I suppose, yeah. But I was more thinking in terms of international debut, as this is the first time I've watched NP bowl. Kohli I knew was a good batsman by the time he made his Test debut.

Just what I'd heard about him, plus what he did against the Lions over here.

Don't worry, nothing rational.

Taufeeq has lifted his strike rate today, 52 from 100 balls, so that's solid going I think Pakistan need to declare towards the end of the day and bowl say 10-12 overs at Sri Lanka.

Hopefully in those 40 overs, they can get a further 140 or so to get a 300 run lead.

It really does seem like it's hard labour to score quickly or get wickets on this pitch. I'd expect a bit more urgency from an experienced player like Younis otherwise.

For all the talk about whether or not pitches like Galle made for good cricket or not, the annoyance comes from the fact that pitches like this get off scott free when it's clearly not what's best to watch for anyone.

Hmm statistically Asad Shafiq doesn't seem like much of a number 6, scores far too slowly and doesn't have the gears to move through. 6 off 44 (3 scoring shots) is pretty shocking in this situation.
