Poor Inzi couldnt break the record

 

[W63L35]

This is 3rd 50+ runs opening stand in 3 consecutive tests by Pak openers!!!

 

[UP]

keep bowling no balls plz

 

[sohaibsyed]

This is 3rd 50+ runs opening stand in 3 consecutive tests by Pak openers!!!

thats very promising

 

[Caved12]

Amazing start so far from Pakistan, lets hope one of these can continue for a big one.

what would be a decent total from your point of view?

 

[Zeenix]

Is the bowl keeping low. If thats the case then a sizable lead will be good enough. Lets hope the openers carry us long enough. Probably won't be easy for the new comer to adjust to the bounce

 

[MIG]

"tanvir was unplayable." VVS

and here is the link

Praising Pakistan’s bowling, he said, “Shoaib, Sami and Tanvir bowled really well. Personally speaking, I found Tanvir unplayable.

 

[Plasma]

Waise when was the last time we had a 50 Opening partnership

wasn't there one is the SA series?

 

[W63L35]

More appropriate how many times in the last 4 or 5 years

I knew what you meant.......

Let wait till these two get closer to 100 partnership!

 

[UP]

This is 3rd 50+ runs opening stand in 3 consecutive tests by Pak openers!!!

They should get gold medel for this achievment

 

[nikred]

anything above 250 is going to tough for india to chase.

Odd balls are......not too many though!

Good point!

Harby to bowl.....with a rough on outside off!

 

[Zeenix]

anything above 250 is going to tough for india to chase.

exactly. Now only if we manage in the range of 250 to 300, i think we would be fine.

 

[W63L35]

Harby's 1st ball for 4 by Butt!

 

[W63L35]

2nd ball for 4 leg byes!

 

[Plasma]

bhaji goes for 4 first ball

 

[UP]

[Zeenix]

Boy. The openers should continue as long as they can bat positively. Just make sure you get out on Good Bowls.

 

[sohaibsyed]

wow good start for pakistan vs harbajan

 

[W63L35]

Lead by 16!

 

[UP]

4 more leg byes

 

[Zeenix]

Waise why does cricinfo stop when Pakistanis are in a good position.

 

[W63L35]

Waise why does cricinfo stop when Pakistanis are in a good position.

I have been on their US server, it is fine!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Cricinfo hangs cuz it is not used to display good score for pak team.this is pak team fault not cricinfo fault

 

[Hash]

First hour after lunch has belonged ENTIRELY to Pakistan

 

[purplehaze]

Strong comeback by Pakistan in this match! This is going to be one heck of test match it seems.
Tough to predict who has upper hand since both team has amazing skills to convert 120/1 into 165/7 in just no time

 

[kablooee87]

Alright. It's time to make it count. Drive home to advantage.
