Maybe Kumble heard what Rameez said on cricinfo

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

With current form of our top order? :cb:

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

commentators saying butt might not be allowed to open due to time spent off field
he came on little bit before declaration...gives me the feeling that pakistan didnt expect declaration so soon?

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Is it for this game only or future games too? :halo:

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

he didn't take the field for the first 25-30 mins.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Butt is opening so relax.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

hamid n akmal opening.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

akmal to open instead of butt

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Pakistan might go for the kill. It will be interesting how Akmal bats.

kumble bowling 2nd over of the day

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

In retrospect of the current form of our lower order comprising of a legendary all-rounder and a future captain. :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

i dont think any ex indian or pakistani captain would have declared

he definitely made a bold move and credit to him for making a tense 5th day

Aamir Sohail: "For me, 3.63 is a good run-rate".

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2
