Not a bad first day. If Pakistan grinds for next 2 days, match is over.

If and that is a big if, Pakistan doesnt drop catches than they will win this match.
Re: Pakistan v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - 26-30th October 2011

“Itna zaberdast khailta hai. Ager Manzoor Ilahi out na ho tu 100 ker lai ga”

Good to see Umar Gul performing to his near best!
Re: Pakistan v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - 26-30th October 2011
Yes good to see Gul delivering in tests. Junaid has been impressive too
Umar Gul - 9 wickets at 19.88 in 3 innings
Junaid Khan - 8 wickets at 22.25 in 3 innings
Re: Pakistan v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - 26-30th October 2011
Above all ... out keeper's performance is also satisfactory.
Re: Pakistan v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - 26-30th October 2011
True
As a keeper, Adnan is way better than his brother Kamran. Though the latter is a better batsman the main emphasis should be on keeping.
Re: Pakistan v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - 26-30th October 2011
A little competition is good for both Adnan and Sarfraz.
Sarfraz has very clean glovework though difficult for me to say if his keeping is really better than Adnan's. Sarfraz averages 45 in First Class (FC), Adnan just 22
Despite his credentials as the best wk in the country, when he did play, Sarfraz's batting was awful (though that was some 18-24 months ago and his batting has improved, if FC stats are anything to go by) and wicketkeeping wasn't much better than Adnan or Salman's
In the end we can only go on results and Adnan has looked more classy with the bat, and played better shots. His wicket keeping has also looked better when he's played internationals. He's making the place his own by being flawless behind stumps and chipping in with the bat
Sarfraz will get his chance again if Adnan has a serious slump in form but for now the latter should be first-choice w/k IMO

Lakmal to Taufeeq Umar, no run, two in two, Sri Lanka doing a Pakistan here, this time it is Mahela at second slip who puts down a **simple chance**, Taufeeq stays in the crease and has a poke at one leaving him outside off, the edge carried at good height to Mahela, goes in and pops out, what a clanger
14.1
Lakmal to Mohammad Hafeez, 1 run, **chance** goes *just* over Dilshan at shortish extra cover, Hafeez who has been playing from the crease, is surprised by one that jags away from back of a length, bounces too, he pushes at it feebly well away from the body, Dilshan got a hand to it as it looped over him, but could not hold on
It seems in this test Mazhar Majeed in in contact with S lankana :cobra:
