Sri Lanka v Pakistan | Asia Cup: Match 1 | Dambulla | 15/06/2010 | Pakistan Innings

[KingKhanWC]

Good comback from Umar and Afridi, keep it going and watch the running between the wickets.

Mahroof is bowling well. :younis

Get the target below 100 without losing more than 1 wicket and we are in the game.

 

[Poison]

This Maharoof bloke is bowling pie to Umar and bowling peaches to Afridi.

 

[Seen Sheen]

The ball is still nipping around..

 

[Strike!]

Afridi gets save again.

 

[Awesome_Username]

They should target getting to about 125 in 30 overs. That would be a good platform.

 

[ZAK]

76/4 after 21 overs

 

[azk]

decent mini recovery here although a touch lucky in afridi's case. can't wait to see how these two treat murali. i'm expecting either sixes or an awful stumping. pakistan still in this with the batting depth and hitting power to come. hell even shoaib and aamer can be expected to make a few runs.

 

[Poison]

Good sweep by Umar.

3 to Umar

The Beast is going to go after Murali.

What a six! Turning pitch, bowler with over 900 international wickets, and he charges down the track and launches it into the next millenia.

can't believe i'm saying this but afridi and u. akmal are our best batsman based on current form.

Keep going umar.

2 more to Akmal

 

[Sledger]

Afridi is a good person to bat with Umar. He tries to keep him sensible and stop with the premeditation. They seem to like batting together.

 

[Sparhawk]

Why does Umer play that shot? why does anyone play that risky a shot just for a single?

 

[Rana]

Umer Akmal is the key.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

akmal going to edge on eventually if he keeps doing that

 

[sagar]

I think this is a good example of sensible and aggressive batting displayed by the 2 batsmen here. Inshallah they will keep doing this for the rest of this match and bring us home.

 

[hashbb]

150 to win

:umarakmal loves the cut shot a bit too much.

21.5 Muralitharan to Shahid Afridi, SIX, 90.4 kph, Violence! Shahid Afridi rushes down the track and clubs the flighted off break over long-on

The guy at cricinfo appreciates violence

Ok he got 2 out of it that time

[Gollum]

Milking ones and twos...good going.

 

[Poison]

The productivity of this partnership becomes evident when you realise that we're only comparatively 10 runs behind where Sri Lanka were at the same stage. And we were 8-1 off 7 overs. lol

 

[Paradox]

This darker shade of light green (when the kit is drenched with sweat) looks better, just sayin'.

 

[ZAK]

2 more to Umar

95/4 after 23 overs

 

[Momo]

What a six! Turning pitch, bowler with over 900 international wickets, and he charges down the track and launches it into the next millenia.

The fact that Afridi can probably count only up to 80 odd might explain the fearlessness.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[Strike!]

six more.

 

[sagar]

UA is upping hiw SR quitely. very impressive I should say. I wonder where Zedman is?

 

[Sledger]

Afridi violates Murali again. Home crowd goes silent.

 

[Sparhawk]

This is madnesss!! another

 

[Poison]

This man ... is not human. Captaincy pressure? What pressure?

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

looks like afridi is going to pray namaz on the pitch

 

[Momo]

Afridi brutals Murali. Again.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I love you akmal and afridi Plz keep going sensibly.

He can appreciate another one. 6!

Afridi hitting down the ground is a very good sign of his form, let hope he makes the most of it.

[Boi]

This is a top partnership from Umar and Shahid. Both playing sensibly and getting the boundaries when required.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Slinga vs Beast

 

[Sledger]

Come on, Afridi. Take the powerplay.

Don't you get it? Afridi takes it as a challenge to hit his 6s WITHOUT the PP? Men's sixes as some call them.

 

[azk]

falling in love with afridi all over again. no homo

 

[Poison]

The fact that Afridi can probably count only up to 80 odd might explain the fearlessness.

Ahh yes forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

 

[Strike!]

Afridi's six are so fast are and brutal, It's like being hit in the face at 100 mph.

 

[Sparhawk]

Gone!!!

 

[ZAK]

Akmal hasnt hit any boundaries yet his strike rate is in the mid 70's, well done Jr

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

What a jodi this is turning to be. We saw them together during T20 WC aswell! Zabardast stuff!!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Threw it away..

 

[Sledger]

U Akmal runout by the looks of it.

Akmal gone
