Farhat with a very good 50, Pak need 69 to win and beat Australia in a Test match for the first time since 1995...
Not gonna disagree with you about this Pakistan team's batting line-up - It is largely piss-poor, but that is because of reasons not associated to lack of talent.Been like that forever and ever...diff being the great bowlers in the past were absolute legends, so the team won off their backs.
These bowlers are very good, but young and inexperienced, so they still aren't in a position to drag the team to wins consistently.
That's what happens when you're batting on a flat wicket and against an amazingly crap bowling lineup.Sri Lanka 642-4 declared! . . . . . Impressive.
It's alright, the SL bowlers won't do much better, India will get 400 in reply.That's what happens when you're batting on a flat wicket and against an amazingly crap bowling lineup.
More than that I reckon, our batting is probably the strongest in world right now, just a shame that our bowling is on par with Bangladesh.It's alright, the SL bowlers won't do much better, India will get 400 in reply.
Think Sehwag and Tendulkar's form has gone up in the last two years while Dravid's form has definitely deteriorated. Laxman's form has remained pretty much the same, you've missed Dhoni from our list who is extremely consistent.I dont think your batting is as strong as it was a couple of years ago when
Sehwag
Tendulkar
Dravid
Ganguly
Laxman
were all in great form....
All these batsmen are now wrong side of 30...and have not all performed together in a while.
Bresnan called up for Shahzad who is still having trouble with his ankle.
Pretty clear what the team is going to be now
Strauss
Cook
Trott
KP
Colly
Morgan
Prior
Broad
Swann
Anderson
Finn
Really? i think that’s wildly optimistic, England are in probably as strong a shape as they’ve been in for years (since 05 for sure) and they dont lose home series very often, Pakistan just barely scraped a drawn series against a way below par Australia an average looking australia who England have had under the thumb in every form of the game for over a year now, wasim Akram had it right when he said facing England will be a step up from the Australian side they’ve just barely squeaked a draw against.Think Sehwag and Tendulkar's form has gone up in the last two years while Dravid's form has definitely deteriorated. Laxman's form has remained pretty much the same, you've missed Dhoni from our list who is extremely consistent.
355/4 India's score at the end of the day, what a boring this match has been so far.
Eagerly waiting for Pak-England tommorow, think it's gonna be a cracking series with Pakistan most likely winning it
Sehwag and Tendulkar are absolute beasts right now. Can't stop scoring.I dont think your batting is as strong as it was a couple of years ago when

Yeah it's been ridiculously boring.What's the point of even playing this test match and than they wonder why the interest of Test cricket is going down in Sub-Continent. I'm much more excited to see the England-Pakistan match.
The only thing that might make this test match interesting is if India score 250 runs in the next 40 overs and put lanka to bat for the last day. Although I doubt our bowling is competent enough to dismiss a team completely in one day on any pitch in the world let alone this flat track.Yeah it's been ridiculously boring.
yeah ok,I don't know why they play test matches in Sri Lanka. They're the worst team in the world, with the most retarded pitches.
well they are a small nation, with not a lot of international standard players.I didn't mean the worst team in the world in rankings, but to watch play. All they do is pile on runs, and then let a spinner or two bowl the entire day.
