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

[Dr. Khan]

See, why you all worried that Sameraweera is out.

 

[MB]

Shorter run up to finish the over, and he strikes! Good hold by Akmal jnr again.

 

[Momo]

Why are they catching all the balls? Am I dreaming?

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh he can be really dangerous! That's a great wicket.

 

[Sledger]

What a return for Shoaib, great catching in this match by Umar also. A lot of hardish catches made to look easy by him.

 

[adnan yasin]

another wicket ...

 

[ZAK]

Akhtar you beauty!!!

 

[azk]

pak looking a totally different team with akhtar in it.

 

[LG]

Oh, yeah!!

 

[Khabri420]

Pakistan need to keep Angela off strike as much as possible

 

[hashbb]

I loved the crowd silence

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

Akhtar Strikes !!!

hats off to captaincy!!!

 

[azk]

Why are they catching all the balls? Am I dreaming?

its the fear of bat spankings by

 

[Fawad2010]

Yesssss
bowl them out under 200

 

[ZAK]

Akhtar needs to do his famous aeroplane celebration.

 

[azk]

Pakistan need to keep Angela off strike as much as possible

they need to rock his stumps :aamir

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pakistan need to keep Angela off strike as much as possible

Why not get him out?

 

[MB]

Shahid bhai Umar ko andar kar lo

 

[Mian Hassan]

I can't believe what i am seeing... they are catching balls which you can say are not drops if they drop it...

 

[adnan yasin]

cricle fielders should be on their toes... easy singles are given aaway ..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why are they catching all the balls? Am I dreaming?

Pathan at the helm.

 

[azk]

Akhtar needs to do his famous aeroplane celebration.

perhaps if he destroys someones stumps but for now this sedate celebration seems to be a mark of his maturity.

 

[Vegitto1]

Shahid bhai Umar ko andar kar lo

for some odd reason i read that as "Umar ke andar dal do"

 

[AZ]

Oyyyeeee close one, almost snuck through

 

[MIG]

SL players deliberately taking their time against Afridi - he could be heard complaining to the umpire that they are slowingthings SL players have done their homework

 

[Khabri420]

Wouldn't hurt to get Mr. Mirza bowling from the other end to get in some quick overs

 

[ZAK]

163/6 after 36 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

oooooooooooooooh .. F***..... what crap was that by RAZZAAAK...


this is rubbbish

 

[*sallu*]

PATHETIC FIELDING (or lack of it) FROM RAZZAK

 

[MB]

Rubbish! Not even an attempted dive from Razzaq...

 

[Khabri420]

Abdul Razzaq is so useless in the field

 

[MIG]

Razzaq day dreaming while running lets through a 4 - should have made a better effort - must be off putting for the bowler

 

[Seen Sheen]

wow,razaaq looked awful there..

 

[Sledger]

Lazy jog by Razzaq.

 

[AZ]

Razzaq issed:

 

[Sakss]

i dint c the wkt ...what hapened?

 

[Vegitto1]

Akhtar dived!!!!

 

[Sakss]

ok saw it on the reply..another good catch

 

[adnan yasin]

is razaak ko field par kahan chupaain ??

 

[azk]

weakkkkkkkk. they need to keep up the intensity.

 

[MIG]

If only BW would have been alive today - to see Akhtar take a wicket off a shortened run up!

 

[Fawad2010]

Khtar leaping

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one falls to

 

[Sledger]

Akhtar has his 3rd.

 

[MIG]

Akhtar on fire with a shortened run up - Maharoof goes

 

[adnan yasin]

[AZ]

Gooooone!

Thin edge, Shoaib!

 

[Vegitto1]

Yes!!!!

 

[Sakss]

oooluving akhtar.................

 

[Seen Sheen]

again coming up with the short run up and inducing the edge..Maharoof is the latest casualty..

 

[azk]

Razzaq day dreaming while running lets through a 4 - should have made a better effort - must be off putting for the bowler

indeed.

[Sakss]

[Sakss]

another gr8 comeback for shoaib akhtar ...

thres a 3 day rest...he should be fit enough to survive the series

 

[AZ]

Kulasekara is playing?!!!

 

[Khabri420]

Need to wrap it up as soon as possible. Please don't spread the field to the tailender a-la

 

[Momo]

Reasonable comeback by Akhtar!

 

[Sledger]

Shoaib went for the yorker but it was way too wide. Easily left.

 

[adnan yasin]

Akhtar looking tired ... isnt he?

 

[LG]

And another falls!! Bring on Aamir from the other end, and finish 'em off!!

 

[Poison]

That last ball to Kulasekara, swing and pace!

 

[Down2Earth]

Akhtar looking tired ... isnt he?

when is he looking fresh?

 

[azk]

good last delivery by shoaib there. would have been his 4th if it was at the stumps.

 

[ZAK]

168/7 after 37 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

thres a 3 day rest...he should be fit enough to survive the series

aah yeah our next match is on 19 ..against.. india.. ok

hopefully no major injury . .. little butt roughness in the body will be healed by that time

 

[LG]

Btw, how's Akhtar's speed off the shorter run-up?

 

[MIG]

Slinger Bahi Jan seen padding up.... Fikar na karro abhee baree anya walli hai...

 

[adnan yasin]

when is he looking fresh?

in the night clubs only

 

[Momo]

Malinga resembles Sultan Rahi to a very great degree.

 

[Sledger]

Akhtar bowled 88 off the short run.

 

[Khabri420]

Afridi pulling a with his field

 

[Vegitto1]

Btw, how's Akhtar's speed off the shorter run-up?

touching 90 often but consistently 88 and 89
