Dhobi-Bhai 588 is suboptimal on this pitch and considering indian batting line up. If they score runs quikly like they did last time, and pitch deteriorates on 4th,5th day, we could even be in danger of loosing.

Rana’s shoulder injury sounds more like an excuse. Woolmer’s comments indicate that Rana might’ve played but they preferred Razzaq over him on this pitch. PCB routinely justifies unexpected exclusions of players from the playing eleven with injuries.

"Akhtar trying to make eye-contact".
This same (commentator) guy completely turned deaf ears to the constant eye-contacts Zaheer, RP Singh and Co. were trying to make with Pakistani batsmen during almost the entire first innings, while being completely ignored at the other end like nothing happened.
The first opportunity came through, and well, well, well......
