I haven't seen the whole match but yeah that seems like something close to the truth. A couple of the catches were genuinely tough too.
The catch Babar took to dismiss Chandimal in the first innings was quality. Took another good one just now. Think he dropped a couple against NZ but he's generally reliable now. Has all the makings of a good captain.. besides tactical nous.

babar was always a reliable fielder. He has the most catches since his debut for pak

It was around 1700 BC, when his friend gary the final tyrannosaurus rex went extinct, Nauman (former name) realised the significance of this world and hereafter. He questioned life, love and power. Centuries later he still questioned these thoughts as generations kept wiping away in front of his eyes. “Oh goodbye Hammond you fraud” said Nauman as he wiped a tear and kept moving on into the next gen. But this generation excited him, he saw two great spinners tear oppositions down, but alas their time ended too. Nauman waited and waited for the next spinning talent to come through but seeing Ashwin and Jadeja averaging 39.5 and 37 away vs Top 6, he knew the world needed a proper hero. And thus at such an old age Nauman decided the time has come to debut and restore the natural law and order in cricket. Unfortunately during his debut year, cricket analysts on the internet had been blinded by Ashwin and Jadeja’s overall stats so much that they could not see the imbalance of more home games stuffed into their average. Nauman was sad that his brilliance was being pushed to the side by the world with all the cameras panning towards those two. “Who’s the new guy in the SL series, he’s unbelievably good!”, thats what Nauman believed would happen if he changed his name, he could perhaps refresh his image in the media once he takes his 10fer in the next innings of the game, and give the cricketing world the hero it deserves.
But.. but..silver line makes things up……..

who would you drop for him, is Madushka good enough with the gloves to replace Sadeera as keeper?
They all are at a similar level keeping wise , even Kusal Mendis kept wicket at the CWC Qualifiers and he kept well to mystery spinner Theekshana and Hasaranga..I rather have either Kusal Mendis or Madushka keep wicket and Nissanka open the batting ..He is just too good to leave out .

idk keeping in tests consistently for 5 days is a whole different job but you are the Lankan fan so I take your word for it

DDS heading for yet another hundred but pakistan take new ball

Mendis (43) put on 76 for 7th wicket with DDS

SL lead crosses 100. Anything over 150 should be quite challenging for Pakistan given their historical collapses in 4th innings
