Because pointing out that he's a mega FTB is hating on him and has everything to do with the kind of human being he is...lol. Stop being soft.

Irrespective of what happens, happy to see this effort from Azhar and Sami. This is what they are capable of as opening partners. Can't help but wonder what would have happened if they had better preparation for this series or if this series was played in March instead of November.

Starting off slowly made some sense. This current approach makes it seem like they're going for the draw which is silly when you're 1-0 down. To win this test they need 5 and a half runs an over which is gonna be hard.

Honestly can't remember 1 poster on here ever hating on Younis as a bloke. Many just happen to think he's not quite as good as his record suggests, rightly or wrongly.
I think everyone thinks he's a top human being though.
Exactly. I hate Ponting and Tendulkar but they're probably the two greatest since 1990 along with Lara. How someone is as a human being has nothing to do with their batsmanship FFS.

why you wouldn't go for a win when you're 1-0 down is beyond me

Rather odd that I'm the complete opposite. I've been championing his case for being ATG for ages now and think he's still underappreciated as a batsman, but also think he's a ****ing unprofessional, childish douchebag. His conduct when it comes to Pakistan's odi team selection has been embarrassing.

117-0. I am not even Pakistani and I am nervous as hell because I have no idea what this lot will do in the next 2 sessions.

They'll go for it in the final session at a run a ball. This us just them making sure NZ have no chance of winning and put them on the defensive.
Easier to take 10 wickets in a session than score 200 runs actually(both unlikely obviously). Horse has bolted for Pak.

I disagree, I think they could well be thinking what McMillan was suggesting & that's with wickets in hand looking at 150-160 from the last 20 overs. Not very likely, but that could well be their tactic. I don't think they've given it away.

Trouble is that there just isn't enough attacking batsmen in the Pakistani batting lineup IMO. Going at over 6 per over is very tough at this level.

Good ****ing luck. Anything above six in tests is nigh on impossible for any sustained period of time. They need to start going now if they want to win.
