Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 3rd Test | Pallekele | 07/10/12 | Day 3

[Bullet Drive]

Take Sami off too.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pretty boring right now. Will watch for another 15 mins. No wickets i'm off!

 

[osee_bhai]

Our seamers are actually getting half chances and beating the outside edge consistently, I won't blame Misbah for not putting spin in there that quickly.

 

[imshally81]

oh Maiden over by Ajmal

 

[shortbread]

'A lot of bananas to keep the calm and composure' - Rameezji in form!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 wicket! come on!

 

[jeetu]

SL are just 45 runs behind.

 

[Bullet Drive]

rain

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

No rain yet, just clouds, covers on.

 

[jeetu]

Rain returns. Might be good news for Pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will loose again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor bowling by pakistan.

 

[NeVerMind]

Poor bowling by pakistan.

Having seen the match so far but from what i have heard from cricinfo and commentators that Pakistan have bowled well but been unlucky...

 

[Justcrazy]

I expected pakistan to get a lead of 50 .instead Sl will be getting a big lead.

 

[imshally81]

Having seen the match so far but from what i have heard from cricinfo and commentators that Pakistan have bowled well but been unlucky...

agreed... but is there any wrong decision ???

 

[Love Pakistan]

So it looks like Pakistan will lose the series!

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Rain has stopped. Covers off.

 

[Xoib]

Having seen the match so far but from what i have heard from cricinfo and commentators that Pakistan have bowled well but been unlucky...

you pitch it up you get nicks you bowl shortish there will be play and missis this has always been a basic on a seaming track. Short of length will look good to the eye but wickets come when you are willing to get driven for fours the length from all three seamers has been very poor hence we see this score.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Will the real Pakistan cricket team please stand up? Please stand up?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Play is just about to start.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It better keeps raining now

 

[Justcrazy]

185 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan not bowling right lengths.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[qamar84]

[qamar84]

[NeVerMind]

Ajmal finally gets one. Need one mighty collpase from the Lankans and us batting well for any chance of winning...

 

[Justcrazy]

[imshally81]

t

 

[Bhaijaan]

Much needed break through.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

That is not enough ........ need to rip the rest apart.

 

[kungfu90]

Misbah was so delighted..

 

[qamar84]

I thought that was Sanga...

smaraweera is an excellent test batsmen i think we ruin his chance to become one of the best when he receive a bullet on the attack on the bus you don't remeber he score 2 doubvle century in a row vs us

 

[rooster]

Poor shot by Samaraweera could've defended the ball easily.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nisarg: "Perfectly timed wicket. Not for the sake of Pakistan but for the sake of this match."

cricinfo

 

[kungfu90]

141.5 by Sami.

 

[Zamee]

Loosing Adnan turned the match into Sirilanka's direction.

 

[kungfu90]

Paranavitana not comfortable against Sami.

 

[Zamee]

Sami is such a bad bowler.

 

[waqar goraya]

when there is only need to bowl simply straight and full...Sami has been disappointing with this short and erratic stuff

 

[waqar goraya]

there is some turn now ...no harm in giving couple of overs to Hafeez

 

[Zamee]

Pakistan missing A rehman badly!

 

[alii]

sami get out loser

 

[NeVerMind]

does Sami know anything besides bowling short?

 

[NeVerMind]

does Sami know anything besides bowling short?

wouldn't be an issue if he followed with a yorker or two but that is not the case...

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Out

 

[qamar84]

and another onne

 

[NeVerMind]

and junaid strikes as well

 

[shahidafridi123]

Junaid again!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

ki :AAG

Look at that roar

 

[shahidafridi123]

Junaid should get Man of the series although I think Sanga will get it

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Guided to gully. Just shows how unlucky Junaid was not to get anything more this morning, that was a pretty harmless ball.

 

[IAJ]

Hopefully a big collapse on now.

Good bowling by Junaid.

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Ohhh maan, Short from Junaid, dropped well short of fine leg.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL trail by only 25 runs.

 

[Zamee]

Only if we had a decent fast bowler supporting Junaid from the other end....

 

[qamar84]

is keeping good

 

[Justcrazy]

SL have a edge.

 

[Justcrazy]

was expected to do some damage

 

[Zamee]

was expected to do some damage

Never do that again

 

[Justcrazy]

should have played.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get remaining wickets in quick time

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Drizzling again.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bit of come back this from Pakistan. Good stuff, need to get Piranha 3D out now.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[NeVerMind]

and the collapse has begun!!!

 

[qamar84]

 

[waqar goraya]

now we have a thrilling and exciting match to see

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Bhaijaan]

Right back into the match !

 

[waqar goraya]

Kill them now!!!any lead over 30 runs will be very much substantive...

 

[Justcrazy]

SL tail can wag

 

[Justcrazy]

SL tail is stronger than Pakistan.
