Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

The team looks good, however

Once Amer comes back, Tanvir should be out

And I would replace Hafeez with Sarfraz (good enough to play purely as a batsman)

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Anwar Ali :d6c:

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

All 3 played so calmly. Totally under control.

Usman: "Anwar ALi is turning out to be such an asset for Pakistan. Bowls some good spells, fields like a champ and can beat the ball miles away... terrific"

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Hope didn't speak too soon but I think in Anwar Ali, Pak has found the next Razzaq..

cricinfo:

10.26pm Phew. What a game that was! Pakistan were 40 for 5 at one stage, going absolutely nowhere, but Afridi, Anwar and Imad have won it for them. There was some dew about, and that contributed to some pretty dire bowling from the Sri Lankans. Loads of short balls and full-tosses that Anwar simply kept swiping to and over the leg-side boundary.

Glad that Afridi showed the wisdom to thank the Lankan board and people

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Afridi also praised Malinga and the Lankan youngsters. Malinga in his interview had good words for his young teammates and took the blame.

Enjoyed the prize distribution.

Didn't know Lanka was tops in T20.

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Sri Lanka has the best win/loss ratio among established nations. Pakistan not far behind

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Fielding has improved exponentially

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Pakistan should keep hunting for the fresher and younger talents especially for the shorter formats...continously employ, try, test and

rotate them... :D

Good to hear from Anwar Ali's attitude that he was not playing Malinga but the Ball on merit... :D

PS: Peculiar number of the series is 46 runs again made by Anwar Ali

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

Now a days Pakistani team is playing like a team and the main difference is fielding. Awesome fielding, before they gave 30 to 40 extra runs bcoz of fielding but now they are saving those runs. Well done Afridi and the young guns .
Special Thanks to Sri Lanka.

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

But don't throw the old ones else remember ODI series with Bangladesh. Malik Man of The Series so Sania should be there in Stadium in every match :D

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

You are best substitute of Tony Greig

Re: Pak V SL - 2nd T/20

30-40% of the squad should be composed of the experienced oldies as they may handle the crisis-situation for the better... :D
