Have to agree with you there. Quite negative cricket by Pakistan but it is understandable with their history of collapses. It takes just one wicket to go and the rest come tumbling down and that too within a handful of overs. On their day Pak can lose 7 to 8 wickets (or even all of them) within 10-15 overs. And they can do that consistently.
More chance of getting Corrin to worship John Barnes than that, think of the potential risk to his average of getting out.
Well put...those who are criticizing Pak negative tactics should get a reality check the team has had atleast one collapse every inning no way was Younis,Misbah going to leave the game to walking wicket Umer Akmal and debutant Adnan who has a FC avg of 22.Had Aamer and kamran Akmal been there down the order they may have thought about it.
Anyways decent result for us stilll in the series
AWTA....always have advocated that Younis is one man who would never compromise his loyalty to the country. Irrespective of his batting which is still better then the 3 you mentioned by miles, just the mere fact that he puts the country first is reason enough for him to lead the team....
Precisely why you don't know why we are so happy with this draw.
Just goes to show, Smith does occasionally know what he's talking about. With 150overs, a dead pitch, and Paul frigging Harris bowling, I wouldn't risk anything under 400.
SA must be ****ting their pants now because he is back....
yeah but they were in no mood to chase it.
Eventhough I did not watch the game but I am told YK wanted it but Misbah was happy to shut up shop.I think it was justified had Umer been batting like last year with Kamran following they may have risked it but not with this line up also no Aamer who could hold an end if couple of wickets fall.
