Ashes 2009 : Freddie Flintoff does it again

2009-07-21T18:15:00.001-07:00

Four years ago Flintoff reached the pinnacle of his career by winning the Ashes for England. Now he is planning to go out on top by winning the Ashes again. Bruised, battered, triumphant Andrew Flintoff. One bad leg, another great home Test against Australia. Flintoff is on his way to going out in style.

He’s a man who, given the condition of his right knee, should be kept to five-over spells. Not interested, his mind says. After his fourth-ball removal of Brad Haddin, who was caught at second slip, he spoke at Andrew Strauss. “Just to let you know I’ll keep bowling until all the wickets are gone.” He did, taking 3 for 43 in ten overs and toasting himself by lunch. No weak link or cartilage here, just more tormenting of Australia.

“Just to let you know I’ll keep bowling until all the wickets are gone.” — This should worry the Aussies more than anything else. Flintoff wants the Ashes, and if his body and team support him a little he will get back the urn.

Bangladesh complete West Indies whitewash

2009-07-20T20:42:00.001-07:00

A stunning performance from the stand-in captain Shakib Al Hasan and brilliant innings from Rokibul Hasan led Bangladesh cricket to a historical moment by clinching the away test series 2-0 against West Indies.

Sakib's unbeaten 96 of 97 balls and rokib's 65 of 99 balls gave no chance to West Indies to fight against Bangladesh.

Sakib's five wicket haul in the second innings restricted West Indies only for 214 at the 1st session of fourth day.

"This is the best day for Bangladesh cricket. The guys have been supporting me very well so I don't feel any pressure. Raqibul played a gem of an innings. I thought attack was the best form of defense.", Sakib's reaction after the win.

Having more than 150 overs in hand to chase a silly target of 215 in the 4th innings, bangladesh top order frustrated once again leaving Bangladesh 67-4.

But 100 run partnership from middle order batsman rokib and captain sakib lead Bangladesh win the 2nd test by 4 wickets on the 4th day.

Winning the test match, Bangladesh sealed their first test series win in overseas.

Beating west indies in the first test Bangladesh won their first away match in the history of Bangladesh cricket.

Sakib judged for both Man of the Match and Man of the Series.

England’s Cricket Victory Over Australia at Lord’s a First in 75 Years

2009-07-20T20:40:00.001-07:00

History was going to be made either way Monday on the final day of the second five-day Ashes test between England and Australia at Lord’s ground.

England was aiming to end 75 years of futility against its oldest and most cherished rival on its most historic ground. Australia’s quest was to smash the record for the highest successful final innings run-chase in 132 years of test cricket.

Needing 522 — a record for a last innings — it had scored 313 runs for five wickets on Sunday.

England got what it wanted, and in the manner most fans would have asked for. Andrew Flintoff, a much-loved all-rounder who announced last week that he will retire from test cricket at the end of this five-match series, had a partisan crowd roaring as he charged in from the end dominated by Lord’s famous pavilion to wreck Australia’s hopes.

In his first over he ended the 185-run sixth wicket stand that had become a real threat to England’s hopes, inducing Brad Haddin to edge the ball to slip-fielder Paul Collingwood for 80.

Every ball bowled by Flintoff promised fresh drama as he threatened the wickets and the bodies of Australia’s batsmen, hitting Michael Clarke on the shoulder.

Flintoff bowled 10 six-ball overs unchanged, a marathon for a big man who has suffered endlessly with injury. He bowled tail-enders Nathan Hauritz and Peter Siddle to end with five wickets in his last test match at Lord’s.

That earns him a permanent entry on the ground’s honors board which lists such feats.

Clarke said Flintoff had bowled as well as anyone he had faced in his 49 test matches.

Flintoff found a fine, contrasting, bowling partner Graeme Swann. The spinner struck in his first over, removing Clarke for a magnificent 136. Swann ended the match when he bowled Mitchell Johnson, who had produced Australia’s best batting of the morning, for a well-struck and spirited 63.

It was all over in a little under two hours, the final margin in England’s favor 115 runs.

Australia fell short of its ultimate target but still recorded its own highest-ever final innings score and the best ever in a test match at Lord’s.

England’s first victory over Australia in eight matches means it leads the series, which it must win to reclaim the Ashes trophy, 1-0 with three games to go.

