teaser bhai, I asked Razzler to hit only six sixes and he didn't even do that for me. Instead he only hit one. :)
seriously speaking though what's your take on this? IMO, Unless Shoaib's in devestating mood I don't think we can pull this one off. Jaya is very experienced as is Atapattu.

I think we can win this one, cuz Sami and Gul bowls to the line and length only Shoaib I think goes off track but if he bowls well that would be a plus, consider the pitch I think PAK has a chance.

Last time Eng played on this ground and they made 143 all out, SL won the match by 5 wickets so I think 199 is a big total on this pitch with our bowling line up.

Forgot about the match and only watched the last ten overs. Not a very good score by Pakistan, but cannot understand why Shoaib was sent ahead of Razzaq. Yes he hit a few in the world cup but he is hardly a batsmen.
My apologies to all who were trying to link to my url, it will be up and running shortly for the SL innings and you can all then watch Shoaib going for 70 runs in 10 overs. :)
Once again Cricinfo is stating the facts without even watching the match.
"Pakistan Struggles to 199"
Maybe the idiot had watched the match and maybe looked the state of the pitch and the pathetic outfield, then they would have realized that 200 runs on this pitch is like 240 on a normal pitch.
People may criticize Hafeez for playing slow but he played a very useful inning, it is a very bowlers track, all our bowlers have to do is bowl with pure discipline like Sharjah and Pakistan has a really good chance of winning.
Shoaib should open the bowling, as the pitch is assisting the new bowl earlier, if we can crack some earlier wickets than Pakistan has a really good chance of winning.
The sixer by Sami was an amazing one.
Shoaib Akhtar was unfortunate to be run out, god knows Pakistan would have been around 240 runs had he stayed there.
Though I still think Sri Lanka has a 65% chance of winning.
199 can be a good fighting total on this pitch, if the bowlers stick to their line and length and bowl with disipline, especially Shoaib. Lets hope for the best :k:
Is it mandatory for Pakis to be so pessimistic? "Sri Lanka still has 65% chance of winning" and "you can watch Shoaib be hit 70 for 10."
I think M. Hafeez did well but he REALLY needs to transfer the strike faster.
Faisal and Taufeeq were useless as always. I hope the Misbah gets picked up for England and we see one Imran on the team be it Farhat or Nazir.
I don't think we're so desperate that we need the likes of Afridi back. Did you see what he did in the double wicket challenge? Hit a big six and screwed up his back so they had to forfeit their other matches!
199 is not so bad considering the pitch. I just hope that Shoaib shows everyone why he's on the squad.
