Your thoughts and comments........

THis should be a good series because it will show how Pak. rebound from a down series and how they plan to work their rotation system, also for bowlers to step up with Shoaib gone.

I have made the test series one on the test forum. yes, we should see how pakistan rebound from their loss against india, and if pakistan win it will be good for their morale. i also think they should include that left arm fast bowler from the under-19's and shoult test him as we need a left arm seamer i think. i think pakistan should go with a full strong team in all games to boost morale.
anyone know which channel will be convering this whole series

I believe pakistan will win this one. Sri Lanka hasnt been in the best shape recently. The loss to Bangladesh must have donw the damage also. Pakistan, on the other hand, have been doing well excepting only to the one-day series with India. I think Pakistan right now is a much stronger team than Sri Lanka and will win this series comfortably.

Pakistans ODI form hasn't been brilliant so far but I feel that SL can't put a string of great performances together at the moment. I think the series will go 2-1 in Pakistans favour with SL smashing one huge innings in there somewhere.

I agree VRock Sri Lanka seem to be able to hit one big innings at series but the rest of the games they are usually quite poor with the bat unless Jayasuria goes ballistic within the first 10 overs and the rest of the class batsman like Sangakarra, Jayawardena, Attaputtu bat well later in the innings. Pakistan 2 - 1 for me too

Definately Pak, they are a much stronger outfit all in all and have a much more varied attack then srilanka, we all kno what happens to Sri lanka when either jaysuria or muruli dont fire!!!

Shoaib Malik
Shahid Afridi
Abdul Razzaq
Rana Naved
Rao Iftikar Anjum
