Wonderful stroke from Amin. He really is a classy player and very nice to watch. I really hope he goes on today and scores big. A very good talent, nonetheless.

I think Malik's looking the better, so I'd bet on him.

Nice positve start by Mr mirza - i smell a triple-ton.

It depends on the over rate.

Lunch will be at 12.30

 

[Random Aussie]

Dammit Malik actually has a spine.

We need wickets bad. Get Watto on! He is our best bowler this series.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Hilfy to Moon sahib.

I don't think so, more like a 230 lead.

 

[Dil Dil Pakistan]

"I sincerely believe that Umar Akmal ( Hailed as the best new batsman in the world) should take some classes from either Javed Miandad or Inzi to understand the nitty gritties of Test Cricket," writes Shoaib Bin Jamil. "Otherwise, I am afraid, he too will take a decision like Afridi that 'he doesn't have the temperament of test cricket'."

Cricinfo.

 

[KA$H]

Mitch still struggling with teh left/right combo- good job!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

for most team... a 100 run lead is enough for winning a match...but the irony of Pakistan is that we are praying for 300 runs lead for having a chance to win a mach..

 

[Energy]

Malik beaten!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Remember they still have the legendary North up their sleeve.

 

[murphyslaw79]

Just heard the commentator saying that this cricket ball has not swung as much as the one used by Pakistan. What is he implying by that, sour grape.

Your looking into it too much.

Often there is a difference between balls, as some swing more and others less. Things like colour, seam, and care (not illegal) can make a big difference.

I am sure what he is implying is that Pakistan bowlers are better at swinging and seaming the ball than the aussies.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

lead by 101 runs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

101/4

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan lead now 102, amin and malik must play very purposefully and set targets like getting to lead of 150 and then hopefully to 200 .

 

[ZAK]

Single to Amin.

 

[amar1212]

I like Amin. Nice replacement for Yusuf. Hopefully he gets selected for the England tests

 

[afridi_captain]

not needed that single, I think Amin is trying to protect Malik from strike.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

hopely when Aussies come for batting we will need cloud cover and a damp pitchh..

 

[Energy]

Lead moves to 103.

 

[RehanG]

If we don't get one of these 2 out soon we are gone....

[Shakil_pkcricket]

not needed that single, I think Amin is trying to protect Malik from strike.

Malik needs that protection early on in his innings..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 191/4

Nice partnership building here..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What a shot by Amin.

 

[afridi_captain]

[ZAK]

[Afridi_Fan]

Damn.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I'm still kicking myself how Akmal got out to that half voly. Defensive shot my a**

Exactly my sentiments..I was utterly disappointed with that stroke..Why in the hell would you play at a delivery wide of off stump and going away further..!..Pathetic Stuff really..

 

[afridi_captain]

How unlucky is that.

 

[Energy]

Unbelievable!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]
