He has a terrible technique to play the fast bowlers. Will be a sitting duck in SENA. 

Reminds me of Gill with his high backlift (not that high but still a lol high).  Fuller length balls will always be his weakness.

Yes He has the same issues as Mayank and Gill. That extra split second it takes for the bat to come down from a higher backlift will always be the downfall for such players.

Fully expect Sri Lanka to give away the advantage with an hour of easy singles and a dropped catch somewhere. Even Bangladeshis are more ruthless than them.

Shafique  is considered to be a better player of fast bowling than spin, one mistake and "experts" found a golden opportunity to downplay this extraordinary talent.

SL should  eye a 170-180 lead from here at least.  Pitch is still good for batting though.  Fawad was a big wicket. 

 

Yeah. I rather want Sri Lanka to take a 170 lead than get 200+ and a possibility of giving a follow on to Pakistan. 

 

With the basic lack of tactical awareness in the Sri Lankan camp , they'd definitely put Pakistan in again and let them score 400+.

Considered by who exactly? 

 

Playing fast bowlers "well" on placid Pakistani wickets is completely different to facing them in SENA conditions. At least wait until he plays a test in SENA before judging him to be some ATG/GOAT talent.

Nobody is down playing.  People did praise him here for a match winning 4th inns century.  Anyways SC batsman get always judged in SENA countries.  Indian batters rule the roost in SC but also get bashed/Praised in SENA conditions depending upon how they play.  Technical faults will always be there in every batter.

Rizwan gone as well..  Sri lankans picking crucial wickets.  Fawad vs offie Mendis will decide the game right there. 

Problem is chasing seems easier these days. Will wickets crumble?

Chasing was tough last game even though pitch didn't turned square..   But there was decent rough. 

SL had two off spinner & only one left arm spinner to tackle a right hand heavy batting time.  That's where they lost the game. 

This time they have better combination.  Even though pitch is better than last game.  Big lead will be decisive.  Rain is also there on day 4/5
