Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 1st test - Day 3 | Galle | 6/7/09

[Lodhiz]

Does anyone else find the Moutain Dew advert they keep airing hilarious? Sorry, totally irrelevant but it's quite funny!

What a delivery to Butt? Pitched about middle and Butt is completely dumb-founded!

 

[On_the_up]

Pakistan can get to stumps without further loss, they will be very happy.

 

[On_the_up]

Kulu back in the attack

 

[Oxy]

How did Butt not lose his wkt then?

Great ball

Butt beaten all ends up

 

[Jedi Knight]

a jaffa by kulusekara!!!!

 

[Uzi]

Kulasekra is bowling very well.

 

[insaftak]

salman is lucky, beautiful bowling by kluskara

 

[Jedi Knight]

Maybe they should try to come down the wicket to him. he's not that fast and dilshan is standing back...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan just need one long solid partnership of 60-70 runs and we should be ok then.

 

[Oxy]

Does Butt have 'Stanford' printed on his bat SF label?

 

[insaftak]

2 more for butt

 

[Amjid Javed]

109 needed to win now!

 

[abc_to_xyz]

Can I say it again? "YOUNIS KHAN IS A FLAT TRACK BULLY"!


oh yeah?

is this suppose to be some kind of jaffa track?

MYK will do it what he does best when everyone else fail...just wait

yes, it is....


Btw, Yousuf is a world class player.... He can build innings on this track... But I'm talking about YK!

 

[Oxy]

60-2

Surely not much longer before we are offered the light?

 

[Jedi Knight]

I think the umpires are waiting for a wicket to fall.

 

[Oxy]

Umpires confer about the light - not offered to Pak - but next time they will have to offer it

 

[SwEeT CaNdY]

wow...we seem to be in a really good position....if we dont lose faltoo wktz we'll win Inshallah

 

[Jedi Knight]

cracking shot by butt

 

[Momo]

Butt thrashes one to the boundary.

 

[Oxy]

Man - Butt gets another 4!

65-2

 

[On_the_up]

Is Mendis looking dangerous?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Butt what a shot!

 

[insaftak]

107 to win

 

[Lodhiz]

Nice shot played by Butt for a boundary.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Still no light being offered yet.

 

[insaftak]

what a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 103 to win

 

[Momo]

Rangila in to bowl.

 

[JammydodgA]

Does any1 know where I can watch this online?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need 103 to win now.

 

[insaftak]

the guy with the longest name comes in

 

[On_the_up]

Cricinfo's take on it

17.6 Mendis to Salman Butt, FOUR, excellent shot by Butt, tossed it up, made room and flayed it inside-out through the covers for a boundary, has impressed today has Butt

 

[Oxy]

Rangila in to bowl.

)

He can turn it though!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is Mendis looking dangerous?

In his own fantasy world.

 

[Oxy]

Moyo edges Herath for 2 - again dodgy running by the 2

67-2

 

[saeed-sohail]

Has anyone heard this abcdef.....xyz song from hum saath saath hain?
Got its awful hate that song pure rubbish.........

 

[Momo]

M Yousaf and S Butt. Two runout KINGS playing together.

 

[On_the_up]

Rangila in to bowl.

Hearath ki baat hai...

 

[zimmz]

Butt working his butt off to fix his place in the team for another 10 test matches. Oh well in current situation I would take all these runs but please still drop him from next test.

 

[insaftak]

edge past slip, 101 to win

 

[Momo]

Yousaf dismisses one from his presence.

Target under 100 now.

 

[MIG]

ok milestone alert - 100 to go coming up...

 

[Oxy]

Big shout for LBW - Harper says NO - so it must have been hitting

 

[insaftak]

4444444444444444444444, 97 to win

 

[Sheikh]

Target under a 100 now. That's big.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Left arm spin our nemesis.

 

[Lodhiz]

And that Pepsi advert with Akram in it has sent tingles down my spine. And thats stumps on day 3, lovely.

 

[On_the_up]

With that boundary, Mohammad Yousuf's average goes above 56

 

[MIG]

Ab bhee na jeetay to phir, waqayee phainty kee baat hai

 

[Momo]

Light offered. And taken.

