Babar

Rizwan

Shafique

Shaheen

Naseem 50 50

 

4.5 very good players with one being potentially Pakistan's best ever batsman in babar apart from miandad. 

 

Azhar needs to retire. 

Hassan only gets in cause he can bat and tonk a bit

I would play ashram instead

Nawaz is ok

Imam needs to be dropped. Someone else.

[Frustrated]

Amazing that Poyz and SL hv completely different approach towards this test.   Poyz hv gone with 3 pacers.  whereas SL with just 1.    

[Mosher]

Pace demon Naseem bowling thunderbolts at 133kph

[Lone Wolf]

SL throwing away a good start...  Yassir wqs bowling proper filth.  Gifting wickets.

Hassan Ali is consistently Trundling at low 130's. 

[Lone Wolf]

Anything between 250-300 will test Poyzz vs Lankan spinners.

Pakistan hasn't played a lot of cricket in last 2 months or so.  He probably got decent rest.   Guy was even playing against Zimbabwe for them in last 2-3 years.  Most overs bowled as well across formats.  Good for him Pak don't have a tight schedule 

But he also plays PSL and County(where pujara hit him for a six), if i recall.  

[Lone Wolf]

Yasie would be smashed to all parts in India...  Halwa bowling on leg stump.  Matthews just dead batting him. 

No Noman Chacha today. 

[Norman]

This looks like a pretty good batting wicket and will get better to bat on days 2 and 3 as it did against Australia.Great toss to lose for poysz.

PSL was a looooong while ago...  And County Phase 1 has been over for a long time.  Not sure how many games he played.  Probably same as Pujara.

Hardly any spin currently. 

[rollingstoned]

There's no in between with the SLans, they are either minnow level or absolutely gun.

Yet Yasir Shah has picked 2 wickets already.   SL

I think SL would hv lost the series (0-2) to Aus, if not for the desh bhakti shown by Adharmasena.  He gave 2 to 3 wrong decisions in fav of home team.  Unfortunately Aus had exhausted their reviews by then.  

[Clarke]

Pak can win by an inning if they bat sensibly. 

[Norman]

They're making a washed up Yasir shah look like Shane Warne. 

 

No wonder they got troubled against Swepson. 

[Lone Wolf]

Yasir has bowled some tripe...  Yet has been gifted with two wickets..  Kamindu mendis who played so well vs Australia has been dropped as well. 

[Vijy]

expecting Pak to steamroll Lanka here, that's how inconsistent the latter appear to be.

It's very hot there no? Weather impacts speed my bros. Bard to sustain speeds at harsh conditions.

Ghujara of all people tanked him.hard. lmao

Actually that makes total sense. Not cause ghujara is good. It's the pitches. **** *ing steaming pile of pitches that remain flat or get flatter over the course of the test. It makes sense why shitty pommies with their hacks could chase.
