Misbah with the fastest test match 50, only 21 balls

Misbah C Siddle B Smith 4 [2]
Well should have been
Instead 50 of 21 balls

PA 3/210 [49]
Khan failed 46[122] too slow considering the state of the game
Ali 72* [139]
Misbah 52*[21] unselfishly got the run rate up, well batted

[mal]

Clarke having a nightmare with the reviews. Doesnt call for a review when Marsh had Younus plumb and then reviews a stinker off Spudwell

I like the look of Marsh on these decks, Stump to stump I think he'll get a break through soon.

0/44[17]
0/19[7]
0/32 [12]
0/15[4]

MItchell Marsh and Shane Watson have something in common ?
Not taken a wicket in this Test series !!!

0/114 in his Test career so far
But he has been impressive
Only conceded 114 off 240 balls

Phillip Hughes denied Marsh his first wicket by grassing a catch

[Jim05]

Misbah with the equal fastest test century, lead out to 600

[dedja]

Pakis Declare with a 602 run lead

[stan]

They're taking the piss now ... FFS

Yep and why not. They have been all over us from day 1.

[DOC]

Well, the runs are of no concern. Have they batted too long?

[mal]

Ali kisses the turf reaching 100
Should be kissing the pitch

Gutsy declaration only 602 needed


Glen Maxwell keeps for Australia before Peter Neville

Batted themselves to a position where it's impossible to lose the series. They don't need to win this test, whilst they'd love to beat Australia, Every nation would but having the security of winning the series was clearly the aim.

[Jim05]

Well, the runs are of no concern. Have they batted too long?

We would need to show more backbone than we have so far on tour.
We still have to bat for over 4 sessions to save it

The pitch? Australia batted on it.

History would say they may be safe from a loss, but can we bat for 140ish overs.

Lets hope so.

Australia are certainly good enough to hold on for a draw, But will they? Who knows.

I still say pick your best glovesman first.
Neville made 80 odd in the shield and is by far the best glovesman in the country
