Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
138/4 a lead of 202 runs.
From cricinfo:
A slow, but an immensely helpful stand this one for Pakistan.** A score of over 200 has been chased just once at the SS**C. Misbah had gotten bogged down for a while, but he’s put that behind him now. Both these guys are searching for some form, and have stepped up at the right time.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
At tea 168/4. lead of 234.
Pak 185/4 (lead of 251). Another 100+ w’d be really nice
Ehsan bhai my ‘dandey ka asar’ theory is working 
mashallah
I sometimes bemoan the attitude of cricinfo - not professional at all. Call it bias, jealousy or whatever. Now that Misbah and Malik (touchwood) are grinding it out and playing well, it is not even one of the three main headlines. But if Pakistan collapse again I can bet you it will be a headline…
Same thing I noticed in the last test. When Fawad and Younis were going nicely in that 200 partnership, Pakistan’s progress was mentioned as a subheadline…cricinfo guys ko saanp kyon soongh jata hai?
Ponting’s anger at english tactics on the final day of the first test was still one of the main headlines (as if it was such an important news) even though the test had finished 2 days ago.
But as soon as Herath and Kulasekara triggered that spectacular collapse it was back as one of the main headlines
How come
- Koertzen bemoans players’ attitude
- England can overcome injuries…is this news really?
- West Indies players end strike
are more important news than Pakistan’s progress today

kher koi baat nahin. issi liye touchwood or mashallah kaha tha
Can't blame Misbah because he did bat sensibly today. When I left home for work this morning we were 89/4 and I thought we were doomed again but a target of around 300 atleast gives us a fair chance of winning. 350 would be really nice though
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
190/5
Misbah gone,
Pak lead by 256 runs.
GA cricinfo is run by you know who so the bias is obvious. I have noticed it many times
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
236/5
Lead of 302. 
Malik 79 not out.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
261/5
Lead of 328 runs
Malik 91 not out.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
awesome innings by malik under pressure 
i just wish it had come earlier in the series 
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
293/5
Malik 105 not out.
The more Pakistan’s position strengthens the more it slides down on cricinfo’s main page. The guys in Bangalore must be having a terrible time digesting the news. Shame on them.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
Close of play 300/5
Lead of 366
Malik 106 not out
Akmal 60 not out.
Why should they be doomed about Pakistan's performance?
Why should they be doomed about Pakistan's performance?
Look at cricinfo and you tell me?
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
^Yes,I did look in.The first news is Malik ton puts Pakistan on top.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
Ehsan bhai… its nothing new.. Pakistan always gets the less importance on Cricinfo.. Right now, Pakistan’s match has only like 3 links/article, whereas others have many… So Ehsan bhai, let’s ignore it :)..
MASHA ALLAH Pakistan did wonderful today… Danday kaa asar saaf nazar aayaa…
^Yes,I did look in.The first news is Malik ton puts Pakistan on top.
Yup you just ignored what I had said. Let me explain:
Proves my point. Now if Pakistan had collapsed it would have been headline there.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
^ O.k...I got it.....
Yes you are right,Ehsan.
Re: Pak V SL - Third Test Match
Mashallah, good recovery by Malik, Misbah and Akmal. A lead of 350+ is already good enough but batting till lunch and another 80-100 runs will almost guarantee Pakistan victory.
Just looked at cricinfo top stories again. Pakistan’s recovery is listed 6th from the top!!!
