Solid defence by Pakistani batsmen today against Nazm ul McGrath, Robi ul Steyn and Shakib ul Warne.

Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh - 2nd Test - 2011
Wishful thinking... the way they played to get to 292 was pathetic to say the least. They're probably going to "defend"... against what? that I don't know.
Stumps - Day 3
Pak 292/3
Pakistan can still win this test provided they get a substantial 1st innings lead, say a score of 500+
Remember Bangla were 40 odd for 4 in the 1st innings, 2-3 sessions might be enough to dismiss them in the second innings

You dont require a quick fire 20 in tests.
Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh - 2nd Test - 2011
I am a little irritated myself that we batted like this against Bangladesh but perhaps we need to get used to the way this team has decided to play. They will ensure that Pakistan are always 'safe' first
With the Fog likely to cost the game another 40 overs over the next 2 days make it 5 sessions remaining or 140 overs at most.
Therefore Pakistan need to bat a lot quicker on day 4 than today's effort. I know it is wishful thinking but I am banking on Bangladesh's (proven) collapsability for a favourable result despite the slow scoring

What is highest team score of BD in test matches?
Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh - 2nd Test - 2011
488 vs Zimb

361 vs Pak
Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh - 2nd Test - 2011
Misbah will most likely play for a draw and win the series. That's what he did against NZ too.
Pakistan's only chance to' win' is to collapse tomorrow and get BD out early.
Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh - 2nd Test - 2011
I don't understand the criticism. Pakistan is scoring at slightly less than 3 per over which is quite acceptable in tests. The ball is turning and the morning conditions favor swing. Why should they take the opposition lightly? Their approach is to bat only once. If Pakistan gets a lead over 150 by the end of the day they can really put pressure on Bangladesh on the last day win the match and the series.
Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh - 2nd Test - 2011
Younis and Misbah at the crease. May they bring tears to friends and foes alike.
