Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | Pallekele | 07/12/12 | 3rd Test | Day 5

[MoinHaroon]

I bet you we will loose

 

[imshally81]

two fours in a row

 

[MoinHaroon]

and go below SL

 

[Justcrazy]

Its really frustrating to see that after so many years there is no improvement in .......... he just refuses to learn , wasting the new ball bowling it short

 

[Looney]

no wicket before lunch

 

[Asif321]

bakwasss 27 already given

 

[Justcrazy]

SL rr 5.5

 

[MoinHaroon]

Nothing in the wicket, we should have never decalred

 

[Ismailtoca]

wow. looking back it is a very good thing we waited for that long. Otherwise we would have been under pressure here

 

[Justcrazy]

Sl might start looking for a win here now.

 

[NeVerMind]

You guys were complaining about late declaration, some people were comparing us to Eng and Australia, we have no fast bowling, only Ajmal

And not having Rehman is going to hurt as there doesn't seem to be anything there for the seamers. Hafeez, time to step up!

 

[MoinHaroon]

Can't stay up to see this pethetic bowling, bring the legend and hafeez, they are our only hope

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 243 runs with 10 wickets remaining


LUNCH

 

[MoinHaroon]

And not having Rehman is going to hurt as there doesn't seem to be anything there for the seamers. Hafeez, time to step up!

I hope Misbah remembers him, he bowled Younus before Hafeez in the first inning

 

[Justcrazy]

should have played instead of 3 seamers.

 

[MoinHaroon]

I would say 60% chance for SL to win and 25% draw and 15% Pakistan, what do you all think

 

[Imy]

Only Pakistan could have won this match but we waited too late to declare, You cant expect decent test team to fold in 2 sessions

 

[Justcrazy]

Its a fact that maybe even in SA pakistan would have to play two spinners as the fast bowlers would be useless.

 

[Justcrazy]

There will be no result , it will be a draw.

 

[MoinHaroon]

should have played instead of 3 seamers.

Which 3 seamers, you think Semi and Gully are bowlers?

 

[Ismailtoca]

^More like 50% draw 25% Pak, 25% Lanka

 

[Justcrazy]

A couple of wickets and Sl would get into a shell.

 

[NeVerMind]

At least we have a match on our hands going into the fifth day...all these emotions here all over the placee....should have declared earlier, should have declared later, and now should never had declared....arent' test matches amazing? Keeps getting me out of bed early in the morning!

 

[MoinHaroon]

Only Pakistan could have won this match but we waited too late to declare, You cant expect decent test team to fold in 2 sessions

Which cricket are you watching, how many wickets do you think we will take. Declare 15 overs early would have not made any difference, we are only going to get 3-4 out, we have no bowling except Ajmal

 

[MoinHaroon]

Srilanka will win

 

[MoinHaroon]

A couple of wickets and Sl would get into a shell.

Unless they loose Sanga they will not go into the Shell

 

[shortbread]

Two quick wickets will still turn this around. Once the pressure builds on Sri Lanka they will struggle.

 

[LegendAli]

Unless they loose Sanga they will not go into the Shell

and what makes u think sanga wont go into a shell? come on people lighten up!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lack bowlers like who can take the pitch out of equation.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Two quick wickets will still turn this around. Once the pressure builds on Sri Lanka they will struggle.

I pray that happens, I hope Pakistan pulls it. I think key is Junaid, Hafeez or Ajmal. Gully and Sami need not be used

 

[MoinHaroon]

and what makes u think sanga wont go into a shell? come on people lighten up!

With Sanga on one end they can hit out on the other side.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL bat very deep , that is there added advantage.

Kula and Perera can both bat.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Why is Misbah not using Hafeez

 

[MoinHaroon]

I hope Pakistan can create pressure and take few wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

The fact is that unless SL play poorly , no way pakistan is going to win.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Byeee Folks , join you a little latter if possible.

 

[osee_bhai]

Come on now Junaid has looked good. You have to let the new bowlers fully exploit the new ball, atleast give them a chance, that's why you picked them. Probably Junaid and Sami after lunch.

 

[LegendAli]

With Sanga on one end they can hit out on the other side.

yeah they can, but why are u worried about that? enjoy the game and cheer ur team on, no more of that oh pak will lose.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Gotta go to sleep good luck Pakistan, Misbah do it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great bowling from umar gul, srilanka well set to win this one.

 

[NeVerMind]

Hafeez on...interesting...

 

[Asif321]

i have full faith on Sami today hes gona make us win today

 

[NeVerMind]

And Junaid is welcomed with a boundary!

 

[JibranAnsari]

RRR only 3.6

 

[LegendAli]

These horns are sooo annoying, why do they never seem to stop in tests?

 

[osee_bhai]

omg this horn, i am gonna go crazy.

 

[NeVerMind]

Ball doing nothing....not even getting uneven bounce on a fifth day pitch...

 

[JibranAnsari]

easy pickings , any rain clouds?

 

[NeVerMind]

Come on Hafeez...get the left hander at least...

 

[A.M.]

no spin so far

 

[NeVerMind]

Decent over from Hafeez...single off it...to score against Hafeez, you will need to take a risk...

 

[NeVerMind]

lovely ball from Junaid. Just need the batsman to edge one of these...

 

[NeVerMind]

Almost a catch...that was close!

 

[JibranAnsari]

only 232 more to get in 62

3.74 runs per over.

 

[talha3]

Ajmal, last throw of the dice?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great batting , that's how targets are chased. A good lesson for pakistan.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

This attacking mode from Sri Lanka means a wicket or two is likely to fall..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan have nowhere to hide. The first innings bad captaincy is coming to bite us in the back.

 

[NeVerMind]

Oh great dropped! Misbah as well!!! What the hell is happening?

 

[Looney]

dropped by misbah

 

[LegendAli]

MISBAHHH! are yaar catch drop kardiya!!

 

[talha3]

That's not like Misbah. Not acceptable.

Gone now!! Yes Junaid

 

[A.M.]

[NeVerMind]

Yes this time YK holds on!!!!

 

[Looney]

Younis khan takes catch

 

[Asif321]

[Sherlock]

Here's the game changer.

Sanga.

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

1 down 9 to go!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah's downfall it seems, two catches dropped in the same match ..thanks that yk took his.

 

[JibranAnsari]

The main wicket walks in.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What Bowling by Junaid. Produces two egdes back to back. One is dropped by Misbah and The other held by Jounis.

 

[A.M.]

oh almost

 

[Looney]

pls get out cheaply SL

 

[bforme]

Younis shows Misbah how it is done....

 

[talha3]

Chandimal playing a Dilshan like innings. Once we get him the chase should be over.
