Foot in the mouth for the blogger

Yesterday, yours truly had said that Rangana Herath was not a problem for the Pakistanis and that Dilshan keeping wickets could mean opportunities lost.

But guess what, Herath read my blog and decided," fuck you Prafs- i'll show you and them pakistanis.. don't you make fun of chubby left arm spinners."
then he went and took carrer best figures of 4-15, dismissing Moyo early in the morning with an arm ball. then striking at regular intervals
Thilan Tushara was just amazing. Dr. Death Vaas might not be all that chuffed though.
Dilshan, i must admit was incredible for a part time keeper.

Pakistan's batting was comical at times, especially Butt's brain freeze under pressure. Misbah and Moyo may actually be playing some sorta competition involving running themselves out at wrongest of times possible.
So there you have it, a defeat for Pakistan, which is beyond teams with lesser talent.
Sri Lanka though, deserve credit for bowling great lines and lengths.
alright then!
Test matches are here and i'm lovin it.

he still can be the player who will have to make way for murli...

Prafs said...

yeah, SP,
its tough for spinners in SL.
mendis hasn't been all that effective against pak, but i doubt they'll choose herath above him.

Sam said...

i believe kulasekra shud make way for murali.

Prafs said...

but i think he did well in the first innings sam. dropping the fella would be a bit too harsh.

but i guess it makes sense if matthews and tushara could use the new ball and then... its the spinners show.

doesn't seem likely though.

I made a mistake too by giving advice to the Sri Lankan team BEFORE they won the match. :-(

What a match! Surely not for those weak at heart.

Prafs said...

krish,
i've decided now, only match reviews, no more mid match opinions!

NC,
NO BAGGING CHUBBY LEFT ARM SPINNERS!
btw, that well oiled look oozes class... and oil

Som,
especially if you're a weak hearted Pakistani fan
