*Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka

[AaronK]

Really interesting choice here...Fawad Alam is openning with Manzoor..

 

[TT Boy]

Pak won the toss and elected to bat. Butt out for middle order batsman Fawad Alam, who is opening...

Sri Lanka unchanged.

 

[Fusion]

What's that? The opener failed again? Shocking.

 

[TT Boy]

New opening combo for the 3rd test then.

 

[TT Boy]

Captain gone. Oh dear.

 

[Fusion]

Two down. Younis is gone. What a lovely start.

 

[AaronK]

recently the only time that pakistan found a good openning combo was during indian tour..back in 2007..Salman butt and Yasir hameed.. they didn't score big but gave pakistan a goood start on almost every inings..

look at this.. as i am writing younis is gone.. bowled him..

 

[Prince EWS]

Fawad sacrifised as opener. Not really fair on him TBH but from what I've heard, he has the temperament and technique for opening so it might be a good call. Personally would've just dropped Malik and batted Alam at 6.

 

[Fusion]

Boy do we ever need a big innings from MoYo.

 

[AaronK]

it sucks.. because i picked younis over yousuf in my cricketweb fantasy team..and here yousuf is firing boundries.. i dont wana Jinxed for Pakistan here lol

 

[Fusion]

Good start from Yousaf. Will need plenty of that stuff.

Edit: Survived a close call for LBW as I wrote that.

 

[AaronK]

i will be soo happy if fawad alam scores and i really like this guy..

 

[Fusion]

3 down!

Butt only scores runs against India.

Kulasekara now got his bowling average under 50. Seems able to swing the ball both ways now, not at any great pace mind.

Misbah needs an innings, good time to provide one.

 

[TT Boy]

4 down.

 

[Fusion]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[Fusion]

5 down now for 51. Pakistan will be lucky to cross 100.

 

[Kensashi]

lol!

 

[AaronK]

lol

that was pathestic batting, Kulaskera was superb but some of seniors the two Ys and Kamran gifting their wickets
