Well, here's to hoping Younis scores yet another century.

But if not, then they should try to get a lead of at least 500-550 runs and bowl out the Aussies for 200-250 again.

A 300 run victory would be so sweet. :najam
 
Still believe this Aussie team is capable of chasing anything under 500 against such a rookie bowling attack if the pitch doesn't deteriorate much..
 
400 is enough , but If I was the captain I would like to bat at least another 40 - 45 overs here.
 
They better bat at quicker pace but seeing it's Azhar and YK at the crease we can expect slow start.
 
Younis Khan needs to find some boundaries here , he needs to be around 75 by lunch to get a ton.
 
I think Pak will atleast bat for 50 overs and score around 150 runs which mean 500 plus lead and then will give aussies around 40 overs to face on day 4 and 130 in total, And if I were Misbah i would also do the same. Play it safe, can't risk such a historic series win far being over aggressive and if Pak still cannot get them all out in 130 overs in 4th inning they can't in 150 either. So be realistic all of those posters who are even thinking about declaration at Lunch. May Allah bless Pak with another victory.
 
Younis is riding his luck so far in this innings, can he cash in and get another ton, only time will tell.

not that much and this is a slow pitch pace varies on such dead surfaces, I am sure he will be back in his grove vs India, He is still 2nd best to Johnson and a lovely bowler with perfect action, speed and enthusiasm plus vegan is healthy lifestyle.
 
Why is there an assumption that the Aussies will capitulate so quickly in the second innings? Warner, maxwell, Clarke, smith and marsh have all shown a bit of promise so far, if three or four of them find some luck this game could be far from over..

Yes, but not suited for fast bowling. Need that protein and that too in large amounts for your body to recover.

Siddle should be pensioned off for good
 
Azhar has a solid technique against pace, but all at sea vs spin, need to up his game against spin.
 
really good bowling by Siddle and Lyon in last few overs.

Shame on you being an Aussie, How can you say that for your premium bowler.

There is no room for sentiment.
And Siddle at his best was a good, honest bowler who always did his best. His best just isn't good enough anymore

Its not like you can only get protein by eating meat only, there are other natural clean sources, I think he knows it better than you, No need to sacrifice innocent animals to satisfy your hunger and desires when you can obtain it from other sources, A lesson for all non-veg people!

He is still very good even on this dead pitch and your bias and judgment shouldn't cloud his performance on such low slow lifeless surface!

And we've got better alternatives plus he was poor in county cricket and hopeless in South Africa.

I see no reason to stick with him

I think he is still Australia's third best seamer option..
 
Azhar ali is occupying the no 3 spot and he has performed well in this series

Meat has complex amino acids which is difficult to find in other sources. Powder protein can prove to be a good alternative but when you don't have high protein meat based diet to back it up, its just not sufficient for sustained muscle strength. Eat all the greens you want its not going to give you what you need to perform at your peak.

Being vegetarian, like homosexuality is a mental disorder. Completely and utterly unnatural behavior.

What do you do with all those innocent animals? Free them into the wild where they will cause hundreds of other innocent species to die out?

I'm sorry but I was created as a omnivore and I'll enjoy a proper, healthy diet.
 
umpire's call..voww that was mighty close but YK was far down the track.

i think thats more to do with the fact that we havent taken the games so far usually
 
Younis needs to hit out or get out. Not helping matters right now.

Also watching the Chairmans XI vs South Africa T20 match.

South Africa got destroyed by Muirhead and Turner
 
Warner deserves all this. Hope we see Clarke explode in his face soon. Then we would have truly repaid the Aussies.

You're playing for your number 1 ranking, you lose this and we become new world number 1s :D
 
YK's strike rate is just 30..:facepalm: and he has 3 consecutive tons..:facepalm: not needed for ODIs.

Nobody is going to blame Warner for not being able to keep when he isn't a keeper.
