well this is the third double century in a weeek, welll cricket is at its best, first a fighting one by VVS Laxman, then earlier in this test Match by Mathew Sinclair and then Yousuf Youhana, great battting display, an innnings without any chance, a tiering shot made him waste his wicket!
well Saqlain Mushtaq should be praised and he should be given the credit as he is consdered as a taile ender, agar ye out hota to line lag jaaati n YY wouldnt be able to get his higest total!
well the test match is definately a draw unlesss Pakistan comes out with a miracle by getting them out for cheap score!
Result unlikely hay guess.....sit bak and enjoy saqqi play his dream innings. I fancy, had Youhana stayed there, he might'had a great chance to have a shot at LARA's 375 figure.
Draw hona hay. Its all going to be down to Hamilton. Hope they produce better wicket.
well nervous moments in cricket, lekin finallly he gets it!
208.5 Astle to Saqlain Mushtaq, one run, full on the legs, glances it fine down to Tuffey at fine leg, and there it is! a huge cheer and Saqlain jogs through, kneeling to the ground to pray in thanks, his wife is most happy on the boundary! his maiden Test and first-class century comes up in 289 balls, 11x4, 1x6
208.4 Astle to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, props forward, defending away towards Fleming at cover again
208.3 Astle to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, props well forward, defending away towards Sinclair at cover point, still on 99!
now a shot of Saqlain and his wife on teh big screen together, Saqlain grining, but his wife is more than serious!
well that was expected, pakistan would have started the day by bowling, but it was only Saqlain's century which made them to bat another 8ovrs, well now that he has got it, so they will be trying to get in get them out as sooon as posssible!
arggh match is drawn..what happened to pakistan bowling which was considered to bowl out the side twice in 50 overs.. No one seemed to be aggressive in this test match..WE need to strenghten our bowling lineup somehow before its too late as we all are aware of our unpredictable batting..

lol@ Saqlain grining, but his wife is more than serious... he took a lil too long to complete his century... huh only made 5 runs in an hour on 4th day of the test !!!!
59.4 Patel to Mohammad Akram, OUT: quicker ball pushed through, takes the front pad and deflects away to slip, a huge appeal for lbw and is met in teh affirmative by umpire Watkin ... OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
