So much for Mahela so called we play to always win theory! utter BS, SL playing for a draw and series win here.

Misbah staring at his first series loss as captain

Misbah didnt actually lose a test! it was Hafeez the pleb that lost the 1st test!

So 1st series loss is kind of harsh!

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 123 runs with 8 wickets remaining

It was the umpires who won SL the first test. That aside, Misbah hasnt exactly helped the cause in this test..

 

[Zamee]

taufiq has dropped the match probably

Poor Taufeeq. I dont blame him

 

[Bhaijaan]

Desperate times, they need a couple of wickets soon.

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[ekpakistani]

[LegendAli]

[talha3]

3 down...7 to go.

 

[NeVerMind]

That scoop shot from Mahela came out from nowhere!

 

[Asif321]

ajuuuu

 

[ekpakistani]

close in fielders .. attack with the bowling now .. doesn't matter if we lose 1-0 or 2-0 .. go for the win . .attaccckk

 

[ekpakistani]

[ekpakistani]

samaraweera to get a duck insha'Allah

 

[TaZ]

Explain?

He's dropped 2 catches for a start..

 

[Asif321]

samraveera avg 51

 

[talha3]

Ajmal comes alive

 

[Strike!]

Pakistan in the hunt now.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Hope Ajmal takes thilan Bell quickly.

 

[imshally81]

Suddenly Game is change

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[saeed-sohail]

Santa going for it.

 

[NeVerMind]

Credit to Sami he did stop Mahela from scoring freely which is why he played that uncharacteristic shot to get out...

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

back to back :4s

 

[Asif321]

we cant afford it juni

 

[Justcrazy]

been almost 2 years ... finally misbah's record has come to end

was not there in the First test.

 

[NeVerMind]

dude you got a slow stream...

 

[LegendAli]

Thats cheatingg!!!!

 

[Asif321]

go back to sami

 

[shakil]

Isn't it illegal to hit the bowl twice with the bat?

 

[NeVerMind]

go back to sami

to be honest, he was bowling well and put the pressure on Mahela that led to his downfall...

 

[NeVerMind]

Isn't it illegal to hit the bowl twice with the bat?

no you can stop the ball going to the the stumps with your bat (but not the hand)...

 

[Asif321]

Sami achi bowling karrha tha ... he can get thilan i feel

 

[NeVerMind]

Ohh just fell short! Don't se Samaraweera lasting long against Ajmal...

 

[saeed-sohail]

Lack of bite in the surface is not helping Ajmal. He might be lethal on SA pitches.

 

[NeVerMind]

gul back on....need to rotate the fast bowlers with Ajmal at the other end...

 

[NeVerMind]

slash from Sanga and just wide off second slip!

 

[Asif321]

srilanka inching towards win .. gul bowling stupid

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 106 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

dude you got a slow stream...

Just was busy ...........

 

[NeVerMind]

thilan living dangerously...no luck on our side

 

[qamar84]

almost caught unlucky pak

 

[imshally81]

20 overs remaining

 

[NeVerMind]

Does Sanga ever have a lapse of concentration?? The dude is so solid!

 

[Justcrazy]

SL could have won this with a little more intent.

 

[Qadeer]

SL could have won this with a little more intent.

They will still win this man what match are you watching

 

[NeVerMind]

SL could have won this with a little more intent.

Yes it hurt our chances as well as batsman stopped taking risks after chnadimal got out. But I guess Mahela does not want to risk his series win for some time...

 

[Asif321]

we will loose ranking 5th also

 

[Amjid Javed]

It was the umpires who won SL the first test. That aside, Misbah hasnt exactly helped the cause in this test..

I agree his drop catch of perera and pakistan go slow tactics this morning have pretty much meant this test will be drawn or lost.

 

[NeVerMind]

They will still win this man what match are you watching

Same match as you. Sri lanka are not going for the win. Tilhan is blocking everything!

 

[Justcrazy]

Hand shakes now plzzzzzzz

 

[talha3]

Take Gul off now. Awful series for him.

 

[Qadeer]

Same match as you. Sri lanka are not going for the win. Tilhan is blocking everything!

They are getting boundery every other over and required run rate is still not bad, mathews and perara can get quick runs if they are required later...

 

[Asif321]

pathetic from Gullla

 

[Asif321]

sami should bowl now ...
96 only to get

 

[TaZ]

I agree his drop catch of perera and pakistan go slow tactics this morning have pretty much meant this test will be drawn or lost.

Exactly. It was a difficult situation but when our batsman manage to score 380 and bat 128 overs you know we need time to get SL out. The Perera drop and Perera/Kula 100 run partnership basically took out too much time in the game. You cant drop catches and expect to win on these wickets

 

[imshally81]

Only 2 overs remaining..

 

[NeVerMind]

Hafeez back on. will Sri lanka will attack him?

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka require another 94 runs with 7 wickets remaining

 

[talha3]

Hafeez and Ajmal to bowl the rest of the overs now.

 

[NeVerMind]

They are not taking Hafeez on. going for a draw...

 

[talha3]

What a ball.

 

[qamar84]

what a bowled by

 

[Asif321]

only IDONE could have get a wicket

 

[NeVerMind]

Tilhan gone. Was a matter of time only...

 

[MRSN]

Game On !!

 

[ekpakistani]

6 wicket taking balls plsss

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sangakkara the key

 

[JibranAnsari]

Still a draw

 

[NeVerMind]

Still a draw

didn't you earlier say it was going to be a Sri Lankan win?

 

[Asif321]

will get matthews
