Waqar joining the Aussie coaching staff is odd seeing as he wanted time off due to health reasons for both him and his wife. He would do a good job mind you with a young crop of Aussie bowlers who struggle to produce reverse swing.
Rain expected again today, so expect DL to be in force.
Bowl first again if it's gonna rain.
Lanka won toss and chose to bat. Interesting.
Which Umar Gul has turned up today?
Which Sohail has turned up today?
Has the wicket improved or are we bowling pants?
our batsmen must have already got their legs shaking.
84/2. Looks like We'll be chasing 230 above.
from a Srilankan point of view they will really screwup if they only manage 230. They are maintaining a sound run rate plus have wickets in hands, 250 is easily attainable.
Anything over 220 and they might as well forfeit the chase.
agreed Kash, 220 is a bit 40 runs above our capacity to chase.
Sami is really lucky to miss this match or the selector's memories would have been easily refreshed of the thrashings he used to get.
liked to see Dilshan scoring today.
281 to chase. We need something special from Younis today, he is due a good innings for some time.
And this thread is Dead!
280 to chase.
Never going to happen if we have Younis & Misbah at 3+4. Need Akmal to seperate them especially if we are only one down by 15/20 overs.
This site is dead, but so is the CMS site.
I think having one less batsman is going to cost us in this chase. We should really consider bringing Kamran Akmal back for ODIs, if not T20 at least.
Robin do you remember Sydney test, Ross Taylor, Mohali semifinal? and yet you want Kamran Akmal back! This is beyond me.
Didn't sarfraz dropped one today as well of mahela?
I don't know man, his batting is quiet good though.
Can't believe Hafeez didn't bowl out. 8 overs and he only gave 30 runs.
If Sarfraz fails, either give him some time and see if he can improve or not, or simply switch to someone new rather then bringing back the same idiot akmal. You are right on his batting but his main job is to be efficient in keeping wickets which he has failed to do on several occasions.
Seriously dude, the guy was a pain. And it has took long to get rid of him.
Fair enough.
Do you think we can chase 280?
I hope we will, but as you said Umar Akmal needs to come up in the order.
