Misbah is a big loss in test cricket for Pakistan. That said, Pakistan have done considerably well in tests over a year and a half.  A blip here and there should not ring too many alarm bells. But a dozen horror umpiring errors in just three days is a cause of great concern. It leaves a sour taste and needs to be addressed. Making DRS mandatory will only help the beautiful game we all love.

Agreed , the umpiring has been dire , but Pakistan have shown little fight before the current stand.  All depends on Younus methinks , but unless weather intervenes it surely will be 1-0. 
         Rather unfortunate for Sangakkara - 199* and believing he'd got to his double ton before being told he was one short. Imagine his disappointment when the last man got out in the next over!

If Pakistan manages to even take the game into the fifth day, that will do  their confidence a lot of good. I expect Pakistan to come back strongly in the next two matches. Misbah's return will be crucial to Pakistan's chances - he is a key figure in the batting line and more importantly knows how to lead the squad - unlike Hafeez who apart from being an ordinary batsman has no leadership credentials.

Pradeep was out first ball SLedge but was not given, Sanga is lucky that he actually got to 199, he should have remained notout on 180 odd otherwise.

While Pakistan have played poorly, the umpiring was the main reason why they lost, if you have 12-14 decisions going against you in one game then you cannot win, no one is a superman here.

I just cannot wait to see Pakistan win the next two tests. Angry

It'll be interesting to see who stands in the next test and if they'll be any repercussions for the umpires of the 1st test.  The ICC's record in disciplining umpires is poor and I don't see that changing anytime soon.  Yes , Pakistan got the worst of the umpiring mistakes , but were clearly 2nd best throughout this contest - they'll have to lift their game considerably to win the final two matches.

I don't agree that Pakistan lost because of the umpiring. As Sledge pointed, PAk were clearly not the best team during the game. The top  order did not contribute and the bowling for most part look ordinary in unhelpful conditions. That said, Misbah's return will boost Pakistan. I am still hopeful - it is not all lost yet.

Pakistan looked bad because they were made to look bad, early on when they had got 2 wickets and should have had Sanga (or may it was mahela) it was not given, a wicket there could have changed the momentum completely, then Taufeeq was given out when he was not out, an opener is crucial to a teams chances, then when Younus and Ayub were going along nicely, Younus was given out when he wasn't, again it gave Sri lanka the momentum. earlier, Ajmal the nightwatch man was wrongly given out, it meant Asad Shafiq had to come out to bat and he was out first ball, had the nightwatchman been there, Asad would never have come out to bat that day and might have played well the next day as he showed in the 2nd innings.

I have just highlighted 4-5 of some 10+ errors made against Pakistan during the game, cricket is such a game that one wicket at the right time or one good partnership can change the course of the game, poor umpiring cost pakistan dearly in the game, even ENG or AUS would have struggled if so many bad decisions go against them.

Keep DRS mandatory and such cases simply won't arise, I don't even count this test match as a defeat for Pakistan, for me it is still 0-0.

I agree with Sam i would say winning was really hard but atleast a draw could have been possible if atleast umpiring was better and sorry Sam but DRS are dead case atleast for sometime now as the terrorist (BCCI) say no so how can it be possible that we have DRS without their permission.

Exactly what i wanted to say well done Tony.

Another display of flexing their financial muscle by the BCCI, However, mystery, I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by encouraging these wrong practices, because of the two month long IPL the quality of the Indian Players coming through has suffered immensely, which is evident in India's free fall from the No.1 position in tests to No.4 at present, also they don't have a single umpire in the elite panel, and now I think even the other cricketing boards will get fed up of this BCCI forcing things their way every time, and it's only a matter of time when all other cricketing boards, esp the financially strong boards like the ECB, CSA and CA take a strong stance against the BCCI.

