I have this really weird feeling this match isn't over.

Maybe it's just, what's that word called, optimistic hope, but I don't know, I feel like three people are going to score 100s here, including Butt.

I mean, it is a flat wicket, if everyone miraculously just stays at the crease, then why not?
 
I want them to draw this match, but the thing is - to DRAW the match, they'll need to be there at the end of Day 5.. and if we're still there at the end of Day 5, we'll already have made the total! The required run rate is just around two an over.

I wonder what afridi said to Farthead after that horrific shot

He said, "Well played. One day you can be as great as me." :afridi
 
so far azhar ali is playing confidently.. i expected few nerves but guy surely has something.
 
Butt looks almost dead out there; he needs to rotate the strike, he did it alright in the first innings. Right now he's either going for a boundary.. or nothing.

What can he say? Afridi is different to him in terms of batting

There are always hundreds at Lords when the weather is decent. But even 2 hundreds may not be enough, 3 then game on but that is very optimistic.

Yep. You got the right feeling. 9 wickets still left.
 
Yeah...Farhat has to go.

Sure we get good starts, but those kinds of farts are unacceptable.

We want players who can carry on

Farhat is out, Butt is there, he won't make more than 200, the rest are noobs, Afridi has a brainfart issue whenever he bats, and last but not least, the Bradman of the team ( Asif ) has a test average of 5.77
 
Azhar Ali is playing a little bit too fast. Need to take it easy.
 
If farthead plays in the next test match instead of Yasir Hameed, theres gona be an outrage
 
Interesting passage of play, good contest. Imran Fart just had to spoil it though.

I just want our team to FIGHT IT OUT instead of gifting the match away!
 
Butt is going for the kill now. He first killed the Aussies' will power and now is going to put them out of their misery.
 
Shortttttttttttttt Wideeeeeeeeee...Butt did well to put some bat on it and hit it well enough to pick up a Four.....
 
Like I said Butt is the only one who's gonna score something like 200, the rest are noobs, and Afridi '' The Beast '' ( inverted comas, remember that ), is gonna score 50 off 10 and then get out.
 
See, here's the funny thing.

I said this last night. I'll say it again.

Pakistanis like to do these things at the end of the day where they like to leave their fans with some home, and then the next morning rolls along and we just get burned.

Has happened both days so far, and if we're left one down today, it'll happen again.

We'll make our crazy bold predictions, and then the next morning will roll along, we'll get rolled over by lunch.

But regardless, we keep that hope, because, it's unavoidable.
 
Azhar Ali actually looks way more comfortable out there than Farhat.
You know what, I'd rather say nothing so I don't jynx anyone.

Well said Zee, I was just thinking exactly the same. We're fans, and regardless of the stage of the game, there's always that hope.

Great minds think alike. :D

Disgusting comment really, mate its Test cricket..

Better doze off and wait for next IPL to begin
 
gotta love the effort by the aussies...they don't give up...great stop by Hussey...i thought that was a clear four but then hussey came out of no where
 
Impressive commitment from the Aussie fielders. They are defending 400+ against Pakistan and this is the second boundary they have saved in a similar fashion.
 
Tuk tuk Azhar playing with a strike rate of over 100.
