SL v Pak, 1st ODI, Asia Cup, Dambulla, June 15, 2010

The return of the greatest fast bowler ever in the known universe!!

*Planet Pakistan mode off*

What, FIGJAM is playing??

Chucktar, 1-15 off 5. Presentable.

I'm sure he was blown up after that spell

seems like a sensational comeback for Akhtar

p.s Fromage, there was already a thread on this subject

shocking batting as always

33/4 PAK

This 16 year old sure can bat.

Quality innings from Afridi(he seems out of shape though) and it shows how crap Pak batting is that despite such an amazing innings they couldn't chase down 242


I am really happy for Shoaib Akhtar and somewhat happy for Malinga as well

i see Akhtar's brilliant performance has left Taipan speechless

I think screaming at World Cup games has more likely left him speechless.

harsh but fair . . .

You're a bad, bad man taccy.

What an innings by Afridi!!!

7 6s!!!!!!! He must be tantalizingly close to WR for most 6s.

And did Murali again got tonked around? Now see him bagging a 5-for against us.

12 sixes is the JAMODI record

I meant hitting most 6s in your career.

he needs three more to draw level with Jayasuriya (267 to 270)

LB is 3rd with 190

<L has 185

Pak have now lost 8 consecutive ODIs and 10 out of last 11 of their ODIs.

They've not won an ODI for almost 8 months now.

Cheers, embee.

Got to say I was simply amazed at seeing Razzaq's innings from the other end. As if he was batting on a different pitch.

You got to make your runs at somewhat better clip especially if you're Razzaq and are capable of producing some good hits down the ground. With the benefit of hindsight, one can safely say had he showed a bit more urgency in his batting, Afridi's innings would've been called one of the greatest ODI innings ever played.

I know Sanga was well within his rights not to allow the runner to Afrdi but sometimes a bit of sportsmanship goes a long way in how you're perceived off the pitch.

Would need only 1 game to do that and thats against us.

PP are reporting that Aamer talked on his mobile in the team dressing room. Isn't this a serious transgression of ACU laws?

I know its only a stupid mistake and he is so young, still........
