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

[tauseef_mahmood]

any injury update on Amir?

 

[Madplayer]

SL doesn't seem to have any lower order hitters.

Or are there anyone reliable?

This match could be fun if SL posts a nice total and let's Pakistan chase.

Priyanjan. Remember the name.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Here thiri 's wicket is very important . Get him as soon as posible and the total is lessend by 20-30 . . .

 

[Ottoman]

Mathews being the senior player in the team should absorb pressure & must bat till the end.

we are batting second ........ so chasing is a given.

Yeah but even Pakistan lacks power hitters yet they still managed to put on 93 runs in last 10 overs in previous odi.

 

[ritzy_123]

Where is Hafeez hiding? Haven't seen him in the field even once

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

guessing game ......... who will take the next wicket?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I said good total.

Pakistan can easily chase sub par totals.

A good par total can mean a thrilling match.

270-280+

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Let's go boys!!! Ghirti hui diwaron ko aik dhaka aur do!

Lol!

 

[Greenshadow]

What was that song playing?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yeah but even Pakistan lacks power hitters yet they still managed to put on 93 runs in last 10 overs in previous odi.

But Pakistan has reliable bats like Rizwan, Malik (for SL) and some slogging via Anwar Ali.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

doesnt pakistan have a bad record at colombo?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

guessing game ......... who will take the next wicket?

Yasir

 

[uberkoen]

Poor effort from Sri Lanka after that start and really nice work by Azhar and Co. to contain them

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

But Pakistan has reliable bats like Rizwan, Malik (for SL) and some slogging via Anwar Ali.

I dont expect Malik to play well today.

 

[Pete Rose]

Struggling to rotate the strike. Even the best of the hitters need some fluency. The bowling and fielding seems to be choking them

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Looking for a run out!

 

[Madplayer]

Chandimal is looking busy today.

 

[arehaan]

Azhar Ali needs to block the easy singles. At the moment things are very easy for SL.

 

[ritzy_123]

Sarfaraz wanted a dot on the last ball and Yasir gets it

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

SL playing well ...... Chandimal will take game away from Pakistan the way he is playing.

 

[Madplayer]

I dont expect Malik to play well today.

Well he cant play well every game.

 

[ritzy_123]

Well he cant play well every game.

Obviously any player cannot play good in every game

 

[Madplayer]

Why isnt hafeez on the field ?

 

[Madplayer]

SL playing well ...... Chandimal will take game away from Pakistan the way he is playing.

He will get out.

 

[m.shah]

Sl still in a very health position.. A run a ball would take them to 260 easily

 

[Logical]

But Pakistan has reliable bats like Rizwan, Malik (for SL) and some slogging via Anwar Ali.

Chandimal i reckon is capable of playing a knock that Rizwan did. Anwar ali did not play any role with the bat in last match.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Obviously any player cannot play good in every game

He is playing as the major middle order player ........... shouldnt fail and score below 10 runs. 30 odd runs minimum.

 

[Logical]

Sl still in a very health position.. A run a ball would take them to 260 easily

260 i doubt will be enough on this track and SL's bowling resources.

 

[ritzy_123]

Messaging service provided to the batsmen

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

power play is on?

 

[ritzy_123]

He is playing as the major middle order player ........... shouldnt fail and score below 10 runs. 30 odd runs minimum.

Hopefully he bats well

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Irfan needs to breakthrough.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Quick wickets are needed to peg SL back

 

[m.shah]

Irfan bowling now

 

[ritzy_123]

power play is on?

No power play new rules are applied

 

[Belawal2014]

Let the fireworks begin.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Too many easy singles are being given, trust me, they'll start hitting out against this defensive field if they are still at the crease

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Hopefully he bats well

I hope so, but dont want him in the team. He will be the next Afridi, he will just block a valuable spot in the team and make countless apologies.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

crucial overs ...........

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

2 wickets required to get the game level .............

 

[Belawal2014]

Shehzad get off his back you idiot.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Big Wicket! Chandi Gone

 

[Madplayer]

He will get out.

Called it

 

[anakwalajinn]

Chandimal to make his customary 20-30 and then get out.

Haha, good one

Salaam to all!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

1 to go ..........

 

[MarkCooper]

A slow ball from the big man! Who said fast bowlers are thick?

 

[Logical]

That was a bit uncalled for from Chandimal, lack of responsibility really. Already had 8 off the over.

 

[ritzy_123]

This is what messaging does from the dressing room.. Allow players to play according to the situation and their understanding

 

[Madplayer]

Shehzad get off his back you idiot.

What a moron he is

 

[daytrader]

good stuff! keep the predictions coming

 

[ritzy_123]

haha, good one

salaam to all!

walaikum as salam

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Is this still bad captaincy from azhar you trolls. He built pressure and brought irfan

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I wish irfan get a batsman out by bowled.

 

[ritzy_123]

That was a bit uncalled for from Chandimal, lack of responsibility really. Already had 8 off the over.

Messaging service from the dressing room disturbed his concentration

 

[Madplayer]

Now a dangerois batsman comes in. Need to get him out quickly

 

[Belawal2014]

What a moron he is

Honestly man, last thing Irfan needs is a back injury.

 

[IAJ]

A slow ball from the big man! Who said fast bowlers are thick?

Probably learned in Yorkshire somehow?

 

[Belawal2014]

Yes! Deano's back, love hearing him.

 

[Ottoman]

Poor stuff from Chandimal

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yasir could have been a better choice?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get rid of Thirimanne here and get two new fresh batsmen in at the crease and then we have a chance of really restricting SL in the final 14 overs. If we can keep them to 270 then we will have done a good a job.

 

[Madplayer]

Honestly man, last thing Irfan needs is a back injury.

Coach and physio should take notice. It was like he was trying to ride a camel

 

[Pete Rose]

Chandimal doing an Akmal

 

[Belawal2014]

Gonna be a tough chase for PAK.

 

[m.shah]

Imad looks impressive bowler

 

[IAJ]

There is alot of talk about CT. If Pakistan win this series is the CT spot sealed then? Regardless of what happens in tri series?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

get wickets, dont save runs

 

[Belawal2014]

There is alot of talk about CT. If Pakistan win this series is the CT spot sealed then? Regardless of what happens in tri series?

Well, if we're abysmal in the tri-series, then no.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Imad has bowled a good tidy spell here and our combination of 5th bowler has been excellent, lets hope when we get to death overs our main bowlers keep up the good work.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

wicked bouncer is an order ........

 

[IAJ]

Chandimal doing an Akmal

The difference is Chandimal did this after getting instructions from the 12th man. He was doing quite well but imploded right after getting the message.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

another one.

 

[Logical]

Good over. Good spell by Irfan here.

 

[Belawal2014]

Our bowler's need to bowl more yorkers.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Let's restrict them to under 250

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I dont know but I dont not like slow left arm bowlers ............ they are a little boring. I was impressed by abdul rehman in that england series, didnt expect what he did.

 

[Madplayer]

Haha, good one

Salaam to all!

Walaikum as salaam
