Thread for Pak vs SL series

[Deep Dey]

First topic message reminder :

Discuss here about Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Series,2011 in detail(only international matches(Test,ODI,T20))

UAE is the adopted home for Pakistan's Matches as well as bring back Cricket to UAE. This will surely one of the most tiring series of the year because of the heat in UAE. Going by last year's Pak vs SA series here, you can expect bowlers will have no rejoice. More importantly curators of India will be jealous of UAE curators because pitches here are evn more flatter than India.
Last year even DAle Steyn was useless here.
We can expect huge hundreds scored by batsman and huge score by both teams.

29.5 Shahid Afridi to Mathews, out Mathews Run Out!! This is disaster for Sri Lanka. Afridi bowls it flatter and on the middle and leg stump, Mathews nudges it to square leg and sets off for a quick single, Mahela takes a few steps and decides to send him back, Mathews turns back as Razzaq picks it up and fires the throw to Sarfraz who breaks the stumps, Mathews puts in the dive but he is well short of the crease, huge wicket this for Pakistan. Mathews run out (Razzaq/Sarfraz Ahmed) 10(31)

Dilshan is Out of FORM!

The moment he gets the captaincy, he loses his form

[Legend Killer Harshit]

32.4 Hafeez to Kulasekara, out Caught by Umar Gul!! That is a horrible shot from Kulasekara under the circumstances. Tossed up outside off, Kulasekara looks to go over mid off but ends up mistiming it completely, holes out to Umar Gul who takes a simple catch at mid off, SL sink further. Kulasekara c Umar Gul b Hafeez 0(6)

I think pakistan will win this

[Legend Killer Harshit]

37.1 Ajmal to Mahela Jayawardene, out Caught by Razzaq!! Pakistan have sent the last recognized batsman here. Ajmal lands it short and on the middle and leg stump, Mahela bends down and plays the paddle pull to backward square leg, but finds Razzaq who dives forward and takes the catch with two hands. Mahela Jayawardene c Razzaq b Ajmal 24(57)
