Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

A big lump of a cloud is moving in towards the ground. It was all blue only a little while ago

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

Can't they ball wide ? Anyone watching on TV ? Is there any tactics by Paksitani team to stop runs

1.3
Junaid Khan to Jayawardene, FOUR

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

Lankan RR 6.5

Not often that you see a side lose a test match after scoring 450 in the first innings...

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

pathetic Pakistani batting line up........as always

honestly they deserve to lose the way they batted in the second innings but nothing new here....same script

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

1.5
Junaid Khan to Jayawardene, 1 run, he pulls this one down to deep square leg as the sun comes back out.

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

But this is Pakistan :p

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

No boundaries please :naraz:

2.6
Saeed Ajmal to Tharanga, FOUR, he uses whatever little room is available there and cuts it fine on the off side for another boundary

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

There are 10 other instances and all the leading teams have done it.

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

We all know that. Pakistan can engineer a defeat from no where.

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

This is the match I was talking about, Pakistan scored 439 in 1st inning but collapsed in 2nd inning and not allowed England to score 124 runs. Great Khan and Wasim with 3 run outs did the trick.

I think last over by Junaid was smart one.

rssampat: "@ Neil; Well, Looking at the way the Pakistan team is bowling, it looks like they are lot more in a hurry to finish this off more quickly than the Lankan's"

3.6
Junaid Khan to Tharanga, no run, short and wide, Tharanga crashes it off the back foot but Shehzad leaps up at point to cut it off. Excellent save there

3.5
Junaid Khan to Tharanga, no run, length delivery at 139 kph, the batsman defends it back down the pitch

3.5
Junaid Khan to Tharanga, 1 wide, that's a quick bouncer, but that has sailed way over the batsman, the umpire calls it a wide

3.4
Junaid Khan to Jayawardene, 1 run, short ball this time that got big on the batsman, Mahela swivels and hooks this down to fine leg for a single

OK..so looks like we dont even have a delay strategy in place
indians were drying to lose the match in one session and sure they did....and today we are doing the same...

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle

They can take all fielder are on ON or Off side. This is not ODI.

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
