Certainly a record !! I would have thought a certain Pak fan (U know who - Stay kool :laugh: ) who spends a lot of time on another thread rubbing it in, on Indian fans would have started this thread ! :D

Definitely a great start by Pakistan and Shoaib.

Lankans already struggling, and without Murali , I suspect they are bound to struggle further, unless Vaas, along with Malinga and Dilhara Fernando can do something when they get a chance with the ball. Anyway too early to talk about that, but then again may be not , if Shoaib gets going after Lunch. :)

Batsmen take the light with Samaraweea on 97... Anyone else think that is an interesting decision?

Great Bowling by Sami and Akhtar, I hope they can continue it tomorrow. Has anyone seen Razzaq bowl lately, I hear he has been bowling really well much like he used to bowl in 1999-2000.

Anyways I hope Sri Lanka does well :)

I've got a feeling 250-290 would be a good score here for a first innings and going by Pak's recent chasing fiascos suffice to say I will be watching with some trepidation. I cant believe teh damn fielding blunders though even after BW having improved them somewhat.. but what to do as a Pak fan besides..Go Pak ;)

Agree it may be a decision that they may regret, as the New Ball will become available at the start of the second day and those three runs may become elusive. :blink:

I suspect the SL innings will close once the new ball is taken. (probably under 250)

Yup for you any team should do well whichever is playing against them ...

First day goes to Pakistan and there is nothing much in the pitch but I thought Kaneria dude should have done well .. Anil dilput(Test cricketer Pakistan ) has really coached his nephew very well i.e. Kaneria ...

I remember reading that Anil Dalpat and Kaneria don't get along....
EDIT: found it:http://hindustantimes.com/htcricket/6939_671808,001600530000.htm

Kaneria has another, better known cousin, his mother's brother's son. Anil Dalpat, another Hindu who played for Pakistan. Dalpat though, has nothing to do with Kaneria's interest in the game.

Kaneria doesn't want to go into what caused the friction but the animosity is clear and the reference to his famous cousin is the only time in the conversation when the bubbly leg-spinner's brow gets furrowed.
