[anil1405]

Shot from Najibullah!!!

 

[Zinzan]

Oh gawd, listening to Andy Moles' voice brings back bad memories....

 

[NUFAN]

Najibullah reminds me of Shakib with the bat.

 

[Spark]

Kid can time a cricket ball.

 

[anil1405]

This guy Najibullah's technique is so exquisite.

Honestly SL deserve to lose this one. None of the dismissals were bowlers forcing mistakes, only that LBW that should've been out.

Tad harsh. It is a 300-310 par batting pitch.

So if SL bat brilliantly they still deserve to lose? Ok..

 

[Spark]

what the hell was that

 

[viriya]

Not even a yorker.. a gift.

 

[anil1405]

And my wait to see Nabi score a big one continues.

If they depend on the oldies again I'd say they do still. What's the point if the likes of Dimuth/Jeevan/Thisara/Thiri can't win a game vs a minnow team?

Your bull**** is seriously starting to grind on me now

 

[Jono]

**** off Malinga

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I just saw the replay of the LBW. Jesus that's absolutely plumb.

I think at the very least you keep the 50% of the ball hitting and make the 'target' the outside of the stump rather than the centre.

we have a winner

Eh, no idea why he is been singled out, doesn't he have a decent record against Pakistan?

 

[ImpatientLime]

guise, did you know that pakistan has a good track record of producing fast bowlers?

if the games in a lull just stfu.

 

[GotSpin]

Holy **** how Was that LBW not out before. Thats ****ed

 

[Bahnz]

Seems to me that Afghanistan have spent too much time watching that ANZ "dream big" ad. They had a good chance to set a testing total on the order of 270/280 here, but by thinking that 300 is par they're now going to struggle to get to 250.

 

[Pratters]

Malinga hasn't been amazing because of his injury but Lakmal has been a huge positive. Have generally really liked how he has bowled. Then, there is Herath too. While a 60% Malinga isn't the same as a 100% Malinga, Lankan bowling isn't completely ****, and cometh the knock outs, they can beat any team. Is still better than Pakistan, England and West Indies and probably a bit better than India too.
