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

[Sheikh_Chilli]

Waqar Younis is shifting from side to side, sucking
his upper lip in... he wishes he could jump in the
middle there. He is going to lose his hair this way.


Sheikh 'Nail Biter' Chilli

 

[pakmania]

What is the tension all about?

28 from 44 isn't exactly Herculean?

Pakistan are playing.Nuff said

 

[ZAK]

215/7 after 43 overs

 

[Rizie]

are we finally gonna win a from tense situation

 

[pakmania]

Big shout there,Razzaq looking edgy.

 

[Theo_14]

Such a tense game!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

I can't imagine how Sangakkara can call himself a sport-
man, while disallowing Afridi a runner. Shameful. They
might win this match, but the moral victory is of Afridi here.


Sheikh 'BOOoooo!' Chilli

Sanga is a loser,
Sanga is a loser

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I dont agree,field was spread,easy singles were available..Now they have to take some risks to pierce the field..

We need to bat sensibly IMO, trying to smash Malinga will lose wickets and the run rate is fine, singles will do it.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Ya Allah maddad!!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Razzaq

 

[azk]

What is the tension all about?

28 from 44 isn't exactly Herculean?

just the usual pakistani cynicism. well justified too.

 

[uzy99]

Pressure mounting just a little

 

[iRfaN_LA]

now that was a desperate appeal by Murali.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

217/7

 

[Poison]

Murali's next over will be the decider.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Aamir

 

[azk]

are we finally gonna win a from tense situation

it would be huge for us simply because of the recent trend of losing such matches. would be a turning point in pak cricket.

 

[cricketpassion]

Has Pak taken the 3rd PP yet ?

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Sanga is a loser,
Sanga is a loser

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. "

[strongman123]

aamer goes

 

[Momo]

Bhaiyo, relax! This match is in pocket (inshaallah).

 

[Poison]

Massive wicket, Akhtar can you complete the fairytale return?

 

[Rizie]

 

[Sparhawk]

whoa! i would have loved that if Pakistan was bowling, unfortunately we are batting and 8 down.

 

[Sledger]

SL right back in the game now.

 

[uzy99]

getting tougher now

 

[dilojaanpakistan]

what a bowl...shobby time..he can do it ..

 

[Seen Sheen]

We need to bat sensibly IMO, trying to smash Malinga will lose wickets and the run rate is fine, singles will do it.

Captain,thats what I said there was no need to take the power play because they were picking up easy singles with field being spread..

 

[iZeeshan]

Gotta love Pakistan.

They make even the easiest situations incredibly difficult.

Runs needed at less than 4.5 an over, 3 wickets in hand, PP time and wow.

 

[pakmania]

Aamer out.God,Malinga is so dangerous.

 

[ZAK]

 

[Khabri420]

Oh boy....come on Akhtar...you need to bat through, Asif is useless with the bat

 

[Sledger]

Great ball btw.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Aamer gone!

It's getting to tough.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ahhhhhggh

Razzzq needs to go for it now.

 

[akamaka]

razzaq needs to hit out now, or maybe tell shoaib

 

[Rizie]

it would be huge for us simply because of the recent trend of losing such matches. would be a turning point in pak cricket.

It looks like the losing strike will continue

 

[iZeeshan]

If we lose, I'm blaming it on Razzaq

Even if he's not out, I don't care

It's his fault

 

[Vegitto1]

Tense

 

[adnan yasin]

iseee ka dar tha ..

 

[Gunner786]

now its all or nothing,
no1 would blame razzaq for going ballistic and getting out in the process!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

thats baloney...cramping does allow a runner

 

[Vegitto1]

Akhtar out first ball

 

[cricketpassion]

Akhtar off the mark

 

[Momo]

If you take PP and then tell the opposition that all you are interested are in thuk thuk, well then this happens.

Must play their shots. Match is still in Pakistan's favour, if they are positive. Razzaq, start hitting.

 

[shikari]

Amir out...how difficult is it to just take singles

 

[Sheikh_Chilli]

Mohd. Aamir looks puzzled, as his bails are sent flying
by Malinga.

He was clueless today, so in a way, it's good he made
way for somebody who can do something with the ball
in his stead.

Akhtar walks in confident. First ball to him, one run. See
Aamir... that's how you DO IT!


Sheikh 'Lets Go Baby!' Chilli

 

[Sparhawk]

How many overs left from Malinga.

Razzler almost got out himself

 

[The Slogger]

Razzaq is playing a noob shot! wth was that!!

 

[Rizie]

heart in mouth

 

[ZAK]

1 to Akhtar

 

[dilojaanpakistan]

haha shobby my man doesn't even take guard..just goes there and get going...

a legend in every way

 

[Sledger]

Razzaq!

That was close.

 

[Khabri420]

Come on aq

 

[iZeeshan]

Razzaq is awful

iHate

 

[xbox]

what kinda shot was that

 

[pakmania]

God Almighty ! Skied completely !

 

[Boi]

If we lose, I'm blaming it on Razzaq

Even if he's not out, I don't care

It's his fault

A bit pathetic, dont you think? Not his fault he is losing partners at the other end.
He is playing sensibly. According to the situation.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Razzaq

 

[strongman123]

akhtar gone

 

[Sparhawk]

Gooooooooooone 9 down!!

 

[Poison]

Ahhh damn Akhtar goes

 

[The Slogger]

malinga the illegal bowler ...

 

[cricketpassion]

Akhtar gone

 

[Rizie]

OMG another loss

we are losers

 

[Sledger]

Malinga winning the game for SL.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Asif can't bat to save his life.

 

[Khabri420]

Oh boy...next comes the walking wicket

 

[Boi]

)

 

[Sledger]

Asif needs to survive one ball and not many people would back him too.

 

[Momo]

Razzaq needs to make his move now. Don't wait for the other two to get knocked over.

 

[iZeeshan]

A bit pathetic, dont you think? Not his fault he is losing partners at the other end.
He is playing sensibly. According to the situation.

Are you joking?

He's been pathetic! Look at his strike rate. He's barely taken any singles or shown any intent at all. And now he just goes and poops it all up, almost.

 

[adnan yasin]

goood slow ball ... totally decieved...


ASIF CANT BAT

RAzzaak should go boom booomm now

 

[pakmania]

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

 

[Poison]

Asif needs to survive one ball.

 

[uzy99]

Dangit!

 

[Desi]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once again.

 

[Gunner786]

its over!
akhtar gone,
dont expect asif to last the over

 

[xbox]

Razzak is a loser he should have played his stroke

 

[The Slogger]

Now, if we bat out malingas over, then razzaq needs 2-3 boundaries off next over to release pressure, thats the only chance. but razzaq needs to think carefully here.
