[*sallu*]

Carry on boys

 

[MRSN]

go for the kill boys play aggressive ....go for victory not draw

 

[SAF]

Need to put up a good lead by the end of today and then give them a lead of some 370is by tomorrow's lunch.--only way we can win.

 

[Sledger]

Need to see off the new ball (even though it hasn't done so much) then there should be centuries in this wicket for , and if they apply themselves.

Very flat track tbh, bit of an odd decision as NZ need to win this game.

 

[saeed-sohail]

I am back guys.Did not even check the score on cricinfo today.Look forward to play after lunch.

 

[Pak4Ev3r]

According to forecast it will rain next 2 days day 4 and 5:3dtard3:

 

[AZ]

both batsmen looking good, need to cash in big time.

 

[Pak4Ev3r]

Younis Should play Aggressive = Make 4 -5 every over Misbah can stay we got Asad Shafiq to go with Misbah anyway

 

[karachiite]

209/3 looks so good. Not used to seeing scores like that from Pak.

 

[TigerJat]

209/3 looks so good. Not used to seeing scores like that from Pak.

remember who we are playing, their bowling attack is worse than ours

 

[nads_rocks]

I'm still expecting either Younis or Misbah or both to score a century today, we need to get the total towards 430-470, lets hope Asad and Adnan can make some big scores of 60 odd or so.

Both batsman are now settled and are going at a good pace atleast rotating the strike more, so hoping it continues after lunch

 

[*sallu*]

To be honest, this is a 500 wicket, if not more

Score 600 if we can and get New Zealand in and hope for a miracle on day 5

 

[ZAK]
