I think once he scores his century whether its today or tomorrow. Taufeeq should take the game away and score how he started its about building a lead so you can afford to be aggressive!

From Cricinfo:

Fauzan: "I just sent a comment about how Taufeeq hadn't hit a boundary in the past 50 overs. So naturally, he hits a boundary in the next over. I think the Rameez-curse has officially passed on to me now!"
 
I want Misbah to lose his wicket tomorrow and have Taufeeq and Umar Akmal at the crease tomorrow!!!
 
Looks like sammys driving to force him to drive in the air.
 
:taufeeq "I'm so lucky"

:misbah "Let's go for a draw"

Come on, don't ruin it now. Made us torture and now trying to get out before the ton.
 
4 lives now for Taufeeq. Dropped 3 times and missed run out. Direct hit and would have gone. He was nowhere close!

I want to see Pakistan win and win comfortably. I want Pakistan to rise up in the rankings and be the force we used to be in Test.

Is it wrong for me to just want to see my team perform like any others out there.

Look at England Lions Vs Sri Lankans that was a 4 day match and still produced a result.

Eng Lions scored 493-8 (dec) in 109 overs and Sri Lankans 266 ao 63.4 overs.

Then Sri Lanks followed on 448 ao 104 overs needing Eng Lions 222 to win and they were 183 ao in 47.3 overs.

Pakistan are 188-3 in 70 overs when we should have been at way above 230-250 at the rate we started 4-5 rpo!

There was no need to go on the defense because we were doing very well there was no collapse and partnership was being built too!

Different conditions, different pressure, different players.

Also, SL havent suffered the amount of collapses we have in the past 2 3 years. So thats why we mostly bat with a defensive mind set these days. We need experienced, established players to change the approach of current test team. These experiemced men will make sure that youngsters also play with positivity and not bat with a defensive approach. Misbah is not the best example when it comes to rotating the strike. And the younsgters dont know how to dominate a test attack. They will only learn to do so when they bat with quality test players. Thats why the presence of both Yousuf and Younis is a must in the test team.
 
From cricinfo.

Sammy to Taufeeq Umar, no run, I would be very cruel if I call that a drop. Lendl Simmons produces a piece of acrobatic brilliance but can't latch on. Full ball on off stump, Taufeeq lofts the drive uppishly to the left of mid-off. Simmons hurries across and goes fully parallel as he tries to take it, in what can best be described a Matrix moment. The ball did not stick.

It would be the most hilarious thing if Taufiq gets out on 99

You see our PCB dnt have that intelligence that yes youngsters are the way forward but in order for them to do so, they have to be taught and guided by the best. Our best is not Misbah! Its magical duo of Yousuf and Younis!

Without them, this team is a shambles and will always remain a shambles and our PCB will remain a laughing stock around the World.
 
Looks like Taufeeq will be needing to get 4 runs in the last over of the day
 
Last over of the day 1 more run for the lead of 250 we all wanted and 4 runs for Taufeeq to get his 100!
