***Official*** Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2015

ok, I should qualify my statement. I didn't check the scorecard, only knew of hafeez's century but had followed that he conceded around 6 rpo or something on a good bowling pitch

Come on. Don't be a Gambhir. Shoaib Malik is a decent ODI all-rounder. He's a better ODI player than some of your players who played in WC and Bangladesh series.

Its a tricky one with Malik, he and his fans will say otherwise, but he has been given so many opportunities over the years and pissed them away. Watch the last t20 cricket world cup, champions trophy in England and he was dreadful. It was a good innings on Saturday and he did well against Zimbabwe, but until he starts doing it on a more regular basis and against less rubbish bowling attacks, its to early to get excited.

However Masood is always injured, Umar is an idiot, Fawad a lost cause in 2015 limited overs cricket, he deserves to be persisted with for now.

Ya that's where I was coming from.

After all, he's more talented than ABdV.

How many of these games to Pakistan need to win to make the Champion's Trophy?

no idea, don't think its been mentioned anywhere so far. I am curious to know as well

Unless Pakistan wins 5-0, it looks to me like the West Indies will still be alive heading into their games against Pakistan in Zimbabwe's tri-series next month.

Good partnership this. Azhar Ali has been terrific with the bat as captain

There's no way in hell Pakistan are winning this 5-0.

And even then I think WI would be in with a chance.

Interesting test of Anwar Ali's batting here. I've been eyeing him up as potentially a new Jason Holder (for long shot betting purposes) for about two years -

 

[smash84]

haven't seen or known much of this rizwan guy out in the middle

 

[smash84]

haha, wow kusal P really going hard here

 

[smash84]

awesome work, 50 in just 17 deliveries

 

[Kippax]

My links to the Wellington Sri Lankan community have given me a tip to bet on Kusal Perera for the highest score. He's booming it, apparently.

Hah, they weren't wrong.

 

[smash84]

perera looking like he wants to finish this in 20 overs

 

[Jono]

jeez fair knock.

 

[smash84]

too little too late from rahat

Does Yasir Shah bowl a flatter trajectory with a hurried run-up in ODIs (compared to tests)?

oh matthews .....
