Both Srilanka and Pak batting line-up are not strong. Pak has only Butt and SriLanka has only Sangakara who can score in any condition. Both team batsman are weak against quality fast bowling. SriLanka should play with 7 specialist batsman including Sangakara. Pakis are best against spin. More spinners in opposing team and Pak will score good runs.
congrats pakistan.. see how pak.plyers handled mendis.. indian players can't play against his bowling,,you can see this time... take tips from pak.how to tackle mendis?

No harm in your congratulating Pakistan Cricket Team.
But it seems that your memory is short. It is only the oldies from Team India who failed in tests against 2 "M"s in the last tour. Sehwag made a double century in the second test.
But the ODI series was won 3-2 by Dhoni and his youth brigade.
This time around I doubt the outcome of the series, because there is an odd man out included in Team India, one who is self centred and not team oriented.
I am writing this to just record an observation made by me. I am not passing any comments or judgement on the matter per se.
Though Indian Govt. has refused permission to BCCI to send an Indian team to Pakistan because of the prevailing circumstances, there was live coverage of a match involving Pakistan, telecast in India by Ten Sports.
During the match, replays were sponsored by Tata Sky although Tatas' Taj bore the brunt of terrorist attack on 26/11.
I also saw ads by Maruti Suzuki.
However I do not remember if there were other ads too (perhaps there was one by Asian Paints for their APEX paints) by Indian companies, since on the one hand we had power cut in our place (Hyderabad, India) for quite some time and then the match itself was such a bore inspite of being an ODI, that too a day night affair.
The quality of play from both teams was dismal and the quality of commentary was the worst that I have come across in several years.
This time Butt got a century and Pakis won the match. Pakis don't have good batting/bowling lineup. As we can see Iftikhar got wickets not on his efforts, but luck. Akthar and Afridi are 100% waste. In batting only hope is Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis.The problem is that Lankan team is tired by tight schedules. Mendis and Murali are capable to take 5 wickets each. And an in form Jayasurya will murder the Paki bowling.

There are many Indians with a Paki mindset dude!!!!!! The frequent terror attacks feed on these Indian Pakis.