A contest between well-matched but fallible teams, neither as strong as when they last met in England four years ago, seems unlikely to be resolved before the final match at the Oval, London next month.

Ricky Ponting, the Australian captain, conceded that “England were much the better team and deserved to win. We were outplayed from the first ball until the end.”

He chose not to reiterate complaints about the dubious umpiring decisions that cost Australia three of its top four batsmen in the final innings.

The choice of Flintoff as Man of the Match was essentially sentimental, taking one of the few remaining opportunities to garland a national hero.

Andrew Strauss, the England captain, had set the tone for the victory from the start with his first-day innings of 161, batting his team into a dominant position that it never subsequently lost.

England’s concerns ahead of the next match in Birmingham, starting on July 30 are with the fitness of key players. Kevin Pietersen, the star batsman who missed much of the early season with an Achilles tendon problem, looked uncomfortable throughout and must be a doubt.

Flintoff was bullish about his chances of playing the remaining three matches, saying that while he had felt some pain while bowling, “I’ve played in discomfort for most of my career.”

Australia’s difficulties appear more fundamental. Its most experienced fast bowler Brett Lee is likely to return after missing the first two matches injured. What nobody would have predicted before the series started is that this could be at the expense of Johnson.

The left-armer from Queensland is probably the best No. 8 batsman in the world, but is failing in his primary task as spearhead of the fast bowling. Johnson conceded an average of more than five runs per over at Lord’s and his inaccuracy gave England flying starts in both innings.

Philip Hughes, the rookie opener, also has to find an answer to an apparent weakness against the fast short-pitched ball — Flintoff’s stock-in-trade — that gives him little scope for footwork. Here Australia has two difficulties — not wanting to inhibit a vividly original talent and the absence of a reserve top-order batsman in an eccentrically chosen tour squad.

2009-07-19T19:02:00.000-07:00

From the loungerooms of Launceston to the Long Room at Lord’s, no single issue has dominated discussion quite like Mitchell Johnson’s plummeting fortunes in England. The conquistador of South Africa has been reduced to an erratic, unreliable bit-part player this week, placing tremendous pressure on his fellow bowlers and greatly reducing Ricky Ponting’s options.

The world’s third-ranked bowler was the third best paceman in the Australian attack on Saturday, and a distant one at that. Too short, too wide and too easily dominated by England’s openers, Johnson left Ponting with few alternatives other than to withdraw him from the attack after just three overs in the hope Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus would prove less wasteful with the new ball.

Australia depend heavily on Mitchell Johnson to provide the breakthroughs. He is the only bowler in the Australian line up who can run through a batting line up. His bad form has been the main reason why England are in such a great position in the second test at Lord’s

Ashes 2009 : England dont enforce follow on

2009-07-19T18:52:00.000-07:00

England opted against enforcing the follow-on, despite closing out the Australian innings 10 runs shy of the target on the third morning of the second Test. Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook came out to bat in the second innings under clear skies with a 210-run lead behind them. Surely, the hosts will never have a better chance to end Australia’s proud 75-year unbeaten streak at Lord’s.

But I am not discounting the Aussies yet as the Aussies are known for making comebacks and the English are known for crumbling under sustained pressure from opposition.

Vaas Confirms Retirement, Pak Hope to Make Amends

2009-07-19T18:50:00.001-07:00

The agreement appears sealed. Chaminda Vaas will play the third and final Test against Pakistan in Colombo. But it will be his last.
Just prior to the start of the series, Vaas had denied speaking to the selectors about an impending retirement or of not wanting to play Test cricket anymore. But the announcement was not much different.
Vaas has confirmed that the final Test against Pakistan will be his final Test appearance although he intends to continue playing ODI’s and Twenty20 matches until the 2011 World Cup.
Meanwhile Kumar Sangakkara will be feeling the pleasant cushion of his team being 2-0 up on the visitors. Rangana Herath has created quite a name for himself in the absence of Muttiah Muralitharan and countering Ajantha Mendis’ lack of form. He will be expected to continue the trend.
Pakistan captain, Younis Khan, on the other hand, has a host of problems. Pakistan’s batting fell apart in three of the four Test innings and he has asked for more time with his team stating that a captain cannot be blamed because he cannot bat for all of them. He also cited the lack of cricket as a reason for Pakistan’s debacle. But there is experience in this team with Mohammad Yousuf and Fawad Alam made a fine century on debut in the second Test only for Pakistan to throw it away.
Pakistan will want to address a few issues while Sri Lanka would enjoy nothing more than continuing to strangle their visitors.

