**Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

[Xuhaib]

my sister lives opposite to the stadium I am going to Sharjah on Saturday might pop in to the test match at some point.

Misbah: "We are not thinking too much about the rankings and just looking to play positive cricket." Pakistan are unchanged, and going in with two fast bowlers and two spinners

btw if Pakistan win the series 1-0 where do they end up in the rankings? And if they win 2-0? Then? If the series is tied 1-1 then?

can anybody shed some light on this?

Junaid new ball skills are quite average

Pakistan need to win 2-0 to overtake Sri Lanka in the rankings. Any other result and it stays as SL 5, Pakistan 6.

The way this match is going it doesn't seem like it will be 2-0

I hope this is a parody of the kind of dire post I've been raging about.

[Xuhaib]

pitch flat both Dilshan and Mahela due expect 5 sessions of leather chasing for Pakistan.

 

[Howe_zat]

what?

The game is not over an hour in, especially not when it's 40/1 or something ffs.

 

[Spark]

christ the umpiring in this series has been beyond poor.

It's been 4 hours and its 122/1. What are you talking about?

 

[Howe_zat]

Alright, now I can give you official permission to complain.

 

[IrishOpener]

So Dilshan gloved one through but not given out?, ...

The umpiring in this series has been soooooo bad it is not even funny

Pakistan is going OK at the moment on a dead pitch but need to get Sanga and Jaya to be in a dominant position.

 

[Howe_zat]

Mate, it's 190/2. True that the wickets of these two would be key, but they'd just get Pakistan back in it.

Isn't that what I just said? Pakistan will be on top if they get those two now. It is a dead pitch you know, where the scores will be pretty big.

If Pakistan got these two for no runs in the next two balls then yeah they would be. But you'd be more likely to get those 2 wickets over 10 overs. Which it would leave the match even stevens at best and Pakistan wouldn't be on top.
