Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test, Sydney Jan 3-7, 2010
I think the situation is graver than it looks and the table can be easily overturned. The wicket has eased up considerably, and if Australia ends up making 450-500 runs in the second innings, Pakistan will be left with a target of around 250-300 on a fifth day wicket. That will be near impossible to get in the fourth innings.
Australian batsmen will be looking to make amends, and couple with an easier wicket, 450-500 runs is not out of question. I am keeping my fingers crossed. After the first day, I had hoped for an innings defeat, but the 200 runs lead may not amount to much.
