Official Thread: Pak vs Srl(1st Innings- SRL Batting) [19/3/06]

[Amir]

I have been told SRL are batting, so it looks like we might be playing with our strength, however with a slow track it will get more and more difficult.

If the ball swings early, hopefully we can dent the Lankans

[cavin420]

ITS ABOUT TO BEGIN :o:O:O

[Sheikh]

I have been told SRL are batting, so it looks like we might be playing with our strength, however with a slow track it will get more and more difficult.

If the ball swings early, hopefully we can dent the Lankans
Is that confrimed and if so, any team news?

[Amir]

My friend told me this news and my stream is starting now, so i will get back to you on that.

[UJ]

Hmm, SL recent success has been based on batting first, making a decent target and defending with thei spinners.

In saying that it will be difficult against the new ball

[Amir]

Oh my friend said his willow stream starts 40 misn early than game, so Manjrekar said Inzi won toss and elected to field.

[UJ]

Yeah its a day match isn't it?

[Amir]

Now Cricinfo is confirming with me

[Pathan007]

in day match toss doesn't matter. if it was night then it would've made some difference.

[cavin420]

new wicket going to be used for this one!

pak win the tosss
and are bowling!

[Sheikh]

wonderful point my friend, lets hope thats a good start to the day!

:19: :19: :27: :))

[Pathan007]

but i still think we should've batted 1st.

[hatch101]

Pakistan chose to field! :o

[Amir]

Inzi: ball will hopefully move early with moisture. Inzi believes 230-240 is a good total on this track. We playing positive cricket. Early on, some CHANGES IN THE BATTING ORDER.

Mahela: Enjoy captaincy. Some patches on the pitch, but not dangers. Looks like wicket will get much slower. 220+ a good score. Latish was impressive.

[Amir]

same team retained

[Amir]

MAnjy boasting about India and he is clearly enjoying it with a smirk on his face.

[Waseem]

Apparently the schedule for rest of the series has been changed because of poor weather, we have EXTRA days if the match is disrupted because of rain.

Revised schedule:

March 19: Second ODI (R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo).

March 22: Third ODI (SSC Ground, Colombo).

March 26-30: First Test (SSC Ground, Colombo).

[Amir]

LBW! ASIF GETS sangakarra...sangakarra cant believe it and shows dissent

[alybaba]

That was a bad decision.

[UJ]

Huge blow that!!!

Asif gets his 1st

[Saqib]

WICKET:Mohammed Asif to Sanagakara LBW, it way down the leg side cam back in from the leg. Was going to hit the the middel. But it can't be out in the rules book.

[Pathan007]

Umpire kon ta?

[Saqib]

I would call that a very very bad decision, Pakistan lucky to get it !

[UJ]

That was a terrible decision...You gotta feel for Sangakkara there

[Pathan007]

5.4 Mohammad Asif to Sangakkara, OUT: Oh Dear! pitched outside the leg
stump and straighten, sangakkara move back and defends, ball raps
the pads huge appeal and umpire give it OUT ball going above the
stumps

[Saqib]

Playe very fine to the boundry by Tharnaga FOUR of the pads down the leg poor bowling can't bow there.

[Amir]

Thangara looking good. He has made 100 vs NZ and capable of going onto a big score.

[Genghis]

Cricinfo commentator - "Sangakkara unlucky there, it was a bad decision from Umpire Wijewardene."

[Saqib]

folowed up by a poor again FOUR, mohammed asif tried buy failed to keep it in the ground. Poor bowling here by Rana. Very wide outside the off stump engouh room to cut.

[Saqib]

This tharanga looks very good ! He on for something here Pakistan nightmare :P, he time and placae the ball very well into the gaps.

[Genghis]

Ooooh that's a very nice shot. Tharanga pulls a bouncer for 4

[Saqib]

Pulled away to the boundry, Sri Lanka looks vey positive, was a poor delivery very short batsman rocked back and pulled to the boundry

[Amir]

Thangara with a great pull for four....he looks good....he can go onto that big one.

