Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
We need six 50's and 23 runs. First 50 achieved another 5 to go. Inshallah they will also be achieved.
If we can get to 250 with about 3 wickets down England will be demoralised and it will make our job that much easier.

By the way, I have always said that if we lose one opener and get Younis Khan at the crease, then it's better to lose the opener too and get MoYo at the wicket, becuase these two do play exceptionally well together.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
yes ehsan bhai…i just hope he stays there for long if he is playing the anchor role
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.

chalo taufeeeq umar out gayi bhens paaani main
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Oye yaar...keep the wickets intact if you want to win this match... sigh
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Damn it, SIX innings and our openers were nothing but walking wickets.

Taht's a VERY nice way to chase down targets. Divide it up into small chunks, 20/30/40 or even 50s. and then work towards the next milestone without losing wickets. Keeps the batsmen concentrated, and occupied. Our coach used to teach us that.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
ya allah one more partnership like 1st inning from these two
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
With Taufeeq gone, now is the crunch time, we have our two best batsmen at the crease. Make or break time.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Well let me tell you this, if these two do stay at the wicket till lunch, the score is going to be definitely above 100 and 100 odd for 2 isn't too bad either.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
We must not lose another wicket before tea, cuz Inzi can't come in until then :(
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Panesar to Taufeeq Umar, OUT, the ball pitches just outside off, turns and the batsman bottom edges that one on to his pad where it flies up to Cook short in on the off-side. Panesar deserved that wicket, and he bounds up and down in delight (some may call it a skip): he’d had the batsman in all kinds of bother
The 'over-rated' Panesar has taken another Pakistan wicket.

Aameen - Sum Aameen.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Yousaf k atay he score mai taizi say izafa ho raha hay
62/2 (18.3 ov)
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
I think this may be it for Taufeeq for the test series and will be sent home after it finishes.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
You can't say that Taufeeq Umer or in today's case, even Salman Butt got out to tricks of the new ball. They just didn't have the temperament and the mental strength needed today, and this is where Shoaib Malik has been excellent in the past two years. He is not as skilled as either of these two (or any of our other openers), but is a fighter and plays with determination (not unlike Younis Khan). We need fighters, not losers :D
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Rock jee anyone even you and me can take the wicket of Salman and taufeeq let alone the highly over rated Panesar.
Re: 3rd Test - Eng vs Pak - Leeds, 4th-8th Aug.
Ameen
