Should Pak declare now with a lead of 519 runs or bat till tea and rub into the Aussies. I am more interested in humiliating the Aussies than winning this match. We have been on the receiving end too many times from them.
I strongly think we shouldnt declare yet. Atleast one more hour. Let it be really painful for them

I'd say play till TEA. Rub it in. Have fun. Smack around. Specially after Warner's attitude towards Ahmed Shahzad and towards Misbah right now (which was mentioned by someone on cricinfo commentary). 600-650 ka target doo ...mar mar ker dumba bana doo. We should put so much on board that they dont even THINK about chasing it. I am sure no matter what warner WILL go after the target

But somehow Warner finds it appropriate to chirp in Misbah's ear after he has hit Smith for 22 runs. Talk about gentleman." Well, it was a friendly chirp by the looks of it.,

I do not think that would be wise. Wicket is flat, and Australia could go for draw easily. Longer the time (and overs) left to bowl them out, more the chances to get them out.
12.00pm Pakistan scored 149 in that session, and their lead is now 519. **Misbah and Azhar left their gloves and helmets to dry in the sun as they walked back to their dressing room, and this probably means Pakistan will bat on a little longer after lunch and drain whatever remains to be drained of Australia’s bowlers and fielders.
:k:

I do not want to give Aussies 5 sessions. To much time. That means they have to score only 100 per session. It will still be really hard but you never know. You need a guy making 200 and a guy making 100. If Pakistanis can do it, Aussies can too. PAkistan should just take Aus Win out of equation even if that means little less chance of enforcing Pakistan’s win
Misbah is one of the two players in Pakistani team (Yunus is other) whose first class average is over 50, and anyone whose batting average is over 50 has to be good player. So, his ability to bat should not be questionable.
You are right about sessions and overs, as 150 more overs to go. But highest fourth inning score to win was (I think) 418 by WI, and team only passed 5 times to win chasing more than 400 runs. Anyhow, anything is possible in cricket. But if Misbah gets scared of giving target with enough time left, then they should have made Australia follow on, what they did not.
Dean Jones rubbing it in for Aussies ! LOL Just saw it on his Twitter profile
hahahah … Good one Dino ! :k:
Bohat Shadeed need aa rahi hai but I dont want to sleep before Pakistan’s declaration. i want to see Australian lambs slaughtered all over the ground
Aaj itna ker doo k next time jub Australinas Pakistan ki chitrol laga rahey hoon tu hum keh sakeen k** yaad hai na Misbah aur Younus nai tumharey saath ki kia tha**
