Sri Lanka v Pakistan | WC 11 | Group A | Colombo | Sri Lanka Innings | Target: 278!

[Khan88]

I actually agree that another full time bowler (Wahab) should be in the XI but very difficult on who to drop. You want to keep the openers as they are, Kamran is the keeper, Misbah&Younis are a must...then you don't want to ruin UA's form...Afridi is captain and Razzaq is a true match winner. Tough decision.

 

[msmkt]

Yeah Kick out 1 of the Akmals....Enough of them causing run outs..Only one of them plays...1 Should be Kicked out...

 

[rash]

Inshallah we will win ....sub ek saath bolo....narai takbeer.....ALLAH HO AKBAR

 

[TigerJat]

If Pakistan do not take early and regular wickets, this will be a tough one to win, based on containing the lankans.

I am somewhat disappointed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They will surely look to attack Razzaq here with his 75mph pies as they won't worry about what happened in the 2009 T20 final where he got a fair deal of seam movement out of the pitch so will look to go hard out at him!

 

[Markhor]

Azhar speaking fluently now Mashallah.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Azhar saying what most of us have said already on here that we're atleast 20-25 runs short on here! Still lets see whats going to happen!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Azhar saying Pak 20-30 runs short.

 

[JibranAnsari]

comfortably 35 runs short and with razzaq opening Allah hi hafiz.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Razzaq and Akthar need to get some early wickets. Get jaya and sanga in early and see what they can do!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Azhar speaking fluently now Mashallah.

Loads of improvement!

 

[Digital]

Chasing under light is always going to be tough. So have some faith in our players guys. To be honest Sri Lanka bowled very well in last 10 overs.

 

[Abdullah22]

Is some one watching Star circket?

The analysts of the Sikh guest are just funny.

 

[No_Username]

Pakistan in a huge advantage, looking at Murali :
First seven overs hardly any spin
Last three overs he spun it milesssss.

Doesn't come in the UK!

 

[chui_kadoo]

I really hope that those 20-30 runs dont cost us. We need to learn from this and change the batting order around. If we are going to continue with Razzaq then he must bat up the order in these batting conditions

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lesson: don't send in Umar above razzaq in these situations because he is an idiot.

 

[TigerJat]

Pakistan, or for that matter anyone else, does not have anyone close to the calibre of murli,

All of our bowlers combined do not have as many international wickets as he does

 

[AZ]

Lesson: don't send in Umar above razzaq in these situations because he is an idiot.

WRONG!

Umar is a proper batsman, not a slogger, so don't expect him to click every day when he has no time to get set!

 

[Markhor]

Loads of improvement!

Even Marvan Atapattu is quite good too.

 

[acer]

277 is a not gud total 4 these bowling line up.dilshan hammered all them

 

[cricfan967]

277 is a not gud total 4 these bowling line up.dilshan hammered all them

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ pundits salivating over one good death over from Kula.

Wait till they see the king.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Lesson: don't send in Umar above razzaq in these situations because he is an idiot.

one of Umar Akmal, Ahmed Shezad or Razzaq need to be dropped for Wahab Riaz in the next game. Thats a must

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

You want to keep the openers as they are, Kamran is the keeper, Misbah&Younis are a must...then you don't want to ruin UA's form...Afridi is captain and Razzaq is a true match winner. Tough decision.

No need for rehman as lala is more than capable of being our main spinner, instead of him bring in a fastbowler.

 

[cricfan967]

1 minute 45 seconds till start

 

[Bullet Drive]

I sense Shoaib being a star alongside Gul. Rehman won't star for sure and this will result in Ajmal soon.

 

[No_Username]

Pakistan, or for that matter anyone else, does not have anyone close to the calibre of murli,

All of our bowlers combined do not have as many international wickets as he does

I know , what I mean is that the players will spin it more than normal, not as good as Murali though

 

[cricfan967]

And we're back

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drop Shehzad for Wahab!!!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inshallah we win

 

[Bullet Drive]

Skysports is back on.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Inshallah Shoaib Akhtar will rattle the lankan batting line up.

 

[No_Username]

Skysports is back on.

No its not!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

WRONG!

Umar is a proper batsman, not a slogger, so don't expect him to click every day when he has no time to get set!

First ball reverse sweep?

Sorry he is too cocky and needs a good talking to.

 

[SuperSportsCom]

Yeah Kick out 1 of the Akmals....Enough of them causing run outs..Only one of them plays...1 Should be Kicked out...

but that seemed to be Hafeez error. He thought to himself why should he sacrifice his wicket and didn't make an effort and hence didn't leave the crease. Had he done that he might have been saved due to the misfielding.

 

[cricfan967]

We're back! Players out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Marvan Atapattu is quite good too.

Not bad!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan jersey has to be the best this world cup

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Huddle time!

 

[amirfanforlife]

Cmon Pak... inshallah we'll win!!

 

[Khan88]

loving the huddle!

 

[*sallu*]

Huddle

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

seriously that was pathetic in the last 10 overs. Razzaq needs to be dropped now. Enough is enough. Guy cant hit a full toss now

he faced 3 balls .... so may be you should be picked for the next match .. let see if you can hit those out of the park

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dilshan v Akhtar!!!

 

[SuperSportsCom]

First ball reverse sweep?

Sorry he is too cocky and needs a good talking to.

I thought the same that he is being cocky but nonetheless he should strive to become a proper batsman and not a slogger.

 

[*sallu*]

Batsmen walk out

 

[Sledger]

Should bowl them out for under a hundred. Will help the NRR.

 

[Sledger]

Shoaib to start.

 

[jattafridi]

[cricfan967]

[Theo_14]

[mastermind_quad]

Dilshan & Tharanga @ crease now ....going to start in 2 mins

 

[No_Username]

Yeah Kick out 1 of the Akmals....Enough of them causing run outs..Only one of them plays...1 Should be Kicked out...

[JibranAnsari]

[ZAK]

The SL are openers out in the middle.

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Should win this Inshallah

 

[SuperSportsCom]

Need to keep the extras in control and with good fielding display today. We will win Insha Allah.

 

[duostyle]

[Sledger]

Too good to be true.

 

[cricfan967]

[Deewana Mastana]

Ok no....They change it to 2 slips I think!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Does anyone know why Ajmal hasn't been selected?
