Pakistan v Sri Lanka, 2nd Test, Dubai (DSC), 26-30 October, 2011

So nobody cares?

Paksters ripping through the Lankans before lunch. SL 5-95 but Sanga is still there on 36*.

Huh! Nutso man. Nuts.

Lankans 127/6.

WTF has happened to their batting in the last couple of months??

Another one goes. SL 6-127.

Sanga still there on 58* but into the tail now.

Chuck was clearly holding the innings together.

since murali retired the lankans average 36.73 with the bat and 46.83 with the ball

they have lost 3 out of 13 matches, which is not a terrible percentage. but they have never been in a position to force a win thanks to their bowling

just as a comparison since murali's retirement lanka's batting average is the 3rd highest after england and south africa. their bowling average though is the worst, including bangladesh and zimbabwe

Lankans 8-171, Sanga gone for 78. Carnage.

Shouldn't the thread title be "Pakistan v Kumar Sangakkara, 2nd Test"?

They said during the last test that Sanga averaged 40 as a keeper and 70+ without the gloves.

So Sanga>BCL>SRT

I don't think Sanga is a long way behind those two, actually.

Bit of a wag for the 9th wicket between the royal child murderer and someone who sounds like he is auditioning for an early Rock n Roll role ....

but not losing a wicket, Pakistan well in control after Day 1.

Good effort by Wally Gedera to almost make 50 at no. 10 to help the Lankans to a semi-reasonable 239. Wackies 2-90 in response.

Aye. Thought they'd be dusted for 170. Decent effort. My man Dhammika took out the openers but now looks like my man Azhar Ali is now in control.

Yeah, Azhar and Younis going well. 2-132.

Danny's man pulls it off - His first test century.

You must be so proud of Azhar.
