How many more runs does Inzi require,

1) To overtake Miandad as Pak's leading test runs scorer,

2) To maintain 50+ test average.

He needs another test or 2.

Too many

Dumb way to go. Just for the record, I believe the answer would have been 3.

by SG Fri 12 Oct 2007, 10:43

Damn, that was such a tame end for Inzi.

Now Malik and Yousuf would be under a lot of pressure.

That was such a ridiculous stroke for a man of his experience.

Wheres Mak?

He told me the idea that Pak don't play spin that well was a fallacy!

Bwah Inzi played a retarded shot, i didn't say we were the worst as some people were saying, just good enough.

I think Pak have played Harris way too defensively, same mistake committed by Indian bats during their test series against SA.

Yup completely agree with you SG, for some stupid reason we carry this mentality against most spinners.

by SG Fri 12 Oct 2007, 11:00

Mak,

This bug of giving utmost respect to every spinner has hit Indian bats as well, who in the past were second to none to use their feet to counter any spinner.

Sadly, the best players of spin now have been just left as moderate players of spin.

by SG Fri 12 Oct 2007, 11:02

And its tea.

by Makaveli Fri 12 Oct 2007, 11:05

So we need 175 in 25 overs? we should go for it, no harm in trying bacuse there is no point in drawing we'll lose the series.

Thanks Inzi, you'll be missed.

Always more difficult that in looks. SA can just bowl into the rough outside leg stump with 8 fielders on the boundary if it gets tight.

by taipan Fri 12 Oct 2007, 12:00

Looks like a draw now

by tac Fri 12 Oct 2007, 12:01

Yep. Was looking exciting this morning but Pakistan weren't prepared to put any pressure on the Saffies and chose instead a tame draw. Phurt.

by JKLever Fri 12 Oct 2007, 12:03

147 off 17 overs.

You might have thought they would have burned a couple more wickets before playing for the draw

Neither side have really tried to win this match.

by tac Fri 12 Oct 2007, 12:14

Spot on, JGK. From the third day it's looked destined for a draw with both sides happy not to lose. Can't understand it.

by JKLever Fri 12 Oct 2007, 12:17

I can understand SA's reluctance to not leave themselves open being 1-0 up but don't really get what PAK are playing at
