SL shades the first day

by skully Fri 22 Jun 2012, 14:01

Well played to Dilligaf and Sanga.

DRS makes a huge difference.

Umpires had a poor day at the office and SL should have been at least 5 down by now.

How come Hafeez has only bowled 8 overs thus far on what has been described as a very helpful deck for spinners?

He is probably trying to be selfless because he is the captaining for the 1st time in test cricket. I agree he should bowl more

by PlanetPakistan Fri 22 Jun 2012, 23:54

Seems a LONG time since PAK swept England....

Today was a very bad for PAK cricket.

Well, you're facing batsmen who can play spin now.

by skully Sat 23 Jun 2012, 00:48

More's the pity that we have no spinners leading up to Ashes 13.

by lardbucket Sat 23 Jun 2012, 01:00

Aye, the best spinner in the country has just retired from FC cricket.

by skully Sat 23 Jun 2012, 06:43

Jaya goes early but Sanga carries on.

by Henry Sat 23 Jun 2012, 06:44

Ajmal gets Samaraweera and then Mathews first ball. Every time I watch Ajmal bowl, I can't believe how much he chucks it.

by tricycle Sat 23 Jun 2012, 06:45

They've scratched themselves out have Lanka today.
Five fer for him. Why couldn't another bowler get a wicket?

by JGK Sat 23 Jun 2012, 06:48

Ajmal on a hat trick and on course for a 10 fer.

by skully Sat 23 Jun 2012, 07:08

Sanga must be sighing at the other end.

by Brass Monkey Sat 23 Jun 2012, 07:30

At least Prasanna is sticking around to combat the chucker.

by taipan Sat 23 Jun 2012, 09:13

The way Sanga is going he could knock off his 10k in this series

Sagacity. At least no 10 fer for Ajmal.

by Brass Monkey Sat 23 Jun 2012, 11:01

Sanga 190* out of 463/9 - ledge.

by tricycle Sat 23 Jun 2012, 11:22

And not out at 199.

by taipan Sat 23 Jun 2012, 11:26

Terrible luck

by skully Sat 23 Jun 2012, 11:28

Poor old Sanga. Scoreboard said the six took him to 200, lots of celebrations but alas no. Oops. Stranded on 199*. What a player.

Hafeez seriously underbowled himself.
