What a legend this guy is. Needing 8 wickets in his last test match he has taken a 5-for in the first innings! Unbelievable stuff.

Really hope he can get three more and get to 800.
 
Probably will end up something like that! If I was the last man in I'd be inclined just to gift him a wicket to get to 800 but probably wouldn't happen that like.
 
Dravid needs to hurry up and hit. I love watching him play though, he has the best technique I've ever seen. Tendulkar needs to get a century here, to show why he's the world's greatest
 
Exactly, he's been in the team since age of 17! He is amazing with the new ball, line and length is very consistent. The way he swings it is incredible. Still, knowing Pakistan, he'll get banned for at the age of 25 for bowling a bad over :rolleyes:

then dedust all the ones taken with no balls and see how many he has :p
 
As much as it's an achievement nearly a quarter of those have been taken against poor test teams. I think 179 have come against zimbabwe and bangladesh etc..

Warne on the other hand took most of his wickets against the best teams and doesnt throw the ball.
 
LOLAussies out for 88 lol lol...i havent laughed so much...was pretty awesome watching the Pakistani bowlers...Asif back on form, Aamir showing that he could very well be the next Wasim Akram and Gul taking his 20/20 form into Test cricket...awesome just awesome bowlers we have.

Saying that i wouldnt be surprised if Pak batting collapses...its our weakest area and probably will be for some time until we get Younis and Yousef back...if they do come back that is. Afridi retired after the last test which was disappointing to say the least but i can see his issue in that he was reluctant to come back as his game doesnt suit the test arena...he cracked 31 off 12 balls or something ridiculous like that in the first test against the Aussies...we should have really won that but out batting was weak and undisciplined.

Hopefully we can snatch a win though in this test.

As for Murali...that guy is simply unbelievable and the game will miss him like Warne when he retired...i do hope the guy gets to 800 wickets though...what an amazing legacy that would be.
