Kool. But I have a feeling this will be tough for Indians unless Kumble delivers.
PS: This could be good for those who have Indian bowler or Pakistani batsmen as trump. Sorry to those who have Sachin as trump. :D
Zaheer Khan is no longer available to bowl. Well well well..
If Pak's top order fails this time, they will have no one to blame but themselves. We need atleast 2 of the top 5 to make 100+.
What?? 
What happened??
On the flip side... if India fails to win this match, I'd feel sorry for Indian bowlers... who'd end up bowling for more than 3 days non-stop. But nothing to take away from them, they bowled remarkably well, considering the pitch did not give them much help on day 3, atleast.
I dunno. He bowled one over and then went off the ground. The commentators (not CricInfo 
but real life jeetay jaagtay commentators) mentioned that he will not bowl anymore.

SpeciallY Pathan.There is nothing for fast bowlers. ok..medium pacers.
Irfan's first over was weird. I don't think the batsman touched a single ball. All deliveries were out side the off-stump. So, un-Pathan like. I wonder if he is taking classes from our Shoaib Akhtar on how to bowl a useless over.

well as i said in one of my earlier posts that if pak lose 6 to 8 wickets by the end of third day, pak. will lose the test match. Now that pak has lost 6 wickets, i think we will not be able to save the match. And again it really does not matter if we manage to save the follow on but lose all the wickets by lunch or say one hour after lunch, because india can bat real fast and set a target of 400 plus to be achieved in 120 overs...and i dont see our battin to survive for 120 overs playin on a 5-day old pitch......this pitch could be a nightmare on fifth day. i am sure with so much heat and pitch already devoid of any sort of moisture, a lot of cracks will develop by the end of fourth day...not good for us...not good at all...
[/QUOTE]
well well......i already expected that......match is going exactly the same way i predicted....pak lost 6 wickets on 3rd day and got a follow on fourth morning and now it will so difficult for them to save this mathch because wicket will be turning a lot especialy on fifth day.........i really doubt they can save it....lets hope for the best..........

How was 2nd over?
Irfan's second over was much better as he made the batsman play.
Balaji's next over was quite dangerous. Taufeeq is looking extremely tense, and its probably just a matter of time, before he is out. He survived a very confident shout for LBW. Umpire is probably compensating for the sins of first innings.
Both batsmen are very tentative. Imran is slightly better.
They are just trying to survive the next 10 mins.. till lunch.
Amazing over by Pathan..He is swinging the ball away from the batsman..Imran farhat looked very confused!
I can feel for my indian friends how they felt when Wasim Akram was on attack.Ofcourse you can multiply their pain by 1000
taufeeq and farhat playnig as if they were sent to see off the final overs of the day… 
sorry dint realize its almost time for lunch…
Pathan's figures so far :
3-3-0-0

Oh...you are awake.
First real positive shot by Imran. Cover drive off Balaji. Four.
Tendulkar should bowl the last over before Lunch ;)