[Saqib]

Good footwork by Afridi stopped the runs :P

Arnold Drags it on

SL 5 down and in real trouble now folks

[Saqib]

Faveez Maharoof is the new batsman,

wasn't a good shot either by Arnold looking to play to extra cover.

[Saqib]

I think we see the first result after Waqar installed, not even one wide or noball !

[Saqib]

The Sri Lankans are finding the fielders,
camera shows a happy Waqa enyoing his cricet :)

GOOD DELIVEYR PLAYED STRIAGHT TO THE FIELDER

RAO GETS ONE POOR SHOT BY THE BATSMAN

[Saqib]

Batsman out was Farveez Maharoof in comes the last batsman more like bowling allrounder to me. Sri lanka in realy trouble some good bowling by our bowlers drying up the runs not to forget goood captaincy aswell by inzi good field placement.

took a good catch afridi !

[UJ]

Wow Rao has 2 now!!!

51/6---dissapointing for SL

[Saqib]

Another good thing the fielding has been so far extremly good !

Lots of shy at the stumps we definetly made some homework.

[Saqib]

yes outside edge to the keeper

another gone sri Lanka 53-7

easy take by Kamran

[badxhah]

lo lo karachi goone

[tahaqureshi]

Flintoff has just hit a SIX of the Baruch Express! :)))

[Saqib]

lo lo karachi goone
:))

[Saqib]

We are in the sri Lanks tails boys

we have Nuwan Kulasekara

[Saqib]

The bowling speed

it has been round 75/85 mp, it has been on a slowe side but the good thing was line and length !

[Saqib]

Short delivery worked away to the boundry

[Saqib]

Lowest totat at this ground was 86 Holland v SL 2002

[Saqib]

wow some good movement by Rao, ball moved away quiet a bit.\

[Saqib]

After 22 overs 61-7

Dilshan 19 (23)
Kulasekra 0 (4)

Razzaq continues bowls a short one

[Waheed_one]

Should i post another joke?

[Saqib]

[Waheed_one]

Joke of day by saquib

[Saqib]

64-7
Rao contineus
still 2 slips in

[Saqib]

[tahaqureshi]

Asif back in

[nedian21]

koi Inzi sai kahay tu bring Asif back

[Waheed_one]

anohter one bites the dust

[Waseem]

Asif has given away 16 runs in last 2 overs, that's noT ACCEPTABLE , THAT'S 8 RUNS AN OVER :P

[Jonty]

just 5 extras so far, pretty good

[Saqib]

Ok here is the time again when Pakistan need to wrap up, I could say Inzamam thinking time he waits something to happen. We can bowl sri lanka out less thant 100. We start bowling wides and giving to many runs.

[Saqib]

85-7
overs 29
Dilshan 31 (41)
Kulasekra 7 (30)

[Waseem]

You can't blame Inzamam here, he brought back Asif to break the partnership, it hasn't worked so far but he is definitely THINKING.

[Saqib]

Asif & Afridi are giving to many runs awa,

Pakistan should target Dilshan than we can get into the tails. Doesn't looks so easy , we giving to may extras suddenly :S

[Bailan]

you guys jinxed the 'no xtras' ............ now they are doing the buffet service again

[UJ]

Kulasekara is doing a decent job just hnnging in there

[Saqib]

appeal for an lbw but ball was going down the leg side good decision

[Waheed_one]

It's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.

Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quicke-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.

At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest Wife,

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

PS. Sure is hot down here.

[Saqib]

again an apeal was made for an lbw this one looks a bit closer, was not given

[Bailan]

inzi showing off his sub-standard fielding .... then again he isn't alone in this pack

[Waheed_one]

what is the update guys?

[Saqib]

The Sri Lankan batsman are sweeping alot they are playing against he line. The last one looked very close. Now we have Sohaib Malik at the other gets intresting now inzi wants to see the spinners. And Mohammed Asif back in the pavilion.

