Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka - 2022

[thakzz]

Babar is in some unreal form now. Proper 2016 Virat vibes.

And why the **** are 4th innings chases becoming so easy these days?

WHAT???

Kohli is greater after Tendulkar! Babar is not close.

I think Babar is great batsman but lets not make silly comparisons.

Anyway SL will pick up easy win, 7 wickets in 50 runs.

Did anyone see that bird fly across the pitch just as Babar left that ball and got bowled?
Replay shows it clearly, but it may or may not of had an affect on the outcome.

New team strategy: train a bunch of pigeons to fly across the sightscreen just as the ball is bowled.

It was really just behind the umpire, just before delivery, so would have been split timing to pull out of the shot.
Replay shows it nicely, lol it had to take something special to get him out, a perfectly trained bird!

WHAT??

Babar is miles better than Kohli, one of them can bat, one of them cannot, game over.

Our ridiculous strategy of playing 3 front line pacers and dropping a batsman will come to bite us tommorow in the arse.

If they needed an extra seamer so badly should have gone for Faheem atleast he can put some runs on the board.

Hope I don't jinx him but Abdullah surely is among the brightest U 25 batting talents in the world also a look at his technique makes me feel he will do well in SENA

 

[ashley bach]

Ajaz!!
See he got man of the match, must of been his best ever performance in tests.

Difference is we should have coasted this chase here it's a matter of one ball not one reliable batsman after these two, Babar wicket has hugely tilted the game in SL favor

 

[Xuhaib]

I would have taken this score at stumps had Abdullah been the one to get out not Babar would have even put Pakistan favourites now its Lanka game to lose.

 

[smash84]

yeah, I don't trust most Pakistan lineups to chase 100 on the last day with last 7 wickets. Let alone one that has only 3 proper batsmen.

 

[Xuhaib]

To be honest they deserved to get pasted worse then this for the moronic team selection


We are already not a great side but the tactical and strategic dumbness they display so regularly means we are playing a bigger catch up with the opposition

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is the pitch better for batting now than on the previous days?

Sajid 7.

Given that Faheem Ashraf is in the squad and presumably fit, the selection is ever more baffling. So obvious that we need him at 7 and no more than 2 pacers. And Fawad. Ugh. Deserve to lose.

 

[Xuhaib]

If Babar has to dominate in sub cont conditions he has to develop a well controlled sweep shot.i think it was an interview where Imam mentioned that when as kids Babar use to play the sweep and get out his father would dress him down and tell him to put this shot out-of his locker .
I know it's not easy to forget some child hood traumas but he has to get playing that short if he needs to score big runs consistently in Asia.

Not at all according to the odds at stumps...

Pakistan 1.35
S.L 3.7
draw 50

That Bilal Asif shot was hilarious.

Really quite difficult to asses that, runs look quite hard to come by but Abdullah has been as solid as a rock.
Looks like a fantastic prospect for Pakistan.

Always good to see quality test players emerge.

Been a fan of Shafique's technique since he debuted. Very happy to see him in the runs.

Great to see we've done well overall, I was afraid we couldn't get close to 200. However with Babar gone and the state of the rest of our batting, it's tough to feel anything resembling comfort.
