***Official*** Sri Lanka In Pakistan

[Xuhaib]

Only two overs from Shoaib, wonder how long he has got left?

Top start by Sri Lanka again.

Yup he looks just about done now.

 

[chaminda_00]

Finally no Muburak. I don't care how much we lose this game by now.

What is the story behind Umar Gul having 'Gull' on the back of his shirt?

His WA team mates gave him a nick of Sea-Gull so it stuck from there.

Cool.

Poor discipline from Pakistan with the no-balls. I don’t think I haven’t seen one in the Australian South African series, 20/20’s and ODI’s.

 

[TT Boy]

Good to see Malik turn his arm over, there was a complaint that he was a bit of minnow basher bowler and underbowled himself against the bigger boys.

 

[DingDong]

OK. I've made up my mind about the SL team to play India.

Jayasuriya
Dilshan
Sangakkara
Kandamby
(Add useless batsman here)
Mathews
Maharoof
Thushara
Kula shaker
Murali
Mendis

 

[TT Boy]

Good to see Kandamby in the runs, had a good tour of South Africa with the A side last year. Good move on the part of Mahela to drop himself down the order.

Repeat from yesterday for Dilshan.

Jayawardene should be retained with the hope that class will shine through bad form, as opposed to picking dire players in dire form ala Mubarak and Tharanga.

 

[DingDong]

Hardly useless.

How does he bring himself to drop other people(Mubarak,Tharanga) when he is the worst batsman, at lest form wise, in the team? Can;t be too good for team unity.

 

[TT Boy]

Big wicket for Pakistan. Sri Lanka chucking it away again.

 

[chaminda_00]

Watch us get bowled out for under 250 here.

 

[Jono]

****'s sake SL, lift!

 

[nookie_lk]

anyone know a web link i can watch this match ???

 

[Lostman]

I think SL are saving the PP for too late.
With wickets in hand 40th over should be the best time, that way you have 10 overs for a slog.
As it is right now you try to avoid loosing wickets before the PP so the overs 40-45 are played rather conservatively.

 

[Athlai]

40-43 is alright TBH.
