**Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

[Z-Man]

I feel sorry for Sarfaraz.
There was a nick, sadly no hotspot means he has to go
Probably means an end to his career.

 

[Himannv]

We're finally doing somethings right for a change in this series. Our batting is a bigger worry than the bowling though in ODIs.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Why couldn't Afridi have played like this his whole career. Could have been a good batsman.

 

[Athlai]

Cricinfo:



..328 ODIs and they haven't learnt a thing it seems

Afridi playing a pretty good knock here.

 

[salman85]

Top innings by Afridi so far.

And having said that,Ajmal has played an equally vital knock.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Damn Afridi gone. Still a good knock though under pressure.

 

[Z-Man]

Dammit. Why does Ramiz Speak? He should not praise any player at all. Jinxes everytime he praises someone.

 

[r3alist]

neither it is necessary to always have Asifs in the team

ASIf>akhtar as a bowler, just saying.

 

[smash84]

Afridi played well.

The wicket seems a bit slow.

Let's see what Pakistan have to offer. Can't be easy bowling with dew

 

[smash84]

ASIf>akhtar as a bowler, just saying.

With both at their peaks it is difficult to choose.

Akhtar at his peak could roll out very good batting sides alone.

 

[Z-Man]

So once again Ramiz says WoW and Ajmal gets out the next ball

 

[r3alist]

With both at their peaks it is difficult to choose.

Akhtar at his peak could roll out very good batting sides alone.

So could asif, just at a lower speed.

He could also bowl longer spells and less injury prone.

Also more consistent.

But they are both history now, so let's not go there

 

[smash84]

I think Akhtar's SR at his peak was higher than Asif's and average was better too (I think)

 

[Faisal1985]

If Afridi cant bowl here.. it might be game over..mean while Cheema bowling complete non sense...i think spinners should have been brought on much earlier..

 

[r3alist]

If Afridi cant bowl here.. it might be game over..mean while Cheema bowling complete non sense...i think fielders should have been brought on much earlier..

He took two wickets, not complete nonsense.

 

[Faisal1985]

Hafiz on finally...i think the spinners should really take the pace off the ball

 

[Faisal1985]

He took two wickets, not complete nonsense.

Well at that moment he had bowld a.wide.
However, Hafiz just got Chandimal...

 

[Agent Nationaux]

What happened to Afridi?

 

[Xuhaib]

This is the 201th odi at Sharjah and Sl gets to chase 201 considering the past history of both Sharjah and Pakistan I would be interested to have a look in if I was ICC

 

[Faisal1985]

His knee got stuck in the mud while diving to save a boundry he seemed in a lot of pain...but Malik and Hafiz...doing a good job so far with Ajmal yet to bowl..
