^^ Let's hope Butt gets out ASAP so that Pakistan can try to win the match
Maybe Salman wins this match for PK

^^ I hope he plays with some sense and good cricketing shots from him is what we all accept, unfortunately he seldom delivers...

Good show pakistan 
- Aamer seems to be a real find - the T20 stuff wasn’t a fluke after all -
Highlights anyone?
Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, First Test, Galle, Jul 4-8, 2009
I was Amir's fan when i saw him bowling against M.Yousaf and Kamran Akmal last year in local T20 cup, I was just hopping to see him T20 worldcup since. I didnt ecpect him to be too good in test matches coz of his age; but that guy is awesome :)
Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, First Test, Galle, Jul 4-8, 2009
I'm surprised Younis doesn't bowl more often. He's a handy bowler, and a partnership breaker.
Mohammad Aamer is a great find, hopefully he will pick up speed as he learns.
Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, First Test, Galle, Jul 4-8, 2009
These three new caps are making an exit way for Umar Gul, Aasif and Kaneria 
Umar Gul ain’t going anywhere. However Asif has to make a comeback with show of discipline, committment (to cricket, not to charas/afeem). Kaneria is gone 
and so are the ‘mystery’ balls 
Younis always bowled leg spin whenever he bowled. This is the first time he has bowled seam up deliveries and with some effect! :k: Hope he continues to bowl mor often.

Aray bhaiyon - highlights hain kaheen aaj kee?
Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, First Test, Galle, Jul 4-8, 2009
**Mashallah Pakistan's Bowling lineup is lookin solid ..
Aamer
Gull
Asif (after his return)
Shoaib Akhter (If he is 100% fit)
Afridi
Ajmal
I don't know if Rauf, Kaneria, Tanveer or Rao can make their way into this side
**

please spare us... we can't buy into his version of 100% fitness only to have him screw his team in mid match. Until last year I wasn't opposed to giving him another chance but now I'm vehemently opposed to his inclusion.

Whatz this Match all about?

Rauf is pretty good. He has been hitting the seam and moving the ball both ways. He's tall, and bowls like Mohammad Asif.

His action is a little weird though...specially with the exposed wrist and all...
I wonder if it makes him prone to injury more...
There was one match, I think against India where both Afridi and Younis Khan opened the bowling attack (in 2nd inning) and both bowled medium pace.
Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, First Test, Galle, Jul 4-8, 2009
yaar, man two more wickets down already ....
Pak 72/4, 96 to win, Shoaib + Misbah batting, both on zero
Re: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, First Test, Galle, Jul 4-8, 2009
Malik gone too, bad decision by the Umpire :(
Misbah & Kamran to the rescue !
