*Official* Pakistan in Australia

Just that if you get skittled for another 30 odd runs sometime soon. That leaves Pakistand a lot of time to chase ~400 or they can just play time. If he hadn't declared you wouldn't have to worry about scoring runs now, you could be 500 ahead.
The sheer amount of time left **** a team too. So can having a target within reach. Works both ways.

Probably regrets the Australian batsmen playing absolute trash. Is anyone else getting sick of these Australian batting collapses? Am all for dropping North if that would help stop them.

Haha! Finally you admit it.

I like this annoying tactic by Pakistan.

However, Australia would take this position any day. Obviously, Ponting would prefer being 166/0 than 166/6, but really in the end, it doesn't matter how many wickets you've lost - if your aim was 400 runs, they're going to get it most likely so in the end, it doesn't matter.

I loved Ponting's declaration, even if it ends up backfiring (which is unlikely).

Lets see.......if Pak can get Aus under 200 today...and have a target of 400 to chase more or less...argh...with that batting i don't know.....but still would be interesting...

The only way Pakistan will get this total is if Younis Khan comes out to bat in a face mask of the number 3.

The only real way is if Yousef and the two Akmal's go guns.

LOL at Greig 'saying this is a cold stone certainty'

What is he going to do if he gets it? Think he might actually explode
