1st Test: Sri Lanka v Pakistan at Galle Aug 6-10, 2014

[TheParraboy]

Starts 2.30pm AEST This Wednesday. 2nd and final test start 14th August.

No doubt Lehmann, Clarke and co. will be interested observers of this series, Particularly keeping an eye on Pakistan, who Australia play in 2 tests in Dubai in October.

Sanga and Jayawardene are nearing the end
Can't help but feel Sri Lanka will be on their way down after that.

 

[TheParraboy]

Is this their last test series?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I think Jawardene is retiring. I'd say Sangakarra has a couple of years left in him.

[TheParraboy]

game heading for a draw

Pak 451 and 1/4
SL 9/533dec.

Sanga what a player 221, you know we talk of Tendulkar, Lara, Ponting, Kallis but Sanga is right up there for mine. Turning 37 in October and unlike the greats mentioned (kallis aside), keeps getting better with age

Mathews continues his batting form with 91

 

[Panther_Daz]

Set for an exciting finish! SL need two more wickets to set up a run chase late on Day 5.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Target 99 in 21 overs.
I hope they go for it

 

[Panther_Daz]

Definitely are going for it. 0/18 off 3.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Pakistan wasting as much time as possible as the rain edges closer.

 

[Victorious Secret]

They chase it down in 16.2 overs. Fantastic win
