*Official* Sri Lanka in Pakistan 2019 (Tests)

[vcs]

Seems the weather forecast is better for this one but the pitch is supposed to be a road. Buckle yourselves up for a 650 plays 650 match, then.

 

[NUFAN]

Its funny that you say road, I think it looks aite. I can see why both teams brought in a spinner (well tbh, they should have had the spinner last game too).

Azhar Ali's days are numbered. Expect Babar to take over Test captaincy after this series.

 

[honestbharani]

But that captaincy seems to be bit of a poisoned chalice at this point.

 

[TT Boy]

If you haven't, you need to seek out highlights on YouTube of those two wickets from Fernando. Two of the very best you will see this year.

Their options are limited TBF. Who else is there? Shafiq - **** no. I suppose Yasir Shah could give it a go but he doesn't come across as a bowler who puts in a great deal of thought into his cricket. Or they could go down the Paine route and give it to Rizwan.

I think Babar can handle it, he's starting to step it up in Tests and this could be just the right motivation to take it to the next level. Kohli and Root also got it at around the same age as he is right now.

Wtf was Azhar doing? Shan shows glimpses but he's not up to opening at all. Weird and dumbass shot from Azhar

Lol, so you agree it can go either way.

But yes, they don't have many options and it might help to have one captain across formats again. But they have to find a good deputy for him and get him some breaks now and then.

 

[trundler]

Not really sure where Fernando pulled those 2 from.

 

[NUFAN]

I havent seen abid this good since Sydney 2000

Well, yes, any decision could go either way. But he seems the safest bet at this point.

 

[vcs]

Sri Lanka in a fairly decent position. Pakistan should have probably gone with Fawad Alam over Haris Sohail.

 

[NUFAN]

Vcs, not quite a 650 pitch or did you mean across both innings?

 

[vcs]

Pakistan batting doing its usual thing.

 

[Daemon]

Wicket highlights are pretty juicy. Some sick bowling from the quicks.

 

[Starfighter]

Wait - what the hell happened here?

 

[mr_mister]

SL are boss

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well that's some collapse.

 

[Daemon]

Bop

 

[Starfighter]

The roller coaster of emotions that PakPassion is during matches like this is always worth looking at.
