Who is this Fawad Alam? Is he that talented? Or its just another case of over-hyping a mediocre talent? I thought he is an all-rounder. Then how come he was not give the ball yet.... its 39th over going.

Quite surprised with Maliks captaincy...should have given a bowl to Fawad and he himself should have bowled a few overs...Asif was having a bad day yet gave him to bowl 10 overs...not good captaincy...

As for Fawad Alam, he is gone for 0 today and didnt get to bowl today but if stats are anything to go by then he looks to be a good player. Will have to see him in the near future.

Captain's knowck from Shoaib Malik. Ket trying till the end. Good fughting knock.

Yasin · #17 May 23, 2007, 02:43 AM

Sri Lanka trashed Pakistan. For the first time in this series they played like the runners up of the world cup. Awesome win for them. Pakistan shouldnt have made so many changes, especially Imran Nazir, because they are still in search of good openers for the team. Imran and Butt have given them good starts in both the matches. Should have persisted with the duo.

yep... without them the last series only served to get pakistan some of their confidence back... i think shoaib malik, as a captain leading from the front, will continue to shine. on a personal note, it was great to see the lankan lions come roaring back the way they did... they remain my second favorite team after BD, followed by west indies... still and always.
