Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | Colombo (SSC)| 07/04/12 | 2nd Test | Day 5

[Bullet Drive]

No need to push for the win. We cannot win on this pitch + bowlers need a rest. We should just bat on and on.

 

[shehzi]

and as i always say DRAW IS A WIN FOR ME

 

[talha3]

301 average. Sami has serious competition here.

 

[Sunny786]

We need to score at a run rate of atleast 4+ and give them a target of 220.

 

[cricketpassion]

I wish Pakistan can do like End did last year to SL.

But I am sure conditions were different

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great ball

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yeah conditions were a lot lot different

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauitufl strike

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rambo on

 

[Bullet Drive]

Forget the win. How dumb can they get. We will never get a result on this wicket

 

[waqar goraya]

they did not went for the win in UAE against srilanka where they had a rare possibility....

here they dont have even a chance so give some practice to taufeeq and co..

 

[Ironcat]

The MOTM should go to the showers, but I think Hafeez might get it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez has been dropped

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very good running

 

[Bullet Drive]

We should use this as a batting net session. I'd bring in Misbah next.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Quick single.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Toffee

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 to Hafeez. Lovely shot

 

[Bullet Drive]

We should just try and bat all 60 odd overs or what ever it is

 

[Bullet Drive]

A win is almost impossible on this track. Don't declare

 

[Bullet Drive]

Edge for four and now a single

 

[talha3]

Hafeez playing with intent.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good batting, I just hope they don't declare

 

[Ironcat]

Faisal Iqbal has given up on playing from Pakistan

 

[Bullet Drive]

Quick single to Taufeeq

 

[JibranAnsari]

What kind of batting is this? Taufeeq needs to slog this innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Iqbal moved to Sri Lanka

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why should any one slog? You think we'll get a result? Even if we had a Steyn we wouldn't.§

 

[IAJ]

Waqar Younis wants Pakistan to target 10 runs an over from now on.

 

[IAJ]

Iqbal moved to Sri Lanka

I wont mind that at all

 

[JibranAnsari]

Come on score quick ... bat only 8 more overs , try to score 60+ in that and declare.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Smashed. 1 run

 

[IAJ]

Mohammad Sami

 

[IAJ]

Come on Waqar

 

[JibranAnsari]

tofee get out or slog.

 

[IAJ]

Abdul Razzaq

 

[Bullet Drive]

Waqar lying on commentary. Last test he was talking to Russel about Razzaq taking a hatrick in a test and then today he said he never knew Razzler took one

 

[JibranAnsari]

*** tofee

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan better shake hands now if we bat like this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 more easy single

 

[Bullet Drive]

Quick bouncer from Kula.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's the over

 

[Bullet Drive]

41-0

 

[Bullet Drive]

48 overs to go. I'd bat ALL of them if I was Pakistan. Make their bowlers tired. Make them tired in the field and we can have some good practise. Boost our averages. There's no way we'll get a win on this track especially with Dilshan, Sangakara in form

 

[JibranAnsari]

shake hands please.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Smashed for four

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely stroke

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cowardly batting , not even trying to give ourselves an outside chance to win. Shouldn't have got sri lanka out at the first place.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jibran, calm down! We cannot win on this track

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautifully played by Taufeeq

 

[JibranAnsari]

We can but we do not want to give ourself any chance.

 

[Bullet Drive]

LBW appeal!

 

[JibranAnsari]

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/474463.html

 

[Bullet Drive]

We cannot win. This pitch offers nothing for bowlers + you think we'll get Sanga out

 

[talha3]

Jibran they're batting at almost 5rpo. What more do you want?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rehman is in next.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan are pushing for a win. In my view they should not.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Jibran they're batting at almost 5rpo. What more do you want?

8 rpo so we can declare buddy.

 

[talha3]

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/474463.html

They're not playing at Cardiff.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Randiv into the attack.

 

[JibranAnsari]

If they can chase 250 in 40 in test then we have every chance of getting 10 wickets in 40 , thing is we need to win and they don't so we are on the losing side even if it is a draw.

 

[JibranAnsari]

They're not playing at Cardiff.

OK negative people , you draw lovers.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Stupid.

 

[talha3]

Hafeez out trying to be aggresive.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good , there was no worth saving wicket at this time.

 

[talha3]

OK negative people , you draw lovers.

I actually want them to declare with 35-40 overs left.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rehman is in.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ok rehman hit randiv for sixers.

 

[Ironcat]

Rehman is in = declaration after tea

 

[czarkeen]

rehman pakistan's number three

its fun cricket :younis:

 

[talha3]

Pace in. Rehman might struggle now.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Surely Adnan Akmal would have been better as a pinch hitter than Abdul Rehman!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah could have been a better punch hitter , he can hit sixes if he wants.

 

[NeVerMind]

don't see the logic in sending Rehman in?

 

[talha3]

Good stuff from Rehman.

 

[NeVerMind]

and no sooner I have said that Rehman upper cuts a 4!

 

[NeVerMind]

Chance for taufeeq to make a push for the ODIs...
