2nd Test - Pakistan v SL

the match will start in 5mins

Allah madad karay.
waisay, dont you think inzi wins too many tosses. i wish we decided games on basis of toss.
:jhanda:

im worried about Inzi's captaincy. I'm not sure we want the Lankans batting first.
Do we really want to bat last against the Lankans wth all their Spinners?

any word on how good Riaz Afridi looks?

I heared he has got a similar action to Freddy Flintoff!!

yes i,d like to know that too,,,
how are the bowlers looking? any close calls yet? or are the batsmen finding it easy?

anybody know the condition of the pitch since inzi opted to bat first. let's hope this is not the same decision as the one in england :)

I thought he opted to field.
hmmm.

what kinda speed is Riaz Afridi generating?

"Riaz Afridi to Atapattu, no run, full ball, outside off, tries to
leave it and ball gets the edge on the bounce to slip"

i meant to say since he opted to bowl, that was a typo.

did naveed or afirdi show any signs that they might pick up any wickets????

or do we just have to wait for wickets to be gifted....

imagine losing shoaib and sami both in the same game....

rana is really swinging the ball very well. Dont know about afridi

8.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Jayasuriya, one run, defends it to cover for a
quick single and gets his 1000 test runs in this year

Afidi is not fast at all, around 78-82
But he is bowling well still

NO EXTRAS SO FAR.

Rarity in Pakistan cricket.

with akhtar and sami out of the match i dont see any result in favor of pak side… :frowning:

congrats we’ve lost the series… :crying:

41 in 15 overs....

no wickets yet and i dont expect any to come....
i hope the ball turns and kaneria does something....
werna with naveed, riaz and razzaq i dont have any hopes....

or maybe the batsmen get excited and go for a wrong shot....
(as if attapatu and jaysuria will eally do such a favor for us)

The balling is pretty good soo far, but the batsmen are not taking any risks either.

Rana did 10 overs straight. pretty impressive.

Afridi back into attack
lets hope he takes his first wicket.

afridi is bowling pretty good, he has a really good line and length... not too fast though, if he puts all his jaan into it he can hit 80, but he has a good outswinger, i dont know why alot of ppl say he chucks, his action looks pretty good to me but he moves his arm kinda weird when he bowls, u'll have to see it to understand what i mean... rana was getting some pretty good pace, i think he clocked one at almost 88mph... he was swinging it alot... but theres no penetration with this bowling attack... sri lanka doesnt look threatened at all by it... inzi said the pitch is goona trouble the batters for the first 2 hrs... i sure as hell hope they can bag some wickets in that time...its grassy but i dont know...
