Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | Pallekele| 07/10/12 | 3rd Test | Day 4

[Bullet Drive]

299-8

 

[TaZ]

Last 10 overs 23/4...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Asad needs to farm the strike for about 5 balls and then rotate!

 

[Zamee]

He looks clueless on how to bat with the Tail!

Needs to watch videos of how Inzi use to bat with tail and take most of the strike and take calculated risks.

He will learn yar. Cut the poor guy some slack

 

[osee_bhai]

These commies are acting like chasing 200 in the 4th innings is no big deal.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Turning , shame we do not have rehman. He is much dangerous than ajmal in turning conditions.

 

[talha3]

2.4 overs left.

 

[Zamee]

They are just getting through this day i guess

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lead is 188. Tomorrow Pakistan will need to score quickly and some how get another 40-50 runs some how!

 

[A.M.]

only 3 more overs to go

 

[Zamee]

Turning , shame we do not have rehman. He is much dangerous than ajmal in turning conditions.

Can sami bowl some spin ?

 

[A.M.]

this!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should have taken the single this ball.

 

[osee_bhai]

We need every run we can get, you do not protect your freaking No. 8 and 9 from the strike. You rotate and hope they can get somewhat settled and score runs. You do not turn down runs when you have a lead of like 188.

 

[imshally81]

Asad is a stupid , why would you take singles and expose the tail , just to remain no out in the end?

because the ball turning... and he knows even this can also dangerous for him ... so he was hiding

 

[Zamee]

Kapil is the leading wicket taker against us

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can sami bowl some spin ?

Hope he gets his first 6 fer tomorrow morning..might be a hero for a whille

 

[NeVerMind]

Can sami bowl some spin ?

Well he starts wide and the balls ends up wider...is that spin?

 

[A.M.]

field coming up should go for a big shot

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very poor by Shafiq.

 

[Zamee]

Run le yarrrr

 

[TaZ]

Azhar started his career as a leg spinner. We should use his bowling

 

[talha3]

Can't find the single. Adnan with an over to survive.

 

[Bullet Drive]

this!!

Batting is very easy out there.

 

[Zamee]

Hope he gets his first 6 fer tomorrow morning..might be a hero for a whille

You should be banned for giving such false hopes

 

[A.M.]

Batting is very easy out there.

dont really think so only 3 of Pak batsmen could make 50 or more!! chasing over 200 is never easy in the last day!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

batting easy or not , pakistan will have to get them out to win otherwise they will chase. Draw is out of question now (if it does not rain)

 

[Zamee]

Well he starts wide and the balls ends up wider...is that spin?

)

 

[A.M.]

well defended

 

[osee_bhai]

I'm pretty sure Asad kept strike the entire over because Adnan does not want to face pace bowling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad is a certified idiot , does not know how to atack. It is the right time to do that just before the end of play .

 

[Zamee]

batting easy or not , pakistan will have to get them out to win otherwise they will chase. Draw is out of question now (if it does not rain)

It wont.

 

[talha3]

Last over of the day to survive for Asad.

 

[Zamee]

Asad is a certified idiot , does not know how to atack. It is the right time to do that.

I guess he is instructed to get through the day safely

 

[A.M.]

last over of the day left

 

[NeVerMind]

No point attacking now just survivng...

 

[Zamee]

Hit 5 sixes come on Asad

 

[A.M.]

Asad is a certified idiot , does not know how to atack. It is the right time to do that just before the end of play .

and if he gets out doing so put is more in trouble they should try to survive now and come out tomorrow and play aggressively

 

[Zamee]

Damn you

 

[imshally81]

Last over coming up

 

[A.M.]

well left

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another day belonging to srilanka ..

 

[Zamee]

2 gainden baqi

 

[NeVerMind]

Another day belonging to srilanka ..

could have been worse, could have been better...

 

[Zamee]

1 gaind baqi

 

[JibranAnsari]

could have been worse, could have been better...

Final hour changed the day for them..

 

[Zamee]

End of Day 4. Well played Azhar and Asad

 

[truthseer]

Ends the day at 299/8

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should never leave out rehman even on the greenest of the pitches..

 

[coy0607]

I guess he is instructed to get through the day safely

knowing misbah, this is probably it..... they likely want to save this match rather than try to win it and risk 2-0.... not a bad strategy actually given the pitch is good for batting and pakistan have less the 200 on the board

 

[A.M.]

1st hour tomorrow Pak should play attackingly and get Sl out there and put pressure on them

 

[A.M.]

Roshan is like give us 300 and we will chase it with a session to go )

 

[Asif321]

should b a exciting day tommrow

 

[truthseer]

Roshan also said Herath has 35 wickets at an average of 23+. Sami has 50 wickets at 23+, what you say now?

 

[Amjid Javed]

98 overs in tomorrows play. So at Most pakistan will have to bat an Hour!

We will need a partnership between Adnan and Asad of around 50 atleast.

what was he talking about?

 

[osee_bhai]

Are you for real? Do you think before you talk?

 

[TaZ]

Unlikely. I think we will just make over 200 and then have to go all out with the ball.

 

[truthseer]

what was he talking about?

Herath is a world class bowler, one of the best in the game, his secret is his line and length. Up comes averages of 24 (Pretty good) for this year, and he's like, Herath has an average of 20+

 

[NeVerMind]

Final hour changed the day for them..

Yes but we could have collapsed earlier when YK and Misbah went in quick succession.
