Could've been very interesting...

Wasn't meant to be I suppose. Another poor series for Sri Lanka. Painful times for a supporter!

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Misbah Ul Haq would have never taken a chance because Pakistan can get odd collapse while chasing in four innings like test in Sri Lanka, Sydney Test etc.

So hats off to Misbah and his troops, Pakistan won against top test team after a while.

I see SL team not mentally strong there is some sort of disunity or something going on in Sri Lanka's camp. Maybe players are not happy with Dilshan being captain etc but there is something wrong in the camp.

Yes, well done to Pakistan they easily outplayed Sri Lanka the whole series. Sri Lanka had the responsibility to force the pace in attempt to win the match and level the series and didn't do so.

Sri Lanka does seem a disrupted team. I won't speculate too much though. I'd like to see a better performance in future but the last few series suggest it's going to be a while.

I agree, I never saw this in Sri Lankan side and always thought they were very united. I would say ever since Sangakarra stepped down this has been the case.

It is a team in transition. Sangakkara stepping down as captain can't be the sole cause, but it certainly wasn't the best of timing with the retirement of our most successful bowler.

Dilshan comes across as someone with similar a character to Afridi and Pieterson, so gifted and mindnumbingly brilliant to watch but capable of doing something completely stupid and ignorant. The antics with misbah were a prime example lol. Not great leadership qualities the next captain should come from the good crop of youngsters Mathews looks a top cricketer but maybe to early for him, Also filling the huge void left by Murali would devastate most teams.
