Not true? musta been a different game I saw then.
Just bowling wise thus has to be one of the worse performances I've seen from Pak. Even on flat tracks we tend to pull a rabbit from the pack but today has been really flat.
Full credit to SL who started the day at 7 for 4 and now have batted Pak out of the game. The wicket is still flat but our batsman have been known to bottle it when it counts.
I think SL are playing for a draw. That 100 of mathews would have been considered as great one, but now he has pretty made it a bad one at the same time. All the advantage was with SL, but he still went with a sr of 40.
I dont see SL declaring until closer to Lunch cause they look very negative. They probably are aiming for a 300+ lead. It would take miracles and poor batting from Pakistan to lose this one now.
Viru,
Agree that's what Lanka will do, but if I were them I'd bat for an hour and have a real go. Pakistan will play for a draw, even if it's 275 70 overs.... Lanka know that they only really need younis and misbah out.
Very poor fight from Pakistan. Wouldn't surprise me if we bottle it tomorrow. We are experts at that.
Manzoor is not international class. Needs to be dropped.
Yeah looks all over the place
Are we going for the win or what- looks like we're 50/50 at the mo... Maybe assess situation at tea?
I doubt we will go for win here. 183 in 32 overs is too much of an ask.
Think Akmal has picked up an injury as well so defo won't be going for it
Pakistan should ask themselves: "What would South Africa do in this situation?" Then do it
it's all about improving your batting average.
Seriously though, I'd love us to attempt this, at least until the next wicket falls... But they haven't got it in them
Me too and then send in Bhatti to slog and if that fails Misbah and Khan will steady the ship.
Why don't they just shake hands and get this over and done with
You can't until 15 overs are left.
Tame draw. SL will be the happier side.
Unlucky about the Asia Cup final boys
Decent start considering in last 2 tests in this ground we have been bowled out for 99 in first innings.
99 on both occasions?
57 runs in one session is dire
Hafeez fails again in a first innings.
The 2 big fish have gone. We will struggle to put a total now.
Bottled it.
Typical pakistan
Will our shockingly poor tail wagg this time? Also don't get why Rahat is playing
