*Official* Pakistan's Test Tour Of Sri Lanka : July 2023

[smash84]

They did once chase 340+ here in Galle ..Thanks to 4th innings king Younus Khan ..What a great batsmen he was.

Yes, that was a pretty good one, but they've also collapsed under 150 quite a few times IIRC.

 

[smash84]

History witnessed pakistan winning test twice on day 5 chasing as high as 382

Ends of DDS off Afridi

Yes, but they've collapsed far more often.

DDS gone, that's a big boost.

Correction that was in Pallekele where Younus got a big one ..The one in Galle was last year ..Abdullah Shafique got 160 in the 4th innings..So they have experience

 

[Silver Silva]

Beauty by Shaheen got DDS ..SL staring down the Barrel, we are gonna have to bowl out of our skins to defend this

 

[Silver Line]

Prabath has switched on it seems

 

[Silver Silva]

Hello hello , is it game on ? Nouman in No man's land with that second run , 38/3 ..

 

[smash84]

A little bit of pressure goes a long way with Pakistan. They really are mental midgets. If SL can apply a little more pressure, Pak may well implode

Nah this is paks game to win Babar is too strong

Lol, have you seen Babar bat against spin?

His ton here last year was glorious and in fairly challenging conditions. I think they've got this though I agree we're not far from disaster at any point. 50(65)* for Babar imo

The ton notwithstanding, every time I have seen babar bat against spin during the past year (Admittedly I haven't watched a lot of cricket the last year, just caught some bits here and there) he looks so suspect and eventually falls to it.

Hope it gets close. Would be funny.

As long as Babar gets that 50*

he averages around 50ish iirc against spin. Its left arm spin that makes him into a tailender

That doesn't sound right. His career average is 48.

Pakistani fielding has been exceptional..Difference between the two sides ..We haven't fielded half aswell

Wow what a grab this is

But is he Nauman or Noman that is the pertinent question. Is this the evil twin playing today?

Listed as Noman on many website not a big deal
