Another wicket for Akhtar, been a quality comeback from him.

 

[Xuhaib]

Pakistan taking catches

 

[Manee]

Shoaib looks fit-ish but the beast of 99-05 is trully finished.

I think you're overestimating the old Shoaib. He'd have series at 150kph+ but did spend a lot of time, as he is now, at around 145kph.

Akthar! Akthaar!

I think I have seen Shoaib more then you 2001-2005 he was consistently 150+ until or unless the pitch was offering nothing then he would hold back a touch.

Akmal screws up stumping.

Akmal screws up stumping.

I would be shocked if he gets a stumping.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Give him a break, he's juggling twin responsibilities in South Africa and Sri Lanka.

tbf to him he's handling it well one dropped catch and a missed stumping just another day at the office for him.

 

[Xuhaib]

Ramiz at his nauseating best.

 

[Himannv]

Saved by Mathews again. Have to say I'm steadily becoming a big fan. Performing really well.

Have to say, that was a fantastic looking bowling attack. Akthar, Asif, Aamer, Razzaq and Afridi. Give them time together and I think they'll be a force to reckon with.

 

[L Trumper]

Great bowling effort, but allowed too much in the end. SL get to 242 out of nowhere. Should be a good chase, if PAK doesn't implode.

 

[Teja.]

What a **** batting display early on

 

[Athlai]

Mathews is really starting to seem comfortable at this level now.

 

[Teja.]

Considering he came in at 30-4, Afridi is playing a classic ODI Innings.

 

[Fusion]

Been very impressed by his innings. Came in under extreme pressure and is playing a fine Captain's knock.

 

[Faisal1985]

Those 2 runouts will be match turning....

 

[Faisal1985]

Only need to pick up singles and doubles, if they get out playing wild shots it will be their own mistake losing from this point onwards....

 

[Faisal1985]

This is truly a breath of fresh air, watching Afridi getting a convincing 50 and possibly a hundred...

 

[Sir Alex]

Phew.. an Afridi innings after a millenium..
