Tbf SL bowler's have maintained good line's and have been disiplined but some player's have led to their downfall

We've got one Junaid Khan. You've got 4 keepers. You can take one of Wahab Riaz or Sohail Tanvir, they're pravtically the same.

They also have "batting ability" according to Misbah. (Not hating on Misbah, but that was a damn ridiculous statement)

Yeah. We have batsmen who can't bat and we've got bowlers who can't bowl, but apparently, they can "bat". Yeah, that has to go down as one of the most moronic statements in history. I expected better.
 
Even Sarfraz looks better than Shafiq because he looks busy and intent to run make runs. Shafiq acts as if playing 30 consecutive dot balls is the norm.
 
A shambolic session to say the least massive work needed ahead hope the tail will wag here
 
Pakistan batsman are clearly overrated. Can't play swing and seam against Sri Lanka type of bowlers and only perform on roads against such teams.
 
Domestic Cricket Going on in Pakistan

Umar Amin Failed Again

Sir Imran Farhat scored 300

Ehsan adil is 1 Wicket away from his 100 First class Wickets
Currently he have 99 FC Wicket,s with Ave of 18 S/R 35

ZTBLVNBP And PTV V HBL Match has been Delayed by Bad Light

Cant believe who are the pundit who praise this guys being the best in Pakistan and crap.

He seriously is enjoying a free ride here definitely we have better players than him who can bat at 6.
 
Excellent session for Sri Lanka. They would love to take out the tail quickly and try to pile up big score and bat Pakistan out of the match.

Lols at posters calling SL minnows.

What Pakistan lack is a man who can think out of the box. When SL were struggling in first match Mathews came out and took the our bowlers to cleaners and got SL past 200.

If we our captains had thought about this we would never be out for under 100 on occasions we have been that.

A Bangladeshi fan classifying Pakistan batsman as over rated and talking about playing on roads. Wow you seriously need a realty check

Like you wouldn't if you had him? He SINGLEHANDEDLY lost us the second ODI against SL, and many more.

Fine, leave us with Tanvir, take Vicky.

But, Tanvir used to be a pretty good bowler. I remember, he troubled Dilshan a lot with his inswingers in the past.

Farhat was playing against our bowlers, right? Maybe he's found himself an I Sharma.
 
All eye on bowlers again!!!!. It seriously sounds like after the retirement of our batting greats ( we are left with only one batting great :yk), eyes have only been for our bowlers.
 
Pak bowlers will run through SL if pitch remains similar.
 
Going to be tough for Pak to get to 200 let alone 250. These 2 Lankan quicks are bowling 130s too

LOL

I made a thread about this Test 11 vs a domestic 11, which I think should be in the current team but most people had the idea, that the domestic 11 would get annihilated against this Test 11 but my question is, if they can't handle SL medium pacers, then how would they be able to play our very own Sadaf and Ehsan?

The same dude who has centurys against SA home and away, yes will be a great day indeed
 
Jayawardene has 4 catches this game already. A Pak keeper would have easily dropped at least one.
 
That was a peach of a delivery to dismiss Sarfraz. Lankan bowlers have done really well today, credit where due !
 
Now Bilawal and Ajmal shud play aggressively no matter what. At least chip in some runs and raise the total. If they also keep on blocking then it wont be good for the total.
 
In other news, Stuart Broad and Matt Prior just saved a man's life in Sydney.
 
Pakistan should declare now, conditions wont be like this tomorrow.
 
Looks like too much tuk tuk in the opening session for Pakistan

Was this Test publicised? For those of you living in the UAE what are the ticket prices like? I guess people don't have time to go to the cricket for the whole day?

That's so disappointing. Pakistan and SL deserve to play in front of some crowds at least.
