[JibranAnsari]

The youngster beauty is taking us down..chand

 

[JibranAnsari]

We need a wicket every 4 overs to win it..

we need rain or an earthquake to crack up the pitch.

"Pakistan desperately needs someone like Shoaib Akhtar to create something out of nothing here! We have long relied upon match winners like him to win us matches when we are completely out and done. Sadly, albeit our performances have become more consistent in the recent times, we have also lost a little bit of spark along the way

cricinfo

 

[JibranAnsari]

140 to get.

 

[Qadeer]

so 1 wicket all day..what a boring place for cricket sri lanka is

 

[James]

What a young player Chandimal is. He's scored in tests and ODIs, home and away, from both top and middle order positions.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mohammad Sami to Sangakkara, FOUR, width, short of a length, Sanga is not letting that go, he cuts it well behind point, there is a man at sweeper cover, he has no chance

 

[talha3]

Chandimal gone now. Seriously needed that.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[LegendAli]

Outtt!!

 

[talha3]

Great catch from Shafiq.

[LegendAli]

for Pakistan to get a draw samraveera must come in next

plz be quiet about any draw talk, i dont even consider u a fan, go away!

 

[ekpakistani]

Immediately after tea we need a hatrick ...

 

[ekpakistani]

for that hatrick we need sangkara, jayawardene and mathews . then match is in the bag insha'Allah

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see SL having a go after Tea at this target and they can then always close up shop if needs be, only 1 side looks like they can win match from here.

 

[cricketpassion]

Immediately after tea we need a double hatrick ...

 

[test_fan]

rim jhim girja sawan..

Is there any chance of rain?

 

[TaZ]

I can see SL having a go after Tea at this target and they can then always close up shop if needs be, only 1 side looks like they can win match from here.

Be good if they do. More chance of us taking a wicket of they are playing like that

 

[ekpakistani]

insha'Allah double-hatrick but I will be happy with a single hatrick too

 

[Lachrymose]

A draw now doesn't seem so likely. One team (Pak hopefully ) will win it...

 

[cricketpassion]

I can see SL having a go after Tea at this target and they can then always close up shop if needs be, only 1 side looks like they can win match from here.

They realy dont need to have a go, they can easily do in singles . Its win win situation for SL

 

[Lachrymose]

I'm counting on Ajmal to get another wicket

 

[ekpakistani]

wicket coming up in this over, insha'Allah

 

[imshally81]

Where is Junaid ??

 

[talha3]

Those were actually 2 good balls from Sami...

 

[shakil]

Sami bowling good

 

[Asif321]

good from malcom 143 kph on line

 

[imshally81]

They are not in the mood of chase...

 

[qamar84]

that was close

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 135 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[talha3]

Sami knows if he doesn't produce here he's finished.

 

[Asif321]

more comfertbale with right handers

 

[qamar84]

jaya doesn't look confortable

 

[qamar84]

Looks like SL's chances of winning this match falling every over.

 

[ekpakistani]

[cricketpassion]

Somehow run rate is gone down

 

[imshally81]

Negative cricket from SL

 

[cricketpassion]

Min overs remaining 28.4

 

[Asif321]

consistent 143 kph

 

[imshally81]

Actually they are not going to chase

 

[Amjid Javed]

Unless SL implode in a session like they did in cardiff this game as good as gone for pakistan sadly.

 

[Strike!]

Come on Ajmal, Bowl over the wicket to Jaywardane for crying out loud.

 

[ekpakistani]

bring in junaid khan or gul .. SL now playing for draw

 

[Justcrazy]

SL looking for a draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

SL showing negativity here

 

[imshally81]

When 15 overs remaining... then umpire ask to stop the game & accept draw with both skipper... I am sure Misbah will accept this offer

 

[talha3]

I haven't seen Ajmal bowl a single doosra!

 

[ekpakistani]

sami should retire from test cricket

 

[imshally81]

Need Junaid here

 

[talha3]

Cringe worthy from Taufeeq.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Run out ...Missed

 

[Asif321]

[ekpakistani]

as I said .. Sami should retire

 

[Asif321]
