This is still a good batting pitch not a minefield. Herath bowled really well plus our batsman had no intent tuk tuked and created pressure on themselves.
 
Not often that you see a side lose a test match after scoring 450 in the first innings...
 
ajmal always folds under pressure, so it was always a big ask for him to bowl when our backs were against the wall.

eventhough he has performed ok against sri lanka, sri lankans play ajmal and rahman with ease over the years i've seen them.
 
I always knew that this Pakistan attack didn't have it to pick wickets, but I will be disappointed if they give away 100 runs in 20 overs on a Day5 pitch. Its still a draw for me.
 
120 should've been a good score, Pakistan 20 runs short. I would rather have spin from both sides and make batsman work hard for runs
 
Pakistani captains, bowlers, coaches allways talk big before a series but more often than not it backfires.

Both Misbah and Waqar were warning Sri Lanka against Ajmal, but he has been completely outbowled by Herath here. Really hate these rubbish talks.

Just shut up and go out and win matches.

In this era 100 in 20 overs is nothing. Even Pak chased 300 in 50 overs on a Day 5 track against Herath
 
Ajmal is a bottler. Turns into a guinea pig as soon as the pressure is on.

Very well said, same old garbage.

I don't know about the world, but our captain settles for a draw, even when there are 80 required of 20 overs. :msd
 
You need top class fast bowlers in such situations. A couple of wickets with the new ball here would have set SL back.
 
That's way too loose from Ajmal, just keep it tight and make the batsmen work for runs.
