Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand...
Reading here (sans ehsan bhai) everyone seems to think the match is in the bag for Pakistan, and its only a matter of how we finish off the lame duck Indians.
Bhai log, do you not know Pakistan team? Idher line lagti hai tau lambi hi lagti hai. Aap log barhkeiN maarnay ki bajayay, ja'namaz dhondein aur dua karein, aur kal sabb Muharram ka roza rakhein.
Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand...
Pakistan should bat out until the end of fifth day, have Younis and Yousuf score double centuries, including a maiden century of Shoaib and Afridi hitting the bowlers all over Karachi (from Tariq Road to Lalukhet), while giving extra batting practise to Danish Kaneria, who will finally get a place to shine and at the end of the day, will be able to differentiate between the handle and the bat.
Phainko, kumbukhton, aur andey phainko. Dekh lena, eik din Danish ko balla pakarna aajaye gaa, phir sub mill kay royengey kay yaar itni dair sey chance kyon diya becharay ko?
:D

Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand...
new day , fresh pitch....bowlling is alwayz faster in morning if u havent noticed in last 2 days....if our batsmen can stick on the ground for only 4-5 overs, then i think we will have the upper hand ;)

Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand...
n e 1 who feels we r out of the woods is fooling themselves, this match reminds me somewhat of kolkata last yr, we were in excellent position to chase on last day and win that match, only 2 collapse! our batsmen have to play sensible and responsible cricket!
Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand…
Regarless of the final result, on several occasions against India, we have seen our batting crumbling from a perfectly comfortable position.
Last year at Calcutta during the 2nd test, after a perfect partnership between yousuf and younis we collasped and eventually lost the match.

In the classic encounter at Chennai in 99, we collapsed in the 2nd innings and eventually managed to win by 12 runs

In another match which resembles so much with this match in 1999 during Asian test Championship, we collapsed again in the 2nd innings and lost our last 6-7 wickets under 50 runs. Luckily we won that match as well with no one sitting in Eden gardens except the Police force to witness a famous victory.

Lets hope that we can survice the 3rd day without major hiccups. Once we have a lead of 500+ at the end of day 3, than we can surely be cinsidered favourites, Inshallah.
Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand…
pakistan declares at the end of the day at 750-2.
then we bowl bindoos out for 23 runs. 
naw, I HOPE pak bats out the day and get a lead of about 400 and than turn it over to our bowlers to get them out in 2 days.
Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand...
well ^^ well Atlanta,, 400 Runs with 180 overs... its like 2.2 RR.. very optismistic indeed.
Re: A lead of 180 and 8 wkts in hand…
Your wish has almost came true, pak made more then 500 runs, lets see when they declare though.
