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

[Kianig89]

Azhar today playing like he use to back in 2010 shaky nervy stuttering

 

[Madplayer]

We will only know how hard it has become to bat on when sl bat

 

[Man Of Steel]

Time for Babar to finally take some wickets. Has been awful in his test career. He needs to step up today and take a 5-fer.

Come on Pakistan.

Not working anymore, we're doomed!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why oes prasad reminds me of fernando?

 

[Madplayer]

Risky running

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[desi_launda]

Massive wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

Really disappointed in the two seniormen of the team , didnt do jack.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Azhar ali
good knock

 

[Madplayer]

Poor batting from azhar here. Got out when he needed to stay there. Overall a decent innings.

 

[WrexEverything]

We only have one wicket after that , wahab won't bat. Shielding one wicket does not mean anything.

Forgot Wahab won't bat. You're right. azhar needs to shield.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Terrible

Thrown away this test.

 

[MSaad1237]

Damn, match is over ...

 

[uberkoen]

Need to get 70 to 80 more on the board at least. Babar needs to hold on to his wicket like his life depends on it.

 

[Man Of Steel]

haha mediocre batsman finally out!

 

[WrexEverything]

Badly lacked support. Top knock.

 

[JibranAnsari]

the end

 

[Pantani]

Finally a wicket for Herath, and what a huge one!

 

[uberkoen]

Nevermind. Match lost.

 

[m.shah]

8 down

 

[Pantani]

haha mediocre batsman finally out!

That's so unfair. Azhar made a century in difficult conditions. What were the other batsmen doing? Getting out to harmless deliveries from Prasad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

So disappointed with them today.

YK and Misbah were absolute terrible as was Hafeez.

3 seniors did nothing.

 

[Zeshan547]

When is tea?

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic from Azhar played like a tailenderr

 

[Man Of Steel]

Wasted a lot time and energy, and for what? get out when the country needs you!

 

[Madplayer]

I think its better if the tail tries to hit out. No point trying to survive because they cant.

 

[Executioner]

haha mediocre batsman finally out!

The mediocre batsman that saved Pakistan from an innings defeat and nearly made a match despite having the walls against their backs

 

[Bullet Drive]

170 lead match winning maybe???

 

[imshally81]

Oh wahab is ready for bat

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab is gonna bat

 

[Pantani]

So disappointed with them today.

YK and Misbah were absolute terrible as was Hafeez.

3 seniors did nothing.

I wasn't watching earlier in the day, but Younis did make 40, a reasonable score. Why do you think he failed? I won't argue with Hafeez and Misbah.

 

[Kianig89]

Any chance of Abu Dahabi 2012 :rondu

 

[#GreenRoars]

170 lead match winning maybe???

Rameez and Baz saying same

 

[m.shah]

Game all set to finish today

 

[shah_1]

Well played Azhar but I blame Shafiq and Sarfraz for playing reckless shots

 

[adarsh_bang]

Not sure if its a good idea to further risk aggravating Wahab's injury by making him bat? What do you guys think?

 

[Madplayer]

Herath and azhar have faced each other 6 times in tests and herath has got azhar 6 times

 

[Pantani]

I think its better if the tail tries to hit out. No point trying to survive because they cant.

Yeah, a few lusty blows and the lead might suddenly swell out to 170, and you never know what'll happen in the fourth innings.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Wasted a lot time and energy, and for what? get out when the country needs you!

Nice way to appreciate the best batting innings in this match. Well done. How dare he get out? 'When his country needs him'? very nice analysis.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Herath and azhar have faced each other 6 times in tests and herath has got azhar 6 times

i think 8th time

 

[Madplayer]

Not sure if its a good idea to further risk aggravating Wahab's injury by making him bat? What do you guys think?

I agree. If incase they decide to send him in, he should be told to just defend and let the other tailender try to hit.

 

[Man Of Steel]

Atleast make it 150.

 

[JibranAnsari]

JK silva decision probably will be the difference in the end.

 

[Shafi]

Can Wahab bat at least?

 

[Madplayer]

i think 8th time

The commentator mentioned 6 times.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Can Wahab bat at least?

yes he is ready for batting

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not sure if its a good idea to further risk aggravating Wahab's injury by making him bat? What do you guys think?

Not worth it. This can severely affect his recovery time.

 

[shah_1]

Stop blaming Azhar

The blame is on Asad and Sarfraz

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rain never arrives when we need it , stupid rain.

 

[#GreenRoars]

The commentator mentioned 6 times.

visit this one, http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/s...-times-Rangana-Herath-has-dismissed-Azhar-Ali

and one today, so i guess 8 times.

 

[MSaad1237]

We need to get to 200, somehow ..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Stop blaming Azhar

The blame is on Asad and Sarfraz

Younis and misbah.

 

[JibranAnsari]

its a shame younis 100th test will be a sad one.

 

[m.shah]

2 runs

 

[PCP_1]

Whats all this talk about Restorrents and BBQ that too during Ramadan.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Not worth it. This can severely affect his recovery time.

Exactly. He's a vital cog in LOI's! Champions trophy spot is at stake. This test match could be a lost cause already.

 

[#GreenRoars]

this outfield

 

[Justcrazy]

Just a formality left

 

[Man Of Steel]

170 lead match winning maybe???

Even 270 is not enough with the bowling lineup we have at the moment barring Shah!

 

[adarsh_bang]

I agree. If incase they decide to send him in, he should be told to just defend and let the other tailender try to hit.

They shouldn't send him at all. He's needed ore in LOI's, champions trophy spot is on stake!

 

[Pantani]

These are useful runs for Pakistan.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Make it to 200 boysssss

 

[#GreenRoars]

here we go, young gun of Sri lanka

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Stop blaming Azhar


The blame is on Asad and Sarfraz

The blame is on all the Batsmen for their pathetic display in the first innings

 

[MSaad1237]

These runs are bonus runs for us..

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[shah_1]

Younis and misbah.

Younis did his job, scored 40 runs and Misbah got out to a good ball. Parsad bowled really well and deserved Misbah's wicket. Asad and Sarfraz played poor shots, simple is that.

 

[RehanG]

what the hell was that??

 

[Saeed]

150 is quite respectable total if the pitch is what Pakistan is making it look like.

 

[shah_1]

Outtt

 

[RehanG]

has he got any brain?

 

[#GreenRoars]

and 9 down . Junaid gone,
and here we go, Wahab is On

 

[Pantani]

Yorker please Dushmantha

 

[PCP_1]

If Wahab doesn't bat, SL should act like good hosts and start their innings 0-2 to compensate the Pakistanis.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Time for Misbah to be dropped.

Next test:

Shan, Shehzad, Azhar, YK, Shafiq, Babar, Sarfara

 

[JibranAnsari]

Junaid cant bat cant bowl. Such a poor cricketer.

 

[Justcrazy]

nine down

 

[Madplayer]

Madness from junaid. He needs to pick up a match winning 5 wicket haul to make up for it.

Wahab comes in. Not sure if its worth it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brave Wahab

 

[MRSN]

Junaid is such a mug with the bat really poor.
