***Official*** Pakistan v Sri Lanka in UAE 2013/14

[Agent Nationaux]

what has misbah's average got do with ****ing Younis's wife?

Nothing. It was a mistake.

 

[Migara]

Nothing. It was a mistake.

You mean "****ing"?

 

[hendrix]

Why does the rest of Pakistan's batting lineup even turn up? Just let Misbah and Younus do it all

 

[Watson33]

Hafeez is cooked at test level. Absolutely cooked. Dale Steyn knocked all the confidence he had straight out of him. Pakistan's batting is dreadful

 

[hendrix]

Hafeez should be used in the same way Jadeja or Robbie Petersen are IMO.

 

[smash84]

awta....he doesn't deserve to bat anywhere above 7

 

[salman85]

It's a pity Younis has never transformed his test ability on the ODI arena.Such a top player to have under pressure.

 

[smash84]

thanks for the jinx

 

[Maximas]

Gee, Sri Lanka having a hard time bowling these ****s out

 

[Jassy]

Pitch is totally dead and rain is forecast for tomorrow as well. If these two somehow bat out the rest of today Pak could well get out of jail here.

 

[hendrix]

poor Misbah

 

[Jono]

Feel bad for Misbah but looks like the rest of Misbahstan have become inspired by the great man. Looking very comfortable right now. They can save this.

rain comes to the rescue today......SL should have won this match

Our tail batted really well. I don't think they would have won by the end of the day if it hadn't rained.

 

[Maximas]

Pitch absolutely dead now, both teams did well yesterday IMO, although I found Matthews' tactics at the end a little annoying, Pakistan need the draw, because any total they post should be easily chased on this deck

With the early wicket of Sarfraz it is hard to see the game ending in a draw now. I haven't watched every ball or anything, but I think Lakmal has bowled quite well. I didn't agree with whoever said last match that Lakmal was as rubbish as his record suggested when he was averaging 70 with the ball. I think he can get his bowling average to low 40s.

 

[hendrix]

Lakmal has improved immensely.

Might have been me, what I meant was that to date he deserved to average 70, but going by last match and especially this match he appears to have turned a corner and is no longer that same bowler. His average is now under 60

 

[Maximas]

btw, I wasn't watching last night - did anyone see Sanga's over? Sounded rubbish on cricinfo

 

[hendrix]

Really enjoying how SL just didn't roll over in the first test and now Pakistan doing the same. SL should still win this but it's nice to see some guts from a couple of teams that haven't always shown it in recent times.

With that said, there's always Pakistan's first innings...so I guess I could go the other way.
