Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 3rd Test | Pallekele | 07/08/12 | Day 1

[pakcricketfan]

Who will keep if adnan is unfit?

Most probably, Younis Khan.

Hope Adnan's injury is not serious!

 

[JibranAnsari]

BTW Shafiq >>> Umar Akmal in Tests all day long.

LOL , you want to start a discussion once again or declaring your verdict. Last time when these two guys played together in tests umar did better than asad, But yes ATM asad is my first choice but want umar in the squad.

 

[imshally81]

Good stuff from Sami.

Asad has been excellent.

Pakistan's session but SL still in front in this game.

What i said before... he has a X factor

 

[pakcricketfan]

Looks like Adnan is fine now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like Adnan is fine now.

Hope he comes back to bat and scores a century ,after sami is out after scoring a fifty

 

[imshally81]

Good news from Cricbuzz

Adnan Akmal is padded up, he might come in at the fall of the next wicket

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

.

 

[talha3]

What i said before... he has a X factor

More of a factor now.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:adnan is back

 

[imshally81]

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol x factor gone , hope akmal builds a partnership now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad needs to take matters into his hands.

 

[imshally81]

More of a factor now.

No Problem ...... Picture abhi baqi hey marey dost

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Adnan akmal: 3000 First Class runs

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by :adnan.

 

[talha3]

No Problem ...... Picture abhi baqi hey marey dost

Let's hope it's a good picture when he bowls.

 

[talha3]

Adnan is so much better than a 26 average player.

He should average 35ish.

 

[talha3]

Another good shot Asad.

 

[Lachrymose]

Who wouldn't want Angelo Mathews's bowling average as their batting average?

 

[IAJ]

the good thing about Adnan is that he scores quickly.

And he is out

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:adnan

 

[talha3]

Disappointing from Adnan, was looking so good. I get it that he's uncomfortable but that kind of shot shouldn't have been played with Asad still there.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan need another 52 runs, quite quickly. No need to block themselves all out for 220.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Asad running out of partners. Lankans looking to finish it off quickly

 

[Zamee]

A well known brain-fart by another member of Akmal Family !!

 

[James]

Once an Akmal, always an Akmal.

 

[*syed59*]

Adnan is so much better than a 26 average player.

He should average 35ish.

and thats why he has an average of 26... tradition to have a brainfart in every innings for Akmal brothers

 

[IAJ]

lovely shot by asad

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Good use of the feet for

 

[Alam_dar]

Pakistan cannot win the T20 cup in Sri Lanka.

The ball moves a lot in Sri Lankan conditions.

Mark my words.

 

[Zamee]

What a shotttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Ironcat]

Shot!

 

[IAJ]

Another lovely shot by asad, moving his feet well here. 4 runs

 

[talha3]

Great shot. Shafiq on 74*

 

[Zamee]

Pakistan cannot win the T20 cup in Sri Lanka.

The ball moves a lot in Sri Lankan conditions.

Mark my words.

Chup karo yar !! issed:

 

[Ironcat]

SL regretting not having another spinner in the squad?

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan cannot win the T20 cup in Sri Lanka.

The ball moves a lot in Sri Lankan conditions.

Mark my words.

Marked!

Remember that in T20 this movement hasn't much to say as the batsmen are on the attack all the time.
Once you attack a bowler he will totally forget his line and length and start bowling rubbish.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Why shafiq is exposing gul to the bowlers.

He needs to take most of the strike.

 

[Zamee]

Solid as a rock sir :Gul:

 

[Zamee]

Why shafiq is exposing gul to the bowlers.

He needs to take most of the strike.

Gul can bat a bit !!

 

[Zamee]

Kula still swinging the ball what the ******

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish shot from Gul. Out

 

[saeed-sohail]

Salam dosto, I am back after three hour nap on my sofa.

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[carbon11]

hope shafiq is not left stranded deserves his century

 

[talha3]

Not taking singles...

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Why doesn't Ajmal come before Gul?

 

[talha3]

Now he's gone.

 

[imshally81]

My Man Sir Mr. Ajmal on the Ground.....

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[talha3]

Junaid Khan can't bat...at all.

 

[imshally81]

Last 10 overs : 41 Runs & 2 Wickets

 

[imshally81]

 

[carbon11]

gutted for him

 

[Alam_dar]

Was Asad really out? I think he didn't touch the ball

 

[Bullet Drive]

These should just go for a slog now and let us bowl.

 

[Boi]

lol we suck.

 

[Bullet Drive]

He gloved it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

He should have taken the single. Ajmal is a decent batsman.

 

[IAJ]

Australia bowled out SL for only 174 on this ground last year. So this isn't a very bad score by Pakistan.

But the problem is that Australia in reply made 400+ runs.

Pakistan need to bowl out SL for less than 200 and then put up a big total in third innings.

 

[Amar786]

He should have taken the single. Ajmal is a decent batsman.

And if ajmal got out we would say why did he rotate the strike.

 

[A.M.]

who is going to open for SL?

 

[chuck]

And if ajmal got out we would say why did he rotate the strike.

lol - so true

 

[Firebolt]

I dont think that was out

 

[Boi]

I thought Adnan Akmal retired hurt? Why is he being shown as being 'bowled' on the scorecard? Did he come back to bat, sorry guys I've just tuned in now so not so sure.

Edit: nvm, got my answer.

 

[Firebolt]

Didnt see even the glove hitting the ball.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Not a great total, bowlers have their work cut out. Last pair should still look to get it close to 250 mark.

 

[Looney]

I see Bhanja

 

[talha3]

Junaid )

 

[Looney]

I thought Adnan Akmal retired hurt? Why is he being shown as being 'bowled' on the scorecard? Did he come back to bat, sorry guys I've just tuned in now so not so sure.

Yea came back , had a brainfart and left .


About Shafiq `s dismissal - I didn`t see him glove it either

 

[waqar goraya]

with new ball we should send back couple of Srilankans easily today..

 

[talha3]

Ajmal keeps strike.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

yes by :idone

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

And if ajmal got out we would say why did he rotate the strike.

I'd rather Ajmal got out then Shafiq.

 

[A.M.]

 

[lumber121]

Oh man, just switched the telly on n witnessing same old Pakistan batting display.
Disappointed with this performance in this important test.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely shot. Junaid on strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Junaid.
