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

[adnan yasin]

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

speed is up to the mark .. best thing is . . his line and length is good

 

[azk]

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

89-90 still surprisingly.

 

[MB]

indeed.

and three for akhtar! bowling off a shorter run-up

how's the over rate looking?

Interval is at 1800 local. Time now is 1725. So 12 overs in just over 30 minutes to be bowled.

 

[pak4life]

We have struggled lately to bowl teams out hope we dont let it slip from here

 

[ZAK]

173/7 after 38 overs

 

[Vegitto1]

Malinga resembles Sultan Rahi to a very great degree.

Sultan Rahi of Ethiopia.

 

[Sledger]

This is very good captaincy by Afridi. Brings in Aamer even though Shoaib looked good - remembering to keep his promise of using him in short bursts.

 

[adnan yasin]

i think thats y akhtar was bowling few deliveries from shorter run up .. cauz of time . or he is tired?

 

[Sledger]

Over rate.

 

[AZ]

Shoiab even at 35 is better in the field than Shahzaib!

 

[ZAK]

Aamir comes back

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to go for kill and take last 3 wickets cheaply here!

We cant let Sri lankan tail wag!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir should come round the wicket to right handers.

 

[Shezada]

how many overs can a bowler ball in odis? 8 or 9?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akthar should be happy and proud of his comeback!

 

[adnan yasin]

Afridi .. should ... urge his bowlers to get back to mark .. quickly ..

 

[akbarc1]

how many overs can a bowler ball in odis? 8 or 9?

10

The captain is trying his best with the bowling changes and field placements.

 

[Khabri420]

Akhtar might as well bowl from a shortened run up

 

[Vegitto1]

Shoaibs pace mainly comes from his shoulders and his hyper-extension. The run-up probably only adds to that. Without it he can still easily hit high 80s and into low 90s.

 

[Momo]

how many overs can a bowler ball in odis? 8 or 9?

Max 8 if he is Akhtar. Otherwise 10.

 

[ZAK]

174/7 after 39 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

Afridi should bowl his over in 2 mins ... he can do hti ..

 

[Momo]

Afridi is a beastly legspinner

 

[Khabri420]

Shoaibs pace mainly comes from his shoulders and his hyper-extension. The run-up probably only adds to that. Without it he can still easily hit high 80s and into low 90s.

Exactly. Plus with us running behind on the rate, having a shortened run up would help

 

[Cover Drive]

178-7 (39.4)

 

[Shezada]

was that akhtars last over or does he get 2 more?

 

[adnan yasin]

I think he bowled it quickly ..rite on time ..

 

[Momo]

Watching Afridi bowl and captain today, I have become his fan!

 

[MB]

was that akhtars last over or does he get 2 more?

He has 2 more.

 

[azk]

Akhtar might as well bowl from a shortened run up

i think early in the game the longer run-up helps him get into rhythm. and as someone mentioned his pace comes mostly from his shoulders and hyper-extension. he has always jogged his run-up anyway rather than someone like waqar who used to sprint in.

 

[AZ]

Chinese cut from Angelo!

 

[ZAK]

177/7 after 40 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

was that akhtars last over or does he get 2 more?

akhtar should bowl his 2 over with shorter run up

 

[Momo]

Aamer having a terrible day

 

[Sledger]

Poor bowling by Aamer there. Needs to get it full and straight.

 

[LG]

Watching Afridi bowl and captain today, I have become his fan!

You weren't before?

 

[Cover Drive]

Back to back boundaries for Mathews and SL

 

[MIG]

The pace of this game is giving me a headache as are the 4s on successive deliveries

 

[AZ]

Another

Bad delivery, glanced for four.

 

[MIG]

Whats happened to our yorkers?

 

[Sakss]

2 boundries

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

what up with amer today???

 

[MIG]

Whats NZ Vs Slovakia score?

 

[adnan yasin]

I think we gave atleast 20 runs in groung fielding

 

[akbarc1]

Shahid Afridi to Kulasekara, 2 runs, 51.4 mph, around the off and middle, turned through the vacant spaces at midwicket .. and they come back for the second run.. Afridi is not happy with his fielders and says, "Kya ho raha hai yeh?!" (What's happening out there?)

 

[adnan yasin]

Whats NZ Vs Slovakia score?

its 0-0

34 mins

 

[TalhaSyed]

Whats NZ Vs Slovakia score?

0-0

 

[Sledger]

0-0.

 

[Cover Drive]

189-7 (41)

 

[Sledger]

Whats happened to our yorkers?

There's still at least 12 to come.

 

[LG]

I think we gave atleast 20 runs in groung fielding

That's an 80% improvement.

 

[AZ]

Missed stumping!

 

[Sledger]

Missed stumping. Easy chance gone begging.

 

[ZAK]

189/7 after 41 overs

 

[MIG]

Akmal has missed a stumping chance!

 

[adnan yasin]

Shahid Afridi to Kulasekara, 2 runs, 51.4 mph, around the off and middle, turned through the vacant spaces at midwicket .. and they come back for the second run.. Afridi is not happy with his fielders and says, "Kya ho raha hai yeh?!" (What's happening out there?)

did he shouted the same way .. when razzak gave the boundary ...

 

[Khabri420]

Kamrann!!!!!!!!!!! issed:

 

[Sledger]

That was a simple stumping. Shocking work by Kamran.

 

[Momo]

Akmal

Afridi had all but got his man!

 

[akbarc1]

Whats NZ Vs Slovakia score?

0-0 35 mins gone. Very poor game as expected

 

[azk]

"he has had it tough behind the stumps today"

are you serious? when hasn't he had it tough? garbage as always.

 

[*syed59*]

The CLASS of Akmal... No matter what happens, no one will replace him.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

" A keeper of Akmal's calibre should have taken that" LMAO are u kidding me who said that?

 

[adnan yasin]

That's an 80% improvement.

lol

it should improve further

 

[MB]

Geo have cut the match and are now playing the adhan...

Surely not necessary during the middle of a match.

 

[Dr. Khan]

akmals keeping pretty ordinary today

 

[MIG]

2 chances missed by Akmal - doing his utmost to make it difficult for Pakistan. What goes on in that mind of his?

 

[AZ]

For the love of God Shahid, get someone in the ring on the legside!!!

 

[Momo]

Afridi is bowling beautifully!

 

[adnan yasin]

"he has had it tough behind the stumps today"

are you serious? when hasn't he had it tough? garbage as always.

aaahah exactly ... on average out of 5 matches he is a garbage keeper in 4 matches

 

[Dr. Khan]

Afridi keeping a vacant leg-side field, something he has been doing often lately.

 

[MIG]

" A keeper of Akmal's calibre should have taken that" LMAO are u kidding me who said that?

Bloked called Shamim - Bangladeshi ?

 

[ZAK]

194/7 after 42 overs

 

[Momo]

For the love of God Shahid, get someone in the ring on the legside!!!

That's actually a very good field placing invented by Javed bhai.

 

[rhussain33]

Geo have cut the match and are now playing the adhan...

Surely not necessary during the middle of a match.

On this tvn sport, the stream from CBN, does not even contain any adverts !! how cool is that, well worth the 8 quids.

 

[kamranO]

should drop his glove instead of humilation he is giving us behind the stump

 

[hur rizvi]

Aamer hasnt looked good today

 

[LG]

Geo have cut the match and are now playing the adhan...

Surely not necessary during the middle of a match.

Am I the only one who thinks you've got your priorities wrong?

 

[AZ]

Good bowling change by Shahid, Aamer was not looking good today.