England And Australia Alternate Fortunes

2009-07-19T18:44:00.000-07:00

It is almost as if England were paying the price for getting wickets a little too cheaply. The honours of the day shifted from England to Australia as day four drew to a close at the second Test at Lord’s.
England would certainly not be feeling as comfortable as they did in the session before lunch or even tea. And the 521 target would not appear as a sufficient target for the Australia the way Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin batted in the final session after tea.

England are only five balls away from their first win in the Ashes of 2009. But between their last wicket and possibly the next, the time interval lapsed has been long and testing with no respite in sight.
Australia were perilously close to the end at 128 for five but that was in the session before tea. Thereafter, Clarke and Haddin stitched a valuable and more importantly unbeaten 185 run partnership for the sixth wicket that frustrated England captain Andrew Strauss and England no end. Clarke though had a valuable century to his name as Haddin did with his half century.
Earlier in the day, Australia began the day batting after England declared overnight on 311 for six. Andrew Flintoff won the battleagainst the Australian openers, Phillip Hughes and Simon Katich, but it was not without controversy.

Katich was dismissed off a delivery that clearly appeared to have been a no ball as Flintoff overstepped. Hughes was sent off by umpire Rudi Koertzen officiating in his 100th Test for a catch that appeared unclear, caught by Strauss.
But thereafter Graeme Swann effected two splendid wickets for England to feel vindicated about their efforts and their chances. Australian captain, Ricky Ponting, was bowled by Stuart Broad for thirty-eight and thereafter, Mike Hussey was caught by Paul Collingwood off Swann for twenty-seven runs. Marcus North made the day for Swann again after being bowled and Australia in deep trouble at 178 for five at tea.
The session thereafter belonged to the Australian batsmen altogether as their partnership not only denied England the opportunity to make further inroads but also, pushed Australia into the realm of thinking that if England could have a miracle at Cardiff in the first Test, they are not far from one, needing 209 runs with five wickets in hand.

WI Go About Setting Bangladesh Enticing Target

2009-07-19T18:39:00.000-07:00

It has been a topsy turvy Test match thus far with neither team in particular hurry to stamp their mark. And the outcome, therefore, continues to remain an intriguing mystery on the third day of the second Test at Grenada.
Kemar Roach was having the time of his life. His six wicket haul meant that Bangladesh did not get away from West Indies despite restricting them to 237, that too because of Travis Dowlin’s outstanding effort to get to ninety-five.
Bangladesh had plenty of fits and starts but none that went beyond Raqibul Hasan’s forty-four and Mushfiqur Rahim’s forty-eight. It helped Bangladesh recover from seven for 157 to 232 all out, just five runs short of West Indies’ first innings score.
What it meant that West Indies would have to significantly improve from their first innings batting if they were to bat Bangladesh out of the match.

Once again Dowlin was pressed into action, making forty-nine runs as Bangladesh’s stand in captain, Shakib Al Hasan for Mashrafe Mortaza, picked up four scalps. Enamul Haque Jr picked up the key wicket of Dowlin as well as that of Darren Sammy who partnered briefly with David Bernard, batting on his Test half century, that took West Indies from five for 110 to 166.
Bangladesh were unhappy over the West Indies’ running on the field as the match assumed tenseness. Rain intervened in the final over before tea, taking West Indies to 192 for eight,just two short of the 200 target with two wickets remaining.

Ashes 2009 : Careless Australia lose the plot

2009-07-18T19:16:00.001-07:00

Australia has been very careless in the second Ashes Test at Lords. Its 75-year unbeaten record at Lord’s is facing its greatest threat. Five of their batsmen fell to hook shots, they could have simply swayed out of the way. The bowlers have already let England get to a pretty good score.

