Taufeeq Run-out for 236
This should be it for Pakistan?
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
With taufeeq gone Pakistan should declare now.
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
**Hope I did not speak too soon but it seems at long last we have a settled opening pair in tests. Hafeez is the more attacking and aggressive of the duo but Taufeeq’s calmness and stickability is also priceless + the Left/Right combo is always handy. The two complement each other nicely
**
Well played Taufeeq for his double-hundred, 236 :k:
cricinfo:
“Does Shafiq think that blocking away the balls on a flat track, with team having almost 300 runs lead, will earn him favours from selectors and PCB and he’ll be prefered over Umar Akmal for future tests? No. But he must be thinking that getting out cheaply in these conditions will surely give PCB an excuse to continue their stupid policy of not letting any youngester settle down by giving them extended runs. (as if PCB really need any exuses for their stupidities!).”
511/5, lead 314 now

Herath to Taufeeq Umar, OUT, Asad Shafiq is a strange man. He is not hitting the shots, he doesn't want the quick singles, and the umpire and coach are waiting to declare. Taufeeq flicks, can't find the gap, wants a single to square leg, Asad is not moving. Taufeeq runs half way down, turns around, puts in a full-length dive, and still makes it only as far as the white line by the time the bails come off. Well done Asad on running Taufeeq out, on refusing a single when as the frsher, younger partner he should be initiating these quick single. and a non-sarcastic well done to Taufeeq Umar. Close to 12 hours in this heat, setting the innings up, seeing Pakistan through to a lead

They sent Gul the hard hitter 
Bhai delcare he kar do 
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
Umer Gul came in to bat? This does not make any sense. If you still want to bat send in Akmal....

Misbah has declared the innings, Asad is not even looking towards the dressing room 
I hope they dont go too hard on the youngster 
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
Misbah has declared the innings, Asad is not even looking towards the dressing room. I know the young man might have insecurities about his place in the side, but the result is a very disappointing innings. Be that as it may, Pakistan have declared with a lead of 314 runs with two days and about 11 overs to go
nah mairay bhai dar maat 
Shoaib Malik must be happy

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
A wicket or two today would be nice :)
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
Alright guys...... at least 1 wicket today in remaining 11 overs and if they can take 2 ...that will be a huge bonus :)

Sangakarra's + Dilshan's wicket would be the key ..... both can score at a good rate

Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
“Its not the first time Paranavitana has got golden-duck against Pakistan. It happened to him in his debut too which was against Pakistan and, interestingly, at that time bowler was also Umar Gul” Mazher Arshad, you are a legend. Where were you hiding? :cricinfo:
Overall this is the 3rd time when he got golden duck :cobra:
Re: 1st Test :Pakistan v Sri Lanka 18th-22Oct 2011
