I think Inzi will miss his 100 and he has himself to blame because he did not take most of the strike.

Inzi doesn't care about personal milestones unlike Mr Tendulkar. He is a team man.

 

[badxhah]

i cant belive the comments here callin inzy gutlless and shud go for the kill come on this Test cricket first u shud play it safe protect ur one - nill lead then think abt other things.
I dont care if inzy take another 20000 balls to get to 100 as long the game is saved

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hopefully that ice on his knee was only precautionary and isnt anything serious however inzi is limping and he shouldnt take any chances with if he doens think he can imo

I hope Inzi's injury is not serious. we cant lose him for Lahore test specially when Afridi is banned

 

[deviously~fading~away]

The lack of cricketing knowledge on this forum in recent times has really dissapointed me

I agree, why cant people understand here. There is no way England can chase down the target now! Its either a draw or pak win. Akhtar,naved have to remove 1 of the openers early to put pressure on England!

 

[Raz]

What defense from Kaneria!!!

 

[kasoo10]

Difference between draw and Pakistan's victory in this match was The Beast getting out without scoring. He would have made a huge difference if he had stayed.

 

[Raz]

Kaneria's got a new helmet.

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 runs for kaneria

lead 262

 

[Cartman]

i disagree when u say pakistan canot bowl out england.. its going to be tough but you never know.. 60 overs approx and a few quick wickets initially and the game is on. this is still a day 5 pitch, no matter how flat its playing.. it does behave oddly at times.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

risky 2 runs taken by a good drive that kaneria prolly surprised himself with

Pakistan won't even be able to bowl out Zim in the time remaining.

 

[Raz]

Shot Kaneria for 2!

bhai the game is saved now. 260 is more than enough on 5th day track with the time left.

plus we wasted so many balls and time when Sami played like 33 balls for 5 runs. in that time and balls Inzi wud have made at least 15-20 runs

nice shot

i dont think match is over either but pakistan imo have saved the match for themselves now and should give them selves as much time as they can to get at englands batting lineup

 

[Jonty]

pakistan has the bowling attack to bowl england out today.. i think it is very much possible

 

[Raz]

Inzi not taking the single

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi farming the strike finally

 

[mooz]

Bravo Inzi
Tea tak bat karo

 

[Amjid Javed]

haha wide from flintoff

 

[Cartman]

looks to me vaughan is more gutless than inzi.. he didnt take the new ball for fear of giving away quick runs .. he only needed 3 wickets and he could have wrapped it up a fair bit quicker than how long it has taken them.. and we still one wicket standing.. he let it go and decided not to dictate the proceedings today. seems like they had given up hope long before shoaib got out.

 

[AT1]

wideeeeeee

ya true. But this was the time when we could have send them a message that we are here for some purpose (to wrap up the series). this wud have made them more under pressure and a chance for our bowlers

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi asks umps how many balls left clearly showing his intention of keeping stirke

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and single is taken 248-9 pakistan

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

If Inzi is slightly injured, it may mean that Younis will be captaining this afternoon.

Inzi is doing what Vaughan wants here. They'll be happy their not batting against Danish and Shaoib on this 5th day pitch!

[Raz]

Inzi with 2 runs. Well run!!

 

[AT1]

great running

 

[Ace Base]

Is it reasonable to assume that the captains on the field know slightly more than some of you posting on here?

If they have chosen to play the way they have, surely they know something you don't?

Or is it the other way around?

 

[badxhah]

why doenst inzy get a runner to avoid further damages

 

[mooz]

shouldn't inzi get himself a runner if he is going to run quick doubles?

 

[Amjid Javed]

no ball & single now

kaneria to face last 2 balls

 

[Hash]

why doenst inzy get a runner to avoid further damages

because every time you get a runner your team is docked 6000 runs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kaneria to face final ball of the over as inzi goes onto 89 nvm it was a no ball as well so kaneria must face 2 balls

 

[Raz]

Kaneria has to face 2 balls.

 

[kasoo10]

11 runs left

 

[Raz]

Solid defense from Danni.

 

[mooz]

Hoggard spoilt Inzi's plan with that no ball
Could it have been deliberate?

 

[AT1]

lets go danish, lets go!!!

 

[Cartman]

inzi taking hoggy to the cleaners here.

[Wiji]

I don't know if any of you noticed, but Inzamam's strike rate is 75. That's really good for a test match and in these circumstances, it would mean he was going for the win. But the others around him couldn't cope with the wicket it seemed.
