Warm up game: Pakistan -vs- Sri Lanka Cricket XI

[Afridi_Fan]

Razzaq was recently struggling with this match fitness in the worldcup. Though, he took some wickets but you cant compare twenty 20 with a test match. I dont think Razzaq should be in this team. Pakistan should go for an extra batsman.

How many batsmen you intend to play? Apart from Butt,Khurram,YK,MoYo,Misbah,Malik,Akmal.Isn't that more than enough?

We have plenty of batsman but the trouble is that we also have a problem of consistency , see how many of those batsman do you expect to fire , except Younis or Akmal i dont think any batsman has a guarantee of firing

Another four and a single.Moves to 54 and retains the strike.

 

[shaun3]

Yessssss alam 50 up well done

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Takes a single 2nd ball, exposes rauf for 4 balls.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just hope Fawad keeps the strike, keeps the runs rolling, and proves that he deserves to be in the final XI.

If he gets a solid 70+ score, it'd be a crime to leave him out of the squad.

Alam retains the strike, 334/8

[Afridi_Fan]

Takes a single on 4th ball, Pak goes into lead.

 

[Plasma]

Alam is a tiger!

He will have a long and bright future with Pakistan. He's taken this opportunity by the horns!

It would be a crime not to include him in the final XI.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another boundary and single to Alam.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Alam moves to 67

 

[Afridi_Fan]

351/8

 

[iZeeshan]

Alam looking extremely solid. We should get a nice 50 run lead. I really hope he can get a 100 here.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Boundary to Alam, moves to 71

 

[Khabri420]

Alam moves on to 71 - looking very comfortable out there

[Wassixpakistani]

i know that rauf can bat , so far he's been okay

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Takes a single moves to 77

 

[iZeeshan]

Alam seems unfazed. Going at a brisk pace; seems to be in control of everything.

Moves on to 77.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

This Suraj guy looks good , he's taken 4 wickets so far , a bit of kanerish but still good enough , maybe he'll take murli's place after he retires

 

[SheerIndianpace]

5 more runs and he will be the highest scorer, even if he doesn't score a ton it still better than all the rest of batsmen.

Go alam go!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

moves to 79

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Good thing to see , Fawad is playing quite sensibly and watchfully , 6 fours so far.

[Afridi_Fan]

Couple more goes to 82

 

[iZeeshan]

Alam on 82*

I'm so excited for his 100, inshaAllah.

They can't possibly ignore a centurion, when the rest of the middle order failed.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single, goes to 83

 

[SheerIndianpace]

And now he will gets a test debut

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another Six to Rauf.

 

[Khabri420]

Abdur Rauf showing his talent with the bat - hits another six and moves on to 28

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Khabri420]

[iZeeshan]

Wow, declared really?

[Salazar]

at the end of 89.4 overs,

SL XI were at 345/5
Pak are at 400/8

Good decision but it would've been cool seeing Alam get a 100
