against the run of play and now make it count and get couple more before tea.
 
Game has been going at a snails pace and we are the ones who need to win the game, we need to take 4/5 wickets atleast in this final session, SL only need to draw this test to win series so at moment they dont seem to be in an urgency to be forceful early on during this game.

Getting the ball to turn more than Ajmal and is varying flight, length and pace very well. Most underrated performer in the Test team.

Indeed, I personally think he is a better test bowler than Ajmal, blasphemy for some.
We could have potentially squared the test series in SA had we played him in cape town.

I will not say this Rehman is a type of bowler who will perform more consistently than Ajmal at a certain level but Ajmal can turn the match on his head by taking a bag full, a thing Rehman probably cant do.

Ajmal does not have that extra bit of pace and zip that made his doosra and quicker ball a nightmare for batsmen to face in 2011/12.He has been declining continuously with the odd exceptional performance here and there. Rehman has always relied on accuracy, spin and flight - much more traditional weapons which means that he has been more consistent. Finger spinners can't consistently run through sides anyway.
 
Ajmal is back?, Talha and Ajmal complementing each other well.
 
Talha action gives good view of the ball last thing you need for reverse.
 
If only we had played this attack in this series the results would have been far better
 
Talhas action reminds me of Waqar Younis there is definitely some similarity especially in the follow through
 
Intense pressure by pak bowlers has made the sri lanka score look minimal with the loss now of chandimal too

Talha needs to use his brain a bit.

Rightly said but that will come with some time and confidence. He definitely has the potential and the ability to reverse swing at good pace is something we were missing for a long time
 
ohh dropped. Well drop and caught catches are very hard for pacers as they run forward in there followthrough.
 
Pakistan need to go for the kill here, we pretty much have 2 new batsmen at the crease and if want to win this test then this is where we need to run through the SL lower order.
 
we will still have to bat well. Hopefully azhar
ali can help us get some runs.

First let us finish them man mathews is still there..
 
that was unplayable from Juni; round the wicket 85mph coming in and than going out late.
 
Woke up early as I'm jetlagged flying back from Sydney to Boston. Looks to be a bit of a minefield already on Day 1 eh.
 
PAKIIISTTAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN ZINDAAAAAAABAAAAADD!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!! LETS FINISH THESE WORTHLESS MINNOWS OFF!!!!!!!!!
