Pakistan's manager in Sri Lanka, has denied reports that the players were "approached by suspicious characters" at their team hotel during the two Colombo Tests earlier this month. Saeed was quoted by Express, an Urdu daily, saying that some of the players had complained to him about the presence of undesirable people in the team hotel.
"No such thing happened," Saeed told Cricinfo. "There are usually many other guests at the hotel, who want autographs and photographs with the players, and then maybe invite them for a coffee or something. I just instructed the players not to go out with people they didn't know from before. And that is the usual protocol."
The Express had quoted Saeed as saying: "Yes we were told by some of the players that a few suspicious people approached them during the Colombo Tests. We lodged a complaint with the hotel management, and they immediately shifted all of us to another floor of the hotel."
One of the players confirmed to Cricinfo that some of them were indeed approached in the team hotel by "a few undesirable elements" who invited them for tea and dinner. "The players refused and informed the team management," he said.
According to team sources, the players were invited by individuals who claimed to be fans. The team then shifted to another floor in the same hotel after they found that these "fans" were on the same floor as the players, the sources said. Saeed, however, said that nobody in the team had changed their rooms, let alone the floor.
Meanwhile Younis Khan, the Pakistan captain, told Geo TV, "No bookie has approached me. If ever one does, I will catch him and hand him over to ICC because these people have destroyed the game."
The PCB also refrained from making any allegations. "It is premature for us to make a comment. We will wait for the manager's report on the whole issue and then make a comment on it," Saleem Altaf, the board's chief operating officer, told PTI.

i hope he does it now or never because he did the same in test not replaced 2 players misbah and shoaib and lost series. atleast misbah must be replaced give chance umar akmal if he fails shoaib malik should come back.
fawad alam is good player but some times he got stuck in the crease and it is his downfall and he dont have big shot too he should be replaced
my suggestion to PCT attack to kulasakra bring him from 1st over on back foot it will make life difficult for sri lanka and dont get stucked in the craese keep getting singles against these bowlers so they cant work us out. mohammad yousuf,shaoib malik got out in today beacuse they got stucked in craese they are worked out by kulasakra i still believe mohammad yousuf if applies him self on the craese thushara and kulasakra are bunnies for him i hope younis is listening to us

Sri Lanka innings (50 overs maximum) R M B 4s 6s SR
WU Tharanga c †Kamran Akmal b Abdul Razzaq 17 55 44 1 0 38.63
11.4 finally Tharanga's troubled stay comes to an end, he had played and missed many times already and this time he gets the edge, a length ball just outside off, a thin edge through to the keeper 45/2
ST Jayasuriya c Mohammad Aamer b Umar Gul 15 38 19 1 0 78.94
8.2 Gul strikes with his second delivery, Jayasuriya is gone, not the greatest of deliveries, short and wide, Jayasuriya has both feet off the ground as he cuts the ball, a bit of a top edge, straight to Mohammad Aamer at third man 31/1
KC Sangakkara*† c Shahid Afridi b Saeed Ajmal 36 62 40 3 0 90.00
21.2 Sangakkara holes out to point, huge wicket for Ajmal, slower through the air and gets some turn there, Sangakkara looked to cut it over the infield but ends up giving an easy catch to Afridi 93/3
DPMD Jayawardene run out (Younis Khan/†Kamran Akmal) 33 88 56 1 0 58.92
33.2 from Abdul Razzaq, is that a run-out? Jayawardene was in trouble as he was coming back for the second, he's well out of his ground, but it remains to be seen whether the keeper has the ball in his hand as he broke the stumps, after several replays the third umpire is satisfied Akmal had the ball in his gloves and Jayawardene has to go, there was never two runs in that, the ball had barely made it past the inner circle near midwicket, Younis was onto it quickly and threw it to the right end, the keepers, and Sri Lanka are in big trouble now 131/6
CK Kapugedera c †Kamran Akmal b Shahid Afridi 8 13 18 0 0 44.44
26.1 Afridi strikes, Kapugedera drives away from his body at a length ball outside off, results in an outside edge which Akmal collects gleefully 106/4
TT Samaraweera c Younis Khan b Abdul Razzaq 10 18 19 1 0 52.63
31.4 Samaraweera departs to a shot he wouldn't like to look at again, it was wide outside off and he looked to pull that one, was a bit early into the shot and spoons it to Younis at mid-on 125/5
AD Mathews c & b Mohammad Aamer 43 69 50 3 0 86.00
47.1 Mathews' innings comes to an end, caught and bowled, he was too early into his shot and only managed to lob it back to the bowler Aamer, who juggled it a few times before hanging on 204/8
KMDN Kulasekara c Abdul Razzaq b Mohammad Aamer 16 43 33 1 0 48.48
44.3 Kulasekara departs as Razzaq hangs on to a skier, the batsman was looking to clear mid-off for a boundary, the ball goes high towards extra cover, Razzaq dropped a similar one earlier in the day but doesn't blow it this time 173/7
M Muralitharan b Mohammad Aamer 32 24 15 4 1 213.33
49.1 Aamer ends the Murali show with a yorker which hits the base of offstump, Aamer has kept his head despite the glut of runs, good work from the youngster 223/9

