Razzaq shouldn't panic, if we're going to win Asif has to survive for a bit so Razzaq should try to farm the strike but still bat normall and trust asif for 1 or 2 balls every over.

Asif can bat if hes in the right frame of mind

Asif and Razzaq now.It looks like we've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again !

tbh it's been a one man effort. Look at the scorecard.

lol Asif is a complete bunny. Razzaq needs to finish this in one or two overs here.
 
Razzaq now his to hit 4 sixes this over.

jk, but if Asif faces even one more delivery, it's game over.

Chill out. Yeah, Sanga's been a whiner since handed captaincy but this wasnt his fault. The ICC said cramps shouldn't be a cause for a runner either I believe.

"
"He [Smith] asked for a runner and the umpires took the view that cramp is a symptom of fatigue," an ICC spokesperson was quoted as saying by PA. "Being tired does not qualify batsmen for a runner under the laws of the game. "

Thats the difference bw a true sportsman and an avg one..Sanga knew conditions were tough for batting and a runner would have made no real difference ..
 
Razzaq to face the start of the over.Gotta keep strike and time the ball.Need a couple of boundaries to ease the pressure.
 
Razzaq shouldnt give Asif strike and face all 30 balls, and try and win it, if he does it, he does it, if not no probs
 
Akhtar gives a soft catch to Malinga.

I can't believe it. Now m-a-l-i-n-g-a is going to make
us look silly ?. MALINGA ?. Hello ???.

He was a medium pace carnival act. With his afro and
questionable style. We should have crushed Sri Lanka
today. All this tuk-tuk from the opening line-up and now
Razzaq has put needless pressure on us.

Razzaq should have taken one there - at least trust Asif to keep one ball out. :))
 
Razaq hasn't farmed the strike well enough. He is still in a strong position to win this if he uses his head.
 
Razzaq has been batting like as if he has been in a trance. He has just taken care that he doesn't lose his wicket. He has not taken control. Even when Afridi was limping, Razzaq didn't show any initiative. He has to take control now. Wil lhe From cric info

Sums it up

Yup if anyone deserves true sportsman spirit, it is Afridi. Sanga was absolutely correct as per regulations
 
Why is he giving Asif one to face! Taking the soft option!
 
I think Razzaq is going to wait for the last 3 balls
and hit 3 sixes. It's either that, or Razzaq is playing
in a test match in his head, somewhere.
