What a superb innings by Younis Khan, he's defyed this Sri Lankan attack, and made them look very poor
 
Hmmm, Muralis getting the ball from outside off stump to leg stump? This might be dangerous for Pakistan
 
PAK 137-1 | Need 46 more runs to win

Partnershiop : 99 runs off 149 balls

Farhat 53(98) Younis 53(72)
 
Is it me or Younis is treating Murali like he did to Kumble in India

Thats what I was just now thinking about, maybe he is. However, I think he did what he did to Kumble because he was Indian :P
 
Kulasekara 9-3-18-0, Murali 9-2-33-0

LOL Look at the comparisons, Kulasekara has bowled much better than fat old Murali

intresting stat

farhat never hit a 6 in tests

Salman Butt hit only 1 six in test cricket, and one day cricket.

Salman Butt hit a six in test cricket against Ashley Giles, and in one day cricket against Andrew Flintoff. I watched both of the sixes live :D

Anyway, a little off topic, but the conclusion remains that our two leftie openers don't hit many sixes.


WHAT A SHOT BY FARHAT!
 
Farhat played a full, healthy role meanwhile in calming nobody's nerves. The ball beat his bat so religiously it seemed to be taking revenge for the battering its white cousin received at the Wanderers a few weeks ago. When he wasn't getting beaten or driving boundaries, he would be grateful that he wasn't timing the ball particularly well. On three occasions, his shots fell inches short of fielders; an edge short of slip, a drive short of cover, a slap just short of mid-on, all a matter of inches.


*lol*

Great observation. Yeah they've cheered for good cricket and have been supportive of both teams. Really nice to see.
 
Heck, if Farhat averages 60+ in each and every innings he plays, I really don't care if he gets out on 60 or 100 if he can average that much
 
wow i just woke up and Pakistan is just doing after long time what i was hoping for!

And supposedly written by Osman Samiuddin...a case of 'Identity theft' maybe :13:
 
YK's innings has been so good that if he is still there when Pak wins, Inshallah, I would be tempted to give him 'Joint MOM' with M. Asif!

YK just took his game to another level today :19: :14:

He has been playing Murali's doosra, a ball quite hard to pick, as if Murali was bowling in slow motion!

He used his feet well and played everything on merit today.

This innings has to be much better than any innings against Indian spinners and inswing bowler Kumble :D

Much more than that...I will give half credit to Asif and half credit to YK for winning this game

Or maybe 40-40% to both and 20% to rest of the team

Now it is easy for you to say it; match is almost won!

Just look how much difficulty Yousaf is still having playing Murali and how easily YK has negotiated him
 
What a test match, and what a turn around for Pakistan

Just a few more required.

I'm gonna go find a song by Vital Signs that resembled this test match.
 
Australia love for SL cont...

I can see it some far far away in a Srilankan version of PP the abuses comimg out ....

the forum must have been filled wid ding ling kling ding ling kling
 
Think India would have chock today under pressure ? 185 isnt much but it was pak against Murali :)

Fine by me...it kinda makes me at peace for losses in Australia in 1999-2000 and the 1999 loss in WI, due to some 'Brilliant' umpiring

I have argued for a while around here that YK is our best player of spin. He handled Murali quite well even back in the 2000 series.

Though a few good players find Murali easier to pick and handle these days.
 
heading for a victory. awesome.
But I wanted farhat to finish it off. damn. Just when I feel he is maturing, he gets out.

Pakistan just need to get some good backup bowlers. Not Gul please. search a genuine talent.

so whats next for Pakistan after India ODI matches?
 
Kit Calling Card Trophy ???? any idea ? what type of calling card is that ?

We go to Scotland in June, and England in July for 4 tests and 5 ODIs. After that we go to India for the ICC Champions Trophy. I dont remember where else.

DROPPED! Yousuf gets a life! Even though it wouldn't have mattered as much.

Pakistan need 5 more runs!
