Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Colombo | Pakistan won by 135 runs

[Asif321]

what a catch by Saifi

 

[Logical]

That's game

 

[MMHS]

I thought they should have opened with Anwar in last match. Best medicine for leg swinger is to take the ball away from length.

 

[ExplicitAI]

GONE

 

[Asif321]

ANU on fire . more left handers are good for him

 

[imshally81]

A perera and mathews wicket would be nice

Ok boss

Anwar

 

[Shafi]

Finally Anwar Ali is showing some improvement!!!

 

[Madplayer]

Poster's have a self proclaimed dilemma that PAK bowling is good, it's the batting that let's them don't. Completely opposite - batsmen did enough in last 5/6 matches; it's the bowling that is been utter rubbish. MoHa had been the best bowler by some distance since WC. BD smashed 250s score inside 40 overs with 7/8 wickets at hand & even a depleted ZIM side posted 330, then was on their way to chase 300 in 3rd ODI.

What I see is utter rubbish bowling - no swing, no variation & no intelligence - OK Anwar just got one from a slower ball.

These days nobody claims that pakistan's bowling is better than their battimg.

 

[Asif321]

that was a superb catch ............

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Anwar Marshal Ali to the rescue. Aha what a catch Sarfi!

 

[Markhor]

Massive wicket !

Great minute for Pakistan fans - Kusal Perera out and another Zimbabwe wicket

 

[imshally81]

Outstanding catch.. Latif will be proud

 

[pacesensation]

Whats up with the change of pace + off cutters in odis these days. These off cutters used to get bowled earlier too but how have these become wicket taking deliveries??

 

[Pete Rose]

Wickets are inevitable to a tall score and tight bowling

 

[aukhan]

Good catch that was by Sarfraz.

 

[Thivagar]

. Got used to the 150-2, 150-3 start that Sanga, Mahela, Dilshan gave.

 

[Asif321]

Anwar Ali gave a mouth full to Kaushal )

 

[ads101]

Good Perera out. Always scares me when he's playing, he seems to take a liking to our bowlers (and no one else seemingly by his overall record). Does look like a promising talent though.

Good 1

 

[Zeshan547]

This is really an eid special, annu getting the most dangerous opposition batsman and sir with that kind of a catch, this isn't a normal day.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Azhar done the right thing today, open with Anwar instead of Rahat.

 

[cricfan967]

Anwar silencing his many critics?

I am ok with Azhar Ali's captaincy so far.

 

[Thivagar]

SL needs to drop Fatalinga, bring in Lakmal. This 2 main bowlers with 2 all rounders thing isn't working and hasn't been working for a long time.

 

[Logical]

Short bowl rubbish show begins from Rahat

 

[uberkoen]

lol. Anwar Ali's celebration.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Rahat bowling rubbish here

 

[Thivagar]

Bowl on the leg to Thirimanne, he won't last long.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Again

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Even i can't laugh on Rahat bowling Short pitch delievers every on . . .

 

[uberkoen]

Leadership skills on display from Malik

 

[naveed4687]

Too much legside tonking for me

 

[MMHS]

These days nobody claims that pakistan's bowling is better than their battimg.

Is it? I have been spending quite a bit time these days on PP - my memory tells exactly opposite.

 

[Zeshan547]

Rahat and short pitch bowling the most weird love story. And that sad part is when you can bowl jaffa length bowl, why in hell would you try short ball after short ball and get whacked all around the park. Only rahat can answer this.

 

[cricfan967]

Rahat Ali always starts very poor and then finds line and length lol

 

[Madplayer]

Because batsmen these days go blindly after every delivery to score quickly

 

[cricfan14]

Rahat WHY are you bowling those lengths?

 

[Square Drive]

Zimbabwe defeat India! )

 

[Thivagar]

I don't think any team has chased a 300+ target in this ground.

 

[cricfan14]

Also tremendous comeback by Sarfaraz. Good answer to the "drop him now!" posts.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good stuff for Pakistan

 

[cricfan14]

Zimbabwe defeat India! )

Now I'll always root for their success!

 

[Justcrazy]

Zimbabwe defeat India! )

No big deal. They have been really poor.

 

[Abdullah719]

Anwar has been bowling decently here. Also bending his back occasionally and getting the pace to mid-130s which is good by his standards. Good variations too...

 

[Asif321]

Annu creating trouble

Important thing is to set his role in the team , is he a batting or bowling all rounder.

Both.

Well, at least India didn't lose a test recently to Zimbabwe, which we did when we last toured there.

 

[ExplicitAI]

This was the year that minnows slayed the giants )

 

[cricfan967]

Anwars cranked his pace up to early-mid 130s today with decent variations. Definite improvement.

Not possible , no one has been that in history of the game.

 

[cricfan14]

Short and wide. Short and wide. Short and wide.

WHY RAHAT

 

[Thivagar]

SL doesn't have good hitters down the order, Thisara isn't reliable. SL is better of with Vithanage.

 

[Square Drive]

...Well, they (India) can't lose if there aren't any Tests scheduled, genius!

 

[Justcrazy]

Thiramane cannot be underestimated , he usualy does well against Pakistan.

 

[imshally81]

Late swing

 

[uberkoen]

Looking forward to seeing Imad bowl

 

[haris93]

short & wide

Rahat not in rythem today.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Rahat needs to bowl fuller here, Azhar should also toss the ball to Malik later on in the innings.

 

[BigBoy123]

Rahat is ugly odi bowler

[Thivagar]

Tharanga and Thirimanne living of edges

 

[Third Man]

i don't know whether rahat is just silly or he has poor control.. why bowl short when you can generate swing and seam from almost any surface?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lets see how malik responds to being the only off spinner. Hes good enough to play a hafeez role and if he does half as good thatd be great

 

[uberkoen]

Where's the slip Azhar!?

 

[BleedGreen]

Need to up the rate. A quick wicket, especially Thirimanne's will help

 

[Master Leo]

Anwar Ali gave a mouth full to Kaushal )

Yup, and looked like an imbecile doing so ..
Well, thanks to these two tuk tuk maestros the chase will be dead pretty*soon. Hope mathews could slash it around a bit and atleast save the embarrassment by taking the score upto 250.
