***Official*** Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2015

[OverratedSanity]

Sarfraz is pretty awesome huh?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

crucial attacking knock under pressure by sarfraz

balance is shifting slowly

 

[OverratedSanity]

Was about to say Pakistan have the advantage, and that happens.

Top knock, though.

 

[harsh.ag]

What glorious times of wicketkeeper-batsmen we live in

 

[Maximas]

moral of the story is that neither should be given another chance.

Ajantha Mendis on the other hand...

i really don't see the point of vithanage as a test batsman..

Lacks the necessary talent, is clearly not suited to the format and has a **** attitude to boot, farcical selection. Good effort from the quickies so far

 

[Athlai]

Golden age of wicket keeper bats continues. Even Pakistan have a good one,

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm always pleased when Shafiq does well. Big fan.

 

[harsh.ag]

Haha Babar playing such a gun innings! What a fifty. If Pakistan can get to 450, then can really win this

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Shafiq wag

 

[YorksLanka]

great fightback from Safraz, he is quality and as other have said, if Pakistan get to 450, this will put the pressure back on us to stay in this game..

 

[Maximas]

It can be like the reverse of last year's Galle test...

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

how quickly the scenario changes

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

silva surviving by an inch

good catch though

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Junaid's first innings avg. pace was 132 ish. Its going lower

Lucky that Rahat is injured and Amir is banned, as once those 2 are back, Junaid goes to back of the line and rightfully so,not good enough for a long time now.

personally i'm frustrated about this because i rated him big. he had the chops

So many injuries over the years has curtailed him sadly. I'd be tempted to bring Imran Khan in next test, obviously not as good as Junaid when in beast mode, but 2015 Junaid? Yeah Imran is a safer option.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah was going to ask what's happened to Junaid? He was such a beast a couple of years ago. Looks horrendous now.

last time i checked this pakistan were dead and buried. good to see my pick from waayyyyy back asad shafiq delivered on more than a technically pretty 40.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]
