Re: Srilanka vs. Pakistan 2nd Test match April 03-07, 2006
The Vanue in Past have Suited Medium fast bowlers for Pakistan, 94, 2000 all those times it was fast men who took 20 SL wickets, so i dont blame them completely for playing another Medium fast, I think Afridi got left out more bcoz of Faisal’s inning than for Iftikhar.
yeah the decision can be little confusing, but looking at history of that ground, and the way Pakistani Batting cracks under pressure, its not that bad an idea to play both Yousaf and Faisal together and leave Afridi out.
