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

[harsh.ag]

This partnership looks quite good. And Misbah is due a big innings. Pakistan very much in it! Should be a great last day and end to the series.

I remember Shan Masood being conspicuously rubbish against spin for an asian batsman. How much of Kaushal has he faced?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shaping up to be an awesome final day. Younis is such a beast in the fourth innings.

 

[Kippax]

Pallekele becoming really nice for batting now, like I thought it might.

There's going to be enough turn for Kaushal to clean up the tail if he doesn't get tight under pressure, but I'm putting Pallekele in the 'grassy then road' category. A lot like the Basin Reserve in recent times.

23 runs off 21 (often rubbish) deliveries.

interesting. I watched one over where it looked like he was making a concerted effort to use his feet.

Really comes across as a diligent chap, Shan.

 

[hendrix]

that was a monstrous pull from Younis. Love him.

 

[harsh.ag]

There was no bat on that! What the hell

 

[hendrix]

yeah interesting call. Really needed snicko and/or hotspot. I don't think he hit it though and he was plumb.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

this is going to be one heck of a chase

 

[OverratedSanity]

They're coasting.

 

[Kippax]

Sri Lanka slide from a $1.10 favourite to a $2.10 bet in three hours.

This is where Mathews will go defensive and hand the opposition the game on a plate.

nah unless there's rain there's no way he's drawing this test so I can't see him going defensive.

They still need to score more than 200 runs. One wicket and SL are in.

Sure, but Mathews is one of the dumbest captains ever. Who knows what he'll be thinking?

He's much better now that I taught him how to deadlift.

herath should have played this

Want to again state how much Russell Arnold has improved as a commentator. Genuinely enjoy his comments now. Or maybe that's just in comparison with Dean Jones.

I think it's mainly this.

I've never actually thought he that bad though tbh. He uses twenty words where five will do sometimes and his comments about team selection are always dire but his general analysis isn't completely **** (at least it exists).
