We have a small lead, it is still a lead.
We thought day 3 would be important, well it was ... but nothing compard to the fourth day ... We have a good shot at increasing the lead. We need to add atleast couple hundred to make it interesting. Let the Pakistanis make the mistakes as they chase. Remeber this folks, they have MUCH lose. Much Much to lose. Hate to say this, but was glad that the fat headed officials forced Wasim Akram out of cricket. It would have been different if he was playing.
In any case, if we bat till tea and follow Upal's 3-3.5 over rate, we should get a 300 lead. Will be tough but hey, nothing in life is easy. Then the fun begins. The ball will turn as it has on the third day and if the pitch deteriorates (sp) on day five, Rafique and his part-time support will hold the key.
We seriously need a world class spinner. Rafique does great but I think he can use a partner. Any idea if the wickets assisting the pacers ????
