**Official** Pakistan and Sri Lanka in UAE

[r3alist]

not talking about raw stats just a general look at their bowling. Junaid despite bowling well but you an still see there are areas he needs to make adjustments to improve Aamer by the end of the England series was looking almost a complete bowler it was hard to find weak points in his bowling.

Amir's rapid evolution as a bowler is not something I have seen in my life,but he is out of the picture so let's put him to one side for now.

We have a promising young quick here and we say -" but you are not as good as amir".
Well if he cam stay out if trouble and keep this up I would say he is better!!!


Plus to say amir had no weakness is a OTT, I think ASIf was a player you could bank on to be top notch.

I think it's harsh to say that Junaid will only be good as Gul. He is already more clever than Gul.

 

[Furball]

Junaid didn't bowl much in the Championship for Lancashire did he?

 

[r3alist]

Yeh, that as well.

he's excellent old ball bowler like any Pakistani quick however his new ball skills need some work, does not get any shape with the new ball. Best part about him is his attitude can run in all day.

Yes that is also a curse for Gul. He prefers to run in all day instead of trying to out think his opponent.

 

[smash84]

yeah Junaid seems awful with the new ball.

Interesting now with Wahab, Cheema, Gul, and Khan all competing for spots in the team. I guess Tanvir can kiss his career goodbye

lol......so true

 

[ganeshran]

Congrats Pakistan. Clinical performance

Is that sarcasm?

 

[smash84]

kind of

No surprise there! Only one team looked like picking up 20 wickets through this series and they managed this time. Deserved it.

Good, settled attack that Pakistan have got and I hope the fans are not too critical or over-demanding. Junaid Khan looks fine and seems particularly skilled with the old ball. A lot of people had questions about Ajmal's ability to destroy relatively good batting lineups; hopefully this performance is duly noted by them. One performance doesn't change reputations overnight for sure, but it does (or should) play a small role to that effect.

Sri Lanka look clueless here and it's rather rich of Dilshan asking other batsmen to show some responsibility. This is perhaps one of the most reckless batting displays I've seen by a batting skipper over a period of two test series. Unless the Lankans buckle up, it's going to be 2-0 in the next one. Looking at the wafer thin bowling attack (I'm using that term loosely), trying to restrict the scoreline to 1-0 would be their best bet!

Well these were helpful conditions for ajmal, and it's good he performed, but I just wanted to make that point.

 

[Ikki]

Congrats to Pakistan. Hope they can build on this.

 

[Xuhaib]

was turning but was hardly a bunsen this was a much better bowling effort his pace was excellent throughout the game I still don't like his use of flight and lack of drift feel he will struggle to pick up quality spin players in test cricket unless its really turning or they are badly out of form like Mahela

 

[Athlai]

Piranha clearly sucked the life out of Sri Lanka's innings. If he didn't bat so slow then his teammates wouldn't have had to play rash strokes for no reason at all to make themselves feel like they're scoring fast in a Test match.

 

[smash84]

tbf Piranha looked somewhat solid which you can't say about the rest of the side and the Pak bowlers were not dishing pies.

 

[Flem274*]

Athlai was being sarcastic. He loves that bloke.

 

[smash84]

lol....ok.....didn't pick that

 

[Athlai]

I coined Piranha on here.
