    The pitch was very fast, While its not good when you close enough match like that never minds Pakistan Go Go! in next match.

    While when people say bad decisions by Umpires, M.Yousuf got out twice but wasn't given so i guess the bad decisions are justified, and SL players read the pitch, they extracted the thing they wanted and it came true.

    Well Pakistan Lost the match because of their batting collapse today. One stage they were at 71/2 but all out for 117.

    Today morning they thought that this will be an easy win, sometimes most of batsman didn't care about responsibility, anything can be happened in cricket :)

    To me key points of the match:

    Younis Khan made a bad decision by electing to field first. He should have considered the very law average total in the fourth innings at Galle. It is a damn law average. Therefore, you can't blame the batsman specially coming after T20 world cup.

    However, I think Umar Gul is the real disappointment for Pakistan. On a seamer friendly wicket he has the worst figures from all the seamers from both teams.

    Even though SL won, their selectors will have some problems as Pakistanis because best performance comes from non-established players and Murali should comeback.

    During the presentation,Younis Khan said "everyone knows we are slow starters" , looks like he is expecting miracle again which happened at 2020 world cup.

    Yes and playing 4th innings is always tough anywhere and I think it was key moment of the match!

    There is some talking going on about four day test matches. What you guys think about this idea?
    I think it’s a good idea but need to prepare more bowler friendly pitches like in Galle :D.

    I think we should have 5 days test to get more and more results. If we have 4 day tests then we may get more draws then now.:D

    Well, it is difficult to disagree with you (someone with a reputation beyond repute :D)
    However, may be Bangladesh will have a chance to draw few test matches then. :D
    (Just joking, I expect them to be a better team soon)

    PAK in very bad situation in their 2 nd match. As Youniscan said they slow starters it means 90/10.
