Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
Srilanka just took the new ball & Misbah is in.
294/3, Alam 164 *, lead by 144.
Are you that old?? 50+?? Hope you'll accept my apologies for any comment I might have made in the past. :)
No problem, thanks for your comments. :)
Mishab looks totally out of sorts even though I think it was missing leg stump. But they manners he was playing seems like he is not sure of things, no confidence whatsoever....I think he needs to be rested too...I haven't seen any good innings from him lately neither in 20/20...He became totally cool guy now....almost seems like he just wants to prove he is calm and cool....damn...all the hard work done by Fawad and Younis is going in drain now.....now Fawad is gone too......
303/5 now.....
only 153 lead..
well played Fawad Alam, Good job.168.
306/6, Malik & Kamran playing. lead of 156.
what kind of special new ball is this ?
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
all of sudden damn ball is doing a lot..Akmal was unlucky victim of Daryl Harper....so was Misbah I think....Ball was hit high on akmal's pad but that is part and parcel of this game.
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
what a match this is.....what a ball from herath to dismiss shoaib malik....200 lead looks unlikely now.
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
you never know this could be blessing in disguise.....the way ball is moving around....Pakistan bowling at this time with over cloud they get rid of srilankan top order....you never knowww
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
wats wrong with pakistani players 
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
King of double jeopardy here. You cant blame them for loosing the game twice lol. Everyone already had criticized them for loosing the game in the 1st innings, so if they pull it back, u cant blame them again.
Still this match is not over, even 200 can be a fighting target to set.
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
Misbah, Akmal and Saeed all got dodgy decisions but another monumental collapse. Gosh, are our players unpredictable or what! 
This collapse is inexplicable even by Pakistani standards. When I left home for work, Pakistan were 294/2 at Lunch. When I arrived at work they were 320 all out!!! It's like our batsmen just don't have the right temperament or attitude for test cricket. The fact that they have n't played much test cricket of late is perhaps the biggest reason for such frequent collapses but still...The test and the series is definitely gone now
Third collapse in as many innings...
You never know, 134 runs still need to be scored. Once Umar get that swing going and Ajmal gets to grip the ball it could be hard to score runs. 4-5 wickets and the pressure is always stronger on the batting side.
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
but we need to be realistic here, This match has slipped through our hands (rather snatched away by Herath) And it will be another miracle of sorts if we win this one. :)
from 285-1 to all out for 320. 
last nine wickets for mere 35 runs.
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
match and series probably gone.. only a miracle could save Pakistan from a humiliating defeat.... Pakistani batsman proved that most of them cant play new ball...
now who is to blame???? mother nature!!!!!!!!

You are dead right there
SLA have basically strolled this meagre total
its over SL 171/3. The target was 3 runs more than what Pakistan failed to get in the 1st test.
The only reason Pakistan fans will ever look up this game again is to see Fawad ALams test debut scorecard.
The three bats sitting out on the bench in this game were Faisal Iqbal, Razzak, Salman Butt, I dont see who you can bring in for Manzoor, Malik, or Misbah. It will probably be more or less the same team for the third game, which we will win :)
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
We are just making record after record. In last match we lost 8 wickets for 47 runs (?) and now 8 wickets for 26 runs… yet another amazing performance by our batsmen.
So Only first 3 batsmen crossed into double digit everyone else was 6, 3, 0 etc wow.
Excellent knock by Fawad Alam :k:
I will blame all those guppies who were talking about how long Pakistan should play their innings, what should be the defendable score bla bla bla… you guys jinxed’em 
Re: Pak V SL - 2nd test
No problem, there is always the third test match. :)