No Sam i really doubt thats possible as BCCI are just too smart for that apart from ECB i really don't see any other board showing guts to face BCCI and i seriously doubt they care about Indian team or test cricket.

second test starts tomorrow, obviously all the rains south India gets this time of the year are from the monsoon clouds that come from the Arabian sea and the Indian Ocean touching Sri Lanka, it has been raining almost every day here, I desperately hope it is stays dry in Colombo. Can't understand why on earth do the Lankans have their cricket season at this time of the year.

Superb day for Pakistan, they scored at a very rapid pace as well which is exactly what is needed on what is a very flat track. The likes of Saeed Ajmal and Junaid Khan, who I thought bowled magnificently in the 2nd innings of the 1st test, will have to bowl out of their skins to get 20 srilankan wickets.

Hafeez nearing on a double hundred which is good for him, he was out of a no-ball and has made the most of the chance he got. Good knocks too by Azhar and Taufeeq.

Yep mate , it looks likely.  One poser though - why on earth did the Lankans elect to bowl first on that track ??  I can only think the skipper hates his bowlers !Confused

As I had expected, rains and more rains have ruined the test for Pakistan, although 19 wickets in 2 days are possible and have happened in the past, this is far too unlikely, plus the weather won't hold up for 2 full days, so leave it, Pakistan can at most draw at Pallekelle to maintain their unbeaten run, otherwise their almost 2 year unbeaten run can come to an end, quite surprisingly against a team which has not won any of it's last 8 test series.

Just my point sledge, at least in AUG and SEP the frequency of the rains will reduce but June and July is beyond me!

In whatever play we could get today Pakistan did found an opening, although it is highly unlikely that 15 Sri Lankan wickets will fall tomorrow, even if we full days play (which won't happen anyways). Pakistan will have to hope for a more helpful pitch and better weather conditions at Palekelle.

Once Cricket is around Guyana, Colombo and Old Trafford, doesn't matter which time of year it plays, still going to be rain threat.

Pakistan in all sorts of trouble and now they ahve their wicket keeper injured as well, a very lively pitch this but Pakistan should around 300 on board to put pressure on Sri Lanka, at 167/5 effectively 167/6, that looks unlikely. Luckily the rains have taken a break, the forecast for the next 3-4 days actually isn't that bad, we should have a result in this game.

Was it Junaid Khan bowling or was it Wasim Akram? absolutely sensational spell that was by this young lad, I am absolutely delighted because this lad has been consistently brilliant in this series, even on the unresponsive SSC he was making that ball talk.

SLN 44/3 at stumps on Day1 ... Game on!

Game on for sure. I hope the rain stays away. Junaid has already shown the world what he can do with the old ball, but yesterday when the conditions were helpful, he made the new ball talk too and it was some spell - reminded me of Amer at Lords.

I fail to understand why Steve Davies continues to officiate ttest matches - he is already having a horror game - and we only had a day's play.

How about this for an opening spell for whoever didn't watch it

Junaid Khan gets the new ball ahead of Sami. Bowled really well at SSC. Both Junaid and Cheema have proved to be excellent dead-wicket bowlers

1.1

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, starts on a length, just outside off, left alone

1.2

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, length ball outside off, left alone again

1.3

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, a peach. Short of a length, Para plays for the angle, but this one leaves him a little. Luck to not edge it

Three slips, a gully, short leg

1.4

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, 1 run, this one moves in towards the stumps, and he drops and runs, gets a single towards cover-point

1.5

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, no run, nearly edged. Length ball, on off, Chandimal pushes at it, and is beaten by the angle

1.6

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, 1 run, Chandimal off the mark. Length ball, on leg, angling towards off, pushed wide of cover


3.1

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, 1 run, length ball, on the pads, takes the easy single

3.2

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, huge shout for lbw, but I think he has got an inside edge. Short of a length, seaming in from outside off, goes past the inside edge, so no edge, but it has hit him on the thigh. Can't give them

3.3

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, left alone outside off, swings after passing the stumps, done well by the makeshift keeper Taufeeq Umar

3.4

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, another good take from Taufeeq. This one seams in, deflects off the pad, and takes a full-length dive from Taufeeq who appeals too. More in excitement, I think

