Yasir Shah becomes the quickest spinner to take 150 test wickets.

The next one will be Rashid Khan

aklemalp · #3 September 30, 2017, 08:15 AM

Azhar Ali becomes the 8th fastest and 4th fastest Pakistani batsman to 5000 test runs.

Gowza · #4 September 30, 2017, 08:22 AM

Awesome that samarawickrama is in the squad, hope he gets his debut in the 2nd match, possibly SL's next great batsman.

aklemalp · #5 September 30, 2017, 08:24 AM

This is the closest series in terms of strength from both teams. I think Pakistan has the edge over SL though

Where are those who called SL minnow team just cuz we beat them convincingly?

Flat wicket.

Two teams scoring 400+ in first innings

Roy_1 · #8 October 1, 2017, 07:06 AM

Pak in UAE gotta be the most boring team to watch, almost zero intent to score runs, entire team bats at the strike rate of Azhar Ali.

They need a Fakhar up the order

Seriously?

That guy has technique worse than a tailender

Yes yes I know he did score a century against us and so did plenty of other hacks.

Even Sharjeel who I consider a poor man's {poor man's(poor man's)} Sehwag was far better than him.

Man, you nah even got any belief in the Fakhar?

A useful hack is better than an average hack

A Hack can't do jack in test cricket my friend. Both Sami Aslam and Shehzad are better than Fakhar, both have issues with finding the gaps though.

Aww there it is, I feel relaxed now

Roy_1 · #17 October 2, 2017, 07:56 AM

Lamao what a team Pak has become, can't chase down 130 in their own backyard

The same team we whitewashed recently anyways congrats to Lanka.

@Jeesh I told you so

Roy_1 · #18 October 2, 2017, 08:37 AM

People screaming on top of their lungs for an Indo-Pak test series should retire from passing opinions, a series between no 1 and no 6 is never a good advertisement for test cricket, Pak should keep playing SL, Zim and Afghans.

It just shows how great the indian team really is. This very same Lanka team will get thrashed if tomorrow they play against India.

The same Australian team that got humiliated against the India in ODIs will hammer PAK, England and new Zealand anywhere in the word.

No wonder srilankan team coach has declared this Indian team as all blacks of cricket. They r certainly one of the greatest cricket teams of all time.

aklemalp · #20 October 2, 2017, 10:05 AM

Why are we talking about the Indian team?

This was a good victory for SL. Herath in 4th inning was always going to come at the batsmen. I believe his stats in 4th inning is impeccable.

Best spinner on the planet

Glad to see SL bounce back. Always happy to see a Lanka win, and a PAK loss.

Cuz when we thrashed this same team in Lanka couple weeks ago haters were running extra miles to undermine that achievement trying to prove how minnow Lanka is. Funny how a team becomes minnow after losing to India and turns into a formidable side overnight playing against other team.

I guess it is time for some entertainment. @sportingBD thoughts?

SL and PK have lost their core senior players, they have become minnow test team.

The only Asian team with core senior player is Bangladesh.

They're likely to beat SL/PK quite comfortably in sub continent.
