Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Colombo | 16/06/12 | Pakistan Innings

[speed]

is it too hard to rotate strike

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor batting IMO.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Feel Pakistan will lose this due to this poor start.

 

[waqar goraya]

is it raining in colombo?????

i have watched this match many times now...

 

[saeedhk]

Same old story

 

[taqi]

its shame to see our batsmen struggling like this

 

[cricketpassion]

Lucky

 

[imshally81]

:4 lucky runs

 

[imshally81]

this is Lemon cut

 

[saeedhk]

It is really a shame that even our top order batmen cant take singles.This is the MAIN problem+negative mindset

 

[12cavalry]

If there is anything more ugly than the Pakistani batting its the dancing going on in the stands

 

[taqi]

misbah getting a lucky 4

 

[saeed-sohail]

Sri Lankan kakiyan preshaan. Want to see Afridi.

 

[sada90]

need to keep rotating the strike

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Misbah is going to cause the downfall of Azhar

 

[asif9138]

common misbah..take singles or learn from mahela how to bat!

 

[attock]

Power play is on and we never make the most of it...............

 

[saeed-sohail]

Misbah looks so in control when blocking. We will miss his assurance when he retires.

 

[Rizwan25]

It's the captain not the team!

 

[saeedhk]

Kula usually sits out against other countries but always plays against PAk.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Power play is on and we never make the most of it...............

PP? Woh kya balla hai?

 

[waqar goraya]

Misbah is going to cause the downfall of Azhar

yes azhar has himself done very well

 

[attock]

one of the batsman will have to take risks..............

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drop yourself Misbah

 

[PB]

Lol we lost this match too...

Minnows!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Usual pathetic run chase by Pakistan.

Run rate req will be above 6 very soon!

 

[bforme]

tuk tuk baba frustrating Azhar

 

[tauseefm]

Why the hell are we playing so negatively? There is nothing wrong in the pitch and still we can not rotate the strike.

 

[Saudi]

Misbah and Azhar should be kept as far away as possible in the batting line up. On their own they are OK but together they easily jack up the required run rate to 7+ within 10 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

SR of 44

 

[imshally81]

one of the batsman will have to take risks..............

ok... Afridi is ready to take the risk

 

[Strike!]

Azhar 25 off 56.

 

[attock]

WE CAN NOT CHASE. Surprise me today please........

 

[MVP26]

Azhar is showing his true colors today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan approach is same as usual

Lose an early wicket. Bat like snails and form a partnership. Then lose wickets... then
bat even slower and let run rate climb and then lose wickets due to pressure!

seriously the lack of planing and game plan is a joke!

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I love how people are hating on misbah more than Azhar

 

[IAJ]

Great going by this pair allthough SL have the upperhand in this afternoon session as well. Hope we can come back stronger in the evening session and win the match.

 

[IAJ]

Shot!

 

[MVP26]

Run rate creeping up.

 

[imshally81]

:4444

 

[cricketpassion]

That how you play AA . GOOD SHOT :4

 

[attock]

Azhar what a shot

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Pakistan approach is same as usual

Lose an early wicket. Bat like snails and form a partnership. Then lose wickets... then
bat even slower and let run rate climb and then lose wickets due to pressure!

seriously the lack of planing and game plan is a joke!

You forgot to add the last step

Always blame umar akmal

 

[imshally81]

misbah in trouble

 

[PB]

About time,

 

[PB]

Azhar why can't you play these shots more often..

 

[attock]

Not out.........

 

[Amjid Javed]

AA down the Track and smashed for 4

 

[bforme]

He has made it.......

 

[Amjid Javed]

Almost a run out! stupid risk run that one.

 

[OmaIR1]

Same old story

Yep..

 

[attock]

Good over....

 

[Amjid Javed]

good running 2 for misbah.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 75/2 after 20 overs.

 

[imshally81]

Easy Guys, Remember the SL batting till 35 overs??? they only had 3.6 RR

 

[OmaIR1]

Required RR 5.60

Guess they're banking n Akmal and Afridi to fire.

 

[imshally81]

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[attock]

Good shot by

 

[hur rizvi]

what a pathetic bunch of batsmen we have these days....

Azhar Ali , misbah, hafeez and YK should be banned from playing limited overs cricket

 

[talma]

It is really a shame that even our top order batmen cant take singles.This is the MAIN problem+negative mindset

The pressure sets in on the batsmen with the quick dismissal of the Duck Farmer.

 

[OmaIR1]

Easy Guys, Remember the SL batting till 35 overs??? they only had 3.6 RR

Yea but they had 2 reliable batsmen at the crease that were capable of changing gears..

 

[qamar84]

beautiful cut shot by

 

[imshally81]

Partnership 23(39)

 

[Saudi]

Easy Guys, Remember the SL batting till 35 overs??? they only had 3.6 RR

They also had Sanga and Jayawardene at the crease.

 

[Amjid Javed]

smashed away for 4 by misbah!

 

[attock]

Required RR 5.60

Guess they're banking n Akmal and Afridi to fire.

And then blame them if they lose.......

 

[Pakprideuk]

The funny thing is if you acually watch the match, you'll know why their playing slowly. Remember theres two new balls so even now its only 10 overs old. how many times under lights have we been 18/3?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Why the hell did Miisbah promote himself anyway

 

[Amjid Javed]

against these SL trundlers they should be scoring every ball with ease!

 

[imshally81]

Yea but they had 2 reliable batsmen at the crease that were capable of changing gears..

No Problem we also have Misbah and Azhar at the crease.... and Yk , Umar Akmal & Afridi yet to come.....

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like malinga will come on for another spell.

 

[OmaIR1]

And then blame them if they lose.......

True.. rather than realizing that both Akmal and especially Afridi are not reliable.. Afridi in particular has proved it time and time again..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 80/2 after 21 overs.

 

[imshally81]

Last 5 overs
Runs : 20
Wickets : 0

 

[hur rizvi]

Easy Guys, Remember the SL batting till 35 overs??? they only had 3.6 RR

So you think grand pa Misbah and snail paced Azhar Ali are equivalent to Mahela and Sanga?????

 

[MVP26]

Azhar finally batting at 50 strike rate

 

[hur rizvi]

No Problem we also have Misbah and Azhar at the crease.... and Yk , Umar Akmal & Afridi yet to come.....

3 of the names you mentioned should not be in ODI team

 

[Rizwan25]

Pakistan approach is same as usual

Lose an early wicket. Bat like snails and form a partnership. Then lose wickets... then
bat even slower and let run rate climb and then lose wickets due to pressure!

And then expect afridi to bail them out and incase he fails then put the whole blame on lala.
