Ali is key here for Pakistan, I am sure Misbah will be fighting with all he has and so will Younis, but they can not do it all by themselves.
Smith did exactly that twice in their home summer, first tests against NZ and first test against Pak. I thought it pointless then, just as it would be pointless now.This is why I like Clarke and rate him as a captain. He would have declared a while back and would trust his bowlers to get the job done. Smith on the other hand is very risk averse.
umps felt like it, obviouslyWhy has the ball been changed and why the 5 run penalty?
Timing-wise this declaration was almost identical to Sydney 2012, so not really sure where you get that from. Clarke declares early when he feels he might run out of time, there's no chance of that here.This is why I like Clarke and rate him as a captain. He would have declared a while back and would trust his bowlers to get the job done. Smith on the other hand is very risk averse.
yawnHow has clarkes team been doing on the rankings?
Zipper is what I'm readingPlz explain,
Scratching? Bottle top?? Biting???
Result would be overturned at a later date anyway.Smith should deny it and storm off imo. Pakistan win the match. Greatest comeback ever.
esp. when you can just throw the ball into the groundNot seen it but amazing anyone is that stupid to do it these days with so many cameras at the grounds.
