Pakistan's fear of losing

The first test ended in a draw , it came to life in the final two sessions thanks to some reckless stroke play by the Sri Lankans but the final result was expected by everybody. Everybody and there dog is criticizing the curator for making such a flat pitch but Pakistan is lucky that they were provided a flat pitch because in a more bowler friendly pitch Pakistan would have a hard time winning especially with there rookie attack.
On the other hand Sri Lanka have a bowling attack that is suited for most conditions. Chaminda Vass was the only bowler who managed to consistently swing the ball. Dilhara hussled the batsmen with his pace and bounce which none of the Pakistani pace men were able to do. And despite being such a slow pitch Murali and Mendis bowled there hearts out and created oppurtunities. So I think in a more fair pitch Sri Lankans have more than a fair chance of winning.
