Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | 4th ODI | Colombo | 22 July, 2015 | Pakistan Innings

[cricfan14]

It looks seriously humid there, Shezzy and Azhar are drenched. This is a fitness test for sure.

 

[Slog]

Haha "if he could be an entirely different player he would be a great player!"

haha exactly

 

[Logical]

Why are these Sri Lankan fans dancing. Do they not realize that they are losing?

They actually enjoy the game as it should be enjoyed.

 

[BleedGreen]

Good start this by Pak

 

[cricfan14]

No

the boundaries are masking his weaknesses here. Boundaries arent this easy every time

He still has a high dot ball percentage. The 4s and the 6 means that his SR is good but he still isnt rotating strike and is finding the fielders way too often rather than hitting through the gaps

I would also point out that boundaries aren't finding the gaps either, it's aerial shots, which is MUCH riskier.

 

[aloo paratha]

Someone should tell Pakistan its a 50 over game and they have 30 more overs to finish it.

But also let them know it's a powerplay so it's all good!

 

[IAJ]

Someone should tell Pakistan its a 50 over game and they have 30 more overs to finish it.

there are more than 40 overs left...

 

[BleedGreen]

SL crowd is always chilled out its nice to see. Barring 3rd ODI

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hate this slow outfield

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

there are more than 40 overs left...

I meant they are playing so well like a T20 game.

 

[aloo paratha]

LOL at the guy falling over Dilshan!

 

[Logical]

3rd 50 + opening partnership in last 4 innings.

 

[IAJ]

Poor outfield, too much grass, good shots just stopping up well before the rope

 

[Thivagar]

So what pitch is the Pakistani batsmen are playing in ?

 

[Markhor]

at the Laurel and Hardy type fielding. Fielders diving on top of each other.

 

[FreakCricket]

The day shehzad learns how to take singles will be start of his real career

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

But also let them know it's a powerplay so it's all good!

They are pawning Lankans.

 

[IAJ]

I meant they are playing so well like a T20 game.

And when T20 series starts they will play like Tests.

 

[Logical]

I meant they are playing so well like a T20 game.

Sense of humour is a rare gift

 

[IAJ]

wow

 

[Madplayer]

Look to attack spinners. Dont be too cautious because thats when doubts creep in.

 

[ExplicitAI]

That was bummy fielding )

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Hahaha . Funny

 

[BleedGreen]

misfield )

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Lool Wth?! But we will take it

 

[Man Of Steel]

wth?????

 

[Madplayer]

Great batting.

Poor fielding.

 

[BleedGreen]

Great start by pak

 

[cricfan14]

Um, doesn't it seem like new Pakistan is playing old Pakistan? Amazing.

 

[Slog]

Shezzy boy is killing the spinner here

 

[Pakistani Pace]

This is the Shehzad I wanna see!

 

[uberkoen]

 

[Ottoman]

This mis fielding sum ups SL Cricket at the moment.

 

[ExplicitAI]

No

the boundaries are masking his weaknesses here. Boundaries arent this easy every time

He still has a high dot ball percentage. The 4s and the 6 means that his SR is good but he still isnt rotating strike and is finding the fielders way too often rather than hitting through the gaps

I compare him to sehwag because both of them have good hand-eye coordination.

 

[aloo paratha]

Shehzad on:AAG

 

[BleedGreen]

another

great batting

 

[Madplayer]

Another

 

[Markhor]

Misfield, full tosses, boundaries.

Not going well for Sri Lanka, will have to dig out that "Sri Lanka fans - how angry are you ?" thread again at this rate.

 

[ExplicitAI]

boom

 

[Asif321]

thrashing going on

 

[Logical]

To be fair Sri Lanka doesn't even look like an international side.

 

[uberkoen]

They actually enjoy the game as it should be enjoyed.

I'm sorry but only those who don't expect their team to win would enjoy the game like that while getting hammered.

 

[Slog]

That is some pretty terrible bowling tbh

i would be tearing my hair out if i were a sri lankan fan

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[IAJ]

Good to see Pakistan playing well, but this is poor stuff from SL.

 

[Madplayer]

Good fielding here.

 

[Man Of Steel]

This is pure carnage!

 

[Logical]

Deano ripping them apart here.

 

[cricfan14]

Do not throw this away Shehzad

 

[uberkoen]

Nice work from Kusal.

Look's like he's learning from Rizwan

 

[aloo paratha]

"My grandmother can hit that"-Dean Jones

 

[cricfan14]

Nice work from Kusal.

Look's like he's learning from Rizwan

I'd prefer he learn from dropped catch Rizwan

 

[Madplayer]

Enjoying Pakistan being dominant in batting

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

so how said we need to repalce shehzad ............ no we dont.

 

[Madplayer]

Do not throw this away Shehzad

He can definitely swe this from srilanka

 

[Logical]

I'm sorry but only those who don't expect their team to win would enjoy the game like that while getting hammered.

Sri Lanka's crowd has always been like this bro. Bit of a tradition with them even when they've had good sides.

 

[The_KING]

SL are worse than Pak, India and BD atm. They should be number 9 very soon.

 

[FreakCricket]

First fielding effort . why is willow TV showing 2 overs late urghh

 

[Madplayer]

Do not throw this away Shehzad

He can definitely see this from srilanka..

 

[Markhor]

And now it looks like Nuwan Pradeep has done his hamstring.

Going great Sri Lanka.

 

[IAJ]

This Sikandar seems like a good commentator.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I was nervous Pakistan chasing ....... feeling a bit relaxed now.

 

[Asif321]

so series in bag

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Tricky

 

[cricfan14]

Azhar and Shezzy dripping in sweat already. This is when you need fit players.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Shezzy

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

so series in bag

there is another 200 runs to go ........ dont get ahead of ourselves

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Mathews on . Expect something

 

[ExplicitAI]

What on earth are you doing?!

 

[imshally81]

Not out

 

[Madplayer]

Azhar and Shezzy dripping in sweat already. This is when you need fit players.

Shehzad topped the fitness test

 

[Markhor]

Oh Shehzad, why run out of your crease like a hooligan ? Could've lost a silly wicket there.

 

[ritzy_123]

so series in bag

Still need to be patient and sensible

 

[Slog]

Lapse in concentration from Shehzad but he is safe

 

[King Meer]

Wondering what happened to pradeep??????

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's safe..

 

[IAJ]

there is another 200 runs to go ........ dont get ahead of ourselves

Yes Lankans were off to a flyer the other day as well but lost it completely

 

[Slog]

so series in bag

does that mean CT spot too?

 

[aloo paratha]

That would've been a horrible run out!

 

[cricfan14]

Shehzad topped the fitness test

Yes I'm agreeing, that's my point. Both Azhar and Shehzad are fit - can you imagine Nasir Jamshed out there?
