Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Colombo | 13/6/2012 | Pakistan Innings

[Red Devil]

Thank God our series with Aus is not happening in Sri Lanka

Too much rain there

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should be on.

 

[JilaWatan]

I know because I live here !

hahahaha good one

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sun is out but few rain patches in the outfield are causing the delay. We are told that Umpires will make an inspection soon.

Despite rain today lovely being in SL. Country is getting excited about the T/20 WC - I have a feeling Pak will be one of the semi finalists

 

[Sherlock]

Looks like a delay of about 30-40 minutes yet. Just my opinion.

Not a big prediction. Pakistan are the only team to reach the semis in each of the 3 tournaments. As a bonus, this one's in Asia so we're expected to get there.

3.30pm As we reach close to an hour lost to rain, the umpires are out to inspect the pitch and outfield

[Down2Earth]

cricket still hasn't learnt to deal with a few drops from the sky, is there any other sport so helpless as cricket?

 

[LegendAli]

rain rain go away, come back....NEVER!

 

[Bullet Drive]

3.30pm As we reach close to an hour lost to rain, the umpires are out to inspect the pitch and outfield. All the covers are off too. We can't be too far from a resumption

Weren't a few.

[JilaWatan]

all new stadiums should have a dome.... just saying. like that one in aus

 

[Sherlock]

That's why I say we only play in stadiums with roofs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We are on in 10 minutes for sure!

 

[LegendAli]

no, roof cricket would be terrible, out door is awesome, just not in SL.

 

[sarmadsl]

any news?

 

[thecricket]

3.40pm Inspection done. Play resumes at 3.45pm, five minutes from now

.

 

[sehwag fan]

considering this might be a curtailed game, can be a blow to pakistan with only 5 bowlers extra batsmen will be of no use

 

[talha3]

Will there be a reduction in overs?

 

[JilaWatan]

finalllyyyy

 

[Asif321]

no reduction in overs ... innings break has been cut short a bit

 

[JilaWatan]

no, roof cricket would be terrible, out door is awesome, just not in SL.

a majestic view. would be a fun place to play/watch cricket

 

[Hassan0987]

Hafeez gone

 

[talha3]

Hafeez gone. To be fair that was a beauty

 

[JilaWatan]

hafeez, mar jaaa

 

[Hassan0987]

Asad shafiq sent in at number 3

 

[sehwag fan]

gone for a duck

 

[Asif321]

hahaha

 

[g00g1y]

Professor with jali degree gone

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[JilaWatan]

lets go shafiq and azhar: show these old farts how its done

 

[bforme]

collapse alert !!!!

 

[Osama_B]

time for hafeez to be dropped

enough is enough

 

[Asif321]

another failure

 

[JilaWatan]

shafiq pretty much got the same delivery. he played it fine

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Glass half empty or half full?

 

[x-man]

So why can't send Afridi as opener?? .

Hafeez shuld be dropped for Nasir Jamshed once he's better and Hammad Azam for now, he's no future captain or anything, apart from his bowling he's useless

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shafiq in.

 

[chui_kadoo]

what do you know. Hafeez fails again for the millionth time. Another duck. Why is this fool still opening. One of the worst openers ever and yet they persist with him every time

 

[LegendAli]

a majestic view. would be a fun place to play/watch cricket

that is beautiful actually, im fine with that.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

typical pakistani start....to be honest there is nothing exciting about Pak team.

 

[Lara400]

Another 0 for the Professsor.

 

[JibranAnsari]

prof's footwork all over the place.

 

[Sherlock]

Hafeez is NOT a opener. I said once and I'll say it again. Why can't we see that.

 

[talha3]

Glass half empty or half full?

Half empty but you can fill it if you move him to the lower order.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor stuff from Hafeez! really does need to learn to move his feet more early on!

Chance for Asad to stake a claim back in the side now.

 

[JilaWatan]

that is beautiful actually, im fine with that.

seee. unfortunately with the abundance of cricket grounds in aus, this arena is rarely used for cricket anymore. more for rugby

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistani batsmen looking scared of failures.

 

[Ahson8]

Hafeez

 

[talha3]

How is that not wide?!!?

 

[JilaWatan]

hafeez has no footwork...NONE

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Surprisingly and thankfully NO YELLOW BUTTS todays

 

[King_Rizzy]

Asad Shafiq to score a 50 today. You heard it here first!

 

[Osama_B]

wide u pathetic umpire!

 

[kungfu90]

shafiq pretty much got the same delivery. he played it fine

When ball is moving , play late. As much as possible.

 

[Afridirocks]

pakistani batsmen looking scared of failures.

it is because our batsman mindset is defensive

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Get Azhar Ali on strike already...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Got a bad feeling that we are about to see a pretty substandard pakistan batting performance here!

 

[Hassan0987]

This is going to be tough

 

[Watsupdoc]

Batsmen struggling

 

[Amjid Javed]

1st ten overs are so important in ODIs but pakistan time and time again make a pig ear of things!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Need to play these first few overs cautiously, without losing any wickets.

 

[JilaWatan]

When ball is moving , play late. As much as possible.

yup all he did was just open the blade and waited for the ball to come to him

 

[Osama_B]

nuwan kalasakera is a pathetic bowler that we make look word class

 

[IAJ]

Glass half empty or half full?

no water there at all, I don't think there is even a glass there

 

[Ahson8]

What would be a good score on this track?

 

[JilaWatan]

see i like azher's approach. he always gets behind the line of the ball. he is smart when it comes to picking the actual line

 

[RehanG]

nuwan kalasakera is a pathetic bowler that we make look word class

thats why he was #1 bowler for months..

 

[JilaWatan]

What would be a good score on this track?

with the movement these quickies are getting. id say 220/230

 

[LegendAli]

HEHEHHE Waqar says MOYO was a better batsman than Inzi and Miyadat.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good bowling by SL here

 

[Asif321]

our chickens have already gone into shell

 

[CalculatedRisk]

this is so utter-lessly hopeless !