3.5

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, short of a length, nipping in again, gets an inside edge onto the pad, but it dies down. Nearly a replay of his SSC dismissal

3.6

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, lovely bowling. He has peppered him with movement in all over long, and gets this one to go away. Everything right about this delivery except that it doesn't take the edge


5.1

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, no run, length ball, on off, defended square on the off side

5.2

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, 1 run, short of a length, nipping back in, he gets an inside edge onto the pad, but gets a single to get away from the strike

Goes round the stumps already. He does well from that angle

5.3

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, no run, already some shape away against the angle, nicely push-driven to cover - 142ks

5.4

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, no run, this one nips back in, beats the bat, but hits him on the thigh

5.5

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, no run, Wasim Akram, are you watching this?. Short of a length, on off, has to play at it, and then the ball seams away, and misses the edge. How do you play them? You have to be really good to edge them

5.6

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, no run, O boy. This is lovely bowling. Highly skilled. Pitches this up, drawing him forward, and then again it moves against the angle. Misses the edge. Top-class bowling


7.1

Junaid Khan to Paranavitana, 1 run, swinging in, takes the thick inside edge to long leg

7.2

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, no run, nearly. This angle is troubling Chandimal. Short of a length, outisde off, holding its line, Chandi follows it, and is beaten

7.3

Junaid Khan to Chandimal, OUT, he gets his man. Smart bowling. He shows he has not just the skill but the brain too. After getting balls to leave Chandimal from round the stumps, he gets one to go with the angle. Chandimal nowhere close it. Hit on the roll, on the crease, in front of middle and leg. Steve Davis takes his time before raising his finger. Clipping leg, I would say


LD Chandimal lbw b Junaid Khan 8 (33m 29b 1x4 0x6) SR: 27.58

So a tough innings for Chandi comes to an end. Not sure he has ever opened in serious cricket, and this was against a highly skilled bowler. Speaking of highly skilled, here is Kumar Sangakkara

7.4

Junaid Khan to Sangakkara, no run, half shout first ball as this one seams in, but is sliding down leg

7.5

Junaid Khan to Sangakkara, no run, huge huge shout, and my word, that is close. Close to off, seaming in, hits him on the roll in front of off. That's plumb for me. But I think Steve Davis went with not out, because of the two sounds that came form the ball hitting both the pads

7.6

Junaid Khan to Sangakkara, OUT, never mind the lbw, this one has damaged the wood work. Sanga registers his first duck against Pakistan. This is a superb spell from Junaid. Similar delivery, but this time Sanga is stretching away from the body, and the ball squeezes in through the gap after pitching on a length, just outside off


9.1

Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, no run, and nearly a wicket. Mahela follows this outside off, the ball holds its line, beats the bat

9.2

Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, 2 runs, Class is class. Junaid tries the one-two trick, seams this in, and coolly Mahela clips this wide of mid-on

9.3

Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, no run, short of a length, well wide of of, Mahela has no problem leaving it alone

9.4

Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, no run, wide again, left alone by Jaya again

9.5

Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, no run, top delivery. Short of a length, closer to off. Surely this one is angled too much to seam away? No sir, this holds its line too. Mahela's bat is straight. A lesser batsman would have got a leading edge

9.6

Junaid Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, 2 runs, wide length ball, driven through cover

ah! just when I thought the rains have taken a break, they return just at the wrong time for Pakistan, and this season they won't go away so easily now.

Yes Zuhair, Steve Davies has had another bad day, SLN should have been 44/4 because Parnavitana was a dead duck to Umer Gul but was given not out.

Desperately hoping for the rains to go away, Pakistan deserve to keep their unbeaten run going... Highly unlikely that the rains will go though, lets hope for the best.

all right... bring on the rains! Wink

on a serious note, somehow some way, if Pakistan manage 320-330, a traget of 200-210 on day 5 here won't be easy, esp with rain around, the time to get those runs will also be a factor.
