Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka - 2022

[Migara]

Tour match is taking place at Colts ground, a wicket known for it's pace and bounce.

 

[Migara]

Pakistan's struggling against spin here. The wickets are going to have bit more pace than for Aussies. Going to be an interesting tour. If not bowled properly, some of the SL spinners' careers could end with this tour.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

No 3 vs no 4 in the WTC at the moment.

 

[Aritro]

Play three match series ffs

 

[Apex Predator]

Left arm spin vs Babar & Rizwan will be key. Azhar ali with zero reflexes shouldn't bother much.
Pakistan will be hoping some life in the pitch for Shaheen. Hassan Ali will likely start ahead of Naseem which lankans should not mind.

 

[trundler]

Not having proper spinners will bite Pakistan in the ass. Going back to Yasir Shah is desperate and there's been no indicator he's out of his slump.

 

[Migara]

Nauman Ali is good I heard.

 

[Migara]

Pakistanis 323 all out. SLC XI - 278 / 5

Babar Azam 88, Agha Salman 55, Manasinghe 4/85, Madusanka 2/59, Embuldeniya 2/83
Samarawickrama 91, N Fernando 78, Nawaz 2/24

Pretty good batting by the youngsters on a quickish pitch against Pakistani pace bowlers.

 

[Aritro]

Nauman Ali is good I heard.

I think he bowls a teasing length and has good control but Pakistan fans think he's ****. Which he probably is relative to the usual standard of Pakistani spinner.

 

[honestbharani]

So only one of the uncles plays?

 

[Aritro]

Chandimal averages a touch under 53 as a keeper, and 35 as a specialist batsman. I'm assuming he comes in down the order as a keeper but still bizzare.

Asia B teams playing each other. It will not impact WTC at all.

both are ranked higher than India in the WTC table lol

So?

India have played more tests and have win in australia and england. Pakistan lose at home easily.

 

[cnerd123]

So?

So you're wrong. This series can have a big impact on the WTC final.

 

[Xuhaib]

Never in my life have I seen our spin stocks in such a poor state . Yasir is past his sell date by good couple of years I think Pakistan best bet is stop giving Shadab any Nocs to play in pyjama leagues unless he commits to test cricket.
Not one decent spinner at the moment in domestics as well.

 

[Xuhaib]

Nauman Ali is good I heard.

Uncle Numan was probably at his peak in 2003.

I said no impact on WTC...finalists are Aus and SA. Pak and SL are too weak, only hope for Asia is India!

Come on man... dont be like that. We need more uncles in international cricket.
