Haris has played Herath and Sandakan so well today
FC stats don't look too impressive, seems a white ball bowler.I was referring to Akila Dhananjaya TBH.. he took 6 wickets against India in that ODI game.
How are Pakistan in deep trouble? They're the only ones who can realistically force a victory here, by bowling Sri Lanka out cheaply. Basically even with 120-125 overs left in the match after the previous innings lasted 150odd and 160odd overs.Totally Sri Lanka's session and Pakistan in deep trouble here. Batting on Day 5 against Sandakan and Herath will be tough.
Yeah I made that statement when they were 80 runs behind with 2 wickets to go. Sohail's partnership with Hassan and later Abbas changed the momentum of the gameHow are Pakistan in deep trouble?

If Sri Lanka bat okay they won't have any time to bowl Pakistan out - ie draw. If Pakistan skittle them then they're heavy favourites. There's no scenario where Sri Lanka have a reasonable shot at winning, other than by giving Pakistan a reasonable shot at winning with a generous declaration.
Lol I didn't Gambhire during the CT Semis and Final though. I figured during the England game that if I don't post on CW, Pak pick up wickets and I followed that in the finalLooks like BW's Gambhiring game is on point since the CT..
smileyshah, who?

SL won't have a 150 run lead by lunch - given the scoring rate in the match, state of the pitch, and the situation.Anyway this is setting up for an exciting finish on Day 5. Ball is turning and even if Pakistan bowl Sri Lanka out by lunch tomorrow, anything over 150 can be tricky. They have collapsed against Herath on Day 5 before
Only way we could get a lead like that quickly is from Dickwella.. He has the ability to accelerate breeding in mind he is a pinch hitter at the top of the order in Odi's.. We just need Kusal to keep his head and stay with him.. Will be an interesting last day!!SL won't have a 150 run lead by lunch - given the scoring rate in the match, state of the pitch, and the situation.
This seems like a skill that might be useful off the field. Not sure how it might help on it.Only way we could get a lead like that quickly is from Dickwella..

at least you didn't ask me how I know I suppose..note to oneself, beat each of my fingers severely North Korean style for their error..This seems like a skill that might be useful off the field. Not sure how it might help on it.
