Hmmm,I think pakistan should have attacked the fast bowler and got to atleast 45-50 in 10 over. They have never faced mendis and the murali-mendis combination can turn out to be really tough for them.
Ahem.Cricinfo said:36.1 Kulasekara to Salman Butt, no run, raps Butt on the pads, a stifled appeal for lbw, but that pitched outside leg
Hard to say really. He didn't get much movement off the pitch at all and gave them a lot to work with. He was outside off-stump quite a lot too, and Manzoor in particular picked him off to third man very well. But he had a lot to do when he came on to bowl. All in all he bowled pretty badly, Pakistan handled him pretty well but it wouldn't be fair to blame the defeat on him.Didn't watch much of the game, but looks like Sri Lanka has been pretty poor in all departments of the game, the batting seems to be too dependent on a few individuals, and the same goes with the bowling, but Pakistan to their credit have been very clinical in this game so far, and they have handled the threat of Mendis very well too, so was Mendis bowling badly or did the Pakistanis just played him well.
EDIT: Listening to commentary for a few minutes now, and it has been shocking to say the least.