 

[Oxy]

3rd conference on light

They offer it to the bastman

Bad light stopped play

71-2

Pak need 97 to win

 

[Momo]

Sanga whining (for some strange reason).

 

[On_the_up]

Come on guys, no more wkts or silly run outs, I want to sleep easy tonight.

 

[Sheikh]

Lovely. Another great day of test cricket.


Our day. Aamer's day.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully Pakistan can knock off these 97 runs with out to much Alarm!

 

[On_the_up]

Come on guys, no more wkts or silly run outs, I want to sleep easy tonight.

Wish granted, should have wished for something else.

 

[insaftak]

stumps, 97 to win tomorrow, pakistan has played well so far

 

[lalaji]

yes, it is....


Btw, Yousuf is a world class player.... He can build innings on this track... But I'm talking about YK!

and who is talking about MOYO here?

I was refering to MYK

 

[Momo]

Okay I missed the whole day today.

My question: How did Butt survive???

 

[insaftak]

Okay I missed the whole day today.

My question: How did Butt survive???

i want you to miss the first session tomorrow too

 

[Momo]

Hopefully Pakistan can knock off these 97 runs with out to much Alarm!

Inshaallah.

The weather seems to be okayish.

 

[saeed-sohail]

good day for pakistan again I would have taken this position before a ball was bowled in this test.

 

[Momo]

i want you to miss the first session tomorrow too

)
Okay.

 

[Lodhiz]

Okay I missed the whole day today.

My question: How did Butt survive???

Bribes.

 

[zimmz]

My question: How did Butt survive???

He used his butt to stop the ball but BBW is not out in rule books

 

[pak4life]

This has been a great test match not had one dull session. Plenty of wickets and runs and inshallah a pak win to finish it off

 

[Momo]

Aqib Javed on. I hope he doesn't repeat that youtube thing.

 

[On_the_up]

Insha Allah, Pak to get back to winning ways in test cricket, wasn't the last victory in South Africa 12 games ago?

 

[Momo]

Aqib talks quite decently. English is okay too.

 

[lalaji]

Aaqib Javed still look in good shape....i'm sure he can still play for indian team..

 

[lalaji]

Aqib talks quite decently. English is okay too.

i agreee...he is not taking any credit, unlike many other pakistanis....he is giving all the credit to Aamer/Ajmal and others..

 

[Momo]

Aaqib Javed still look in good shape....i'm sure he can still play for indian team..

Brilliant!

 

[AZ]

good batting by the openers, was really gutted to see Khurram get out, he was really playing well...and of course fantastic bowling from the lads and great leadership shown by YK

 

[RexRex]

Aqib Javed on. I hope he doesn't repeat that youtube thing.

whats that ?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Man that 90s team had decent english barring Inzi that is.

 

[undisputed]

Yousuf is looking good, younus doesn't see right. Manzoor needs to be dropped, alam

 

[lalaji]

Yousuf is looking good, younus doesn't see right. Manzoor needs to be dropped, alam

well MYK must having been working on he bowling....

 

[Romali_rotti]

Once again Pak seem on their way to a possible series win again in Sri Lanka... Well Done to the boys, what a turn around in Pak cricket. If a fit Asif and a possible butterfingerless Akmal scenario is attached to this current Pak side they will be very, very hard to beat no matter which opposition they play...

 

[Mohsin]

Man that 90s team had decent english barring Inzi that is.

But Bismillah, Assalamualaikum all the boys play well in 90s

 

[siccric]

Pakistan's day again, this time more convincingly

Inshallah we'll be able to wipe out the remaining runs in the first session alone tomorrow. This has really been a great test match, apart from some terrible umpiring

MoYo can hopefully remain unbeaten and get the MOTM as well

Can anyone confirm how long it's been since Pakistan won a test match , let alone a series?

 

[Momo]

Once again Pak seem on their way to a possible series win again in Sri Lanka... Well Done to the boys, what a turn around in Pak cricket. If a fit Asif and a possible butterfingerless Akmal scenario is attached to this current Pak side they will be very, very hard to beat no matter which opposition they play...

Both are impossible.
