saket123 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Cricket, in the near future would be deemed as the national sport for socialistic/liberal/communistic/left leaning countries..(all part of Big Nanny Government policies). It is almost there already...There are probably more punitive rules in cricket to punish the players than there are to specify methodology of the game. It's just getting more and more out of control. The powers-to-be in Cricket don't understand the L of Libertarianism. Getting suspended for a Test Match because you went over by 3 overs is preposterous and dictatorial. Somebody needs to slap the crap out of these power-hungry politician wannabes.
MIMI Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I guess YK will be the captain Captaincy should go to Hafeez If pak wants him to be their future captain..

jairamesh Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 To think many Pakistani pundits and fan were thinking of a slight possibility of 3-0 victory and over-take India in the rankings. At this rate, bloody Sri Lanka will be displacing Pakistan in the rankings. :hysterical:
saneindian Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Whatmore - The whiner SLCB conspired with ICC not to have DRS for this series when they had it for the England series ICC conspiracy to get Misbah, his best player, banned from the first test to weaken Pakistan and stop their march to world supremacy. :winky: Iska rona abhi se chaalu ho gaya. What next? SLCB has made life tough for Pak players by scheduling the series in extremely humid months?
Ultimate_Game Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Height of irony... Pakis moaning about umpiring :haha:
Sean Bradley Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Fair decision would have made an adverse effect on the loosing margin by 50 odd runs, :hysterical::giggle: .... i trust pakistani batsmen's fetish for brain farts !

Feed Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Pakistan declare after making 551 Pakistan resisted the temptation of declaring overnight on 488, and came out with an apparent target of 550 in mind More... Rain returns to hurt chances of result The Report by Sidharth Monga July 2, 2012 Sri Lanka 70 for 1 (Dilshan 46*, Junaid 1-22) trail Pakistan 551 for 6 dec. (Hafeez 196, Ali 157, Misbah 66*, Herath 3-165) by 481 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Misbah-ul-Haq declared after making a quick half-century and taking Pakistan past 550 Afternoon showers on day three put an outright result in serious doubt as only one session could be played out. In that session, Pakistan added 63 to their overnight 488 before declaring. In the next 70 minutes, Sri Lanka were put through a sterner test than the Pakistan openers, but they lost just one wicket. Pakistan's quicks generated more response from the pitch than their Sri Lankan counterparts, but that didn't translate into too much success as Tillakaratne Dilshan rode his luck. An overnight declaration on 488 was a consideration because of the weather: 45 overs had already been lost on day two, and forecast for the rest of the Test wasn't the brightest either. However, Pakistan went for the scoreboard pressure, and declared only after they reached 550. Pakistan didn't meander aimlessly, though: Misbah-ul-Haq went at a strike-rate of 82.50, much higher than his ODI career statistic, and Abdur Rehman hit two straight sixes in his 18 off 13. It took Pakistan little under an hour, and 12.4 overs, to score the 63 runs that took them past 550. In the process Misbah reached his 17th half-century, scoring 37 off 40 balls on the third morning. The fields were spread far out so he had to rely more on well-placed ones and twos as opposed to boundaries. Asad Shafiq and Adnan Akmal perished for the cause, but Rehman provided the required thrust with sixes off both spinners. Rangana Herath bowled one over fewer than a whole ODI innings. Ten minutes later, with runs on board already, Pakistan made a spirited start with the ball. Aizaz Cheema and Junaid Khan bowled faster and hit the seam more often than the Sri Lankan bowlers. As a result, they bowled more threatening deliveries in one spell than Sri Lanka did in the whole innings. Cheema began with a short-of-a-length delivery that reared towards Tharanga Paranavitana's chest. Paranavitana never settled in, and was caught bat-pad to a Junaid delivery that seamed in. This was Paranavitana's seventh duck in his 28th Test, a high rate for a Test opener. Tillakaratne Dilshan, at the other end, tried every trick in the book to get out, but the pitch and luck smiled on him benevolently. The seam movement in Junaid's first over seemed to have rattled him, and he hoicked at the last ball of that over; the leading edge fell straight of mid-on. Until lunch, Dilshan kept slashing and flashing, twice edging short of the cordon, once bisecting keeper and first slip. In Saeed Ajmal's first over, minutes before lunch, he survived a desperately close lbw shout when he was hit just above the knee roll bang in front and inside the crease. However, nothing stopped the aggressive Dilshan: he followed that lbw shout with two lofted fours, a response not too different to the rest of his innings. By lunch he had raced along to 46 off 54. Kumar Sangakkara was much more reassuring for Sri Lanka, clipping the first ball he faced for four, and continuing to do so. The only moment of concern at Sangakkara's end arrived when he got a thick inside edge onto his pad, but it was too meaty for Azhar Ali at short leg to react in time. No play was possible after lunch.

