lose*
i think within 5 overs

 

[saeed-sohail]

First session in a test match can be boring.

 

[Justcrazy]

11 / 0

 

[MoinHaroon]

Onemore over and our opener have played more

 

[ads101]

111/0

hopefully at some point this will be the score

 

[saeed-sohail]

Lyca mobile.

 

[MoinHaroon]

bad shot!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

The interesting thing would be to see if there is any turn here.

 

[saeed-sohail]

hopefully at some point this will be the score

Haha, typo.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Taufeeq does not look good

 

[MoinHaroon]

Russell arnold is so full of it

 

[saeed-sohail]

Reading misbah on the card gives you calm assurance.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Russell arnold is so full of it

He is putting me to sleep.

 

[MoinHaroon]

good ball

 

[ads101]

Russell arnold is so full of it

kind of reminds me of a less interesting and less original ramiz raja.

 

[FusedBulb]

What the heck SL made put pak into bat first ???

Absolutely NOTHING in the pitch for pacers ... ball is coming so nice on the bat .... you would expect any other good team to put 500 + on the board but I am ready to see Pak pushing the self destruction button sooner or later to call that traditional batting collapse.

 

[MoinHaroon]

ok our openers have played more than both the innings in the first test

Must think there is a little for the bowlers on the pitch and the pitch will probably flatten out later making it easier to score. But I agree, don't see anything.

Don't think we'll collapse though.

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez looks awful against swing.

 

[MoinHaroon]

I think we score 300 and we will either win or draw

 

[ads101]

Hafeez looks awful against swing.

sigh, they all do except for Younis and maybe Misbah. Just hafeez looks especially bad.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Russell Arnold is worst than Harshe Bosla

Yep, just see now some movement by Pradeep ... Hafeez is clueless and tentative.

I hope you are right about the collapse.

He looks like English batsmen against the spin

love harsha bhogle. Quality commentator. Unfortunately usually it seems to be the double pairing of sunil and Ravi Shastri. Both very disrespectful to the opposition and general rubbish commentators. Even though sunil is arguably got a case as greatest opener of all time.

 

[MoinHaroon]

I hope he balls down the leg side with keeper up

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[MoinHaroon]

Hafeez looks scared

kulasekera is quite good at getting it whatever the pitch. Did it last time with ease.

Little worrying if the others are getting something out of it though.

Sri Lanka's new ball bowling has actually been pretty good in the test series so far. Which is encouraging for sri lankan fans at least because that seemed like a major problem in the last few test series for them.

 

[JilaWatan]

Hafeez looks scared

what else is new?

 

[MoinHaroon]

why is rehman batting bef0re ajmal. Ajmal is great

 

[MoinHaroon]

Taufeeq looking decent

 

[MoinHaroon]

well played

 

[MoinHaroon]

Take it easy now

 

[Strike!]

Taufeeq looks angry today.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

hafeez will have to get his acts together if we want a big total

 

[MoinHaroon]

Taufeeq looks angry today.

As long as he scores he can be angry all the time

 

[Justcrazy]

tofee needs to calm down.

 

[MoinHaroon]

This bowler is nothing against right handed batsmen

 

[ca_gold]

Taufeeq using his feet well today - not scared to come down

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

hafeez is on 3 since half an hour

 

[Asif321]

jayawardene messed it up himself ... should have batted

 

[MoinHaroon]

Kulse is good against Taufeeq

 

[MoinHaroon]

jayawardene messed it up himself ... should have batted

Lets not break out the Champagne (RoohAfza) yet

 

[MoinHaroon]

everyone is shocked that why Pakistan has not lost a wicket

 

[Pete Rose]

Much has been said about Nuwan Kulasekara's Test record against Pakistan, and it is worth repeating. In five Tests against them, he has taken 25 wickets at 16.40. His record against other teams - two wickets at 121.50 against India, three wickets at 50.00 against New Zealand and no wickets in two Tests against England. It is the swing and seam movement; can Pakistan find a way to deal with it?

[MoinHaroon]

Man Hafeez is way out of form

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is flat ......

 

[MoinHaroon]

The pitch is flat ......

I hope so

 

[Pete Rose]

The pitch is flat ......

common misconception when one bats well.

 

[MoinHaroon]

10 overs played good job 100 more and we should set

 

[MoinHaroon]

how is the forecast for the match

 

[JibranAnsari]

prefect pitch for a draw.

 

[MoinHaroon]

way outside leg

 

[MoinHaroon]

prefect pitch for a draw.

Why would SL not do that, every other team does that

 

[IAJ]

Taufeeq has been impressive so far and so has Umar Gul's moustache.

Gully looking good

 

[MoinHaroon]

Rameez sounds shocked that Pakistan has not lost a wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

31 / 0

 

[MoinHaroon]

First target reach 50 with no loss

 

[MoinHaroon]

what a shot

 

[Justcrazy]

is poor again.

 

[MoinHaroon]

if Pakistani batsmen do decent it is a good pitch

 

[MoinHaroon]

Tell Misbah to check the coin rameez

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan need to look for 300 at the stumps today ...... maybe for 3 or 4 down.

 

[MoinHaroon]

I wish but I will be happy with 300 for 6

 

[Justcrazy]

RR is pretty good ........Pakistan should not get bogged down here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why would SL not do that, every other team does that

I did not complain , did I?

On topic ,Taufeeq probably realizes that this could be his last test for a long time if he does not perform.

 

[Strike!]

Randiv in.

 

[Justcrazy]

35 / 0

 

[Bullet Drive]

good starts

 

[Strike!]

No spin at all.
