He has been like that for a while now, for a senior member of the team it just isn't good enough. I'm glad he was looked over for the captaincy although it's pathetic how he was even a candidate in the first place, given his poor attitude and work ethic.

I know I'm extremely late on this but that Perera looks to be a blatant chucker. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets a call from the match referee after today's match.

Never seen Asif bowl this poorly (too much leg-sided stuff) maybe the heat is getting to the players.

Impressive series victory for Pakistan even though it was slighty under-strenght SRI side. Just goes to show how unpredicatable Pakistan are.

Good stuff by Afridi and he should be Pakistan's number one spinner (in ODI) for he doesn't go for many and his got enough variety/skill to adjust his bowling accordingly. Kaneria is a one trick pony in ODI cricket whilst Amjad and the rest of the kids are still far too green.

Disappointing showing by Sri Lanka but it just illustrates why Pakistan were always favourites for this series once Sri Lanka's A game cricketers opted out and how Ruchira Perera still plays international cricket is ludicrous not because he chucks it but his useless.

Surprised, surprise...

R Perera 0/71(10)
C Kapugedera b Mohammad Sami 20(16)
P Jayawardene lbw b Shahid Afridi 1(3)

Hope thats the last time we see Kapu opening the batted until after the next World Cup, if not ever. Hope thats the last time we see R Perera's and P Jayawardene's names on the Sri Lankan team sheet.

Regarding of the team i would say this is the best possible team that pakistan can have in oneday side. i perfere imran nazir over farhat, hafeez, taufeeq umar and yasir hameed over younis khan for one day team any time and any day. when shoaib is fit and ready to play he should be replaced with sami.
as far as today's selection goes one question remained here. why didn't abdul razzaq bowle? if they were to not make him bowle, they should have played with a spacialist batsman.

Good win for Pakistan, I'm starting to warm to them as a team now that they have some young guns like Butt and Hameed.

Struggles against quality bowling though still better then Farhat and Hafeez which really isn't a compliment.

Farhat was average, but Hafeez was dire.

Hameed hasn't really had a fair chance though, hopefully now we'll see him get a decent run in the ODI side, possibly even in the Test team.
