The legacy of Ashley Giles and his negative line. Except.....it's the 'victim' who's pulling off this effect.

Whatever be the target, Sehwag and Gambhir should counter-attack and keep on hitting and running. There's always Dravid as cover at number three, followed by Sachin.

Irfan's nightmarish series continues....

Arjun Dude, do you know that your repeated rantings are annoying at best. Do you know that None of the Indian selectors are reading this website.

Anyway, If Pakistan are serious about a win, they need to go out with guns blazing on all cylinders. Don't care about wickets, enough of them are stashed away in reserve to pull rearguard stonewalling if needed. Score 150 odd in two hours and have a dig at India for a couple of overs.

Which is not happening. Improvisation, anyone? Pakistani batsman are notoriously bad against this type of balling. Even the likes of Rawl Lewis screwed the whole batting line-up on a veritable ditch in Sharjah.

HUH? Are you following the game? Even the commentator's are talking about the lack of urgency in the Pakistani camp. Yasim Hameed is basically blocking every single ball pitched to him by Kumble and trying to steal a single on the legside of Tendulkar.

I dunno what they are waiting for, cos Indians are not going to take these spinners off and lets us of the hook; we need some improvising and fast.


Edit: Younis Khan woke up.

Edit No 2: This is depressing, very very very depressing. What the hell are they thinking? Hameed should be axed for this selfish toomfoolery. Or maybe I am being the ingnorant drunk here in thinking they should hurry up and this actually is a timeless test.

Hameed seems to be really struggling to get the ball away. Pakistan need to add another 70 or 80 runs at least to manage an overnight declaration and be safe.

Dude, Pakistan is NOT in a winnable position at the moment. They need to WIN this game. To win this game they need to have enough runs on the board and time to RUN THROUGH an Indian line-up which contains some of the best batters on the planet, and that with a bowling line-up which has been termed the worst ever to grace the Indian soil. And what have they on the board right now? A paltry 270? Heck, this wouldn't even whet Sehwag's appetite. The way they are going right now, their is no chance in world they can increase the lead to 400 by day's end. And no one will feel safe with less than 400.

There is no attitude, no devotion. Batsman are making half-arsed attempts at playing stupid shorts and banking on their luck to get them some runs. Have you seen Yasir bat? How can you condone such an attitude. Such apathy, no care for team's concern.

I haven't felt this disgusted by the Pakistani team for a lonnnnnng time. Not since WC 99.
