*Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2014

[smash84]

Such fielding makes my blood boil. And demoralizes the bowler so much. Aghhh

 

[Maximas]

Love how they keep showing those painters throwing the bucket and brush to each other after that drop

Junaid has definitely impressed me.. haven't seen much of him before this.

He was regressed

 

[viriya]

Ajmal on the other hand has disappointed.. thought he had/has better control than this. Reminds me of Tahir atm

 

[smash84]

I meant Junaid has regressed.

Such a god awful road is this pitch.

This is supposed to be better than SSC apparently. I don't see how

 

[viriya]

Such a god awful road is this pitch.

Whenever Junaid or Talha has pitched it right it has deviated.. I've seen much worse roads. If both teams took the chances that came their way (and reviewed better), the match could've been much different. The Pak spinners have also not bowled consistently.

 

[Maximas]

Ajmal has been pretty good, but has released pressure a little too easily and a little too often, probably deserved to have one or two wickets by now

 

[viriya]

Pretty slow going from SL.. feel like Sanga hasn't found much fluency.

 

[viriya]

Sanga's average at exactly 59.00 atm.

 

[Maximas]

About as good a session as a SL fan could have hoped for, Pakistan don't really look like they have any chance of winning the game from here, yet Sri Lanka have a shot at victory if they can score quickly over the next two sessions and then get 100-150 runs in front and see if the weather stays good and the pitch breaks up a bit on day 5, who knows? WAG Sanga is

 

[hendrix]

Babar is a much better bowler than Rehman. Him bowling with Ajmal would make a big difference IMO

 

[viriya]

Surprised Rehman has that record with no real variation tbh. I would've expected more control from him at least - maybe rusty?

 

[smash84]

yeah, Pakistan are very rusty for sure.

It is a testament to the pancake nature of this pitch that despite not having played for 7 months, the Pak batting managed to score 450

 

[viriya]

Top edges should not go for six. It's just not right.

 

[Maximas]

yeah, Pakistan are very rusty for sure.

More of a testament to Younis Khan, again, if both teams take their chances this pitch isn't too bad

 

[smash84]

Sanga should make a 300 here. Should really punish Pakistan for dropping him on the first ball today.

Actually with the way SL are batting they might be able to declare by day end today. Could be in with a sniff

 

[hendrix]

Shehzad looks handy

 

[smash84]

yeah, but Shahzad's main responsibility is to open the innings properly, not bowling (nor dancing in TV commercials)

 

[smash84]

Sangakkara dropped AGAIN on 169
