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

[Afridi_Fan]

scores level.

 

[Syndrome]

yousuf gone...run out -_-

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's out

 

[shabbu1]

hes out

 

[hasanb]

ah no....that was very very stupid...useless waste of a wicket

 

[CricVet]

Yousuf RO nth times :<

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Moyos run out! poor Running!

 

[Sheikh]

No need for that run! Malik you doofus!

 

[pak4life]

Silly run who's call was it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was the need for such a run? Is Malik to blame as he ran first?

 

[CricVet]

what a gimmmey

 

[Momo]

This is a BIG loss.

Useless!

 

[hasanb]

he might blame shoaib malik for the runout lol but a great innings.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Huge blow for pakistan and could be pivitol in this game.

Pakistans lead is only 2.

Akmal pakistans last recognised batsmen in now.

 

[spectator]

dreams of 450 over. they should reach 400 from here on.

 

[slix10]

No worries.

He was tired.

We still got Akmal.

 

[CricVet]

Malik's call. Oh well. Don't skin him for that. Yousuf was tired. Happens

 

[slix10]

he might blame shoaib malik for the runout lol but a great innings.

Lol.

Malik gets even 2x

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Given a wicket away just like they did last evening where they gifted away 2 wickets! Saying that hope that these 2 now can stay there and see through the last few overs left today! InshahAllah

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

nahiiiiii yousuf gone lekin Kami is there....hes really a Cheetah at batting

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal beaten 1st ball

 

[Momo]

Very poor running. He wasn't expecting the ball to come to his end it seems.

 

[spectator]

when do we learn the basics of running between wickets. its moyo's fault

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Big appeal going down the legside NOT OUT

 

[siccric]

This might cause a rift in the team

Unfortunate blow to end a really classy innings from MoYo, but spectacular effort from both him and Dilshan. I didn't expect MoYo to re announce himself so well

he was lucky at certain stages but overall he played brilliantly

Hopefully Akmal and Malik can extend the lead considerably

 

[t_kaay]

he should have got himself in the way of the throw of the ball.....not a good run but he did his job and we shouldn't start blaming anyone

 

[CricVet]

One thing is for sure. This is not gonna be a fight for sessions now. These 2 will score if get the opporunity. From this point on, Pakistan will either cruise or bust.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

no way - that was just silly. no need to be getting run out

ah well, here's hoping Akmal can get a decent knock in and get us a healthy lead

 

[Amjid Javed]

Have to say Dilshans throw was superb, if you want to be critical you could say why didnt moyo run straight rather than diagonally?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good shot to get off the mark Kamran Akmal


4 runs

 

[CricVet]

4

 

[Momo]

What a cracker !

Kami hits a four

 

[Mercenary]

What was the need for such a run? Is Malik to blame as he ran first?

There was an easy run there, Yousuf was running lazily and not stretching his bat ahead of him

 

[Momo]

Lead by 7

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 299/6 - Akmal retains the strike.

 

[slix10]

7 more overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

299 for 6 after 83 overs

 

[Momo]

450 is on (Inshaallah)

 

[siccric]

Have to say Dilshans throw was superb, if you want to be critical you could say why didnt moyo run straight rather than diagonally?

Yeah, he's been around long enough to know you can cover the stumps with your body

but then he played well and looked very tired. Moon even wiped MoYos sweat off with his gloves

 

[Amjid Javed]

There was an easy run there, Yousuf was running lazily and not stretching his bat ahead of him

Lazily? hes been out in middle batting most of day maybe a lil tiredness.

 

[Momo]

Revision: I will take 442

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal plays and misses a couple of times!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There was an easy run there, Yousuf was running lazily and not stretching his bat ahead of him

Fair enough but when everyone knows that he's a lazy runner and plus he's been on the crease for such a long time he was bound to be tired aswell! But if he made a bit more an effort he might have got there!

 

[Momo]

Chinese cut for fo
Go kami go

 

[slix10]

Kamran can't see?

Lucky 4.

 

[hasanb]

the ball seems to be keeping quite low here, might be an encouraging sign for when we bowl at the sri lankans....also a dangerous sign for when we bat last though!

 

[taqi]

lucky 4 for kami

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal chops one past his stumps and goes for 4!

 

[CricVet]

well please, those crying (changed)about luck (including commentators), SL was very lucky at times as well. Too bad it is part of cricket.

 

[Toony™®]

7 more overs.

14 more no?

 

[taqi]

excellent over from Tushara

 

[Momo]

Lead by 11

 

[t_kaay]

all this complaining about his running...have you allk forgotten it was his 1st game back and he made 100??? lets move and get 400+, I think we can do it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lankas bowlers bowling well and not much luck!

 

[Momo]

all this complaining about his running...have you allk forgotten it was his 1st game back and he made 100??? lets move and get 400+, I think we can do it.

Inshaallah we will make 442.

 

[Sheikh]

New ball does a bit for about 8-10 overs. Then it dies down.

 

[slix10]

Kami laughing with Sanga.

 

[slix10]

Malik bowled.

 

[CricVet]

malik goes

 

[Momo]

Malik cleaned up

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik gone! was coming!

poor technic and no footwork!

 

[spectator]

gone with the wind!!!!!!!

 

[Toony™®]

Inshaallah we will make 442.

I will take 350 or even still batting end of the day!

 

[CricVet]

For those trying to open with him, look close please.

 

[Sheikh]

Malik all at sea. Double blow, game suddenly even again.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bye Bye to the big lead

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik should have been coming forward! For a well set batsmen to get out that way is poor!

 

[taqi]

making a mess of it

 

[hasanb]

dear oh dear its not looking good now...lets just get to 350 and take it from there...

 

[MIG]

surival is the name of THE game....

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ramiz raja saying embarassing, lame just shut up! It was a great ball.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Apart from Gul the last 2 batters are rabbits so Akmal needs to attack.

 

[Momo]

I will take 350

I too (post Malik)

 

[slix10]

Tail is in.

Ball is still troubling Kam.

 

[t_kaay]

kami should treat it like a T20 innings now....all the field is in.....start thumping the boundaries

 

[slix10]

Ramiz raja saying embarassing, lame just shut up! It was a great ball.

It was a good ball, but some weird footwork by Malik.

 

[CricVet]

Kamran getting ready for some shots i see.

 

[Momo]

Kami gets two.

 

[spectator]

kami not looking to block everything

 

[CricVet]

He is definitely going for it. Go kami.
