbaya.

You vile man....

 

[Khabri420]

YK and Misbah have this habit of picking out fielders even if they've been out there for 20 overs.

Misbah playing a crap innings here.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Pretty Selfish of Misbah . Letting Umar go for the big shots while he goes for singles .

 

[Juggernaut]

take a single of the last ball misbah ... don't expose Rana

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Misbah playing selfish knock .......... **** off

 

[coca-cola]

is this a maiden? ***?

 

[Syndrome]

*** is misbah doing

 

[ahmed16]

Misbah....what the hell are you up to nearly a Maiden over

 

[pakistani]

and keeps the strike

 

[classic]

i am sure power play would have been taken when afridi had come in maybe wanted him to face an over or 2 but now situation is different

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah supporters, please explain what Misbah is doing?

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I would liked to some Fireworks from Umar................Shame on you

 

[rash]

that shows how dumb the management is, they should have taken the power play earlier instead they waited till the recognised batters are out

 

[12thMan]

5 dot balls. Can we get a sixer? No!!! shot tried to same place again and success finally. a single

 

[Juggernaut]

nothing more than 270 has been chased on this ground .... that has to be their target .... 270

 

[FM87]

Yunus is such an idiot. Instead of laughing and arguing with Rondukara he should have just ignored him. He let him easily distracted by Rondukara and soon lost his wicket.

 

[jusarrived]

Pak messed up not taking pp ~35 overs , with 7 wickets in hand ...45-50 are supposed to be slog overs anyways , why waste your pp for that ?

 

[Yossarian]

one batter left in Rana ... just take the power play after this over

Captains decision. He's might be a good player, but he's lacking in the grey matter.
First he lets Sanga disturb his concentration and he gets out.
second, he does'nt take Powerplays when batsmen are settled (Him and Misbah) with more batting to come. Leaves the PP until last few overs which other teams play like Powerplays anyway...

 

[hasanb]

Mendis goes through his ritual of making out with the ball.

 

[rhussain33]

Misbah is plaing like a ****head. idiot, costing us the match, get rid of tihs uncle... aaah

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah is such a fool

 

[Inswinger]

Misbah supporters, please explain what Misbah is doing?

What do you expect now? If he goes or the big hits and gets out then the match is over.

 

[PapaBear]

This is disgraceful leaving Pakistan's fate in Misbah's hands, last time we did it we lost 20-20 final. He is an idiot, I don't ever want him in our side.

 

[OZGOD]

SL have decided to target Pakistan with some sledging because they probably think you guys are mentally weak and easily distracted. It's the batsmen's job to ignore that and just keep playing.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Cmon Naved , show us some of your ICL experience will ya .

 

[Rana]

Misbah supporters, please explain what Misbah is doing?

What the hell is a 'misbah supporters', everyone is pakistan supporters!

ppl like you love criticism and arguement!

 

[Khabri420]

This is exactly why he doesn't belong in the team. He is not a thinking cricketer

 

[naqlipathan]

This is disgraceful leaving Pakistan's fate in Misbahs hands, last time we did it we lost 20-20 final. He is an idiot, I dont ever want him in our side.

true say

selfish, pathetic player.

 

[Khabri420]

What the hell is a 'misbah supporters', everyone is pakistan supporters!

ppl like you love criticism and arguement!

Ok we have one there, please explain Einstein.

 

[pakistani]

50 for misbah he in the team for another year now

 

[Inswinger]

SL have decided to target Pakistan with some sledging because they probably think you guys are mentally weak and easily distracted. It's the batsmen's job to ignore that and just keep playing.

Sledging is one thing. But when the wicketkeeper walks up to your face and starts yelling then it's a bi different.

 

[OZGOD]

Why are people blaming Misbah when he is still there when more illustrious teammates are not?

 

[PapaBear]

If he goes, Amir will come and hit, let this idiot get out.

 

[Khabri420]

Wow Misbah fifty wohoooo!!!

 

[Juggernaut]

true say

selfish, pathetic player.

LOL ... calm down guys at the moment he's our only hope of getting past 270

 

[pak4life]

This is frustrating and annoying this is where we shoot ourself in the foot. Can we have a coach not from the dinosaur era please?

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Misbah still has that hitting ability but he ain't going for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OZGOD]

Sledging is one thing. But when the wicketkeeper walks up to your face and starts yelling then it's a bi different.

Doesn't matter that the other team is doing, you still have to block it out. Let the match referee and the umpires sort it out AFTER the match.
