Pakistan vs Sri Lanka in UAE Oct-Nov 2011/12

[Rohit Doshi]

Dilshan is just not a captain material. They dont have any captain material in the team apart from Sanga and Mahela. But both have shown their back. Actually this is a rebuilding phase for them but they still have 5 players who they rely. Sanga, Mahela,Dilsha,Matthews and Malinga for ODI's.

I feel mentality is the problem for them.

 

[Paki007]

i think the thing which is adding to the debacle of SL is we are in our very good form since world cup.I think We can build on this team to reach the top spot.

 

[Anjula]

Also Dilshan is very very unlucky,
If he is going to win a test match, it rains
and he got all the key bowlers injured,
and in the test match against England,
he made 194 or so and broke his finger and then got out

 

[Paki007]

The best thing that SL can do in the next match that they should try to spend as much time as they could at the pitch and just try to rotate the strike.no matter if they play slow initially but it will help them to gain form and slog in later in the match.With this they can atleast reach 250.If they dont then i doubt they'll reach even 200 with this kind of form

 

[aussie1st]

SL really have fallen since the WC. They still have the core of their batsmen from the WC final to be avoiding scores like this.

 

[Paki007]

they should have included samaraweera.he often scores against us

 

[sami ullah khan]

^Well don't give them ideas I was gutted at Farhat scoring a meaningless fifty. This confirms his spot for at least next series.
I hope Junaid gets his chance. Cheema did well but we got to look at the future and that is Junaid Khan. He should get as much experience as possible before the big series against England.

 

[Paki007]

lol i was just saying that because i want to see some fight from them to test our team


i had also said when cheema was selected in 1st match that we should bring Junaid in

 

[sami ullah khan]

Pakistan have been very unlucky with the new ball. Most of the fours have been edges and that Crap Farhat has dropped a sitter off Cheema.

 

[golden7849]

I think this time it will a fighting match between pak and sr

 

[Paki007]

^ enno andhi goli wjni ae

Well our spinner again doing a very good job.Keep the batsmen on their toes and not allowing them to free their arms.I think we have the best spin attack in the world atm(idk whether you guys agree or not)

 

[Sedition]

Ajmal, Afridi and Hafeez.. can't think of another spin attack that comes close right now.

----------

Was it Umar Akmal trying to break Sarfraz Ahmed's nose earlier? tweaking Akmals..

 

[BKB1991]

We are really tying up the Lankans here. Lankans have been disappointing this series, but its good to see Pakistan actually capitalising on their poor performances.

Jayawardene is still there though.

 

[Paki007]

WTF 7 overs for Gul


I will Killl misbah for that

Why aizaz cheeema in the death overs? he has gone for 56 in 8 and Even ajmal's last over allowed SL to reach a fighting total 17 of it.It was just senseless to go with Cheema instead of Gul


Even Razzaq who was bowling excellent line today wasn't brought back.we could have restricted to 220

 

[BKB1991]

Razzaq should never bowl in the death overs. Remember NZ game in the WC?

The only logical explanation was that Cheema was given a shot to see how he bowls at depth. Dont think he is going to play the next game hence they probably gave him another chance to impress.

----------

Game seemingly over.
