Well it came tails today.

 

[McLOVIN]

WOAH! WOAH!!i just checked the score! WOW! SL won it in 3 days! WOW!! WOW!

and what heck?? the other batsman did no justice Alam and Y. Khan!

SL just chased the target like ODIs!! as if it was the last of the match

 

[Max Peters]

Sri Lanka were too good in the end.

:laugh Shravi

I have a sheepish smile on my face. A smile of resignation

This team can never do things right, can they? Fawad Alam scores 166, and the rest fall over like dominos. Although Daryl Harper didn't help things, but still.

Kulasekara once again picked up 4 wickets,SL had to chase just target of 171 and they chased it by getting 5.37 runs per over,great....They noe lead the series by 2-0...SL is really a good side in tests,it is really difficult to beat them specially at home...

 

[Raj_Aryan]

Yes,SL is a good ide at home,Pak need to put up a good decent show in last test,they have talent but unfortunately for them nothing is working out batting,bowling....

 

[Hooper]

I've always had a soft spot for those little Sri Lankans... Like seeing them win. Well done.

This was really a strange match. Pakistan looked again on top after the first two partnerships, but then they went out quickly.

Congratulations to Sri Lanka of winning their first ever home Test series against Pakistan.

Strange thing is that in all these previous years Sri Lanka had actually a stronger side then this one. It just shows in what kind of state Pakistan is.

SL did it without Murali too. Good win and well deserved after rolling Pakistan for 90. Their batting is looking really shakey lately, could get really ugly when Pakistan tour us (well I think they do).

Yup they are coming this summer and are going to be absolutely murdered if they do not improve their batting!

Good win for Srilanka. A nice way to get their revenge for their T20 world cup loss.

A win in a test series is far better > T20 WC

A win in a test series is far better > T20 WC

Agreed! Any Test > any limited overs cricket.

That was major collapse. How can they loose 9 wickets in just 45 runs? Pakistan required to give training of batting to tailenders as if their middle and top order collapse, tailenders can pick some runs and make them to top again.Many times, many teams have saved their matches by tailenders. They have even won those matches where tailenders have score some runs. Tailenders play an important role and they have save their teams many times to make such a low total but Pakistan tailenders is always unable to do this so they need to give proper practise to tailenders..
