Some lucky edges going for four

Facing Swann and Broad for most of his innings

Has Malik done enough to get another chance.
 
I think Strauss might not enforce it, don't think he does it a lot.
 
I think Salman Butt needs to retract his statement about Australia being the best team in the world. It has to be England now!
 
The only reason I'm actually watching this match is to watch Aamer while he's hot. It won't be long before his career is ruined by the PCB. Enjoy him while you can...............
 
just 47 more to avoid follow on ... pakistan need to go for their shots ... 4 or 5 good overs for amer can do it ... danish kaneria has also been batting a bit .. lately
 
damn it...just play some shots, get 30 runs and get out ...just don't hang around in there for nothing.
 
I think if we follow on and survive the rest of today, tomorrow might be a little easier for batting seen as though the forcast is for 'sunny intervals'.
 
Wish we can get close to 150ish, but also get the follow on, and then some how score 400.
 
Aamer goes, good knock. :14:

If we can get 40 odd runs from the sloggers, then bat make 350, we will have a slim chance of winning by bowling out England for around 150.
 
:pissed:

our batting line-up is worst than any team (including kenya team)

No need of akmal brothers in team now , send them home:po:

That is very very very optimistic of you Boi, I like! :ibutt
 
hmmmmm ... amer goes... but well played mohammed amer .... did the best you could ... if only the top batsmen would stick around
 
Lets stop living in la la land..our batting line up can't score 300..and people are thinking about 400..i m not trying to pessimistic..but just a realist
 
I think following on wouldn't be too bad. Sun's out tomorrow get a lead put england under pressure bowling last. (I've got to stop dreaming)!

haha , you are still looking pakistan to win this match :))) never bro
 
Haha. Aamer second best scorer for us this innings! Kamran Akmal is in the team for his batting?
 
We YK and MOYO otherwise we will lose this series 4-0.

The bowlers did it against Aussies. They cant do it all the time...

Malik, Amin have to go.... :yk:moyo
 
We must get 45 runs more, and hope that they enforce the follow-on on us.
 
Honestly, if we bowled again, we would lose for sure.

but if we get to follow on, there's still a chance, as who knows, maybe we'll score 400
 
Do you really want them to hurt themselves bowling everyday. this is unfair to our bowlers.

Im hoping Strauss will force follow on, that way our bowlers will get some rest. The match is already lost, innings defeat is on the card.
 
this is exactly like our first innings in the first test against AUS. Difference was Afridi short cameo.
 
Strauss will most likely bat again just to rub it in and make the out bowlers do some more work.
 
If Strauss is smart he wouldnt enforce the follow on and make us bowl again, that way he's impacting things beyond this match, in case one of our bowlers gets hurt.
 
I think if we follow on and survive the rest of today, tomorrow might be a little easier for batting seen as though the forcast is for 'sunny intervals'.
Strauss aint stupid. England will bat tonight and tomorrow and demoralise our team further. He knows they ALREADY have enough on the board to win by an innings. So more batting practice, tiring our bowlers and wearing the pitch further is the best plan. And of course, why not give his bowlers a rest.

If he enforces the follow on, he's stupid. And he aint stupid.

I guarantee we will not avoid Follow On ...Pakistan will throw their last two wickets just shy of the mark if not sooner.
