Fielding looks good. This Test team is 20 times more athletic for some reason than the ODI team. Everybody seems to be hustling more. What a difference a few days make.
 
Need to get Samaraweera very early as he's a very dangerous player. Need to get these last wickets quickly. I want them all out under 450.
 
Gul needs to get Samaraweera on the back foot and then pitch one up. We need him early!
 
Ajmal must bowl to Samaraweera. We need to get his guy early otherwise he'll score very big.
 
Good thing about Matthews is he doesn't have a good conversion rate. We need another wicket to be on top!
 
Hat trick ball coming up. Way to change the complexion of the session!

Legend!!

Without him? Toothless bowlers like Gul and Junaid, would've insured SL get to 1000 runs. Majority of Pan fans are plain dumb to prefer Gul over Sami.
 
Salam all.

Excellent bowling by Ajmal. But worried that he is the only wicket taker. Rest need to contribute (with help of alert umpires of course)

Yes we are dumb Mr clever. Gul should have had at least 2 wickets yesterday.

Sami?? Dont make me laugh! Average of 50+ after 32 tests is testament to Sami,s skill.

w'salaam.

Agreed, worrying that he is the only wicket taker after 107 overs though umpiring errors haven't been helpful for our bowlers

You are advocating playing one of the worst specialist bowlers ever to play test cricket with his 52 average who never does well, over Gul who does well half the time, and you are calling us dumb?

Gul was unlucky should have had 2 except umpires, Sami plays and Sri Lanka end up 400-2 after day 1 with him getting smashed all over.
 
Rehman just keep it tight. Keep it very tight for a few overs and we'll get a wicket.
 
We don't want Jaya to settle. He has 4 hundreds and 4 fifties. Very good conversion rate. A few of those 50's were not outs too.

You're dumb because you judge players by their past record, not their current forms.

Sami hasn't played for two years.

Gul has been sucking for two years in test.

But you're dumb, so you wont get it.
 
A lot of pressure being applied but I feel SL will handle it well. One more wicket here before lunch is the difference. We could bowl em out under 400!

You were probably on planet Pluto when Gul was bowling the English out during the 3-0 mr clever.

What you don't get is that Gul did well in the England series taking useful wickets. Anyway I don't mind replacing Gul for a better option but not Sami. How many test match failures does this guy need to prove he's poor, and what has he changed in his game to make u think he will have any effect? I care about past record unless a player has changed big time. In Sami's case he would have to have changed so much to be any use.

You are obviously slow to learn lessons, you want to keep recalling proven failures. You may think he deserves more chances, I look at his record and think how was this guy given 32 tests.
