**Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

[smash84]

Of course this isn't going to last very long though. Some ridiculous controversy or the other like Gul actually being a woman and the Akmal brothers selling their kidneys online will pop up and we'll be back to square one.

Really like the new direction Pakistan cricket is taking. No flashy ****s, just guys who're willing to keep their head down, play within their limits and hopefully provide some form of consistency.

They are boring

Old Pakistan was box office. Fixed games, failed drug tests, roid rage assaults, collapses every other inning, captains resigning, captains getting sacked, players retiring/unretiring every 2 tests, missing keepers etc. Admit it you want the old Pakistan back

Mr.Collapse is our friend no more.

Our friend is 1-0 Test Series win now.We'll meet the friend again vs England.

I like the 3-0 friend much better.

You forgot to mention the most important thing - producing some of the most talented guys consistently.

Still do that

Misbah seems to cop a bit of flak for being defensive yet they never play at home anymore and they haven't lost a test series since that England debacle last year, where he took charge of the side.

I know any NZ fan would take those results any day of the week.

This. The current set of blokes are never going to sell enough newspapers at this rate.

Pakistan had better not screw this up now. I've already written half a feature on how crap Sri Lanka have been.

Hope Sri Lanka win from here, just to screw this up for you.

On a different note, it rained in a ****ing desert just because Sri Lanka played a test match there.

Haha, how are they doing it?

Really like the new direction Pakistan cricket is taking. No flashy ****s, just guys who're willing to keep their head down, play within their limits and hopefully provide some form of consistency. The bowlers have been doing a fine job while Azhar Ali and Misbah give me a perpetual boner. Younis is as good as always and I hope Asad starts doing well soon. Fans have been asking for consistency and some stability for ages, I think they've finally found some.

awta

Looking forward to Pakistan screwing you over.

Sorry, what?

It rained?

Seriously?

 

[Daemon]

Rain in the UAE? All the Sheikh's are probably paying for cloud seeding or some **** because their money was on Pakistan

 

[Agent Nationaux]

It's pretty close between a Sri Lanka win and a Draw. Pakistan are 73/3 and need another 182 from 7 wickets.

 

[Howe_zat]

No it isn't. It was looking iffy when Azhar got out, but it'd take an absurd collapse for Pakistan to lose from here.

You know what you just said right?

 

[Howe_zat]

This is the new and improved, less interesting Pakistan.

With only 17 overs remaining today,how is that even remotely close?

 

[Himannv]

Such dire umpiring. If ICC ever require proof of why UDRS should be used for every single match from now on, they dont need to look any further than this series.

 

[salman85]

You don't expect Taufel to get these wrong TBH.
