Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test
Whitewash will give Pakistan No.2 Test ranking
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan have the chance to claim their best-ever position in Test cricket world rankings in the coming weeks.
If Pakistan can win both matches of the forthcoming home Test series against Sri Lanka, they will climb to second spot behind Australia in the ICC Test Championship table.
Pakistan, currently placed third, play Sri Lanka in the two-Test series starting at Faisalabad on Wednesday and must win both matches to improve their rating from 105 to 110 to overtake England by one point.
England climbed to the second position in August but may have relinquished that position to either Pakistan or India (who can climb to 111 with a 2-1 win over Australia in the ongoing home Test series) before they take on South Africa in home Test series in December.
With a positive outcome in their favour, either England or South Africa could then end their head-to-head series in second place. Sri Lanka will fall just short of second if they win the series against Pakistan. A 2-0 win will put Sri Lanka third —on 108 points while a 1-0 win will boost their rating to 106.
Today, New Zealand will begin their first ever Test match against Bangladesh in Dhaka. New Zealand must win both matches of the two-match series to improve their rating from 94 to 95. If Bangladesh can draw one of the matches, they will improve their rating.

*Originally posted by Jazba_pk: *
i completely disagree with yasir being promoted to open, his natural position when he scored all those rus in domestic cricket was no.3, i know he has extremely well in odi opening, but if according to bob we are really expreimenting that match maybe asim can open, and that can be a problem because besides net he hasnt playes any competative cricket since april!
[/QUOTE]
Ahan, so you want to experiment with Asim Kamaal who hasnt opened at all in domestic level and has scored his runs in middle order and you are against Yasir opening although he has opened in one dayers since the very beginning but no test opening record?? Okay, that did not make sense.
So far a great start by Pakistan. Shoaib and Sami bowling really well. :k: For a change, they got us few early wickets

Im surprised Pakistan hasnt included a full time 3rd seamer. Razzaq is a useless bowler in test matches. I think Pakistan have made a mistake by playing both Razzaq and Malik in the playing 11. I think it should have been Razzaq who shouldnt have played...he cannot play against spin bowlers, and the Sri Lankan attack is mostly spin bowlers. Naved ul Hasan would have been a much better choice to replace Razzaq.

Sri Lanka 38/3 (15.0 ov)
Not bad, especially for a test match. :k:
Ud da Dupatta mera Mul Mul daa
Ud daa
20.6 Abdul Razzaq to Jayasuriya, no run, full ball, outside off, goes for the drive, gets an edge, drops by Inzamam in the slip
Abdul Razzaq bowling really well and should have had Jayasuriya but for Inzimam's drop catch
Sri Lanka 58/3 (25.0 ov)
and thats LUNCH on day 1....
I dont know whats up with Inzi's fielding. He dropped crucial sitter of a catch in the final of Attapatu and now he dropped Jaysuriya. A captain should lead his side by example...and here's our captain...can't even take simple catches. I dont meant to be too harsh on Inzamam, but catches are a very important part of the game and must be taken. And im sure this dropped chance of Jaysuriya is gonna cost Pakistan a lot.
