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

[Saeed]

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

Who cares, we will win now.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

No. This match is boring.

Teenagers these days.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

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

When things don't go your way it becomes boring. And when you get two wickets quickly suddenly match comes back to life. lol

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Will Pak take new ball?

 

[GreenRage]

Sri Lanka still would had been trailing if not for the fielding and the lbw.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Who cares, we will win now.

No. Misbah will look to draw this match even if he is in a winning position.

 

[Saeed]

Will Pak take new ball?

I hope they do, 1 more wicket and we enter the tail.

 

[Pantani]

Five out, all out.

Need a ton from Angelo.

 

[rooster]

Vithanage will take the game away if he stays long

 

[samplepiece]

100+ lead would be enormous here.

 

[Pantani]

If Sri Lanka had scored at a decent rate the lead would be 100 by now and there would still be an outside chance of getting 200 in front. This is why it's so important the batsmen don't tuk-tuk.

Their attitude cost them a match in UAE last time.

There's always a phase where you should tuk-tuk in tests but Silva doesn't have the ability to make up later in his innings.

 

[Big Mac]

bahahahahahahaha Vithanage you flipping moron

 

[rooster]

He's gone

 

[rooster]

Pakistan is very much in the contest now

 

[Saeed]

MAsh'allah, kya bowling hai yaar.

 

[rooster]

SL giving it away the same way they did in the first test.

 

[Big Mac]

Legit one of the worst shots I have ever seen. On a par with THAT Younus reverse sweep from a few years back

 

[Saeed]

SL giving it away the same way they did in the first test.

Give the credit where its due. This is great bowling from Yasir, he reminds me off warne.

 

[rooster]

What an awful shot.

 

[Big Mac]

There's definitely no bat on this. The angle from cover/mid-off shows it clearly hitting pad first.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a comeback by Pakistan even with wahab injured.

 

[rooster]

Give the credit where its due. This is great bowling from Yasir, he reminds me off warne.

I'm just saying they are screwing up when they are on top once again.

And No, he doesn't remind me of Warne.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Give the credit where its due. This is great bowling from Yasir, he reminds me off warne.

[MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] is that great bowling by Pakistan or Sri Lanka playing poorly? Would like to know your opinion.

 

[Big Mac]

WHAT? WHAT?

Where's the Hawkeye?

 

[Big Mac]

[MENTION=865]Big Mac[/MENTION] is that great bowling by Pakistan or Sri Lanka playing poorly? Would like to know your opinion.

I only turned the game on five mins ago so I can only comment on that Vithanage dismissal which is one of the worst shots ever.

 

[GreenRage]

We get cheated way to much who put this umpire in the elite panel worst than a club cricket umpire.

 

[Big Mac]

Seriously though, third umpire just screwed us. That definitely hit pad first

 

[Abhilash93]

Vithanage

 

[Couch Cricketer]

The camera from the angle clearly showed the bat was not near the ball. I dont get why they going to the front angle again and again when the midoff camera was showing it clearly that the ball hit the pad first. Just to put the doubt in umpires mind when the side was clearly showing the bat was away from the ball.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Another poor decision.That was not hit by bat.They showed an angle for just 2 seconds that proved this and then didnt show the angle again.Poor Poor Stuff by the Third Umpire.

To put it in simple terms

Kaushal got those wickets because Pakistan threw their wickets away but Yasir is reminding them of Warne

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

To put it in simple terms

Kaushal got those wickets because Pakistan threw their wickets away but Yasir is reminding them of Warne

Yeah. I hate double standards.

 

[#GreenRoars]

just back from nimaz, and WooW, geography of game has been changed completely.

 

[honeybadger]

I think Reiffel has lost it. How did it hit the bat? This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Saeed]

That umpire and BCCI should be sued, Pakistan gets targeted again.

 

[GreenRage]

Another poor decision.That was not hit by bat.They showed an angle for just 2 seconds that proved this and then didnt show the angle again.Poor Poor Stuff by the Third Umpire.

S Ravi elite panel what do you say?

 

[honeybadger]

Don't worry guys, they will apologize again tomorrow and it will be business as usual. Maybe Pak might even get the review back.

