Asians win...good performance by fernando!
Indeed and with Zaheer picking up a slight injury and Mohammed Asif getting smashed whilst only getting the mandatory wicket of AB, Fernando had to perform.

However, decent knocks from Boucher and Boeta, considering both batsman do not like it slow and low but also good to see Morne Morkel smack a few runs at the death. Batting at eleven really isn't an accurate reflection of his ability with the bat for as his shown in test cricket his more than decent.

Asif not being the same economical bowler he once was when he first started...:( He has been quite expensive in the last few matches he has played.:'(

yeh...i was quite suprised when i looked at the stats TBH...it could be just a one off performace by Asif....we all know how good he really his. There are so many factors that could have led to his poor performance...lack of passion could be one. If thats the case...look on the bright side...at least he has passion for pakistan...which is when it really matters.

TBF to Asif the weather and humidity was very intense but he does have a real problem with the old ball. Getting some tap on a road early on can be expected but Pakistan need to box clever with him. I wouldn’t’carp them if they use Asif merely as a ten over straight merchant.

lol at Jayawardene bowling.... shows how serious the players take this ... hahaha
Jayawardene does bowl Medium pacers in Domestic One dayers(First Class) and up until the 1999 World Cup (including the 99 World Cup) he used to be called in to bowl 3 or 4 overs first change or second change not infrequently.

In fact I personally saw him bowl 4-5 overs in the 1999 World Cup game against Zimbabwe.

Great Bowling by Dilhara Fernando - 4/36 in a game where every other bowler got carted with economy rates of 7 and 8 per over and Team scores of 300 plus , the guy has an unbelievably economical and match winning figures. Well played Dilhara !!
