so Gul is 35 off 42 now...lol


oh now i see the secret of Malik success...lol
 
Gul approaching his 30- I guess in tailending circles, this must be known as "the nervous 29s"

It doesn't matter how good the pitch is anymore.

We need time to get them out.

I think you have forgotten the Triple hundred of Younis khan at karachi test......people are just over praising Malik......If this century had come in the 2nd test....then it would have been so much special.....
 
I suppose Gul setting himself for something big in the ODIS

True. He hits the pitch hard and hurries the batsmen. Quick, bouncy pitches are perfect for him.

I may be wrong, but I don't think we're playing in Perth this time...

Looking at Malik make a fool of himself against a slow medium pacer this morning, I am not sure if Pakistan should be playing in Perth

Well if Malik scores consistently like Younis and Yousuf for a considerable period of time only then we should be worried that who should replace Malik....at the moment any middle order batsman scoring heavily in the domestic season can replace Malik.........

I think he must he eyeing his 50......well deserved for a tailender....

Agreed. I think we all remember (though we try not to) what happened the last time we played at Perth.

A bowling attack of Asif, Gul, Aamir, and Ajmal would really test Australians hopefully our batting can hold up.

If Aus has any sense they will pick any mediocre left arm spinners and he will run through our batting.

:afridi should now be automatic selection in any game against Oz.

We don't have mediocre spinners we don't even have first class standard spinners.
 
If younis has dreams to become like Imran Khan....
He has to change his casual attitute towards team members.....even Malik made strong decisions during his tenure as captain....Younis should step up and be courageous to make bold decisions regarding team selection playing eleven as afterall he is answerable to all not individual players.....
 
Should have declared and let SL have 1 or 2 uncomfortable overs before lunch...

Yes... off course he merit selection in any team of Pakistan even longly on his bowlling skill.....if he performs as a batsman that a bonus for us we should understand this now....
 
Saddens me to say that after this match Gul of all people
is the Third Highest Six hitter for pakistan this year. In all forms of the game.
Many of you will say sixes dont matter but it just shows how out of form our batsman have been as they all like to hit sixes and in form are quite good at it.

i agree...

you can't have passengers like Malik/Misbah/Kami in the team and talk about wants to be like Imran...

It would be really testing for Sri lanka facing 2 to 3 overs before lunch with the new ball.....but....I think YK want to be safe 1000% safe....

YK have two choices at the moment...\
Either....he should drop these 3 players from the team..
OR.......He should correct the problem in the team and reprimand these 3 players to perform consistently or get out of the team immidiately.....

given the current scenario of the PCB.....I think YK should be exercising the option of seriously reprimanding the trio regarding under performance rather than doing nothing.....

The way YK performed with the bat I dont think he can say much to other batsman for not performing in the series
Atleast not to Misbah who scored 2 fifties and Malik who hit a century as they both performed better than him

But you should not forget YK took crucial wickets at curcial times in the whole test series......

I thought we were talking about batsman not performing
thats his job if he wants to play as a bowler than maybe we should play someone else 1 down

I am not defending his batting failures...but...he somehow surprisingly contributed in the test series.....Misbah Malik and Akmal were total failure in the first 2 tests...

yes Malik tried to do nothing just stood there and scored 38 no

where great batsman like YK, MY and the whole team scored a less than fifty
 
Adbul Razzaq should have been given a chance to play in the third match. He is a good all-rounder, much better than many players who failed to perform in all the three test matches. Misbah performs better in one days and T20s.

Ridiculous suggestion. It is a sport, batsmen can't make runs every time they bat. Sometimes the bowler wins. You can't reprimand a batsman for getting out unless it is a foolish shot.
 
Pakistan should come out and bowl after lunch and try to win this game and salvage some pride and a win.
 
Stupid decision by YK to bat on after lunch, how many runs can 10&11 score???
They can only waste some time but that will only help Sri Lanka, very stupid and defensive decision by Younis Khan.

There was no need to continue batting after lunch.
 
We need to keep Lanka in the game by giving them enough overs to chase this! Otherwise they will go into complete turtle mode.
