7 Wickets for 19 Runs

[Saj]

Don't think I have seen a collapse of that magnitude for years.

Any other collapses of this magnitude spring to mind?

[smoothcriminal]

I left the match when both of them got to their 50's. I was like " The Razzaq-esque comeback was of the older days". I cannot believe I missed it. I came back when they were 8 down.


God bless you all!

[Jo_Don]

9/21 in test cricket just the other day :D

[PakPosheeda]

Yes. Another Pak vs SL match in Sharjah in late 90s.

Chasing 196 odd, SL were 173/2 and were all out on 196 to leave the match tied.

[TheHK16]

im sure we have bettered that

[Anwar_194]

Sunday well spent

[Down2Earth]

this is the magic of Sharjah. Wonderful comeback.

Sydney definitely comes to mind but this was something else.

[Savak]

Something the anti corruption unit should investigate if they were to prove their impartiality and unfairness, or its just a fact that the Sri Lankans are a really ordinary team at this point in time.

India lost 7 for 25 or something against SA this year in world cup. :(

that is so epic. now I don't feel bad for ruining my 2 week long healthy eating and working out day with a lot of junk food eaten today.

how was NZ's collapse earlier this year in the test matches? I remember telling hassan0987 to go to isleep as nothing will happen. after that :wahab wen't beserks and we won :inzi

God bless u 2 :)

[Zaz]

I left with 50 needed and sanga/jaya batting well

Checked score and they were 5 down Still didnt expect this to happen!!

[freelance_cricketer]

We against Saffers in World Cup 2011 ? :13:

That 21-9 one was the ultimate but it occfured from beginning. So they never had a start.

[freelance_cricketer]

India lost 7 for 25 or something against SA this year in world cup. :(

Yeah that was quite a collapse, we were set for a total close to 400 but thanks to it, made 320 only (only? lol )

[Cricfan4eva]

Nah, we were 260-270ish at 40 overs, and ended up being 296 all out. Not even 300 lol

It was unbelievable.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Brilliant to watch, glad I didn't switch the tv over !

[Anwar_194]

didn't india did that in wc?

[insaftak]

Are you suggesting ICC should investigate this :O

[Pak_Pace]

The word "collapse" should be restricted where a team in a winning position loses after losing several wickets for a few runs.

That 21/9 or the India one in the WC aren't really that epic. Well maybe the 21/9 was but not in the same manner as the one today.

A lead of 188, and collapsing to 21/9 in the 2nd innings is pretty epic :D It was in test cricket too, where there's no pressure to score quickly. Although SL's one today is right up there as well.

[freelance_cricketer]

Nah, we were 260-270ish at 40 overs, and ended up being 296 all out. Not even 300 lol

It was unbelievable.

We should have made 370+ from that position. That's what we usually do when we are at 270-3 in 40 overs

[freelance_cricketer]

LOL @ Aussie 21-9 not being epic.

Oh hell yea it was bloody epic :)))

[moiez_no1]

:afridi:afridisri lanka got destroyed :afridi :afridi

[Acim]

Afridi ate em alive tonight

[sakss]

what a game...glad i was at the stadium..... :)

[Shahid20Ten]

when afridi is there anythings is possible

[Wiji]

Chasing 196 odd, SL were 173/2 and were all out on 196 to leave the match tied.
I'm sure there were talks of 'fixing'. But I don't think it was possible. The Pakistani fielders were actually getting direct hits (couple pf runouts) at the most difficult angles. And Razzaq was bowling banana inswingers in the evening.

[the SHA]

Its uncanny how such collapses tend to keep happening at Sharjah...

[AmmarAshraf]

Pakistan 199-4 chasing 234.

Malik the CULPRIT in this match :)

[W63L35]

6 wickets for 8 runs today in 13 balls.

[duostyle]

Ajmal was superb! He put the breaks on their innings and Cheema then Gul cleaned them up. Mark it down as another great comeback from our team :)

I have been saying for ages, cricket ( especially one day and T20) are new name of WWE.

[talha3]

:))) Sri Lanka the new collapse team.

[anakwalajinn]

I would rather put it like this - That's Pakistan for you! :D :pkflag

That was a painful loss. Still cant forget Afridi's shot.
