Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

[Pak_cricketer]

Younis and Yousuf Should be Aiming fro 200's, they have done it before if I remember correctly, In a Test Between Pakistan and India, Younis made 199, and Yousuf made 100+.

And that was after India made 400+ remember, so Pakistan have a fair chace, to draw that is.

We can win, you never know when our bowlers Realize how to bowl

Tommorows the 3rd day, Pakistan will be looking to get to 500, looking at the current position that is very Likely. Than We have 2 Days to Decide where this Test match can go.

I thought Yousuf played really well yesterday. I hope England can get him out quickly today and make inroads into the Pakistan middle order.

Is it me or did we just get Yousuf out and not appeal?

Damn I overslept! Looks like I havn't missed too much though.

How did we get him out? Why didn't we appeal?

As Ian Botham is saying, we just need 1 more wicket to get Inzi in, and then we are definatley capable of wrapping up the rest.

I'm still backing Pakistan to get a lead though.

It was Harmison sending one down the legside and Yousuf possibly gloving it. There was no appeal from Read and a stifled one from Harmison although the replay was pretty inconclusive and snicko showed that it possibly just brushed the glove.

Given the umpires performances in this game, I doubt they would have even thought about giving it out anyway.

Well he should've gone LBW to Hoggard, hitting middle to top of leg stump looked plumb first time I saw it, oh well we got lucky on Friday, just so annoying.

 

[barmyarmy]

Yup, not complaining. Just recording it so Pakistan fans can't claim that all the decisions went against them.
Really think they should have had 3 slips in for that edge a minute ago. If you're not going to have 3 with the new ball and a 200 run lead when are you going to have them?

 

[Sureshot]

Would it have carried?

Got the GP on atm. Flicking between breaks.

 

[evertonfan]

Why did Steve Harmison insist on bowling short all the damn time? It didn't work well for Pakistan so it won't work too well for him either.

Lunch on Day 3, and I still think Pakistan are going to get a lead of about 50.

 

[Sureshot]

Steve gets Yousuf with a short ball! How ironic.

You aren't having a go at me there are you?

Pakistan can win this game now, and I think a Pakistan win or a draw will be the eventual outcome of this match. If this pitch stays like this then we should be able to hold on for a draw.

By the way, what does Daryl Hair's index finger look like?

EDIT: It's a shame Mahmood can't bowl as well as he throws. I had a feleign that the only way to get Khan out would be a run out.

I'm still favouring Pakistan here and I reckon Akmal and Inzi will join the 100 club.

 

[barmyarmy]

4 wickets - 2 runouts! Seems like it was Inzi's fault (again!)

Now hopefully we've got an end we can bowl at. You feel there's a psychological block when it comes to getting the big three out.
