There are far better judges in Pak team to weigh in their chances of whether to go for a win or not.

Who's showing false bravado? Smith set Australia a gettable target in 2005/06 in order to try and draw the series. Australia got the runs and the Saffies lost 2-0, but Smith was roundly applauded by all for giving it a go. Any person would expect a team to try and win in the situation the 'stanis are in today. Sure, if they lose 2 or 3 quick wickets, shut up shop, but at least give it a go. You seem to want your team not to try?

Jeez, I am beginning to think you are a closet Smith fan.

Well it was a good declaration, just that Haydos and Punter absolutley mulleted the Saffie bowlers.

Younis and Yousuf batting for their averages with a test to be won and a series saved. Embarassed

Aye taccy - madness but not unexpected.

Having said that, if Pak hold off for a draw with a few overs to go, Kalllis should get his arse kicked for his pathetic batting yesterday.

by tac Fri 12 Oct 2007, 10:09

Yeah, but the Saffies didn't need to win, just use up time. And there's noone better at slow runs than Jacquie baby.

Didn't SA score something like 3 runs in 7 overs at one point of time?

by JGK Fri 12 Oct 2007, 10:15

Still - if the Safs were going to declare anyway they may as well have had as many runs on the board as possible or given themselves more time. They did have 5 wickets in hand after all.

Oh well, all set up for an Inzi special in his last innings.

by tac Fri 12 Oct 2007, 10:17

You can't expect Kallis to give up his red ink for the team.

Stupid comment. A lead of 450 and over 4 sessions would win most matches.

Aye - he didn't do it in the SCG match where Smith declared and they needed to win to save the series so you wouldn't expect it here.
