[Oxy]

Match summary:

Australia 253 & 334

Pakistan 148

Pakistan need 440 runs to win )

They have 7 sessions (approx 220 overs) ) )

 

[imshally81]

38 overz are still remaining for today

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cant wait to see Afridi and Farthead bat. Lets see if they have any balls and tough it out. Both men have been playing for atleast 10 years so nothing less is expected

 

[ali_ed2006]

As another poster said in the 2nd session thread "Let the pain really begin now"

 

[Friend786]

weather reports for next 2 days plz?

 

[cricketpassion]

Pakistan need to make these runs 2.10 per over .shud be easy

 

[srh]

Must congratulate Pakistani bowlers that the bowled out Australia twice. 20 wickets.

 

[Momo]

440 to win. Match on.

 

[junaidmalik]

It may be require a record beating chase, but we have the time....do we have the legs though?

 

[saj001]

All out today?

 

[Amjid Javed]

I can see Aussies claiming extra Half-hour tonight to win the Match.

 

[Oxy]

weather reports for next 2 days plz?

It will start raining once the final wkt is taken....

 

[pakmania]

This innings is gonna be repeated over and over again on Comedy Central if we dont show some fight and aggression.

Should get at least 250-300 on a pitch thats getting flatter and flatter.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Last 10 ovs 48/1 RR 4.80 of Aussies Inning...
and I know Pakistan will try to score more then 6 RR ....they don't wanna play test Innings...

 

[imshally81]

440 to win. Match on.

Yes for Australia

 

[Oxy]

All out today?

And time for a quick T20 knock about at the end

 

[Strike!]

It would be miraculous to reach 300 much less 440. )

 

[srh]

Farhat may score more runs than Butt in 2nd inning.

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

i hope waqar hasnt speciallly ordered an 'all you can eat buffett ' from lahore karahi for tea

 

[azfar wali]

We have alot of time to play with so Maybe we can pull it off

 

[chui_kadoo]

I reckon Pak will lose 4 wickets by the end of today. Its all too predictable

 

[Poison]

I think we will get to 420-2 and lose our last 8 wickets for 9 runs.

 

[uzy99]

Impossible is nothing.

 

[khanz141]

I just hope the two debutants score some runs... tht all im wishin for, the rest is a lost cause

 

[saj001]

And time for a quick T20 knock about at the end

what else you expect

 

[imshally81]

so afridi is coming for the open ??

 

[cricketpassion]

Pakistan will need to set a new world record if they are to win this game, beating the previous record chase of 418 for 7 by West Indies against Australia at the ARG in Antigua

I think we can do it

 

[mastermind_quad]

other batter need to support SB UA and KA ...
SB for 100 ...

 

[chui_kadoo]

There is more of a chance of Zimabwe winning the world cup next year than us winning this test.

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

pakistan have a mountain to climb if we can finish end of the day in the three figures with 1 wicket max lost .........we have a 10% chance .

 

[rajachoudhary50]

RELAX this can be done...All it needs is some patience and application and some smart section. We got 2.5 days remaining to get 440 ..thats like 200 a day....We can tire their bowlers out and score slowly at 2 runs an over and we can score 180 in 90 overs in a day. Like I said before Afridi has it all figured out...He is gonna surprise everyone and write his name in record books at end of 5th day...The guy is a genius...Be positive guys...Just do it...Nothnig is impossible Cheer and support our guys let goooooooooo

 

[Friend786]

any change in batting order ?

 

[mastermind_quad]

I think we will get to 420-2 and lose our last 8 wickets for 9 runs.

that's a bit to harsh ....btw who scored a century or double in ur score 420-2.....

 

[KingKhanWC]

The good news is the run rate required is only around 2.

 

[Strike!]

How long is lunch?

 

[Energy]

any change in batting order ?

Asif and Kaneria to open the innings!

very positive....

 

[junaidmalik]

This total seems inpossible...we need someone to pull a real geoffrey boycott/Sunny Gavaskar innings just stick to the crease and score a single every 2 overs...then we may just get a draw

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pak batsmen have always been good in recent times at making mediocre/rubbish bowlers in the opposite side look good and make them heroes out of nothing

 

[KingKhanWC]

How long is lunch?

40 mins but they have eaten, it's tea now for 20 mins, a bit unfair on Douggie, he had only 10 mins by the time he took his pads off and has to be ready to bowl.

