Malik has been told in the past that he's not allowed to bowl the doosra as his elbow isn't within the allowable degree of extension

63.5
Shoaib Malik to Finn, no run, 55.5 mph, hmm, was that the doosra? It seemed to spin the other way and Finn defended

It was an outswinger not a doosra.
 
Butt trying his best to delay going out to bat :)

There is no explantion on why bowling the partimers from both end except to delay batting. One over from Gul and Aamer should do the trick but then Butt will have to bat in these conditions. Two low scores and he knows many will be callng for his head.
Playing for himself really.
 
I think Butt has realised there is no hope.

Also does Malik bowl the doosra?
 
FOUR. I have absolutely NO idea why they can't bowl Asif/Aamer/Gul now, why Kaneria?!?!
 
Run Machine tonked again for 4. What a rubbish ball. Why bring him back on. I would rather give farthead a bowl
 
Just get the fast bowlers in. Finn is not looking troubled at all against these two.
 
England has a proper chance of knocking 2-3 wickets tonight of Pakistan with a possible 24 overs still remaining in the day
 
This is a farce. Kamran and Farhat even laughing at how Prior and Finn are taking so long
 
Economy rates of Amin and Malik TOGETHER isn't as high as Kaneria's. Shameful stuff.
 
Poor captaincy from Butt. Should have brought Asif back on to get the last wicekt.
 
if there ever was doubt about Kaneria's place in team, well that should be gone now. Whipping boy of every opponent is Danish.
 
Strauss waiting for Prior hundred. Tough batting period ahead for Pakistan.
 
Strauss just batting as long as they can so Pak won't bat in the sun.
 
World Record chase on AGAIN! What is this, our 3rd try in 4 test matches? We have to do it sometime...the law of averages demands it.
 
Its official now. Pakistan will have to chase record total to win this match.
 
Poor captaincy from Butt. Should have brought Asif back on to get the last wicekt.

:butt doesn't want :asif:aamir to get injured, and he knows were going to loose this match so he's giving them rest

Lords was a better chance, this time it's near impossible.

Kaneria still going, prior will be looking to get to his ton, qucik.
 
looking at the bowlers in operation with Finn at the crease, it seems like the captain has thrown in the towel already.

making we are helping Prior out with his career, I do not know.
 
Pakistan have been waiting on the declaration since the fall of the 9th wicket.
 
hope Prior gets out right here..


edit: nvm Kaneria's back in so pretty much a guarantee that he'll get to 100.
 
I hope somebody shuts Kamran's mouth he's getting so annoying with all this 'shaabash' and 'well bowled' he hasnt done anything in this and what are the chances he'll get out for under 15 in the 2nd innings? 99%, this game is out of reach when the lead went passed 250, Pakistan cannot chase anything above 200 to save their lives this is gonna b another crumble with 2 days still remaining they will go out and play horrible shots like they have 50 overs to chase this score! Watching Matt Prior taking it to the bowlers says it all really.

On another note, I feel really bad for Aamer, Asif and somewhat Gul, but Kaneria has to go no matter how good he may be or may have been he has to sit out the rest of the tour!
