thinking alongside misbah. he might declare but i think he will wait for younis century if younis makes a 50.
No need for 600, we're never going to get close to that even if we're given 30 wickets.
 
Aman must be held accountable for not digesting this defeat in a reasonable fashion. You haven't made one concrete point.

you guys arent coming close to 450 either but the thing is younis will make a 50+ score and misbah will give him time for a hundred. I dont think misbah will declare with younis at 65. Thus i believe we will reach 600 lead.
 
We should declare half way through next session, no need to wait for younus's hundred

Makes sense I guess, you have plenty of time to bowl us out anyway.

Point about what? You've smashed us, what is there to analyse? Pakistan have carried on where they left off against the Aussies, while our batsmen have thrown their wickets away, not that it would have made an impact on the result but it's certainly frustrating to see them give it away so easily on a wicket where the opposition are racking up totals of 500/3. I'm not saying they should match it, all I want them to do is put up a fight and get to respectable totals like 350-380 which on this wicket shouldn't be difficult. The conditions have been pretty much the same throughout, so the toss isn't an excuse for this game.

If you're gonna pick hacks like Anderson then you're bound to lose wickets in stupid fashions. Like trying to make Maxwell or Afridi play cricket.
 
I'm sorry [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] that I haven't gotten on my knees and heaped praised on Pakistan.

I'm more concerned about my teams non-performance and lack of fight.

He's an AR, also the second most effective pacer from either side.
 
I have a feeling williamon and taylor will contribute big in 2nd innings.
Nah, Rosco's really bad against SLA's.

Williamson maybe.

Still will take a massive effort to somehow draw this.

You are not giving us credit and are coming up with excuses after excuses. Don't be a bitter loser.

You're better than us, okay? I've already said YK is probably only second to AB today and Shehzad is ahead of Kohli in Tests. What else do you need to say to make yourselves feel better? Do you want me to say Misbah is better than Viv?
 
Now you have said it. Good. :baelish
I think I've said it a number of times already, I even said you had achieved more than us after the Aus series, but gee whiz you Pakistani's and your egos :afaq
 
I don't know if we can go with Wagner, he can reverse it but he lacks pace as well.

Could be cannon fodder here.
 
even Imran is not the sharpest we just have him for his reverse.
Maybe we should have gone with a genuine quick. Gah, if only Adam Milnes body could hold up he could have added some much needed edge.

would have broken his back while going at 5 rpo.
 
your bowling is isn't good enough, don't matter a bit who you select, it's like indian bowling overseas.
Indian bowling get's favorable conditions and still fails.

Southee has only failed here, while Boult has still a long way to go to before being anywhere near the top bowlers in the world.

This is why Hafeez should be in the middle order! He's all class when the ball isn't moving around.