 

[Oxy]

How long is lunch?

If they are still on lunch, then its lasted 2hrs & 20 mins so far!

 

[aqeelPK]

i dont know who will win this match, but one thing is for sure that either azhar ali or umar amin will score a hundred Inshallah.

 

[Momo]

that's a bit to harsh ....btw who scored a century or double in ur score 420-2.....

Afridi 401* (87).

that's the prob my friend in Pak batting line up....they can't play long defencively ...need to play natural game ...

 

[classic]

Can someone plz let Afridi, Waqar & Co know they just need just 2 odd runs per over ...so just pace the innings try and not loose any wickets today ...play sensibly and keep warm..in the mean time we will all be praying for heavenly showers for the next two days ...to draw the match..

 

[Theo_14]

Pakistan won't win, but I'm hoping they will do well and avoid emberassment, hopefully the 2 young debutants will do well, fight for it pakistan!!

 

[ZAK]

The openers are walking out.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Afridi 401* (87).

.....401 is ok but on 87 balls ........i don't think he'll play that much delivery....

 

[Friend786]

here we go now !

 

[deviously~fading~away]

How long is lunch?

Do you really want them to come back out on the field. If I was a spectator I would just lock the dressing room door from the outside while the team is still in there having 'tea'!

 

[Energy]

Sun is out, and so are the openers. Good Luck boys!

 

[imshally81]

Playerz are in the field

 

[rajachoudhary50]

i dont know who will win this match, but one thing is for sure that either azhar ali or umar amin will score a hundred Inshallah.

Well if they become Azhar amin and Umar ali they might have a chance ) just kidding........On serious note ...relax guys the good thnig is run rate is just 2 per over needed....All it needs is patience ,application , concentration and proper shot selection.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Only Umar Akmal in the pak side has an avererage of above 40. That says it all

 

[uzy99]

who here thinks this will end today or in the first session tomorrow?

 

[pakcricketfan]

One thing is for sure.. Pakistan are going to create history.

If we win, we will break the record of chasing the biggest total in tests.
If we lose, we will hold the record for the longest ever continuous losing streak against same opposition.

 

[classic]

if Imran Farhat fails now ...i say sit him out for the rest of the series

 

[rajachoudhary50]

The openers are walking out.

YOu mean they are OUT already ) ) ) or are they walking out to get OUT :

 

[Slickman]

is 418 the record? i though south africa chased down 450 agianst aus losing only 3 or 4 wickets!

 

[rhussain33]

Match summary:
Pakistan need 440 runs to win )

They have 7 sessions (approx 220 overs) ) )

440 runs off 1320 balls ??? Thats a piece of cake !!

they can do that without hitting any boundaries and playing 880 dot balls

Bollinger and Hilfenhaus would lick their lips at that oppurtunity

 

[pakmania]

If they are still on lunch, then its lasted 2hrs & 20 mins so far!

Cor,Dougie Bollinger certainly has an appetite !

 

[Gollum]

is 418 the record? i though south africa chased down 450 agianst aus losing only 3 or 4 wickets!

ODI??...Test certainly not!

 

[chui_kadoo]

if Imran Farhat fails now ...i say sit him out for the rest of the series

I say sit him out for the rest of his career

 

[KingKhanWC]

Only Umar Akmal in the pak side has an avererage of above 40. That says it all

Even if every batsmen scores their averages it's still not enough. )

 

[tauseefm]

Ya allah ek wicket day

 

[pakmania]

We've lasted one over ! Break open the box of mithai !

 

[classic]

Pakistan should aim for 60 -70 runs today

 

[Oxy]

is 418 the record? i though south africa chased down 450 agianst aus losing only 3 or 4 wickets!

That was 434 in an ODI game.

This is a test match

 

[ZAK]

 

[Rizie]

hilfenhaus to take a fiver

 

[pakmania]

 

[KingKhanWC]

No ball and straight drive from Butt for 4, good shot.

 

[imshally81]

start with the no ball....
and

 

[adnan yasin]

no ball and a four . . by butt straight drive ..

HUGE HUGE ASK

 

[chui_kadoo]

Even if every batsmen scores their averages it's still not enough. )

I think Yousuf, Younis and Inzi all have averages nearer the 50 mark.

 

[hashbb]

what a shot only 435 left

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Sun is out guys!

 

[imshally81]

target is just 435 now
