Thread for Pak vs SL series

[Deep Dey]

First topic message reminder :

Discuss here about Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Series,2011 in detail(only international matches(Test,ODI,T20))

UAE is the adopted home for Pakistan's Matches as well as bring back Cricket to UAE. This will surely one of the most tiring series of the year because of the heat in UAE. Going by last year's Pak vs SA series here, you can expect bowlers will have no rejoice. More importantly curators of India will be jealous of UAE curators because pitches here are evn more flatter than India.
Last year even DAle Steyn was useless here.
We can expect huge hundreds scored by batsman and huge score by both teams.

S Prasanna to Razzaq, out Caught by Thissara Perera at long on!! The pressure was building on, and Razzaq who was sent out to score some quick runs was feeling it. Comes down the track and looks to smash a fuller delivery over long on, but fails to get under it. Razzaq c Thissara Perera b S Prasanna 6(16)

Lasith Malinga [4.0-0-21-0] is back into the attack

[Legend Killer Harshit]

35.4 Malinga to Umar Akmal, FOUR!!, you can't bowl that short in the powerplay, especially to an exuberant youngster like Akmal. He stands up straight and pulls it in the gap between midwicket and mid on. First boundary for him

[Legend Killer Harshit]

35.5 Malinga to Umar Akmal, out Bowled!! Excellent return from Malinga, Akmal made a big mistake in not respecting him. It Full, fast and on the stumps, Umar Akmal shuffled too far across to the off side and looked to be cute, the ball crashed into the leg stump. Umar Akmal b Malinga 7(7) [4s-1]

38.3 Thissara Perera to Younis Khan, FOUR!!, at last a boundary in the powerplay of the bat of Khan. Good length delivery on the middle stump, Younis Khan takes a step forward and plays the uppish straight drive which just about evades the outstretched hands of mid on. No fielder behind him, the ball rolls to the boundary

39.3 Malinga to Misbah-ul-Haq, out Misbah-ul-Haq Run Out!! Comedy, total comedy. Slower delivery on the pads, Misbah-ul-Haq turns it to the leg side, the ball rolls of his pads in front of him. He is not at all interested in the single, but Younis runs quickly to the other side. Misbah-ul-Haq run out (Malinga) 7(14)