His first spun alot !

[Saqib]

95-7 after 31.3 overs

[tahaqureshi]

Malik in..im sure inzi is thinking..the bowling changes are coming!

[Waheed_one]

i rock!

[Saqib]

Lots of turn for the spinners, I mean lots of. Sohaib Malik spinning the ball alot.
intresting to see later in the innings when murali will bowl. We should keep sri lanka down to 125.

[Saqib]

Afridi getting some good bounce in this pitch,
OUT

MISSED COMPLETY

98-8

[tahaqureshi]

AFRIDI gets his man!!!!! woohoo!

[Saqib]

Tyring to pull the ball wasn't short enough would have hit the middel !
the batsman out was Kulasekara.

[Saqib]

The Sri Lanka have still one batsman ou there T.Dilshan 35 (49). They will look to play out the overs just get some singels the spinners are on.

[Saqib]

L.Malinga is the new batsman for Sri Lanka

Good bowling by Afridi the wicket delivery was the straighterone !

[Waheed_one]

Let the curse be upon them

[Saqib]

ohhh that got some bounce, malik also spinning the ball alot it bounce quiet a bit

[Saqib]

100-8
after 34 overs

[Saqib]

Shabash Shabash Lala
Good lala

and cutted it very hard to the boundry Malinga Farhat couldn't stop it.

[aggarwald]

Man, I didn't know there was a Pak-SL match today. And what do I see, SL 99-8. Who said Pak would have lost the 1st ODI? Great bowling performance from everyone. Mark my words, after Mcgrath/Warne retire, Pak bowling will be the best in the world.

[Saqib]

We have Inzamam back into the field he had a mini lunch break !

[Saqib]

110-8 after 36 overs

[Jonty]

time to wrap it up dont you think

[Saqib]

Afridi & Malik are going so quickly between there overs DAMN !

taking not more than 5 minutes per over !

[Saqib]

outside edge not given

big appeal turned down

[Saqib]

T.Dilshan moves to 40, Malinga 7
111-8

[Saqib]

Trakker showed that there was no edge on it, good decision made by the umpire !

[Saqib]

114-8 after 38 overs !
afridi & malik going quickly between there overs !

[Saqib]

Ver short one luck to get away Afridi only single

[Waheed_one]

who are umpires?

[Saqib]

Again some good turn for Afridi, he & malik are doing a good job for there captain, only if they got more wicket. played again backward of squareleg. and the last deliveyr there was big big cut missed it complety wel taken by kamran was quiker one.

[Saqib]

In the air and just short of the fielder Salman Butt, he coud have taken it if he watched the ball closely.

[Saqib]

in 30 minutes of time afridi & malik have bowled 13 overs !

[Slugger]

why the hell do we have a leggie against tailers?!

[Saqib]

Outside ege down to 3rd man for four, Younis Khan had a good chance.

[Slugger]

afrdi gets him lbw gone!

[HAFRIDI]

[Saqib]

[Saqib]

WOW the sri lankans are excited by Murali, big cheer on hi face.

[Saqib]

How Pakistan are bowling today I would say Pakistan could have won the game on friday. We bowled very well, now let hope our batting does click a bit !

[Waheed_one]

what are the stas brothers?

[tahaqureshi]

I think just for fun and entertainment, afridi should open..we don't have many runs to score, and if the regular top order get stuck in, we may not see boom bbom afridi

[Saqib]

big cheer on the face of Murali !

[Slugger]

they finally put some one close to the batsman after missing out on 4 pop up chances

[HAFRIDI]

I think just for fun and entertainment, afridi should open..we don't have many runs to score, and if the regular top order get stuck in, we may not see boom bbom afridi

Sanjay and Rameez said he would open before.

inzy the worst captain ever...he doesn't know how to go for kill...pak is winnin' just for his form and our players having good form and great unity...but inzy captain ? He does play good under pressure and always seems to get captain knock tho..but he's way too laid back...my choice is yunus or afridi ;)