Feed Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Sri Lanka need 270 after Shafiq century Pakistan may have scored enough to prompt Sri Lanka to play for a draw after the hosts, already 1-0 up in the series, failed to finish off the Pakistan innings early on the final day More... Sri Lanka need 270 after Shafiq century The Report by Siddhartha Talya July 12, 2012 Lunch Sri Lanka 337 and 27 for 0 (Chandimal 14*, Paranavitana 9*) need another 243 to beat Pakistan 226 and 380 for 8 dec (Ali 136, Shafiq 100*) Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details Asad Shafiq reached his second Test century Pakistan may have scored enough to prompt Sri Lanka to play for a draw after the hosts, already 1-0 up in the series, failed to finish off the Pakistan innings early on the final day. Asad Shafiq marched towards his second Test century and Adnan Akmal, batting with a hairline fracture on his left ring finger, bravely kept them at bay for more than 28 overs, stretching Pakistan's lead to 269 and leaving Sri Lanka with 71 overs to bat. Sri Lanka have only chased more than 200 to win twice in Tests, though the pitch under sunny skies in Pallekele didn't show any major signs of threat. The movement for the seamers was negligible, and same with the spin for Rangana Herath. It helped Pakistan that Sri Lanka only attacked from one end. Shafiq batted calmly, his task made easier by the fact that Sri Lanka employed a spread field when he was on strike. He initially tried to protect Akmal, refusing singles, but ultimately showed no hesitation in turning the strike over, as Akmal proved he was more than capable at blocking one end. Shafiq had a fielder in the deep in the V, and two near the boundary square of the wicket, and he comfortably worked the ball around for singles, twos and also dispatched a full toss from Dilhara Fernando for a boundary through midwicket. Akmal defended well, felt the pain when the ball hit the bat hard but stuck it out, playing spin with more ease, even reverse-sweeping Herath for a four. Following the first hour, with a clear message from the dressing room to step it up, Akmal repeated that shot and Shafiq slog-swept Herath for four more. Amid a spate of singles picked through square leg, midwicket and in the in-field on the off side, Shafiq also thrashed Thisara Perera through long-off and deep extra cover, before getting a top-edge to the fine-leg boundary. He brought up his century half an hour before lunch, immediately prompting Misbah-ul-Haq to declare the innings. Seventy-one overs in conditions favouring batsmen, against a line-up that bats deep, left the visitors with a stiff task of forcing a victory and levelling the series. However, with their seamers, led by Junaid Khan, bowling flat out, the hosts were under pressure to survive that attack. Pakistan did sense a chance with Tharanga Paranavitana on strike, as he chased a wide delivery from Umar Gul to be beaten first ball, then getting a leading edge past gully against an away-going delivery. Junaid didn't take long to go round the wicket to the right-hander, Dinesh Chandimal's tendency to shuffle across and fall over giving the bowler a healthy chance of an lbw. But Chandimal middle the ball well, his natural inclination to attack taking over. He slashed Gul through point, drove him down the ground and pulled him through square leg, all in the over before lunch to mark a positive start.
cameron_black Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 should have gone for the win in the 3rd test, pathetic stuff from SL. mahela should never ever talk about positive cricket again in press conferences. might be a good one day captain, but time and again he's proven he's not as sharp or imaginative in test cricket.
