Sri Lanka Tour of the UAE and Pakistan - September/October 2017

[Master Khan]

To be honest I won't bother watching this..I Will just keep checking Cricinfo for the score.

Free admission? Really? How come this match has Free admission? Sri Lanka is boring as hell, where is PCB making money from?

Most likely the money will come from the ODI's and T20's. I mean the game is so boring. I just check the score at stumps.

 

[Ahmad94]

I feel that someone has got into Sarfaraz's ear about playing a safe series after the departure of Younis and Misbah. The game is being played with too much of a defensive mindset.

 

[Perfect Square]

That's the difference. On one hand you have Shafiq who doesn't play a shot despite his position in Playing XI is permanent. Then you have this young lad Haris who straight away starts to play his natural game and shots. Looking positive dspite he is on his debut.

 

[Master Khan]

Well Pakistan got 1 day to get 6 wickets and then chase down a score, if only Pakistan played a bit faster then they would have won this easily.
This match is just really slow.

 

[Rehan_24]

Well played Haris Sohail, Coming back after almost two years gap and making 76 on your debut. This showed how much talent and willingness the guy has. Pakistan has an edge if we wrap Lankans on 125 today maximum and at a quick pace.

Yeah I am praying that they get quick wickets and this time bat faster and not defending 90% of deliveries.

Yasir's Master-class on the 4th & 5th day as expected Pakistan with a real and easy chance to win now

Yupe. It's not going to be a draw now. Either Pakistan or Sri Lanka will win...

Won't be easy with especially Herath . It depends how Pakistan batters play him must attack him and just don't let him settle.

 

[Perfect Square]

If Pakistan plays too slow Rangana Herath will eat them... I was expecting Sarfraz Ahmed and Hasan Ali to open the innings...
For god sake don't play with cowardly approach. Otherwise this can happen Cricket scorecard - Windies vs Pakistan, 2nd Test, Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2017 | Cricbuzz.com

Is it just me or anybody else thinks that Amir should be dropped from the team?

Just you.

 

[CerealKiller]

This is done and dusted. Should've expected it tbh.

 

[Rehan_24]

Some one tell Mickey Arthur that you can improve the skills and all other stuff but you can't really change one's nature This is the way Pakistan has played since it started cricket. One would think an easy win and then you see batting collapsing like anything. Mind you, It isn't because of Misbah Younis not there.. The situation would have been the same even if the two would be in this team.. All hopes with Sarfraz and Haris Sohail now

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Skipper Sarfaraz is the best bet now for Pakistan his uncanny way of getting runs might just be the best way to tackle the likes of Herath ,Dilruwan and Sandankan. Even Aamir's role is now crucial with the bat considering he is more than handy batsman to have in the squad.
