[Sherlock]

Misbah-ul-Haq has finally won a toss and they will be batting first

Rahat out, Shafiq in.

Via Cricinfo.

 

[imshally81]

Misbah win the toss... and going to bat first..
rahat out and asad in..

 

[JilaWatan]

No sami....

 

[Asif321]

Still Sami injured

 

[Asif321]

rainnnnnnnnn

 

[Sherlock]

Thanks imshally81 for the latest.

 

[Sherlock]

Raining?

 

[Amjid Javed]

So Pakistans till retain usless Khan in the team! wonders never cease!

 

[JilaWatan]

Raining?

yup, but very weird. its not that cloudy... so prolly just a quick shower

 

[Asif321]

Sajeewa Weerakoon debut at age of 34 today

Covers are on the field its raining

 

[Watsupdoc]

Still no Sami?

If Sami is still injured then it's a good decision to bring Shafiq in.

 

[Sherlock]

Looks like they're clearing the covers. Hopefully we'll see the game start soon.

 

[JilaWatan]

russell arnold says we havnt had any rain in columbo, but ofcourse when there is cricket involved rain has to have a say in it

 

[imshally81]

Thanks imshally81 for the latest.

My Pleasure

 

[imshally81]

Sajeewa Weerakoon debut at age of 34 today

Covers are on the field its raining

Another Ajaml in making ?

 

[saeedhk]

Relieved to see Pak winning the toss.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Sami is one unlucky bowler.

Now that he is showing some good signs, he gets injured

 

[JilaWatan]

Another Ajaml in making ?

dude every over-30 debutant isnt going to perform like ajmal

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Wait, is Sami injured, or did they not include him?

 

[A.M.]

2.12pm Covers are coming off already- Cricinfo

 

[imshally81]

dude every over-30 debutant isnt going to perform like ajmal

Yes i know my friend, but he has already 600+ domestic wickets ...

 

[waqar goraya]

the worry is that these class batsmen hafeez,azhar,younis,misbah and shafiq will tuk tuk and tuk.....and everything then depends upon afridi and akmal to score quickly..hopefully they show some urgency upfront

 

[JilaWatan]

Yes i know my friend, but he has already 600+ domestic wickets ...

holy ish

 

[waqar goraya]

they say that akmal plays fast but the fact is that he is pretty average with his strike rate...the problem is other batsmen are not up to the mark

 

[A.M.]

Eager to see how Azhaelr bats today!

 

[Poison]

Much more balanced lineup.

 

[imshally81]

Malinga is ready to bowl..... finger crossed

 

[talha3]

Cmon Hafeez. Still don't agree he should be opening. But hoping he finds form here.

 

[Poison]

Only issue is that we have five bowling options only ... Hafeez must perform with the ball, not that he's let us down with the ball recently but he has to bowl 10 today.

 

[A.M.]

Malinga to bowl

 

[JilaWatan]

why they keep saying asad ali

 

[imshally81]

Raininggg....

 

[talha3]

Rain

I hate SL.

 

[imshally81]

Cover is on

 

[JilaWatan]

what the hell, stupid rian

 

[talha3]

It's not Hafeez I'm worried about bowling 10 overs.

It's Tanvir and to a lesser extent Gul.

 

[Saeth]

Rain interrupts.....

 

[bforme]

hate this rain.......arghhhh!!

 

[x-man]

I'm sorry people. This rain is not because of me!!!! KIT for updates!!! .

Why thread change?

I think it's Tanvir...

 

[Saeth]

Sharp showers have arrived.covers are on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Younis khan will score 50 today and will book his place for next 10 matches..what da...

 

[LegCutter]

The rain's quite heavy. It might pass.

 

[imshally81]

2.40pm Nearly 80% of the ground is covered, and it is pelting down at R Premadasa

From cricinfo

 

[Sherlock]

Looks really heavy too.

 

[Legend Killer]

Thats why I hate cricket in SL,the weather is terrible especially around this tine of the year

 

[Bullet Drive]

How long you reckon?

 

[LegendAli]

We all can hate SL all we want, still doesnt change the fact PCB didn't do their homework before scheduling the games.

 

[JilaWatan]

rain.... please go away

 

[JibranAnsari]

we will lose 10 overs I guess.

 

[LegCutter]

Sri Lanka is the home team, they shouldve checked their own weather before inviting us lol.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2.50pm They have covered the entire ground now, so once it stops raining it shouldn't take long. And the rain has slowed down a little.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bright news from Kanishkaa: rain has stopped, and the covers are slowly coming off

 

[JilaWatan]

yay no rain

 

[Digital]

Getting brighter

 

[Digital]

Will provide Weather alert today !

Hehe thanks man!

 

[talha3]

This is going to probably be similar to the first ODI in terms of interruptions.

 

[Osama_B]

this is pathetic.

and the pathetic cricinfo commie has got it all wrong

 

[LegendAli]

terrible, terrible, stuff.

people are staying up, waking up early, just to watch the match, and this nonsense is occuring.

 

[czarkeen]

these lankans

take forever specially with the whole ground covered

in 2030 we'll have supper supper soppers all over cricket nations and probably won't need them since the stadiums will be covered

 

[Sherlock]

3.10pm It's quite sunny in Colombo now. On another note, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

Super soppers are working hard.

 

[Digital]

Guys...its sunny here...I don't think it will rain again..!

[LegendAli]

kitni dher baki, dosto?

 

[czarkeen]

btw does anyone know why only in sl they cover the whole ground and not anywhere else

 

[zains_rulez]

Guys...its sunny here...I don't think it will rain again..!

Who knows . . .

 

[JilaWatan]

terrible, terrible, stuff.

dude this is no one fault.

 

[Bilal7]

Should I stay awake or or get some sleep?

You never know, I might not get to see even three overs of the game or if I do sleep, Pakistan might collapse like a pack of cards.

Hard to decide. Rain has stopped though.

 

[Sherlock]

Stop blaming SL. It was partly PCB's fault too. Both the boards needed to sit down and ironed out the schedule better.

Yes SL knew the weather, but what makes people think PCB didn't have a choice either way as it's leading up to the T20 WC soon.

 

[LegCutter]

Rain has stopped, start the game already jeez

 

[Rana]

well atleast we aint chasing

 

[JilaWatan]
