Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 1st test - Day 2 | Galle | 5/7/09

[Deewana Mastana]

Terrific shot by Akmal for 4

 

[taqi]

confident aamir

 

[Momo]

One 0 too many Momo!

Oops.

Kami hits another 4

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal finds gap for 4.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aamer not interested to run there - Good thinking by Aamer

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pulls it away Akmal and 1 bounce to the fielder

 

[Momo]

Lucky Kami

deserves it

 

[spectator]

i was thinkig was arent more short balls from srilanka to kami and here comes the one

 

[CricVet]

Ohhh..what disappointment for poor saffy

 

[Momo]

Aamer is no bugger with the bat, guys

 

[Fallen King]

Mohammad Aamer somehow reminds me of Mohammad Asif as term of batting technique.

 

[spectator]

amir's defence looks good

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal going down to Aamer encouraging the young lad!

Last ball of the day probably

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 more to go

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 338/8 - Lead is now 46 runs.

 

[slix10]

...

 

[CricVet]

No fool with the bat amer. He definitely made an impressive first impression!

 

[Momo]

One more over to go. We need about 18 more today, to 'feel good'.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Paddled away for 2

Direct hit and Kami looks in trouble

 

[Momo]

Damn

 

[pak4life]

ooh thats gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal is run out

Thats the last thing we didnt want!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Akmals gone! direct hit!

 

[CricVet]

well...crap

 

[Syndrome]

damnit frigging run outs

 

[Momo]

Gone. The lead is only 47

Hard luck

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 339/9 - lead is 47.

 

[taqi]

ohh noo kami gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ajmal comes out - Will he be able to survive 5 legal Mendis deliveries?

 

[spectator]

its ovvvvvver!!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ajmal the ultimate number 11 in now.

 

[slix10]

Go Ajmal.

Our new Allrounder.

 

[taqi]

lead is only 50

 

[Momo]

Ajmal comes out - Will he be able to survive 5 legal Mendis deliveries?

Doesn't matter much. Kami is not there now.

 

[CricVet]

I had anticipated 30-50, but not at the cost of the team. darn

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

run out as a taileneder is ridculous

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 to go but SL can claim an extra half an hour

 

[hasanb]

id say 4 runs of this over and a 50 run lead id be feeling relatively good about this day.....runouts are such a damn waste.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Hard luck. But he shouldnt haev run so wide of the pitch

 

[Momo]

Go Ajmal.

Our new Allrounder.

God help us then.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak's running between the wickets as I've always said is a big cause for concern! They can't judge how hard they got to go for the 1st to come back for the 2nd!

 

[CricVet]

Alright Saj. corrected. that made me mad

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

ajmal has 2 fc 50's

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lead of 50 is decent. Get SL out for 250-300 chase 200-250.

 

[spectator]

y not kamran akmal running in a straight line???? man again a basic error...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lead up to 49 now....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Extra half an hour claimed by SL as that Mendis over would've probably been the last I guess!

 

[pak4life]

run out as a taileneder is ridculous

No it was worth taking the risk to stay on strike. On another day the throw would hae missed the stumps.

 

[Toony™®]

tbh, Pakistan have done well to get even a lead from where they were 5/2 and then 80/4

 

[Fallen King]

Mohammad Aamer was hyped as alrounder in WC u 19. Let's see if he is capable to bat

 

[hasanb]

49 runs lead it is then

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

lead 49 now

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

the last 2 partnership is greater than our opening

 

[Momo]

Will it be a blessing in disguise if we got all out soon?

 

[hasanb]

theyre playing another over...??

 

[Momo]

theyre playing another over...??

They are playing an extra half hour.

 

[CricVet]

Oh man. Amir is impressing ball after ball. Look at him some regular bats of Pakistan. Especially you that special opener!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

SL fielders diving away all over stopping that 1 run to give Pak a 50 run lead

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 run lead now!

Aamer to take the strike

 

[slix10]

Will it be a blessing in disguise if we got all out soon?

We could just declare?

 

[t_kaay]

bearing in mind we lost 2 early wickets and had a few decisions our way, I think we have done quite well....it could have been a lot worse and we have a handy lead

 

[Momo]

Lead of 50

 

[hasanb]

They are playing an extra half hour.

In that case yeah...i reckon giving SL a tricky 20 mins to bat would be good

 

[cricketpassion]

Aamir can bat better than butt

 

[CricVet]

Great Great footwork. He can be Irfan Pathan kind of bat.

 

[Toony™®]

50 run lead!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

if they can last another 5 overs over tonight and tomorrow morning

it will just wind the sl team up

 

[Toony™®]

can they reach 350?!

 

[Momo]

We could just declare?

No captain has the courage to take in so much potential abuse voluntarily.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

aaamir is hogging the strike

he is protecting ajmal

 

[MIG]

Ajmal cannot bat.period.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rameez praising Aamer

 

[Momo]

Great Great footwork. He can be Irfan Pathan kind of bat.

I seriously hope he doesn't become anything like Irfan Pathan the 'fast' bowler.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thushara is bowling a good over

 

[Momo]

Gone. Exactly 50 lead.

SL to play one over. A hat-trick for Aamer?

 

[CricVet]

I seriously hope he doesn't become anything like Irfan Pathan the 'fast' bowler.

I was gonna say irfan, then i added the word batsman not to jinx him

 

[t_kaay]

.

 

[cricketpassion]

pak all out sl will have to bat one over

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aamer gone.

Pakistan 342 All out - Lead is 50.

 

[slix10]

50 run lead.

They don't look too happy to bat.
