[A.M.]

to bowl

 

[A.M.]

ajmal has started well

 

[Justcrazy]

Draw is on cards. Just 60 overs left.

 

[imshally81]

Ajmal on

 

[JibranAnsari]

looks like this is a 100 plus runs partnership.

 

[Asif321]

give him

 

[Senman]

What an exciting match, these are v.good advertisement for Test cricket. Very brave declaration from Misbah.

 

[A.M.]

oh good ball to end the over

 

[JibranAnsari]

good intent from lankans.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need someone to bowl a magical spell.

 

[JibranAnsari]

very difficult task without rehman..

 

[Justcrazy]

Chandimal batting well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

GUl needs to find a 3 4 overs wicket spell from somewhere. He can do it.

 

[imshally81]

Another wicket is coming soon .......

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would miss .

 

[A.M.]

good lines by Junaid

 

[imshally81]

Misbah is not in first slip now. He is at mid off.
)

 

[Justcrazy]

are big let down.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Both batsmen have wonderful techniques.

 

[imshally81]

looks like this is a 100 plus runs partnership.

Maaf ker dho

 

[Justcrazy]

This pitch is a 4th day pitch , not much in it.

 

[A.M.]

Chandimal on strike now

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 217 runs with 9 wickets remaining

 

[Osama_B]

we are basically defending this total with 2 bowlers

 

[A.M.]

Sanga on strike now

 

[imshally81]

Stop these easy singles

 

[JibranAnsari]

rain showers acoording to forecast , where is the rain?

 

[A.M.]

beautiful shot

 

[A.M.]

Ajmal round the wicket now

 

[James]

What a shot.

Surprising scorecard to wake up to, both because Pakistan made so many and Sri Lanka have started so well in chasing it.

As for the Pak fans doing a rain dance - sort yourselves out. All results very possible in this match including a Pakistan win!!

 

[A.M.]

still no doosra by Ajmal

 

[JibranAnsari]

junaid should be rested. Sami

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a shot.

Surprising scorecard to wake up to, both because Pakistan made so many and Sri Lanka have started so well in chasing it.

As for the Pak fans doing a rain dance - sort yourselves out. All results very possible in this match including a Pakistan win!!

not really , 500 can be scored on this pitch.

 

[A.M.]

width and four

 

[Osama_B]

woeful stuff from pakistan

absolutely woeful

defending this target with 2 bowlers basically

gul and sami should be ashamed

 

[JibranAnsari]

junaid khan again he is tired . Take him off.

 

[Osama_B]

205 runs required in 54

cakewalk

 

[NeVerMind]

That was an unhuman like scream from Chandimal!

 

[JibranAnsari]

chandimal looks good for a century

 

[Osama_B]

really poor bowling

 

[A.M.]

short and wide and four

 

[JibranAnsari]

Carnage

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol , junaid lacks brain.

 

[Asif321]

bring on sami now ..
only 200 to get

 

[NoToIpL]

lets see how much will be required in 50 over
series lost anyway now the question is to draw this one or lose it

 

[JibranAnsari]

only 200 to get in 54 and 54 are the minimum overs. More caan be added.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very bad stuff from junaid.

 

[cricketpassion]

We are in trouble now

 

[Osama_B]

bring on hafeez

 

[NoToIpL]

Ajamal a piece of cake for Sanga

 

[A.M.]

Hafeez to bowl

 

[cricketpassion]

If SL plays all those remaining 50 overs then they will win this match

 

[Justcrazy]

71 / 1

 

[JibranAnsari]

Where is sami , this is rubbish from misbah.

 

[Justcrazy]

198 from 50 overs ............ Pakistan on back foot.

 

[James]

Ajmal still might have something to say about this. You can never discount a world-class bowler in a run chase.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be under pressure if they do not pick wickets soon, need to get SL under pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

alone is just not enough.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have run out of ideas, Perera might be the next man in.

 

[NoToIpL]

5 runs

 

[Osama_B]

what do we have a fielding coach for

can't even remember the last time we hit the stumps

 

[JibranAnsari]

5 runs now,making the task easier for sl

 

[NoToIpL]

192 in 50 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Partnership 34..good one for SL

 

[JibranAnsari]

we lost 2-0 in 2009 and this looks like same. Shame!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmal neutralized this series.

 

[Justcrazy]

No luck ......

 

[JibranAnsari]

Herath has comfortably beaten ajmal this series.

 

[Asif321]

why sami is not bowling .. misbah is using some lame tactics

 

[bforme]

Get Sanga quickly....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Still can't understand why sami is not being allowed to bowl.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sami's best chance to get any wicket was with the new ball..lame

 

[NoToIpL]

Chandimal looking for quick runs

 

[James]

Mohammed 'better than Graeme Swann' Hafeez causing problems out there...for the fielders

 

[JibranAnsari]

4 again , this is unbelievable that sami is kept back and hafeez is being milked for runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

187 from 48 overs

SL will win if they keep there cool

 

[cricketpassion]

Sri Lanka require another 187 runs with 9 wickets remaining

Min overs remaining 47.4

 

[talha3]

SL making it look eassy. Wickets desperately required, to at least stop SL winning.

 

[Mobashir]

Great batting by Chandimal, 4 runs to Ajmal

 

[Strike!]

Where are all the bipolar fans who were calling for Misbah to declare early?
