Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
yeah wicket is playing tricks..but srilankans have to bowl really well still..if jaysuriya does'nt bat tomorrow n they dont cross 200..Advantage Pakistan
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
The target may be difficult but should be achievable because its not like 5th day wicket. Yes, its a bowlers wicket but with some application (uh oh) our team can get there.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
I bet AFRIDI and AKHTAR alone would have chased the target by themselves had AFRIDI been given the chance at the top order. Dang Nabbit, those Iqbals and Inzamams of the world, always in the spotlight and never stepping down for others to make a name for themselves. Such a shame. The status of Pakistan is now that of Hong Kong, only secondary, plus the latter has more beautiful sceneries than our Swats and Abottabad*s and *Murrees could ever dream of having; the lucious streams of rivers flowing from one end to the other in a single stream of light as the sun shines upon them; and the citizens residing in Hong Kong are helpful to each other in drought of crops and during the times of great depression. Pakistan's status should now be relegated down to Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in their yesteryears. With AFRIDI and AKHTAR not in the team (!!!!!!), they have already suffered major setback already and it's time to watch REAL cricket. Pakistan will never be able to beat Australia, let alone the biggest power-hungry team in the entire universe, Team USA, led by President Bush. Where is my British passport?

Phew!!! what a day, 
all comes down to Pakistan’s batting 
I hope Pakistan get the 2 wickets early otherwise whatever run they will get will be dearly valueable for Srilanka and put pressure on Pakistan, I hope Pakistan batting plays well and get the target. Go Pakistan 
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
wicket is difficult but it takes somebody like Asif to exploit the conditions out there.Jasuriya is not gonna bet...so chasing 182 or 190 won't be that difficult
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
I am planning on seeing Rao Iftikhar save us the match.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
^^ 
okay maybe he will 
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
yah if the lead is more than 180, we cannot chase it, we have weak batting.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
Hong Kong is better.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
He caught hard hit shot from Imran Farhat and got injured in the process.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
not sure if lankan fast bowlers can bowl like asif...murali will be the key for them
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
20 wickets fallin' on a spectecular day.
Usual crappy Pak batting in the first innings.
Asif rightfully owning the Lankan batting.
How many are willing to bet that Pak can make 200 in the second innings to win the series?
And if they mess it up, how many andaay and tamaatar should be thrown at them at Karachi airport?
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
I believe Pakistan can score 200-230 to win the game, but in case they don't then just one ton of tomato should be good enough :D
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
I will be patiently waiting at the non-striker's end with a robin full of baskets.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
im sorry guys, but i dont see how Pakistan can score more than 185 runs 2 win, they barely scored 170 yesterday. Is it just me or is Pak batting getting weaker and weaker.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
Again, we are too much dependent on individual fireworks :) ... we need a team effort where everyone chips in here and there. Chasing a target around 200 should not be a problem as we were 121/2 in the first innings at one stage.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
They are classic FTB's. Even Inzi to some extent, but Khan and Yusuf markedly. Long tail, weak opening "pair"-does not bode well.
I will still get up at 5.30am, but thats cos I'm a bum and have nothing better to do.
Insha. Pak will win, but dont take a punt.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
lucky da game starts at 5:30 where u r, over here it starts at 11:30 pm and goes to around 5-6, with work in the morning, its torture, but even without work its torture watching pak batting being called upon to win a match for their team.
Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
Same here 
… I still remember those good old days when we used to get up early to watch Pakistan’s tours down under… yahan to time he ulta ho gia hai
