That was uncalled for. Two catches dropped of him and he was unlucky not to get another one or two. So blame the fielders not the bowler. If those catches were held the lead would have been near to 100. As for unit Pak are fighting as a unit as well. remember the last two wickets added more than 80 runs, so lets not get carried away by SA.
if u say so..i did not see complete pak bowling.....match starts 3.30AM ET...
i checked the score this mroning and all I saw (yet again!) was a 0 against his name in wickets taken column.....

Azhar is a better player of fast bowling and Misbah plays spin better than Azhar. I have been waiting for them to change ends so they could play their strengths but this is beyond ridiculous..no single in last one hour

AAs long as Steve Davis does not get trigger happy SA is done.
i dont think so uncle ..other than ajmal we really dont have a lot of threatening bowlers...wicket is still behaving really nice....bounce is even....actually wicket is getting better and better as the time progressed....as if it is settling down....but it i dry out there and i still hope cracks to appear sooner than later
anyway, SA scored 236 for 2 in 4th innings in the same ground not so long ago...i think advantage with SA at this stage...ideally we need SA to score 170+ on 5th day with 6 or 7 wickets in hand

Aaj Dravid ki ami bhi ro pariN. Get ready Steyn..u r next
What an exhibition of nothingness. Secret to Misbah's success story.
yarr appreciate karo what we have....2 for 7 was not looking good...
this tuk tuk is just fine..consolidate consolidate....
plus appreciate the game strategically...if anything, this tuk tuk is buying us time...as i said in many posts, we NEED to take this game to day 5 hoping this wicket will be in bad shape by then...the wicket is still playing really well
we need SA to score at least 170+ runs on day 5 with no more than 6 or 7 wickets in hand....
we could have scored 160 today with 5 or 6 wickets down and then all out by lunch tomorrow scoring 250-270 or so...and SA would have chased most of this 250 on day 4 when the wicket would be still playing relatively fine....game over for Pak
so strategically, i would rather somehow linger on till tea tomorrow to get to that 250-270 number and then try to get 2 or 3 wickets in last session and then go to day 5....i suspect session after lunch on day 5 would be awesome and ajmal would be in full flow on a battling wicket.....but we need to buy time to get there....
