[NUFAN]

Cricket on Christmas day and a Test match starting New Years Eve is an interesting move.

 

[smash84]

wow, this is a LONG tour

[NUFAN]

Has a Test match ever started and finished in separate years before? Makes it annoying for those calendar year runs+wicket lists we always see.

 

[Maximas]

Really interesting series, SL with some bowling issues bar Herath but Pakistan with a few batting headaches, Herath vs Ajmal crucial I reckon

 

[salman85]

Pakistan-Srilanka is always a good contest.

I'd like to see Gul making a comeback and hopefully do well.Despite the presence of other fast bowlers,an inform Gul remains our pace spearhead.Irfan is a doubt for the series, so that makes Gul's inclusion even more likely.But whatever happens,please for the love of God,i hope Sohail Tanvir and Wahab Riaz don't play any test matches.Give Bilawal a test cap if you want,but dispose off Tanvir and Wahab permanently.

Also, it's time to give Ahmed Shahzad a go in test matches.He's been a regular in our limited overs team this year and he's done a reasonable job.Time to test him at Test Level IMO.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

How is Gul a spearhead? He has always had a support bowler mentality.

 

[salman85]

An inform Gul is more potent than all our other fast bowlers.He has led our paceline for a while now.Atleast in limited over cricket.

How is he NOT a spearhead?

 

[elmadrid]

I hope Pakistan lose all games.

[Agent Nationaux]

Isn't he a Saffer supporter?

 

[smash84]

There is a match going on here

Usman Khan looks sharp, good pace

What's the point in finding all T20 bowlers. We need bowlers who can get wickets in test matches

 

[Agent Nationaux]

The clown finally manages to score some runs and get Pakistan a win.

What's a T20 bowler anyway? There are batsmen who might be suited to the shorter formats, but the rule doesn't really apply to bowlers.

Good win by Pakistan however.If we win the second T20, we climb to the top of the ranking.

 

[Maximas]

I'm really beginning to question the role of Lahiru Thirimanne in the t20 side, particularly when he comes in at 6 or 7, he did all right this game but they may as well get Jeevan Mendis or some other **** to do the job while Lahiru works on his test game

 

[smash84]

the game should have been much shorter but angelo matthews wasn't given when plumb in front

 

[Jassy]

Sri Lanka should win both the ODI's and tests. 3-2 and 2-0 me thinks.

 

[smash84]

yeah, you're just too cool

 

[Maximas]

Pakistan off to a flyer, but Senanayake appears to be a very good short form bowler
