Haris is injured. Babar azam is another one of those overhyped players on this forum just like many others.
Fawad has a strong case, though.

I wasn't talking about this match so haris being injured has nothing to do with it. I mean if yk and misbah retire after this match, we have ready replacements for next test series.
Ok leave babar alone, if u think just fawad and haris are good enough then you already have the replacements available.
 
This is where I miss guys like Shoaib Akhtar - bowlers that can just tear through a batting lineup. Forget trying to contain runs just take wickets.
 
Pakistan need to hunt for another express fast bowler. Someone in the mold of akhtar and waqar. Its boring watching trundlers.
 
It's not even 200 yet!

164-4, Let me predict,

Mubarak-Mathews Ptrnshp 50 more runs
Chandi-Mathew/Mubarak 50 more runs
Tail 50 runs

Esily 300+ to chase, and if they play well, it can be even more than that. So brace yourself for an appaling defeat pplz
 
Ehsan will always need some help from the pitch , not the one for future when we are playing most of our matches in uae.

Good for you.
 
Bit disappointing. SL well placed to bat us out of the game.
 
It will be one of srilankas greatest test victory , coming from behind and winning it. I dont think they have done it before.

They did that in 1994-5, against PAK, in PAK; that too after losing the 1st Test by innings.
 
Pallekele's ground staff are so crazily well organized and efficient, it sometimes feels like you're watching a North Korean military show.
 
THis is a very inexperienced team, This would give much needed belief and confidence to SL

Agreed, but that was 1994, before winning the WC & that was a tremendous PAK side. That series was a classic example how home team can be screwed by incompetent & dumb groundsmen.
 
5 mins to go.

We need to come out all attack.

Imran Khan needs wickets.

We gotta get remaining 6 wickets within 80 runs to win this game.
 
Ehsan does not even look close to taking a wicket.... he really needs to show something asap, or we need to bring in a diff bowler.
 
Would be a real sickener to lose this series considering Sri Lanka haven't even played particularly well. There's been no demons in this pitch, our batsmen just cannot handle any half-decent seam bowling.
 
Ehsan adil getting no bounce. How is an edge even going to reach the keeper?
 
I think, most of the posters are cursing Adil & Imran for wrong reasons - they are bowling to SRL batsmen. Batsmen with good technique & temperament -with a 60+ lead on a low scoring match, they are not going to gift wicket. Started with a bit of aggressively for that 66 lead & now has got the nose well in-front - buying their time & waiting for the blower to over stress. Had been watching the match whole night - these 3 pacers bowled good enough to get PAK 7-8 down for 100 by now.
 
It would have been great to see wahab rahat and yasir bowling in tandem

These bowlers are garbage. Ever since that 1st rain delay, they have barely troubled the batsman! Only Yasir show actually looks like he may get a wicket. I am not sure what you are watching, but if you are impressed by these bowlers, you are way too easily impressed.
 
Sri Lanka is showing how to bat on this pitch but unfortunately our players are not smart enough to understand.
