Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | 19th July, 2015 | Colombo | Pakistan Innings

[Man Of Steel]

I swear India would have scored atleast 400 and a max of 440 against this SL attack, its beyond mediocre.

[Belawal2014]

Rain rain go away!

 

[m.shah]

Rain

 

[BleedGreen]

Pak should attack spin now

 

[Markhor]

Would've been typical for it to rain when we were going well. Looks like its gone.

 

[Abdullah719]

Free hit -

Dot.

 

[Hawkeye]

Immaculate innings from Sarfraz so far.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I know I'm gonna sound a bit petty here but we should have hit more boundaries, at least a six

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I wouldve preferred hafeez on the free hit. Strikes it cleaner

 

[imshally81]

Stopped

 

[MMHS]

This is beyond pathetic, why on a free hit with 5 men in a batsman 'll go for placing shot against spinner? Even a slogged top edge could have got at least 2

 

[Pak_Jazba]

What is the average score at this stadium? I'm pretty sure 300 is the norm on this wicket?

 

[walashi]

Whatta suicidal run

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What is the average score at this stadium? I'm pretty sure 300 is the norm on this wicket?

I believe it was 245

 

[BleedGreen]

Very light rain, should start play in 15-20 mins

 

[Pak_Jazba]

245 was at Pallekele the ground we last played at.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Rain

 

[imranraf]

Rain comes at a very wrong time for Pakistan.

 

[BleedGreen]

I believe it was 245

Forget the avg score. It was 240 in Palekelle and SL chased down 280

 

[Asif321]

rain stopped

 

[marlonbrowndo]

245 was at Pallekele the ground we last played at.

Nope i saw straigt drive today im sure its 245. Highest run chase here is 288

 

[Square Drive]

Average score 235, we're playing well. Chill people. Or go watch some CPL.

 

[Madplayer]

rain stopped

Rain stopped or rain stopped play?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

These guys should be striking at 100+ at this stage. Going along at 80 isn't good enough.

Looks like Hafeez decided to drop anchor some time ago. But he needs to pick it up.

 

[Square Drive]

Covers coming off.

 

[Madplayer]

Average score 235, we're playing well. Chill people. Or go watch some CPL.

Average scores are meaningless now.

 

[Man Of Steel]

I know I'm gonna sound a bit petty here but we should have hit more boundaries, at least a six

Kids love boundaries and sixes.

 

[Square Drive]

300 is very much on. Should be a safe score. Can't wait to see how Imad goes!

 

[Master Leo]

The pitch was relaid before 2011 WC. And the average scores increased after that.

 

[BleedGreen]

Play to start in 10-15 mins

 

[Pete Rose]

These guys should be striking at 100+ at this stage. Going along at 80 isn't good enough.

Looks like Hafeez decided to drop anchor some time ago. But he needs to pick it up.

he hopes to end with an undefeated score at about 85 strike rate and others are too bash it around him.

 

[Square Drive]

Why? Based on one game? [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION]

 

[Man Of Steel]

BTW Australia declare at 232-2 leading by 508 runs.
England will come out to bat shortly for a couple of overs before lunch.

 

[Square Drive]

Promotion for Rizwan/Anwar today?

 

[ExplicitAI]

Kids love boundaries and sixes.

I'm 19, not a kid

 

[taqi]

out field is very slow may get slower after rain. Target of 280 is around 310 adding that factor

 

[Man Of Steel]

It has cleared up, covers are off, play to start in a few minutes, you gotta love Willow, no ads whatsoever

 

[Asif321]

290 -300

 

[JibranAnsari]

We need at least 330 here. The outfield is slow but the pitch is a pancake.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

After how much time of break we might start losing overs?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Average score 235, we're playing well. Chill people. Or go watch some CPL.

Bhai ye baat to pichle match me bhi kahi the ;(

 

[Square Drive]

Getting darker...

 

[Square Drive]

[MENTION=138379]#GreenRoars[/MENTION] Perera baar baar nahi chale ga.

 

[Pete Rose]

The platform should lead to a score of 300, but not convinced if the guys batting are playing the kind of game that will get them there.
Anyhow, they are still there so they need to make it count

 

[Square Drive]

Aaand covers are off.

 

[Square Drive]

Meanwhile I am gonna watch Stargate S01E06 until the rain stops

Uhh no one cares.

 

[BleedGreen]

Players back on

 

[Asif321]

Anwar Ali will be key

 

[m.shah]

Sun is out

 

[Madplayer]

Why? Based on one game? [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION]

According to [MENTION=132017]Master Leo[/MENTION],The pitch was relaid before 2011 WC. And the average scores have increased. This is the same for most pitches around the world.

 

[Abdullah719]

About to resume.

 

[Abdullah719]

Sun is out

With a rainbow along with it.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

One of these two will have to score big from here on . Can't afford 40's and 50's. . .

 

[Madplayer]

With a rainbow along with it.

In srilanka too?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Azhar Ali's running was really pathetic today. Not only was his calling poor, but both he and Shehzad were walking a lot of singles. Very lazy stuff. As captain, it's a poor example to set, and I hope the coach has a word to him about it.

 

[Pete Rose]

Lets take the time to applaud how under the new captain (and with some changes in personnel) the average Pakistani score continues to rise.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Guys I wanna change my profile pic, I forgot how to do that

 

[Madplayer]

Lets take the time to applaud how under the new captain (and with some changes in personnel) the average Pakistani score continues to rise.

Refreshing to see. We are doing it without haris sohail as well.

 

[Man Of Steel]

I don't have faith in Rizwan or Imad since I haven't seen them play much, for 300 to happen one of these two need to carry on till the end.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Lets take the time to applaud how under the new captain (and with some changes in personnel) the average Pakistani score continues to rise.

Thanks to the absence of captain tuk tuk.

 

[imshally81]

Need some fireworks

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Spin is on. . .

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Asif321]

hafeez bhai

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good looking shot but why would hafeez do that

 

[Madplayer]

Hafeez gone

 

[Master Leo]

Yeah!!!! Dangerous Hafeez goes.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Hafeez was batting too slowly anyway. Better to get someone else in.

 

[Asif321]

time for PIA boys malik and sarfraz

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Good catch from a good shot. We need to accelerate a bit from here

[LegbreakGoogly]

Whatty poor shot. . . Hafeez:-D

 

[ExplicitAI]

Malik better not prod around, need to amp up the innings here

 

[imranraf]

Hafeez fails to capitalize on a very good start. He should have carried on. We badly need an Afridiesque striker of the ball in the limited overs game.

 

[Executioner]

must say SL fielded well today

 

[MMHS]

1, 2, 3 score of 44, 49, 54 - recipe of disaster. PAK might get away wth as the Lankan's are depleted attack, but this is not the way one build ODI innings - again PAK 'll need someone playing 20 ball 40 to reach 320, while 1 more down before 40th over & SRL are actually back in better position.

 

[Justcrazy]

Malik needs to play a cameo here.

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up

 

[imranraf]

300 would be a par score on this pitch. Looks like a batting paradise. No movement, no spin whatsoever.
