Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Colombo (PSS) | June 25-29 | Day 4

[MRSN]

gonna pull an all nighter today and watch till sehri

specially took a night nap so hopefully good day of cricket. FOR US!!

I don't wanna ruin your fun. but what is so good about tuk tukking all these overs when ball isn't doing much? It will comeback to haunt us. Negative cricket always does. they need to score some runs. blocking everything will never do.

 

[ahanank]

Misbah is just showing how he can never be a match winner. He just doesn't have it in him to play those special innings.

Yes...he played one against Sri lanka in 2014.
The guy who scored the joint- fastest test century.
Yes. Dull.

Are some people just born like this slow in the head or are they just trolling? I mean everyone can see that this is a test match and not t20? Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're trolling.

 

[cricfan14]

Just getting stuck being there on pitch doesn't mean anything, they need to count their stay by scoring runs which they're not doing at the moment.

Seriously, do you understand Test cricket at all? Because I think you might be better off watching CPL or other T20 matches...

 

[Abdullah719]

Looks like the resident arm-chair experts are out in full-force. "Must attack the new-ball!" OK.

 

[imshally81]

Great going by Pak

it's amazing isn't it. I think we are wasting time by watching these two tuk tuk these whole overs. I don't think they are looking for a win here. They have wasted so many precious overs.

If you take a look at his post history you will notice a certain pattern when it comes to a certain player...

the new ball is on

they prolly just wanna see it through and blunt it without any risk my bet is

good call maybe cuz if we lose one here a line could follow

 

[imshally81]

I think... Mathews is more effective with the old ball

Sharjah 2014?

 

[Neferpitou]

Pathetic cricket by Pakistan..just showing minnow mentality. 26 runs in last 10 overs it's just dull batting. They are already looking for a draw instead of playing positive cricket and look for an outcome.

Relax. We need a platform to launch from, around 125+. If we start attacking now, couple of wickets and this game is finished. They're doing the right thing tiring the bowlers and taking what's being given.

lol. Bro, this isn't T-20. I think you're tuned into the wrong channel.

Oh...right. That makes sense.

 

[Slog]

riskyyyy

 

[uberkoen]

wow. The haters are out in full force today

 

[Man Of Steel]

Seriously, what are you on?

A) We are 1-0 up, I think we already have a pretty good shot of winning the series

B) There are 76 overs left today, even if we tuk tuk along at 2 rpo that leaves Sri Lanka having to score 200 on the fifth day on a pitch that is finally starting to misbehave a tiny bit.

200 isn't enough on this pitch, atleast 300 is gonna test SL batting line up, 1-0 is good but series win is more important, what if SL wins the final test and series ends in a draw? They should go for the kill NOW don't let lankans back in the series!

There is time for action and there is time for diplomacy. Why they want to go after bowling just before Lunch and with a new ball?? - It would be crazy... There is still lot of time left in this match.

 

[ahanank]

Sharjah 2014?

THIS.
But, he probably won't reply to this.

I guess you're lucky admins wont let me call out the stupidity in some of these posts but you really need to try and understand the game before you start criticizing someone.

 

[Belawal2014]

Misbah is just showing how he can never be a match winner. He just doesn't have it in him to play those special innings.

That's why he's there on the field, and you're behind your computer.

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan is one big partnership away from winning this test.

 

[Abdullah719]

Yes. I wish our batsmen batted like Vithanage.

200 is enough.
Do you even know that scoring 200 is pretty good after trailing by 150+ runs?

 

[Slog]

I get a sense that some people think we are in pole position lol

We arent and we need to play safe cricket first and later we can go for the win.

a collapse here in search for quick runs means we lose. Need to see out the new ball

if these guys are around by teaa they can make a quick dash in the last session and of course Sir Faraz would be tailor made for that

 

[honeybadger]

What a party pooper that umpire.

 

[Abdullah719]

lol. Bro, this isn't T-20. I think you're tuned into the wrong channel.

I believe was playing earlier today (or yesterday). Ah, the effect of being Lalafied.

Cool, best way to put Sri Lanka out of the game is to attack the new ball when we're 50/4. Great thinking.

 

[Man Of Steel]

This could well be series defining moment if Pakistan get through this!

 

[imshally81]

Misbah the new Younis khan

 

[imshally81]

4 finally

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[#GreenRoars]

Misbah

 

[Big Mac]

Misbah gone. He's reviewing it but it looked pretty out at first glance.

