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

[Seen Sheen]

first ball 86 kmh i dont believe it

bhai jan,it was a slower one..

 

[azk]

speed gun is being screwy. even the third ball seemed faster than 76 mph.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Great bouncer. :aamir

 

[kamranO]

Is shoaib akhtar bowling goood

 

[IAJ]

is speedo correct?

 

[Friend786]

maiden

 

[Cover Drive]

It was well fielded as pe Pakistans standard. I wonder who was this

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Maiden over.

31/0 in 6.

 

[iafzal]

Maidan from Aamir!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Maiden first up from Mohammad Aamer.

Boss.

 

[Strike!]

Excellent start from aamer. Why the hell did they open with asif?

 

[azk]

bhai jan,it was a slower one..

that certainly wasn't a 53.7 mph delivery

 

[Dr. Khan]

Aamir cheetah lagaah hai - maiden.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Aamer is quite slow compared to akhtar


No competition

no he's not ,both hit late eighties and early nineties

 

[Cover Drive]

First madien by Pakistan and Aamer!

Boy he seems to get better and better!

 

[Sledger]

Speedgun is obviously wrong from Aamer/Asif's end. They've got it on Indian setting.

 

[ZAK]

Maiden over by Aamir

31/0 after 6 overs

 

[Friend786]

bhai jan,it was a slower one..

u kidding me ) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good slower one.

 

[Friend786]

good slower one from shoaib

 

[Cover Drive]

GOod slow yorker by Akhtar. Was on target!

 

[ZAK]

Good slower ball by Akhtar.

 

[azk]

Excellent start from aamer. Why the hell did they open with asif?

agreed. would have been pressure from both sides. especially on someone like dilshan.

epic slow delivery from akhtar. love it

 

[iafzal]

Akhtar toiling in for the 4th over but no redemption yet

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

mohammed aamir u beauty

 

[Friend786]

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Cover Drive]

Gone!

 

[Strike!]

Gone!!

 

[Fawad2010]

horayyy

 

[ZAK]

 

[Seen Sheen]

[slix10]

Outsayyyy

 

[Sledger]

The Don gets the wicket.

 

[adidazz]

Butt Catches Hahaha

 

[adarsh_bang]

actor strikes and smiles come on shoaib

 

[hur rizvi]

RAwAlpindi express ..............


Shoaib is back

 

[Khabri420]

Akhtar gets his comeback wicket

 

[azk]

Speedgun is obviously wrong from Aamer/Asif's end. They've got it on Indian setting.

maybe the wind?

and AKHTARRRRRRRRR

that's the result of the pressure created from both ends.

 

[iafzal]

Redemption finally Akhtar strikes but huge news is VC caught the ball just amazing stuff

 

[Dr. Khan]

good on you shoaib - comeback wicket.

 

[Strike!]

mohammed aamir u beauty

look again.

 

[Cover Drive]

Tharanga gone for 11!

For a moment I thought Butt dropped it as usual

 

[slix10]

mohammed aamir u beauty

Akhtar**

 

[Friend786]

butt almost dropped it

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And actually caught that. This wicket should go to rather than

 

[amar1212]

lol Salman almost dropped that...see what the presence of akhtahr does to the players haha

 

[saeed-sohail]

Slam bhaiyo aur behno.SL playing well but wth Ajmal bas been left out.

 

[IAJ]

Huh what is salman doing in the slips, he was about to drop it, but good catch in the end

 

[bantu]

Akthar gets tharanga .......................OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT..............

 

[Seen Sheen]

and the unbelievable part of that dismissal was that it was who took the catch..

 

[kuthaman]

 

[Cover Drive]

Here comes Sangakara!

Surprised to see him not wearing an Ayrtek lid! Wonder what happened

 

[Afridi_Fan]

mohammed aamir u beauty

I agree, he is a beauty.

But Akhtar got the wicket.

 

[kamranO]

ut

 

[adarsh_bang]

that delivery grew big on him. . . Man these tharanga's and dilshan's are no match for him . . He can make ponting look like a sitting duck

 

[Sledger]

Salman.... )

 

[IAJ]

This is the most moderate celebration Ive seen of Shoaib, plane ki hawwa nikal gai hai it seems

 

[kamranO]

 

[JeeraBlade]

I don't know what is more amazing ---- Butt taking a catch or Akhtar taking a wicket in his 4th over or Shoaib still bowling his in his 4th overs!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Slam bhaiyo aur behno.SL playing well but wth Ajmal bas been left out.

Lets the criticism begin.

 

[azk]

lol Salman almost dropped that...see what the presence of akhtahr does to the players haha

its the fear of possible bat spankings by

 

[kamranO]

6.3
Shoaib Akhtar to Tharanga, OUT, Shoaib smiles. He spreads his arms. He doesn't run to nowhere like he used to do. Just stands there and walks towards his team-mates. Times they are changing. It was a short delivery outside off and Tharanga went for the upper cut but edged it to first slip.

WU Tharanga c Salman Butt b Shoaib Akhtar 11 (16b 2x4 0x6) SR: 68.75

 

[Friend786]

this should be the last over in this spell for shoaib

 

[Sledger]

Akhtar should be taken off now (unless he picks up one more wicket). 4 overs is enough for a short burst.

 

[cricwiz]

Butt a slip catcher

 

[Dr. Khan]

Is it me or does he seem to be limping

 

[Cover Drive]

Another madien over but this time wicket madien!

 

[amar1212]

zabardast!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I don't know what is more amazing ---- Butt taking a catch or Akhtar taking a wicket in his 4th over or Shoaib still bowling his in his 4th overs!

Now all of these things are unbelievable. I do agree, its hard to know what is more amazing.

 

[Friend786]

good bouncer ! a wicket maiden !

 

[adarsh_bang]

Pressure from both ends .but this will probably be akhtar's last,so who after him ??to keep up the pressure for amer ?

 

[Fawad2010]

this should be the last over in this spell for shoaib

agreed, he needs to cool down

 

[UmarAkmals-fan]

Shoaib smiles. He spreads his arms. He doesn't run to nowhere like he used to do. Just stands there and walks towards his team-mates. Times they are changing

classic cricinfo commentary )

 

[ZAK]

Good bouncer by Shoaib to finish the over.

31/1 after 7 overs

 

[Cover Drive]

If Akhtar plays all matches in Asia cup with anything fitness issues then he will be back in groove and will be ready for England tour.

 

[kamranO]

enough over from should bring in A.Razzaq

 

[Seen Sheen]

Akhtar should be taken off now (unless he picks up one more wicket). 4 overs is enough for a short burst.

I would give him one more over against Sangakkara..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What a shot that is.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Shoaib is still the best pacer in Pak when fit.