Anderson turned in a performance befitting his recently-acquired mantle of England spearhead, maintaining a threatening line and swinging the ball just enough to create angst among the opposing batsmen. With Flintoff conceding runs at barely two-per-over at the other end, and Stuart Broad and Graham Onions constantly probing the outside edge, England created a pressurised atmosphere in which the Australians spectacularly cracked. The tourists lost six wickets for the addition of just 49 runs after tea, and must now hope for more of the rain periods that interrupted the second day’s play if they are to emerge from this match unscathed.

The teams seemed to have revered roles in this match. In the first test England was playing catch up all the time and in the second test its Australia’s turn to play catch up.

England tail enders batted brilliantly to help the home team to put up a target of 435 runs in their 1st Innings. Australians started their battle but lost one early wicket of Philip Hughes but the unbeaten stand between Katich and Ponting really holds the Day for the Aussies. Both the Aussies player scored a brilliant hundred and scored 249/1 at the end of Day 2. Aussies really looking strong and the way they have started the Ashes series is quite well. They need to continue this good partition and bat the whole day today to get past the England total and take a good lead.

Ashes 2009 : Lee out of the first test

2009-07-09T05:33:00.000-07:00

Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has been ruled out of the first Ashes test against the England starting from Wednesday due to side injury. Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris has confirmed in a press conference that Brett Lee will miss the series opener after the scan reports came in.

Kountouris also added that Lee will be doubtful for the second test to be plated at Lord’s as well.

Lee has performed amazingly in the warm-up matches being played against the England Lions in Worcester. Lee took six wickets for 76 runs, which proved he is back in his form and could be dangerous for the England if he was able to play.

“The scan revealed he has a small strain in one of his abdominal muscles - the internal oblique muscle,” Kountouris said. “It is not as bad as it could have been, so we are going to monitor it over the next couple of weeks.”

Asked if Lee would be fit for next week’s second Test at Lord’s, Kountouris added: “He is not out but the chances are slim.”

This injury was a bitter blow for Lee, Australia’s senior fast bowler on tour with 310 wickets from 76 Tests.

The 32-year-old Lee has not played a Test since December because of foot and heel injuries but his performance against Worcester appeared to have seen him win his ‘bowl-off’ with Stuart Clark for a pace berth alongside fellow quicks Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle.

Lee repeatedly stressed his disappointment at missing the series opener but insisted the injury was not as bad as it could have been.

“This is only a small obstacle put in front of me,” he told reporters. “If it was my ankle and something of a structural thing I would be a lot more concerned.”

Brett Lee is a major blow for the Aussies as they don’t have any of the experienced bowling attack in the squad. Lee is the only one with good experience of Ashes tour of England. So now Australia team will come with a new inexperienced bowling attack against the England in the Ashes opener.

Match Today : England v Australia, Ashes 09 1st npower Test, Cardiff : Day 2

2009-07-09T05:32:00.000-07:00

England started off the Ashes series by winning the toss and decided to bat first. Batsman have lived up to the team expectation and performed well on Day 1. England scored 336 for 7 with some good performances by Kevin Pietersen, Collingwood , Prior. In all a day that belongs to England but Aussies are not behind, they picked up early 2-wickets but England then stood up well with some good partnerships. All the main batsman are back in the pavilion so its only tail enders that are left. Aussies have to stop them for about 20-30 runs more and then have to bat full day to get past the total.

Ashes 2009 Cricket Series – Ashes Cricket 2009 Schedule, Team Info

2009-07-07T19:59:00.001-07:00

Ashes 2009 is drawing close and the itinerary for Ashes 2009 is 2009 ashes cricketannounced for the good news of Ashes followers.

The England and Wales Cricket Board, Chief Executive David Collier and Cricket Australia James Sutherland announced the Ashes 2009 schedule.

David Collier says in a statement, “already there is great expectations surrounding the nPower Test series (Ashes) which will follow the twenty20 World Championship in an exciting summer of cricket.”

Now that’s true! The 5 test Ashes series begins from July 8 2009 at the Sofia Gardens in Cardiff, the new stadium, and the second test will be at the Lords (this has been that way; very much conventional), the next at Edgbaston, the fourth at Headingley and the 5th at Oval will complete the Ashes series.

One cannot forget the Ashes 2005 as it still ticks my memories to be one of the fiercest cricketing battles I ever witnessed and England regained the Ashes with a 2-1 after 18 years. Remember Andrew Flintoff’s form in the series? The interest generated for Ashes from then on has been multiplying every year in England.