Kamran Akmal† b Thushara 20 41 26 4 0 76.92
9.1 he strikes first ball, Akmal is cleaned up, no footwork at all from Akmal, back of a length ball, the batsman is stuck on the crease and the ball sneaks between bat and pad to crash into middle and off stumps 41/2
Shoaib Malik b Kulasekara 9 29 19 1 0 47.36
6.5 Kulasekara finally gets rid of Malik, who has looked completely out of touch here, this was just short of a length, pitching on off and holding it's line, Malik was look for the inward movement, the ball takes the off bail 29/1
Shahid Afridi c †Sangakkara b Thushara 27 50 28 1 1 96.42
16.3 an awful shot to get out, Afridi had looked in good touch till then, short and wide, Afridi has to reach across as he looks to dab it towards slip, can only feather it through to the keeper, Rameez Raja points out on TV that we would have praised it as a cheeky shot if he had pulled it off 73/4
Mohammad Yousuf c †Sangakkara b Kulasekara 4 9 10 1 0 40.00
10.6 he's a goner this time, length ball outside off, moving away from Yousuf, who flirts with it and gets a nick to the keeper, superb spell of bowling from Kulasekara 48/3
Younis Khan* c Mathews b Thushara 12 37 23 1 0 52.17
18.3 Younis Khan joins the procession, Sri Lanka are well on top here, a short and wide delivery gets the wicket again, Younis cuts it straight to third man 78/5
Misbah-ul-Haq c & b Muralitharan 9 37 23 0 0 39.13
25.5 another soft dismissal, Misbah's gone this time just as Pakistan seemed to be re-building, straighter one does the trick, pitched on a length just outside leg, Misbah looked to slip it to the leg side, gets a leading edge which lobs back to the bowler 95/6
Fawad Alam c †Sangakkara b Jayasuriya 31 69 58 2 0 53.44
36.4 arm ball from Jayasuriya does the job, Fawad is gone, he was on the front foot trying to push that to the off side, nicks it to the keeper, and that could well be the end of Pakistan's chances 134/7
Abdul Razzaq lbw b Muralitharan 17 44 35 1 0 48.57
37.2 Murali strikes with the second ball of this spell, pitching on middle and off and turning in, Razzaq was caught on the back foot looking to turn the ball towards the leg side, no doubt about that one 134/8
Umar Gul b Malinga 33 45 21 6 0 157.14
44.4 that's the end of that, Malinga gets the perfect yorker on middle and leg, Gul misses, the stumps are shattered, Sri Lanka are 1-0 up in this series 196/10
Mohammad Aamer run out (Jayawardene) 23 39 26 2 0 88.46
44.3 from Malinga, Aamer jabs a fullish delivery to backward point and is run out, Jayawardene has done the job for Sri Lanka, the bowlers were struggling to break the partnership, but Jayawardene throws down the stumps at the bowler's end with a direct hit, Aamer forgets to drag his bat into the crease and that error means he doesn't make his ground, he has to go 196/9

Abdul Razzaq lbw b Muralitharan 17 44 35 1 0 48.57
37.2 Murali strikes with the second ball of this spell, pitching on middle and off and turning in, Razzaq was caught on the back foot looking to turn the ball towards the leg side, no doubt about that one 134/8
Umar Gul b Malinga 33 45 21 6 0 157.14
44.4 that's the end of that, Malinga gets the perfect yorker on middle and leg, Gul misses, the stumps are shattered, Sri Lanka are 1-0 up in this series 196/10
Mohammad Aamer run out (Jayawardene) 23 39 26 2 0 88.46
44.3 from Malinga, Aamer jabs a fullish delivery to backward point and is run out, Jayawardene has done the job for Sri Lanka, the bowlers were struggling to break the partnership, but Jayawardene throws down the stumps at the bowler's end with a direct hit, Aamer forgets to drag his bat into the crease and that error means he doesn't make his ground, he has to go 196/9

Bowling O M R W Econ
KMDN Kulasekara 7 1 30 2 4.28
6.5 to Shoaib Malik, Kulasekara finally gets rid of Malik, who has looked completely out of touch here, this was just short of a length, pitching on off and holding it's line, Malik was look for the inward movement, the ball takes the off bail 29/1
10.6 to Mohammad Yousuf, he's a goner this time, length ball outside off, moving away from Yousuf, who flirts with it and gets a nick to the keeper, superb spell of bowling from Kulasekara 48/3
SL Malinga 8.4 0 50 1 5.76 (1nb, 2w)
44.4 to Umar Gul, that's the end of that, Malinga gets the perfect yorker on middle and leg, Gul misses, the stumps are shattered, Sri Lanka are 1-0 up in this series 196/10
T Thushara 8 0 29 3 3.62 (2w)
9.1 to Kamran Akmal, he strikes first ball, Akmal is cleaned up, no footwork at all from Akmal, back of a length ball, the batsman is stuck on the crease and the ball sneaks between bat and pad to crash into middle and off stumps 41/2
16.3 to Shahid Afridi, an awful shot to get out, Afridi had looked in good touch till then, short and wide, Afridi has to reach across as he looks to dab it towards slip, can only feather it through to the keeper, Rameez Raja points out on TV that we would have praised it as a cheeky shot if he had pulled it off 73/4
18.3 to Younis Khan, Younis Khan joins the procession, Sri Lanka are well on top here, a short and wide delivery gets the wicket again, Younis cuts it straight to third man 78/5
M Muralitharan 10 0 46 2 4.60
25.5 to Misbah-ul-Haq, another soft dismissal, Misbah's gone this time just as Pakistan seemed to be re-building, straighter one does the trick, pitched on a length just outside leg, Misbah looked to slip it to the leg side, gets a leading edge which lobs back to the bowler 95/6
37.2 to Abdul Razzaq, Murali strikes with the second ball of this spell, pitching on middle and off and turning in, Razzaq was caught on the back foot looking to turn the ball towards the leg side, no doubt about that one 134/8

Shoaib Malik should be drop for second one day and a proper opener should be brought in (young blood) 
Shahid Afridi is better at one down.

the weirdest thing is our bowlers, our tail enders have scored maximum runs in both the ODIs, and how shamefully our so called professional batsman have fallen like a pack of card yet another time. completely insane man completely insane!!. looks like intekhaab alam and aaqib are not going a good job. there's a lack of team spirit too.