 

[saeedhk]

Robbed once again.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

S Ravi elite panel what do you say?

Paul Reiffel on mission here not Ravi

 

[#GreenRoars]

Reifell grudges with pakistan. pufff

 

[Big Mac]

To put it in simple terms

Kaushal got those wickets because Pakistan threw their wickets away but Yasir is reminding them of Warne

Yeah. I hate double standards.

Please show my double standards.

I'm waiting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 76 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

Second New ball taken

 

[Justcrazy]

New Ball taken

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to wrap this up quickly

 

[Saeed]

If Sri Lanka wins this, Reiffel should be awarded man of the match.

 

[Neferpitou]

Mathews 100 coming up?

Half way there. I don't know if the tail will last long enough.

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to strike here

 

[Justcrazy]

If Sri Lanka wins this, Reiffel should be awarded man of the match.

what happened ? Did I miss something ?

 

[Belawal2014]

Geez, if that had happened to one of the SL batsman, Russel Arnold would have been crying all day long.

 

[rooster]

what happened ? Did I miss something ?

Yes it's another howler

 

[Saeed]

what happened ? Did I miss something ?

He didn't give parsad out when he clearly was. Pakistan took the review for lbw and ball was clearly going to hit the wickets. But Umpire ignored one angle and decided that it wasn't out.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Yes it's another howler

What was it?

 

[adarsh_bang]

Time for pakistan to invest in a new spinner, Zulfi was a good stop gap.

 

[Justcrazy]

21 runs partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

He didn't give parsad out when he clearly was. Pakistan took the review for lbw and ball was clearly going to hit the wickets. But Umpire ignored one angle and decided that it wasn't out.

This is unfair , PCB should complaint.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sanga not playing next game.

 

[#GreenRoars]

what happened ? Did I miss something ?

Same Reiffel stuff you missed .

 

[zabalestmsm]

Time for pakistan to invest in a new spinner, Zulfi was a good stop gap.

Good point!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on misbah, bring back Yasir shah instead of Zulfi

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yasir with the new ball.. lets see

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka lead by 93 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the 1st innings


tea

 

[Justcrazy]

Same Reiffel stuff you missed .

If even after referals you get wrong decision , its really shameful.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yasir Shah had dropped a catch off Zulfiqar Babar's bowling and that too of Mathews
Just saw it in highlights ! That's not good!

 

[#GreenRoars]

yasir will break Waqar younis record or not?

 

[Neferpitou]

yasir will break Waqar younis record or not?

What record?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Congratulations to SL in advance. They will get a lead of 200 plus.. an innings thrashing on cards.

 

[#GreenRoars]

What record?

fastest 50 wickets record, Younis took 10 matches to do it. while Yasir playing his 9th match and took 49 wickets.
i hope i am not wrong

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir Shah had dropped a catch off Zulfiqar Babar's bowling and that too of Mathews

Yasir dropped a catch in first match as well.. with all his good fielder hype he is a terrible catcher.

 

[Neferpitou]

fastest 50 wickets record, Younis took 10 matches to do it. while Yasir playing his 9th match and took 49 wickets.
i hope i am not wrong

That's a given then...

 

[cricketjoshila]

S Ravi elite panel what do you say?

Decision was made by Reiffel not Ravi.

 

[Neferpitou]

Yasir Shah had dropped a catch off Zulfiqar Babar's bowling and that too of Mathews

We like to give everyone a fair chance.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The way things are going with no other potent pakistan bowler i guess he will take the rest 4 of thia innings. I dont think pakistan will bowl again in this match.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Terrific from yasir again. No runs to work with. No support from seamers. 2nd day pitch against lankan batsmen. This guy is special

 

[Abdullah]

We need to make a hundred more than whatever sri lanka make. If umpiring had been half decent it would be simple.
as it is batsman need to come good.

 

[Justcrazy]

needs to strike here , he is the key

 

[Kianig89]

Sl overtaking now 1-1 on cards
Lets pray for Rain #raindance

 

[Uzair Gooner]

Junaid bowling absolute rubbish, he should just try to block one end instead he is giving away runs for fun.
Not good enuf for me, take him off, bring Babar on
