Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Colombo (PSS) | June 25-29 | Day 2

[Neferpitou]

Bring him on then. Thw world could use a few tall Fast bowlers!

He did play in the UAE against NZ. He is a decent bowler, nothing special.

 

[#GreenRoars]

and here we go, drop catch

 

[ViciousMachine]

Oh no... dropped. Tough chance but a chance

 

[adarsh_bang]

Dropped.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

How many catches will Azhar drop in the series.

 

[Thivagar]

Dropped lol. 52 overs 114

 

[adarsh_bang]

This batting is far too defensive. It will come back to bite us

Only day 2. Even a lead of 120 or 150 could be match winning. Not saying they shouldn't accelerate.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Time to bring Junaid on so he can rattle the batsmen.

 

[Thivagar]

Check out that top spin on Yasir's leggies

 

[Belawal2014]

Compared to Kaushal and Yasir, his action seems like casual cricket.

Kaushal's is like a hand pump

 

[Neferpitou]

Check out that top spin on Yasir's leggies

If he slows that down 5ks, he'll become unplayable.

 

[m.shah]

Dropped

 

[UpInTheAir]

Kaushal's is like a hand pump

Lol yeah I heard that. I enjoy his action, so mesmerising.

 

[cricfan14]

Azhar is not having a good series....

 

[Belawal2014]

Lol yeah I heard that. I enjoy his action, so mesmerising.

Yeah quite unique.

 

[Pantani]

Only day 2. Even a lead of 120 or 150 could be match winning. Not saying they shouldn't accelerate.

If Pakistan take two quick wickets now, SL will be all out for less than 200 because of this tuk-tuk.

 

[Belawal2014]

If Pakistan take two quick wickets now, SL will be all out for less than 200 because of this tuk-tuk.

Sri Lanka are going fine, just need to get a partnership going first, then they can accelerate.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Azhar redeems himself, great catch!! Go yasir !!!!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yasir shah strikes.
3rd down

 

[Neferpitou]

Finally hold on to one.

Yasir been bowling well.

 

[Belawal2014]

Woops, might have jinxed that.

 

[UpInTheAir]

I sense a collapse

 

[Neferpitou]

Mathews 100 coming up?

 

[m.shah]

Mathews looking to be aggressive

 

[UpInTheAir]

Yes, finally some pace.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Is reverse swing likely on this pitch?

 

[Adeel Naseem]

trunder is back

 

[Adeel Naseem]

ramiz is praise of junaid

 

[Neferpitou]

Is reverse swing likely on this pitch?

There was reverse on offer earlier.

 

[UpInTheAir]

trunder is back

His pace has been better this test.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Junaid Khan is a smart cookie. Ramiz gems. :ramiz

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Junaid Khan is a smart cookie. Ramiz gems. :ramiz

Means Android Biscuit

 

[adarsh_bang]

162 balls 49 runs. Dude! Silva! What is uppp?

 

[Neferpitou]

Ramiz opening up the thesaurus floodgates.

 

[adarsh_bang]

This is getting unbelievable!! Every single time i have mentioned how slow someone is batting, they've scored a boundary next ball! Crazy

 

[Neferpitou]

Crucial 50 from Silva.

 

[desi_launda]

tuk...tuk...tuk..

 

[Indiafan]

Junaid helping Sri Lanka score some easy runs

 

[taqi]

need to get it tight using spinners and get them out around 250-275

 

[Boxer]

need to get it tight using spinners and get them out around 250-275

100 runs lead is a big lead in this pitch

 

[zabalestmsm]

One can sense extreme happiness in Russel Arnold's voice

 

[adarsh_bang]

100 runs lead is a big lead in this pitch

They look set for a 200'ish lead here actually, Mathews is their best bat in this lineup.

 

[Boxer]

One can sense extreme happiness in Russel Arnold's voice

yes Arnold is another joke of a commentator. Sl needs to get someone better

 

[adarsh_bang]

Who is this commentator talking with Russel right now? Guy with a heavy voice.

 

[Boxer]

hope Silva gets his century : Paul Reiffel

 

[adarsh_bang]

Bowling Junaid! Looking vicious here. Deserves a wicket.

 

[honeybadger]

Don't give Mathews easy runs and he will give away his wicket eventually.

 

[Belawal2014]

Who is this commentator talking with Russel right now? Guy with a heavy voice.

Bazid Khan?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

So 1 pacer is leading the attack who relies on flukes to get him wickets?

 

[Belawal2014]

Who is this commentator talking with Russel right now? Guy with a heavy voice.

Oh I just turned it on, it's Sikandar Bakht with him.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Bazid Khan?

No, i know Bazid's voice, this is someone else.

 

[honeybadger]

Who is this commentator talking with Russel right now? Guy with a heavy voice.

Sikandar Bakht I guess.

 

[UpInTheAir]

One can sense extreme happiness in Russel Arnold's voice [emoji14]

It'll be funny if the umpires make a bad decision against Lanka. His tone changes completely.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

I am not watching match but can imagine Misbah expression when boundaries hit.

 

[Belawal2014]

Good bowling Juniii!

 

[adarsh_bang]

Oh man!! Teasing delivery by Junaid! An additional slip would have got it! Great bowling.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Sikandar Bakht I guess.

Is this the same geo sports Sikander Bhakt?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This is a sure defeat.

 

[#GreenRoars]

it seems Junaid is gonna take some wickets.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Sikandar Bakht I guess.

Actually I looked it up, it's another Sikander Bhakt, not the cricketer.

 

[Belawal2014]

Well, tight bowling here by PAK.

 

[Belawal2014]

What exactly does Kaushal do before playing the delivery.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yesssssssss! Look out!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Oh no! He is in! Damn!

 

[Pantani]

Sri Lanka are going fine, just need to get a partnership going first, then they can accelerate.

The tail starts at seven so the onus is on the top and middle order to do 90% of the runscoring. So in my opinion, Sri Lankan batsmen cannot afford to bat too slowly once the first two or three wickets have fallen. Three an over is fine, just keep the scoreboard ticking.

 

[Belawal2014]

Injuries galore or wah?

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Is this the same geo sports Sikander Bhakt?

No. other one from Ten Sports

 

[Belawal2014]

Those Pakistani caps are made of cheap material, swear clearly visible.

 

[Pantani]

Another drop

 

[imshally81]

yesss

 

[Saeed]

Most boring match I have ever seen. I hope Misbah retires after this series.

 

[Saeed]

yesss

Too late now, we have lost this match.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Most boring match I have ever seen. I hope Misbah retires after this series.

You want misbah to retire because the match is boring?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Most boring match I have ever seen. I hope Misbah retires after this series.

Its a test match. Its supposed to be boring.

 

[Saeed]

You want misbah to retire because the match is boring?

Yeah, he has ruined the positive attitude of our great team. He is probably satisfied that Lanka is playing slowly. This way he will be able to draw the match and claim all the credit.

 

[Saeed]

Its a test match. Its supposed to be boring.

You couldn't be more wrong. The last match was pretty exciting.

 

[Saeed]

Lets pray that we get them out by 260.

 

[Indiafan]

Yeah, he has ruined the positive attitude of our great team. He is probably satisfied that Lanka is playing slowly. This way he will be able to draw the match and claim all the credit.

How do you draw this match with 4 days left? Is that even possible?

 

[Saeed]

Another hell yeah. This match just came back to life, come on few more wickets.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another hell yeah. This match just came back to life, come on few more wickets.

No. This match is boring.
