look at the run rate !!!! easy bowling but we throwed it away !

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

If you think about it, if pakistan was to arrange their full strength batting order properly, it would be very daunting:

Shahid Afridi
Shoiab Malik
Younis Khan
Inzimam-ul-haq
Yousuf Yohanna
Asim Kamal
Abdul Razzaq
Kamran Akmal

Thats 8 guenuine batsmen, I think this is the line up for tests and odi's. Malik has to open because I think he would be successful at that possition, showed he can bat outside asia with his 50 as well

I think that is a very good lineup. I'd probably choose that for the next test if Youhana was available. If not, Bazid could probably substitute. For future tests, I'd sub Shoaib for Razzaq.

 

[Usman]

Afridi smacks a 4

 

[Shoaib A]

batting well afridi and asim, but late I would say...

[Shoaib A]

[Amir]

[Shoaib A]

[pakistani pride]

end of days play =

 

[Usman]

good thing these two are here,lets see what happens tommarow

 

[MecnunK]

well razzler can bat for days as long as there is no quality spin!! asim and razzler are our last hope with kamran also a whisker of hope..still cannot see them batting for 2 days...

 

[tahaqureshi]

neither can I...but at this runrate we only need to bat another 94 Overs!!!!!!

Almost ONE DAY only!

inshallah

 

[Wiji]

but at this runrate we only need to bat another 94 Overs!!!!!!

If Afridi lasts another 40 overs, I assure you the match will be set and done!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

If Afridi lasts another 40 overs, I assure you the match will be set and done!!

EXACTLY!

 

[Guest]

basically if wee bat out today and have 3 wickets left

unlikely

and both batsmen are set

we may be close
