6/319 now. Kalu out for 1, Kaneria takes his second wicket.

New Ball not taken yet it seems, although Shoaib bowling with a lot of fire .Good to see the Rawalpindi express fired up.

Ladies and gentlemen , We've got a great match in the making ...

Shoaib Malik in action this time ........

7/330 Vaas out for 4. Just how much more Jayasuriya can eke out with the tail remains to be seen.
Lead currently 309 and almost certain to finish under 350 .

On this pitch, Pakistan still 60/40 favourites if lead under 350 IMO.

8/337 Herath out for 5. Kaneria picks up number 3. Jayasuriya has just hit another 4 , so its 8/341 lead 320. Would be surprised if it makes it over 340.

Jayasuriya's career stats are not that great, with only 13 hundreds in 92 tests and 156 innings. yet he has about 6000 runs to his credit.

Well Everytime he has to make an insulting remark to Indian fans, he refers to them as 'Mangolians' and now he is pretending to be so innocent. :-O
He's been doing it since he started.

Insults people then denies he has done.

A stand of 54 from 62 balls so far, and Fernando has used 16 balls of those for no runs!

i havent seen any of this innings, but it looks to me suspiciously like one of the greatest innings of all time...

SL all out 439.

Jayasuriya out last for 254 off 347 balls with 33 fours and 4 sixers, just when it seemed he might carry his bat through . Absolutely brilliant knock. :clapping: :clap:

Pak target 419 .

Huh , Offcourse "What if India had Shoaib Akhtar " , He was'nt even gonna make to any regional team ... Huh Huh .......
And have you got any idea , how many times Shoaib has bowled out the opposition's top order . I rate him 2nd best in the world after Harmison .. Try to ask any one not from ""Mongolia", they are gonna rate him high for sure .. Yeah for you obviously "Agarkar has more spark and killer instinct in his hmmmm Eyes"..
i seriously have no clue what your talking about, for whatever reasons the country 'mongolia' seems to tickle you is not understandable to any sane person.
you rate him however high you want to, i dont really care, id pick mcgrath,harmison,pollock, gillespie,kaspa over akhtar. as far as the "he wasnt going to make any regional team is concerned", i recommend that you read my posts instead of coming up with such rubbish in the future.

First of all in Last 5 years, Shoaib has played only 1 away test against the teams you mentioned in Lords against England and 1 test is no way to judge his consistency. And you can't compare Vaas to Shoaib, they are two diffeerent type of bowlers. Vaas should be compared to Pollock,Mcgrath etc whereas Shoaib can be compared to Harmison, Lee, Bond, Gillespie etc. You do the comparison and tell us if he is better than everyone in that list or not.

And trust me I am not telling this after looking at his stats, I have seen him bowl in last couple of years and I know how devastating he can be.
i dont know why there is a need to filter out the series in australia, it happened after when he had started to make an impact at the international level. ive watched many of shoaibs games, and it seems to me that in many of them both home and away hes been rubbish for a large part of the game, then he comes back with one devastating spell usually after the opposition has already racked up several runs on the board. i know how devastating shoaib can be too, on his day he is far more devastating than pollock,mcgrath, harmison or anyone else, unfortunately his day happens about once every series.
as far as the comparisons go, theres no reason why shoaib shouldnt be compared to mcgrath,pollock etc. just because hes a different type of bowler it doesnt mean that he shouldnt be compared to them. the 2nd list in particular seems strange, why anyone would include lee as a world class bowler is simply ludicrous given his test average. bond isnt even playing ATM and is probably highly unlikely to play anywhere near his best.
and my point never was to say that shoaib is not world class, ive simply said that id pick mcgrath,pollock,harmison,gillespie and kaspa ahead of him, especially as my strike bowlers ahead of akhtar.

Fernando takes two wickets in successive overs. But by Golly, Imran Farhat, what an amazing striker of the ball !! 50 off 52 balls with 10 fours!!

Pakistan 2/82 Inzy 1 n.o. Fernando 2/10 off 4 overs.

3/86 now Fernando takes his 3rd wicket . Farhat LBW 53.

Inzy joined by Youhana. Key partnership for Pakistan . The experienced old firm at the wicket.