 

[imshally81]

Review

 

[#GreenRoars]

review taken, let's see

 

[Slog]

Should review.

Just might miss lef but i think decision will stay

 

[imshally81]

Unlucky

Sir won't succeed everytime, he's bound to have a failure!

 

[Justcrazy]

Review , Misbah in bother

 

[Slog]

i think it will clip the bails

 

[Big Mac]

I guess now Shafiq will come in and bat at a run a ball like some people are demanding

 

[Neferpitou]

FTB gone.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Unlucky

 

[Slog]

well thats the plan gone

Asad played a great innings last test

hopefully he can carry on the form

 

[ahanank]

Well, we are kinda screwed now.
Misbah is usually the glue that holds the innings together.

 

[uberkoen]

Very unlucky.

 

[desi_launda]

5 wickets left
Could be interesting game

 

[Lurker_Ind]

I don't like this umpires call at all when using DRS. Either trust in DRS completely or don't trust.

That should be not out.

 

[Big Mac]

Great bowling to be fair.

 

[uberkoen]

well thats the plan gone

Asad played a great innings last test

hopefully he can carry on the form

We've got Azhar Ali going strong. Asad Shafiq can hold up the other end with Sarfraz to still come on.

Don't give up hopes yet.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four down now.

 

[Big Mac]

I don't like this umpires call at all when using DRS. Either trust in DRS completely or don't trust.

That should be not out.

Nah, benefit of the doubt goes to the umpire. It's fair enough imo.

 

[imshally81]

Where is the rain?

 

[uberkoen]

I don't like this umpires call at all when using DRS. Either trust in DRS completely or don't trust.

That should be not out.

Agreed. That's rather silly.

 

[Man Of Steel]

57/5 in real time thats why they should've attacked the older ball, one more wicket will be curtains for Pakistan.

 

[Slog]

Need these 2 to stay till tea. doesnt matter run rate

 

[The_KING]

Need a 100+ partnership between these two

 

[imshally81]

Azhar Ali stucks in 80s

 

[yasir]

Where is T20 brigade? - Are you guys happy?

 

[Abdullah719]

I don't like this umpires call at all when using DRS. Either trust in DRS completely or don't trust.

That should be not out.

Yes, let's forget common sense and give that not-out on the basis that it's hitting the wicket.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Don't want to beat the conspiracy drum at all, but isn't the ball supposed to hit the stumps atleast 50% to be given out?

 

[Big Mac]

57/5 in real time thats why they should've attacked the older ball, one more wicket will be curtains for Pakistan.

Yeah because the extra 10-15 runs would have made all the difference.

 

[uberkoen]

Azhar Ali stucks in 80s

That was a good era.

 

[uberkoen]

57/5 in real time thats why they should've attacked the older ball, one more wicket will be curtains for Pakistan.

Is this the first time you're watching a test match? Tell me honestly.

 

[Neferpitou]

Don't want to beat the conspiracy drum at all, but isn't the ball supposed to hit the stumps atleast 50% to be given out?

Only if the field umpire gives not out.

 

[Big Mac]

Don't want to beat the conspiracy drum at all, but isn't the ball supposed to hit the stumps atleast 50% to be given out?

To be given conclusively out yeah, if it's less than that then it's Umpires Call.

 

[Slog]

Don't want to beat the conspiracy drum at all, but isn't the ball supposed to hit the stumps atleast 50% to be given out?

umpire decision stands if the ball hits any part of stumps.

but if umpire had given not out then if ball hit more than 50% then he would be out

 

[Abdullah719]

Don't want to beat the conspiracy drum at all, but isn't the ball supposed to hit the stumps atleast 50% to be given out?

Umpires call. Clipping the stumps/bails by any margin works.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Yeah because the extra 10-15 runs would have made all the difference.

more like 50-55 if they were being positive.

 

[yasir]

Both YK and Misbah looked unconvincing against pacers. How they can lead in 12 months of tour to green land next year??

 

[Slog]

To be fair Prasad is bowling one heck of a spell here

 

[honeybadger]

What has Prasad turned into?

 

[The_KING]

This prasad is a fine bowler

 

[Slog]

by

 

[Neferpitou]

Much needed runs.

 

[imshally81]

That was a good era.

I mean.. In terms of score.. Not years

 

[naveed4687]

They are going nowhere , need to score bit quickly, or they might find themselves with a lead of 100

 

[m.shah]

Sl bowling beautifully here

 

[Mir jibran]

misbah should retire after this series
harris should replace him
