The only other pacer in the squad is Ehsan Adil and his performance is bs in ODIs.


Then why was he picked first time in squad? Once picked, one can't complain past record; besides these 2 are not setting the wicket on fire either.
 
Parera will now go on a rampage.

Projected still at 313 for the last 10-15 overs.
 
Normally they double from the 30 overs mark, and I guess it was Benaud's formula. But, I don't think, SRL 'll get to 375, may be Dilshan could have taken closer, but still it 'll be hell of a chase - today SRL has picked a better balanced attack.
 
No malinga means we can chase anything under 330

Malik has really bowled well - 4.4 rpo in an innings of 6.25+ rpo so far especially bowling to parera.
 
Malik is delivering in every aspect of the game - I guess, heis really enjoying the game. Most PAK (infact subcontinent) players are too emotional for a professional sportsman, I believe Malik is no different.

I believe there were at least 5 players in that dressingroom that cost Malik almost half a decade of career & a chance to lead PAK in WC - I know who were those 5. Misbah gave him 15-16 matches at a stress, even without a single 50, so it's not him ..........
 
Well pakistan didnt commit a mistake by not playing yasir in the wc. He is a good test bowler but not as good in odis.
 
We are never going to win 4-1 against SL in SL... just wont happen, so why the hell are we playing the same side again...

With the current squad, what change would u have made? Mind u hafeez can't bowl

Actually, he is a bit unfortunate as well - Leggis bowl well if the opening bowlers create a bit of pressure so that they can go after the batsmen - lagta hai the pace trio had a thanks giving day to start with, even after starting with a maiden. Besides, 2 left handers are not helping either. Also, there had been very few leggi who can dominate the game bowling first, they need a bit run on the board & a bit of rough on the wicket.
 
Lovely place srilanka..gotta spend one vacations there just wondering where the money is going to come from. :D

it doesn't matter now. It's in the past. What's important is he's back in naya Pakistan and has a crucial role to play

Just rest Shehzad/Hafeez/Irfan

Bring in Mukhtar/Azam/Ehsan

SL are going to look a different side today, they are not going to lose this series 4-1, would have been better giving a chance to the other 3, and Irfan should be rested anyway, not sure if he is playing in the T20 games but we shouldn't risk him.
 
Ahmed Shehzad really threw that like a bullet. Brilliant stuff.

Anyway what is doing there chatting them up. Cheeky basket.
 
Shehzad seems to have become a cool dude after being dropped. Congratulated Perera on his 100 and putting his hands on Malingas shoulder like a fellow Sri Lankan.

For cricket at least, I was quite happly with Purana Pakistan, yea Naya version looks a bit Chinese made.........

He always was like that. Watch SLPL or BPL videos. Poor guy got castrated for doing a little bit of tableeg. :yk
 
Yasir needs to develop some variety for the odi game. The only variety he has is the natural variation which goes straight on. A googly would help him get a lot of wickets when batsmen are trying to go after him.
 
So boring to see fielders delivering runouts instead of bowlers taking wickets
 
Hambantota shouldn't host D/N matches - light is not the best. Besides, it favors the batting first side too much. IIRC, most of the matches are a bit one sided - batting first or 2nd.
 
PAK got a bit lucky here, Irfan did knock the bail with elbow.
 
Was that really out looked like he knocked the bails before getting the ball like devilliers in the semi final. Anyways well played perera
 
How on earth is that out?? Irfan knocked the bails with elbow. Unless he took a stump out with the ball in hand it is not out, crazy decision..

Do you know how cricket works.....?? You CAN knock the bails with elbow. Even the tv commentators are discussing it. It was 100% correct.
