2nd Test Pak vs SL

Moin Khan effect runs large on Pak. Fawad Alam is in and Ijaz Butt’s son / grandson Salman is out. Rameez quotes Salman Ijaz Butt was kicked for the 2nd inning shot he played.

Q would be happy. Me and SP would watch him overjoyed from sidelines. Fawad Alam is in for his debut. Malik would open.

Younis Khan was smiling and before Ranil Abenayke could listen thank you for “have a good time” he ran away. Perhaps he saw furious media back home.

Sangakara comes in with unchanged team. Lets see if he has the same luck now.

No Razzaq, no Kaneria and no Butt. Guess Butt this days is a butt of jokes. Ijaz jokes, Salman jokes. Even the picture of Butt is laughter evoking. Angry old man. But why is he always angry ?

Rameez is trying explaining ouster of Butt.

SL dont have good commentators ? If Fernando isnt there then there is this lad Ranil Abenayke. He stinks. I would bet to hear Fernando than this Ranil guy. At least Ranjith has some knowledge and he is funny.

Why doesnt Pattaattu come to the commentary fold ? Or any other player recently retired? Why do we need 80s players blabber along ?

Another test kicks off. 36th between this 2 teams. Max SL have played against any country. By year end they would have played 32 Tests against India, lost 14 and won 5. 3-0 again in India.