This year; however, Australia will be missing 3 biggies including Shane Warne (one cannot think of separating Ashes from this amazing spinner. Can you?), Glen McGrath and Adam Gilchrist (I am a big fan of this wonderful ambassador of the game).

2009 Ashes Series Schedule

1st Test (8 July -- 12 July) England vs Australia (SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff)

2nd Test (16 July -- 20 July) England vs Australia (Lord’s, London)

3rd Test (30 July -- 3 August) England vs Australia (Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham)

4th Test (7 August -- 11 August) England vs Australia (Headingley Stadium, Leeds)

5th Test (20 August -- 24 August) England vs Australia (The Oval, London)

2009-07-07T19:55:00.000-07:00

International cricket fans will celebrate the start of Ashes Test 2009 Series Tour of England once again. July 08 2009 is the day when Ashes 2009 Test Series will kick start at Cardiff England, but this time Australia team is minus the big brigade of Glen McGrath, Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist; so one can say that Australia is without their Ashes experienced players.

England has home advantage but is that enough to beat Australia? Because Ricky Ponting and men are hoping that the blend of youth and experience will help bring them the Ashes. The Australian team is more or less similar which won series against South Africa. How can anyone forget Marcus North and Phillip Hughes’ 100s on debuts? Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus will make good team with Mitchell Johnson for whom it is the first tour of Ashes. Although Brett Lee failed in the ICC T20, you can never discount his abilities, and so will be Stuart Clark. CA’s selection panel chairman, Andrew Hilditch remarked that the Ashes will continue to be exciting and that the young Australian squad will attempt to beat England in England.

Match Today - West Indies v India, 4th ODI, St Lucia

2009-07-04T23:20:00.000-07:00

It may have been a dismal World Twenty20 for India, but when it comes to one-dayers they have been unstoppable over the past year. MS Dhoni’s boys have strung together four comfortable series victories since the defeat in the Asia Cup final, and with plenty of ODIs coming up India will want to extend that winning sequence with a success on Sunday.

On the other hand, West Indies haven’t won a series against serious opposition in more than a year. To salvage this one, they need their pace spearhead Jerome Taylor to fire; in the absence of Fidel Edwards there’s more responsibility on Taylor, whose performances have mirrored West Indies’ fortunes in this series. Unless he and his pace-bowling colleagues provide the early breakthroughs, West Indies will have a tough time against the savage hitters in the Indian middle order.

Teams

India (probable) 1 Dinesh Karthik, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Rohit Sharma, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni, 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Abhishek Nayar, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Ashish Nehra, 11 Ishant Sharma

West Indies (probable) 1 Chris Gayle (capt), 2 Runako Morton, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Darren Bravo, 7 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 8 Jerome Taylor, 9 David Bernard, 10 Suleiman Benn, 11 Ravi Rampaul.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka : Umar Gul vs Tharanga Paranavitana

2009-07-04T23:19:00.000-07:00

Dhoni needs to bat like this : Dhoni 183 against Sri Lanka

2009-07-04T23:18:00.002-07:00

Dhoni plays an amazing innings of 183, his highest score in one day internationls. He needs to bat like this.

India vs West Indies : Dhoni finally wins a game for India

2009-07-04T23:18:00.001-07:00

Dhoni finally did well with the bat to win a game for India. But even in the third ODI against the West Indies he probably left it to the very end to hit the winning six, the game got a bit too close for comfort. India went into the final over needing 11 and Dhoni hit the second ball from Jerome Taylor over midwicket to leave India on course for victory. Had Dhoni not hit the six (he had hit only 2 boundaries prior to this) India would have been in tough spot.

Even I have been quite critical of Dhoni in the last couple of months, but he has began to play better. All is still not good, but things do look like improving.

India vs West Indies : Rain helps India

2009-07-04T23:15:00.000-07:00

Gary Kirsten, India’s coach, has credited India’s innings not being affected as much as by inclement weather as crucial to taking a series lead. West Indies innings began two hours late and was interrupted thrice due to rain, and further intervals initially readjusted India’s target to 195 in 27 overs before a further shower reduced it to 159 in 22 overs. In the end, thanks to MS Dhoni’s unbeaten hand, India won in the final over with six wickets in hand.

