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

[JibranAnsari]

Junaid cant reverse swing now even. Reverse swing was his only weapon.

 

[Justcrazy]

Game slipping away from Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

I have a feeling that prasad will get a ton.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Please show my double standards.

I'm waiting.

Was not talking about you specifically. You won't disagree that some poster do have double standards here. Just wanted your opinion on pak's bowling because i am not watching it live.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Game slipping away from Pakistan

Already has slipped.

 

[Neferpitou]

Junaid cant reverse swing now even. Reverse swing was his only weapon.

He was reversing in his first spell today. Lanka negotiated it easily though. Not enough pace.

 

[Shafi]

Junaid's luck is over. 1 lucky wicket

 

[#GreenRoars]

damn lucky

 

[PCP_1]

Much better over By Yasir. seems to be getting his groove back.

 

[zabalestmsm]

its Yasir Shah vs SL only! Others must step up!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why no rain today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think Pakistan need to get rid of Zulfikar Babar after the series , Need o give zafar gohar a go now. Zulfi is clearly past his prime , you can't get any better bowling conditions than these here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

50 runs partnership.

Pakistans shoulders are dropping.

 

[adarsh_bang]

The stage is set for YK to play a classic rearguard match saving innings. Hundred number 30

Ah, fair enough ;0

I turned it on late and I'm not paying that much attention tbh, got too much stuff on so it's kind of on in the background. Bowling is tight but it's not that tough for the batsmen. If we could roll them over for less than a 150 lead then we still have a fighting chance because I don't think this pitch is hard to bat on.

Don't see a draw happening here, there's going to be a result either way.

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 116 runs

A rain can play a match saving innings for pakistan , a classic 2 day innings will be awesome.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I don't think pakistan will get to bowl again.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Zulfikar babar averages 37 now.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Yes indeed. Lanka all set to win this from the looks of things. Not as much in this pitch as was thought to be.
Pakistan decided to bat first only so they don't have to bat last.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan must be disappointed with decisions going against them

 

[#GreenRoars]

Thank you reiffel for providing us the hammering of Prasad.

 

[Big Mac]

It's all very well for the commentator to say Pakistan should have looked to wrap up the tail when we were on our way to doing that had the third umpire done his job.

What exactly happened? A plumb Decision turned down? Whose?

 

[imshally81]

Parsad

 

[imshally81]

Any Chances of Rain ?????

 

[Big Mac]

LBW appeal against Prasad was reviewed, all the replays showed it didn't hit the bat but Reiffel told the onfield umpire there was an edge and didn't bother looking at Hawkeye.

 

[Asif321]

looks a huge defeat

 

[adarsh_bang]

What a shame. This is the second time he has erred in as many days. Paul Reifel sounds like Paul 'Relief' for Mathew and team.
But then again, Pakistan hugely benefitted from a wrong decision on Mathews in game 1.

 

[adarsh_bang]

This is test cricket Yasir.
103.5
Yasir Shah to Prasad, no run, leans forward and defends the flighted delivery
Yasir showing signs of tiredness.. it's his 33rd over

getting a bit stupid now..even with DRS these guys find a way to screw us over!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Only Heavy rain can save Pakistan here

 

[PCP_1]

Hafeez strikes

 

[PCP_1]

We will probably bat today. Or maybe Pakistan not get the last man out till tomorrow morning.

 

[m.shah]

Just saw yasir has dropped a simple catch of mathews.. On what score was Mathews playing at that moment??

 

[Stallion__]

I just switched on an partnership got broken

 

[Neferpitou]

bootiful delivery from Yasir.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir shah got some vicious spin on that one.

 

[Neferpitou]

Superb follow up delivery! absolutely superb.

 

[Big Mac]

He's missed the ball by about 8 inches, so precedence tells me that this will be given not out because of an inside edge.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Just saw yasir has dropped a simple catch of mathews.. On what score was Mathews playing at that moment??

early in his innings.

He dropped a catch in last match also , not a good catcher.

 

[imshally81]

yess

 

[PCP_1]

Looks like we're going to bat anyway.

 

[imshally81]

Yasir Shah has becomes the fastest Pakistan bowler to 50 wickets.
wow

 

[chill79]

Congrats Yasir Shah on becoming the quickest Pakistan bowler to reach 50 wkts in just 9 test games

 

[imshally81]

Yasir Shah... A Legend in the making

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fastest to 50 from pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir Shah... A Legend in the making

Yah every pakistani player is a legend in making

I am missing bulletdrive where is he.

 

[PCP_1]

Lol everyone choosing to ignore Mohammad Asif even though he's on the list. Awkard.

 

[the Great Khan]

cmon lads!! lets fight the unconscious bias and get back into this game!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Still think pakistan will los by an innings. SL will wrap us up in two sessions.

 

[#GreenRoars]

awesome achievement by Yasir shah.

 

[Neferpitou]

Still think pakistan will los by an innings. SL will wrap us up in two sessions.

Nah, don't think so. Day 3 is the easiest to bat. We just need to get through the first 15 overs.

 

[m.shah]

Yasir shah going great

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar has a terrible arm.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should not bat today. Get them out tomorrow.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Look at accuracy of hafeez. Amazing.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir must be extremely tired. Too much workload.

 

[PCP_1]

Why is everyone saying Yasir has bowled 35. He's bowled 29 today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good technique for a tailender.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Junaid must be fired after this match.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lead approaching 150.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not out.

 

[m.shah]

Need to get these two quickly now

 

[PCP_1]

I'd rather they let the last batsman stay till end of play and take them out early tomorrow morning.

 

[PCP_1]

Well, this isn't helping either.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Zulfi is useless.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Told u all Zulfi is useless from the start.

Get rid of him. Average of 37+

 

[PCP_1]

Excellent bowling by Yasir.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on JK, give some help to spinners.

 

[walashi]

Finally junaid into attack

 

[Bullet Drive]

On Day 1 I wrote Wahab Riaz will be injured in match thread. Today look.

Like I said, Misbah is the WORST man manager.

 

[PCP_1]

Junaid back in and will probably get some wickets now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid and Herath have a history.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Told u all Zulfi is useless from the start.

Get rid of him. Average of 37+

Your sher Juni to join him soon.

 

[Anis]

Whats wrong with misbah?
why he isnt bowling hafeez

 

[PCP_1]

On Day 1 I wrote Wahab Riaz will be injured in match thread. Today look.

Like I said, Misbah is the WORST man manager.

It wasn't Misbahs fault wahab got hit on the hand. he probably wouldnt have played today anyway and Misbah got as much as he could out of him yesterday.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well bowled Junny

 

[JibranAnsari]

SR of 65 for a fast bowler
