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

[Bullet Drive]

Oh no, he's bowling poor deliveries. We must at least rotate strike. We cannot let fernando settle.

 

[imshally81]

Misbah tries to increase his RR

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor over. good for pak.

 

[imshally81]

2 balls and 5 runs.... wow ... only rain can save the lankans now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah please score a double ton

 

[Bullet Drive]

10 mins to lunch. no more wickets please.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely defensive by kuptaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

[Bullet Drive]

Beautiful shot!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by misbah

 

[talha3]

The Misbah 'random agressive shot'

Love it

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amazing by captain.

 

[imshally81]

Misbah please score a double ton

U mean double figure

 

[iHammad]

Shot Misbah!

 

[Bullet Drive]

10 from 41. Misbah gone insane

 

[IAJ]

Salam all.

The way Dilhara bowled his first over, is probably what we can expect of Sami later.

 

[Bullet Drive]

U mean double figure

Done!

 

[waqar goraya]

do not think herath is a danger here..

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 to Shaf!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq must play Fernando more convincingly.

 

[IAJ]

Disappointing stuff from our "walls" Azhar and Younis.

 

[Bullet Drive]

First good ball by fernando.

 

[Bullet Drive]

17th comeback for Fernando.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very poor ball, should have been hit for runs. Shafiq letting him settle down.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq has just missed out on a gift. Very poor from Shafiq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Missed a full stop!

 

[Down2Earth]

Chisty Mujahid - "dilhara fernando the quickest of sri lankan seamers, but also the most erotic"

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Shafiq.

 

[IAJ]

Full toss, gets away

 

[Bullet Drive]

hate the way roshan shouts!

 

[talha3]

Disappointing stuff from our "walls" Azhar and Younis.

We still have our 'rock' though

 

[talha3]

[Bullet Drive]

796 SL wickets for Murali.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez 's wicket was the ugliest.

 

[Afridirocks]

Chisty Mujahid - "dilhara fernando the quickest of sri lankan seamers, but also the most erotic"

hahahahahaha

 

[talha3]

You know you haven't had a rich line of bowling history when Jayasuriya's 4th on your overall test wicket list.

 

[imshally81]

Done!

Now next task is triple figure

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq missing out on so many loose balls!

 

[imshally81]

Partnership 25(74)

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 more over.

 

[talha3]

Hafeez 's wicket was the ugliest.

You can't be serious. It was the best ball of the innings.

 

[iHammad]

1 more over

 

[Bullet Drive]

We must target Fernando.

 

[Ironcat]

Come on. This should have been lunch.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ugliest of the innings was Azhar..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should have been lunch, your right.

 

[Bullet Drive]

10(44)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very short and wide.

 

[imshally81]

Shafiq missing out on so many loose balls!

he only scores on tough balls

 

[Bullet Drive]

81-4.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautiful country side.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Square of the two gullies.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Excited about bowling on this wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Way to wide!

 

[talha3]

Last ball coming up...

 

[talha3]

Solid Misbah. What would we do without him?

 

[iHammad]

Lunch

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lunch. 25 partnerhsip.

 

[Ironcat]

Good job, Misbah. Now stand there till tomorrow, will ya?

 

[Afridirocks]

good resistance from misbah and asad

 

[iHammad]

We are nothing without Misbah and Shafiq, saviours

 

[imshally81]

Lunch !!!!

 

[Legend Killer]

Chisty Mujahid - "dilhara fernando the quickest of sri lankan seamers, but also the most erotic"

It was clear that he said erratic, maybe you should get your ears checked

 

[Looney]

Only 4 wickets down in one session

 

[Legend Killer]

We are nothing without Misbah and Shafiq, saviours

Lol yeah but some people actaully want Shafiq to be dropped

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to bat well ........ these two must get 150 runs partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan must not give up..... SL got to bat last here

 

[Imy]

200 and thi is pakistans game

 

[JibranAnsari]

at least we are moving rightly towards our tests run rate.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good stuff by these two. Batting getting a lot easier. If we get to the end of play with 200-5 we've done amazingly well. One of these will need a ton.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Unfortunate start to the opening day from Pakistan's point of view. Need a big partnership from Misbah and Shafiq and a good contribution from lower order

Some good bowling from Perera, getting better with each passing day.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah close to averaging 47 in test cricket..

 

[Ironcat]

Lower order should do well, as SL are only playing one spinner.

 

[zains_rulez]

Should made 250+ to save this test first

 

[cricguru]

If Pakistan score 230 + here would be a winning score, it is damnn crazy wicket so far looks we are near 200 runs target (lunch break 81/4)

Pakistan 3 quicks would love this wicket, interesting test I guess...

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan are certainly missing a counter attacking batsman of Kamran or Umar's caliber here. Every team needs an enforcer to tackle such situations. Karachi'06 memories coming to my mind when Kamran and Yuvraj hit brilliant counter attacking hundreds on opening and last day of test.