“It definitely helps a team batting second in this type of set up,” said Kirsten. “It did suit us to be batting second because you can dictate the game a little better when the overs are shortening in terms of what you need.”

Lee takes 5, seals Ashes spot

2009-07-03T01:50:00.001-07:00

Brett Lee picked up 5 wickets against England Lions while his fellow fast bowlers went wicketless, and thus sealed his place in the first Ashes Test atleast. While Brett Lee was out injured, Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle had surged ahead in team rankings. Only the third fast bowler slot was open and Brett Lee, Stuart Clark and Hilfenhaus the three main contenders for it. But this five wicket haul has pretty much sealed the place for Brett Lee.

“Without giving too much away, the plan was to scuff the ball up as quickly as possible when the ball goes flat in the middle overs,” Lee said. ”In a meeting before the game we tried to work out ways that we would bowl effectively in Cardiff, with the ball being scuffed up on that type of wicket. It took about four or five overs to get it going and they threw me the ball. That’s when I feel at my deadliest.”

The spell of sustained late movement, which included being on a hat-trick after he bowled Joe Denly and had Ian Bell lbw, reminded Lee’s team-mates of his performance in Antigua last year when he took 5 for 59. “When the ball is tailing in, it’s pretty hard to get the ball out of my hand,” Lee said. “You always feel like you’re in the game as a fast bowler. It did take me back to playing against West Indies, so it was fun times.”

Match Today - West Indies v India, 3rd ODI, St Lucia

2009-07-03T01:49:00.001-07:00

With the series tied at 1-1 and just one more match after today, both teams would want to get in front and ensure that they do not loose the series. The main problem for India has been that only Yuvraj has looked like scoring any runs, and others do not inspire so much confidence. India is sorely missing Sachin and Sehwag at the top of the order. It would also be a good time to give Nayar a chance at the international level. West Indies would again be banking on their fast bowlers to run through the Indian batting like they did in the second match.

Teams

India (probable): 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Dinesh Karthik, 3 Rohit Sharma, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Ravindra Jadeja/ Abhishek Nayar, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Ishant Sharma, 10 RP Singh, 11 Ashish Nehra.

West Indies (probable): 1 Chris Gayle (capt), 2 Runako Morton, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Darren Bravo, 7 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 8 Jerome Taylor, 9 Darren Sammy, 10 Suleiman Benn, 11 Ravi Rampaul.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka : First Test assignment for Sangakkara as Captain

2009-07-02T07:52:00.001-07:00

The test series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka starting from saturday would be the first Test series for Sangakkara as captain. He has been the senior player for Sri Lanka for some time now, and as a wicketkeeper plays a very active role in the decision making process during the game. So he should fit right in this new role as captain.

But there is one thing to be considered, that is his work load. He would be a batsman, a wicketkeeper and a captain. It can get a bit too much. Dhoni also plays the role of batsman, wicketkeeper and a captain, but India is not really dependent on Dhoni for runs. If scores he adds depth to the batting else there are other batsmen to do the job. But for Sri Lanka Sangakkara along with Jayawardene is the main batsman. Its true that Dilshan has been doing well in limited overs format, but in Tests Jayawardene and Sangakkara remain the top 2 batsmen. So it will be interesting to see how Sangakkara takes on this additional responsibility.

SLC XI v Pakistanis, Tour match, Colombo : Match Drawn

2009-07-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

SLC XI 354 for 5 dec (Thirimanne 116, Kapugedera 115, Tharanga 50) and 137 for 2 dec (Paranavitana 48, Tharanga 44) drew with Pakistanis 400 for 8 dec (Fawad Alam 83, Manzoor 83, Butt 82, Suraj 4-120) and 54 for 4)

With little chance of an out-and-out result and rain threatening to mar proceedings, SLC XI captain Thilina Kandamby gave Pakistan their best shot at a win in the tour game, declaring at 137 for 2 and setting the visitors a tempting target of 83. However, a mini-collapse which saw Pakistan lose 4 for 29 put an end to the possibility of an outright result.

The Pakistanis would no doubt have their team strategy in place ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, with Fawad Alam looking in good touch and Salman Butt’s welcome return to form. With both Mohammad Yousuf and Abdul Razzaq failing to impress, Fawad’s success gives Younis Khan a good selection dilemma.
