I said on day 1 that there was a good chance of a Pakistan victory, that they would declare after reaching 650 or so and putting India in around tea on day 2 (got those bits pretty well spot on).

That's all I was referring to.

Told ya. ;) Just because England got mauled by the Pakistan bowling attack on a relatively flat wicket doesn't mean they will do it to every team on flat wickets. Particularly since this wicket is even more flat and slower.

What's the bet on Pakistani bowlers getting a single Indian wkt today? :p

Wow, you were right, 403-0 (unless they come back on after taking the light. Seems unlikely).

Great effort by the Indian batsmen to score the way the have when faced with a mountainous total.

Sorry but I didnt think there was any thing 'great' in the batting effort of India or Pakistan in this test match. People were going gaga when Afridi and Akmal were making runs as well. Memories of Chris Gayle's knock and that India-Sri Lanka test match comes to mind.

In chess, when the opponents decide, a draw can be agreed upon. I think the same should hold good for test cricket. It is an option in the last hour of play. But why not in any period during the test match. Why have a dead rubber too after a series has been completed.

The Indian board was not able to accomodate a twenty20 charity match for Pakistan earthquake victims and proceeds of a limited overs match will go to them.

A twenty20 match or one dayer for charity would be much more interesting than cricket which will be played tomorrow.

Aw, come on. Lara's Quad-century wouldn't have exactly been scored a mine-field. Anyway, wonder how long, if Sehwag does jag the record, it will take Lara to snatch it back this time!

Just as an aside.

There are some people who deny (as if it matters) Dennis Lillee his rightful place as one of the greatest bowlers of all time because he went to Pakistan and faced wickets like this (confirmed yesterday by Imran on the Straight Drive show) and was moved to call Pakistan the 'graveyard of fast bowlers".

A bit better perspective of those figures after what happened at Lahore ?

Never mind the graveyard of fast bowlers, it's the graveyard of anyone unfortunate enough to hear "next over this end". Suggest someone picks eleven batsmen next time, bats first and makes Pakistan field for five days.

*Test record opening partnership. The FC record is 561 (Waheed Mirza/Mansoor Akhtar, Karachi Whites v Quetta at Karachi, 1976/77).

He went wicketless in 3(?) tests, didn't he ? Even Agarkar managed a wicket here :p ..

NEVER !!

Sehwag is far from it though. He is in line to become only the third batsman after Bradman and Lara to score two separated triple centuries in tests. If light permits AND he stays, he should have that by lunch.

I would like the opening record to beat the highest record for any wicket in tests.

The only people that deny the fact that Lillee is one of the greatest ever fast bowlers are those that have never seen him bowl.

Come on but we all know Agarkar is a far better bowler than Lillee :p
