2nd Test: Pakistan v Sri Lanka at Karachi, Dec 19-23 2019

[TheParraboy]

For those keen observers amongst you, start time is 4pm same as the recent Perth test
Some test cricket to wet the appetite before the boxing day test

1st test was a draw due to rain, and was terribly cold as well
but should get the full 5 days in here if required tops of 24c-25c throughout

 

[Mr Angry]

I hope the Pakistani people show up and enjoy what is just a game.
