mansoor is lucky, he is going to get out if he keeps doing what he is doing right now
 
Terrible delibvery goes for 4 dpown the leg side didnt give the desperate appealer dilshan a sniff there.
 
Lankans should be called for excessive appealing. What was that appeal about?

Its one of the worst you will ever see!
Ahh, Oxy, you've clearly forgotten the days when Kumble used to pitch the ball 3 feet outside the leg stump, the batsman would kick it away, and good old Anil bhai would ask the question.
 
Ramiz criticizing manzoor for his technique but for every batsman has his own way of batting if it works for him it does not matter how he gets his runs.

He got hammered once in New Zealand he went for 26 in one over think that dented his confidence.
I could imagine that did dent his confidence, but in Galle when he was being hit for boundaries he would still smile. I don't think that his bowling would suit all conditions, but those that swing he could very well be the 6th option. It's reassuring to know we have that.
 
When the balls moving around this much batsmen need to get onto frontfoot to try and negate the swing.

Batsmen like Manzoor, Malik have struggled when balls moved around in this game because they sit back in the crease and just poke at the ball.
 
Butt into double figures looks like his secured his place for the next match.
 
Nice and steady start to the fourth innings and the series! This match shaped up to be a good one!
 
Dont know why everyone is against Butt - he's a mighty fine batsman...
 
manzoor is a good back foot players if he can hook or pull he will do well in Aus this winter.
 
Silly run - could have been run out by miles!

What was Butt thinking of?
 
Butt - why run away from the stumps?

Have all those legendary run-outs taught you anything?
 
Lankans still not happy with the ball - its stopped swinging I think :)
 
Good ball. Manzoor going for a bit of fishing.

Great to hear Waqar back in the com box.
 
Waqar: Loose delivery, cut away, and there is a man out there, and he will probably pick up 1
