***Official*** Sri Lanka In Pakistan

[gunner]

Haha yeah that's the point. It'd be comical. You know Afridi will show him no respect.

I'd enjoy watching it, whatever happened. Whether he managed to latch on and put Mendis over the boundary, and the next ball be trapped in front.

forget about afridi
im waitin for misbah vs mendis
so far only misbah has tamed mendis when he battered him in the asia cup

Faisal Iqbal is useless, Bazid cant buy a run in domestic cricket these days while Asim Kamal time is gone and he is also not a heavy score domestically.

Peolple want this guy http://content-pak.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/player/42671.html

He has been toring up domestically for years looks to hae a good technique but somehow selectors just go on ignoring him.

Interesting that. That Nasir bloke does seem to have the domestic credentials. But like NZ with Bond, very sad to see PAK losing MoYo..

 

[HMas]

Go Pakistan for 3-0 white wash

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Where's Nasir Jamshed these days?

Where's Nasir Jamshed these days?

Smashing quick fire 50's in the quaid trophy.

 

[Harry Harrison]

Jono,

is that a joke man?

it would be a grand contest of 3 balls if they come across each other every game.

Afridi has always been good against the spinners if you know a little bit about him.

 

[Harry Harrison]

So whats the position with batsman like Faisal Iqbal, Bazid Khan, Asim Kamal if the selectors have entrusted this youngster ahead of them now the MoYo is no more.

If it is upto me, i would select Asim Kamal after Younis Khan. These two are the best test batsmen in the absence of Yousaf.

 

[Evermind]

But like NZ with Bond, very sad to see PAK losing MoYo..

Yeah, those are two huge losses. The best players in their respective teams. MoYo has been in monstrous form!

What I don't understand is...why don't these players sign up for IPL instead? What's the difference?

 

[pskov]

Just wanted to say that it will be great to see Pakistan play some test cricket again.

Bond was betrayed by NZ cricket board & Moyo wa sued by ICL so he cudnt join IPL.

 

[Xuhaib]

So SL has arrived.

I really hope Sohail Khan can get a game instead of Rao 'the trundler' Iftikhar

i can't believe that this tour was cut short by BCCI.. i am tired of ****ing politics of BCCI.. i mean 3 test matches, 5 ODIs and a twenty match.. was perfect for a tour..

it just make stop watch cricket..

 

[Precambrian]

I'll root for Sri Lanka to win the test series. Pakistan has been a **** test team in the last few years. However I think they'll win the ODI series quite easily, considering how **** Sri Lankan team has been.

Just be happy you guys have a home series after so long.

We were poor in our last two test series and apart from a dissapointing tour to Eng where we lacked fit bowers our performance has been more then decent.

 

[chaminda_00]

Only one change to squad from Bangladesh. Dlishan in, will be interesting to see if they try him as opener again. Reckon he might have some success on the sub continent. Wouldn't mind Matthews having a shot, he got the technique of a top order batsmen. Really over Tharanga, I hoped he turned a corner in South Africa, but it doesn't look like it.

How does that change anything I said?

 

[Xuhaib]

You said last few years when it was merely couple of poor performances for a span of 3-4 months.

Since the summer of 2006, Pakistan has never won a test series except against Windies in 06.

They lost in England
Won against WI at home
Lost In South Africa
Lost in Pakistan Vs SA
Lost in India.

Need anymore proof for their test team struggling?

Performance against SA wasn't **** despite the loss in English series we lacked our first choice pace attack, and you forgot to mention the excellent run before the England series.
