Sri Lanka Premier League| Day 2 | 12/08/12 | Commentary & Discussion

[Nazir_ Rules]

151-0 after 14 overs

[Watsupdoc]

Seems like an easy victory for Wayamba

[Nazir_ Rules]

Kamrans got 158 at the back of his shirt...

[Nazir_ Rules]

154-0

[Nazir_ Rules]

155-0 after 15 overs

[Executioner]

Uthura looks too weak. They desperately need

[Asif321]

i thinks its gona b world record chasing 180 without loss of wicket

[Executioner]

thats y i hated this stupid draft system. Wayamba has akmals, jayas, iqbals, mahmood, razzaq, taylor. And at the same time Uthura has mubarak, taylor, damad-jee, murali who retired long ago and shakib injured

[Nazir_ Rules]

163-0 after 16 overs.

[TalhaSyed]

Good to see Kami is in some sort of form.

Hope he can carry it on and perform well against VS Aus & more importantly in the world T20.

[Nazir_ Rules]

Kami looking for MOM award.

[Asif321]

If these 2 chase this

This gona be the World Record
Highest First Wicket Patnership Batting 2nd

[Executioner]

look at the crowd

there is supposed to be a home match later on. Crowds are vital for the success of a tournament. The players themselves love playing in big crowds

[Asif321]

World Record ... This is the Highest First wicket partnership while chasing .. in T20 cricket

[Executioner]

The batsman havnt been running properly and yet they are scoring runs at ease. Poor bowling and equally top class batting

[Nazir_ Rules]

171-0 after 18 overs

[Executioner]

why did kamran have to do that?

[TalhaSyed]

[Nazir_ Rules]

Kamran gone. Did his job though.

[Nazir_ Rules]

Need 3 to win. Wayamba's game.

[Executioner]

Is there any chance for both umar and tamim to have brainfarts, helping Uthura to win?

[Executioner]

what a one sided match

Uthura is ordinary

[Asif321]

Well done .....

[Nazir_ Rules]

Easy going for Wayamba and they get their 1st victory.

[Nazir_ Rules]

Next game is Uva Next vs. Basnahira Cricket Dundee

[Nazir_ Rules]

Uva Next squad

S Chanderpaul, TDD Darshanapriya, Fawad Alam, CJ Ferguson, CRD Fernando, JEC Franklin, Hammad Azam, DHA Isanka†, CU Jayasinghe, SHT Kandamby*, AB McDonald, LD Madushanka, EMGDY Munaweera, PBB Rajapaksa, SMSM Senanayake, Shoaib Malik, WU Tharanga, Umar Gul

[Nazir_ Rules]

I think Gul and maybe Malik might get the game.

[Rizwan25]

Wuss the link for YouTube ?

[Executioner]

Uva "NEXT"

Its gonna be tough for Uva against Basnahira. Off-form Gul, franklin and McDonald are their key players so yup, gonna be tough

[Nazir_ Rules]

Which channel is showing the SLPL in the UK?

ESPN are not showing the matches today. They have footie on. Whats the point of showing matches for one day?

SLPL seems unwanted

Actually I was asking for the link for someone else.

Absolutely no interest in the SLPL no matter which Pakistani player is participating

[SLCric]

Basnahira Cricket Dundee won the toss and elected to bat

[Rizwan25]

[TalhaSyed]

2nd match starting!

Basnahira VS Uva

I think Basnahira is the only team in the tourny without any Pak players

[IAJ]

there should be an own thread for youtube watchers. We are 10 minutes behind the guys here

[IAJ]

Gul, Oram, Malik and McDonald the four overseas playing for Uva

[SLCric]

I thought Hammad Azam also was in Uva's squad?

[TalhaSyed]

He is but i guess no game for him today.

& the only Pakistanis in this match. Both in teh Uva team

[TalhaSyed]

"Daniel Smith now has seven successive single-digit scores in T20 cricket."

In the form of his life

How do you access the private stream?

[mastermind_quad]

Wow....Wayamba is the best batting side IMO....

[Asif321]

wanted to see hammad

[Asif321]

uthura , wayamba and Uva have decent kits

[mastermind_quad]

Originally Posted by Asif321 wanted to see hammad

which team???

[Alam_dar]

UVA next is out of balance. They have plenty of bowling Options, but not enough batsmen.

I think they should have gone for one more Batsman instead of Umar Gul.

[Alam_dar]

Bowling line for Uva Next:

1) Umar Gul

2) Fernando

3) Oram

4) Shoaib Malik

5) Prasana

6) Senanayake

7) Andrew McDonald

I think Uva Next should have played one pure batsman instead of Umar Gul.

[mastermind_quad]

Oram on fire......3 wickets

[Asif321]

I can understand your feeling but remember he has to compete with other quality players. If I were him I wouldve been happy to even get in the 6 man intl squad

I wouldve loved to see Elias Sunny, after brilliant BPL, Zim tour and Europe tour including a 5fer on debut. But these are TOURNAMENTS and big teams so you want experience. There is no substitute for experience, explains why is still anywhere near the Pakistan team

[Executioner]

dilshan gone! strikes

[w8in_4_0402]

great over by gul only 3 runs and big wicket.

fernando needs to follow up with a similar over now.

[Executioner]

Feel bad for nannes, didnt get a single match in IPL 5, didnt get a bid in BPL and not getting a chance in SLPL now

[Executioner]

Borgas playing good. Looked good last match and doing the same today. Much better than Daniel DuckWorth Smith

[Asif321]

UVA should get it ...

[Asif321]

malik is at crease

[Bullet Drive]

Malik on 1

[Bullet Drive]

Who's this buffalo like keeper?

[Bullet Drive]

Nuwan Pradeep onto bowl.

[Bullet Drive]

69-2

[mastermind_quad]

[Asif321]

daniel smith from aussie ... got 2 ducks in 2 matches

[Asif321]

SLPL lost gayle , shakib , botha, levi, morkel , samuels
they add soo much to tournament

[iZeeshan]

Beauty shot from Malik! Let's hope he's back in style.

[Asif321]

[Executioner]

guys like david miller, ingram are also missing. theyve couldve also brought in WI players like narine, russell, pollard

[Asif321]

malik and thranga played really well UVA WINS

[Asif321]

Originally Posted by Executioner guys like david miller, ingram are also missing. theyve couldve also brought in WI players like narine, russell, pollard

wonder y they were not ... may b WICB doesnt want its players to get injured

[iZeeshan]

Beauty straight drive to finish off

Malik

[Bullet Drive]

Malik looks to be in good touch. Great news for Pakistan. Hopefully he is used high in the order for Pakistan whilst batting

[chacha kashmiri]

Nicely timed innings by shebby

[Asif321]

im starting to like SLPL now ...

[Executioner]

i dont think quality wise SLPL is bad, just that the poor attendance, and lack of international stars has made the tournament look dull.

Had the payment been slightly more, more players would have been encouraged to participate = Better cricket + More fans(which means more profit)

In BPL many people came to watch some of the matches just for the sake of watching Chris Gayle.

Shakib, Gayle, Levi, morkel, this 4 top T20 players missing out has really hurt the league. And the local SL players havent been able to do much. They dont bowl much, come to bat low down the order
