[Y2Eel]

Okeefe with the first wicket

 

[TheParraboy]

I'm not totally sure on the figures but I would suggest that the likes of Bradman, Lara, Ponting, Tendulkar, Miandad, Sobers, Gilchrist, Barrington, Hutton, Chappell, Zaheer, Richards, Richards, Richardson, Greenidge, Laxman, Sangakarra, Crowe, Hammond, Worrell, Weekes, Inzamanun, Hayden, Waugh, Walters, Amla, Haynes, Border, Kallis, Dravid, Or Gavaskar would have featured in a lot of those tests that didn't see a team chase over 300 in the fourth innings.

As for the 3 teams who have scored 350 or more to win in the 4th innings? I'll get back to you.

Mate you left out Asif Iqbal, Flower, Hussey, Ponsford and Rob Key

 

[TheParraboy]

lunch day 4: Pak 1/116, lead by 267

Heres a hot tip, we wont be chasing anything under 400

Id be surprised and very relieved if we got a draw out of this

Pakistan to go 1-0, nothing surer

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pakistan lead by 285 runs with 9 wickets remaining.

Pakistan need to score about 500 more. We've got Dave Warner remember?

I suppose if you have to pick one player who could score a quick fire triple test ton, on a 5th day sub continent deck that will have cracks in it larger than the grand canyon. To win a test match that would go into the archives as the greatest innings on the planet known to man kind that leads his side to a victory, then yeah I guess it would have to be Davey

Pakistan beware

 

[TheParraboy]

tea day 4

Pakistan 1/231 lead 382

declare when Younis gets his 2nd ton of the match I reckon (currently on 67)

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Whakistan 1/231, a lead of 382 at tea day 4. Shehzad 128. I'd say they'll go for a bit of a hit after tea and send us in for a short spell before stumps.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Sarfraz promoted up the order. They're going for the hit and declare.

 

[TheParraboy]

surely they declare when Younis gets his ton? currently 79*

2/254 lead 405

 

[madunit]

Gee some variety in our bowling stocks would be helpful, especially given the lifeless deck.....

oh wait, that's already been discussed

 

[madunit]

I reckon Paki's will push for a 450 run lead and try and declare as close to the end of the day's play as possible.

We don't seem too good when pressured to chase a big score, or to last an entire day to save a test.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Is Marsh a test allrounder or a test number 6?

Question marks must be over Siddle.

Good to see Murali's work with our spinners paying off.

If only they could bend their arms but I suppose he couldn't teach that.

 

[Mr Angry]

Younis, all class...

 

[chigurh]

Geez Younus, what a superstar

We really didn't look like taking a wicket - if one of the most inexperienced test bowling lineups comes out and rolls us its gonna be highly embarrassing for both our batsmen and bowlers

 

[madunit]

Younis is brutally dominating

 

[AlwaysGreen]

SOK with a century in each innings on debut.
