[vorgaphe]

Well, it's nice to see that his brother is passing on his skills.

SL are just not able to touch the ball atleast stats show that just 114 runs in 2 sessions

Saw a full ajmal spell first time in this series,He is bowling really well i hope he'll be our KEY in matches against Eng on these pitches

MeanWhile ajmal is the highest wicket taker of this year having played 6 matches got 37 wkts 2nd is ishant who played 8


a question guys,I followed this series most by cricinfo.Had misbah been taking attackin fields through out the series or i was lucky to see that today?

Maybe.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Misbah's field placing have been abysmal to say the least. He has put fielders back on long on and off even for number 10 and 11 if they start being aggressive.

----------

It has been agonizing to see our bowling against the tail this series. Every tailender has got stuck in this series against us.

 

[Paki007]

Maybe gul should have a go now i think he can rap up the remainings

 

[sami ullah khan]

All out for 413 but really lame bowling and planning against the tail again by Pakistan.

----------

If Akmal could take those two chances Sri Lanka would not have gone past 300. This is why we need a safe glove man behind the stumps. Enough of Akmals.

Akmal is best wicketkeeper these days for Pakistan. Even other wicket-keepers miss catches. But he is not player for ODIs. He is good wicket-keeper in ODIs but he is not good batsman in that format, which is a problem. That's why after his first few matches in ODI. He is been dropped from ODI squad. Sarfaraz Ahmad is been recalled in the squad. Sarfraz is good batsman as well as a wicket-keeper. But he is not good enough for tests. Adnan Akmal is better wicket-keeper than Kamran Akmal , Zulqarnain Haider, Mohammad Salman and Sarfraz Ahmad. We get extra point for Sarfraz Ahmad as he can bat good as well. Hope you don't mind, I just put my explanation.

----------

Awesome squad selected for ODI series. Really happy to see Abdul Razzaq back. Don't know why Shahid Afridi is selected ? He had not played any Fifty-over match. Just playing T20 shouldn't make any selection. And Ilyaas Ahmad (Pakistan Selector) is too clever, he has selected his son-in-law Imran Farhat, without any other Opener except Mohammad Hafeez, which forces that both will must play because there is no third opener. Asad Shafiq can open but they should not take any risk.

younis is still alive


Good counter attack by Younis provided pakistan to breath easily.Azhar Ali as usual showing nervy but occupying approach now i am used to his batting style.Younis khan yesterday said they are playing for a result i didn't feel that and also i dont want that this match is surely gonna be draw unless Sri Lanka get out within 3 sessions in their 2nd innings

 

[afridi118]

azhar ali gone lets see what happens now.

 

[Paki007]

oh now misbah going like younis started his innings

 

[swacker]

Sangakkara, what a gun.

 

[Paki007]

errrr although SL got late wkts but still it's gonna be draw

 

[aayush93]

errrr although SL got late wkts but still it's gonna be draw

if srilanka can get 60-70 first innings lead then Pakistan will find themselves in big trouble on 5th day.

Balls have started to turn from Middle of Pitch and it will turn more on 5th day.

----------------------------------

Younis played a perfect test innings..

 

[Paki007]

it'll be difficult but i think we have got the batsmen who can occupy the crease for long long time without trying to score a run

 

[jacobfelix]

So, Pak bowled out for 340. Now when you look at it - SL were 331/7 & then went on to add another 82 runs for the next 2 wkts....this certainly will haunt Pakistan. I wonder whether it will become a crucial factor. Those 73 runs surely will help SL.
