This is a test match which will go in history in a big way for two reasons.
1. Srilanka and Pakistan meet in atest after the attacks on Srilanka in Pakistan
2. Srilanka , the country is free from attacks of LTTE.
But Srilanka is struggling in the first test. SL starting withour Murali, which itself is a big blow, lost 2 quick wickets for 21 and thanks to poor feilding by Pakistan.
Md. Aamer had a dream debut, (spoiled only by his team mates who dropped 2 catches, to let SL off the hook) and is well supported by Abdur Rauf. Three of the main 4 bowlers are making their debut. The other debutant is willy spinner Saeed Ajmal , who has already created impact in ODI and T20s.
Lets hope SL si able to get its acts together to play well in the match at home...
