**Official** India v Pakistan

[cameeel]

depends on the state of the match, pakistan are cruising, so it makes sense to put in the bigger hitter

 

[cameeel]

Do you people think 550 is a viable target at this point? If so, then will it be enough?

they should be aiming for more than 550 if khan stays in

 

[shaka]

They will probably bat till well into the final session of the day, before any discussion about declaring.

What big hitter? He took 37 balls to score 5 runs.

Difficult to say. I would say it wont be. Pakistan need to make India follow on. From whatever one has seen of this track so far, 350 doesnt seem too big a score for this Indian side on this wicket. Depends on the first breakthrough. A quick couple of wickets and then good bowling by the spinners and India could come under some pressure.

Draw seems more likely outcome but Pakistan might get into a stronger position if they bowl really really well and hold everything.

Palak = Spinach, Aaloo = Potato

aaloo-palak is a sub-continental dish very popular in some areas. Not to mention it has a rather mangy outlook and pretty flat taste.

Suffice to say I prefer Saag.

oh, that clears it up.... i think

sorry, the question post was supposed to be in another thread

Younis' 250 is up, what an innings.

Cricinfo makes things sound even worse for INdia:

Harbhajan Singh to Younis Khan, one run, cut away through the point
region, Sami moves to 249!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

here's hoping that he manages a triple hundred.

 

[Beleg]

Will he be allowed to go for the 300? Or will they pull a Javed Minadad?

 

[Sehwag309]

I think 600 woul dbe 1st priority

Can't see him being denied it, especially when Pakistan clearly need every run they can get so they can force India to follow-on.

 

[Sehwag309]

I think YK will get it, they dont seem in the mood to Declare, and doesnt look like it

Unless he gets out or 10, Jack and Queen

I think gettting India in for a few overs tonight is more of a priority.

1 or 2 wickets and the game is well and trul set up.

 

[SJS]

I think they will declare in 15 minutes. Leaving India half an hour to play.

 

[Unattainableguy]

How many runs do you need to lead by in order to make the other team follow on?
