India vs Pakistan, 3rd test, day 3 situation.

Filed under Article

Situation:- Pakistan are 518 runs ahead with two more days to play. Also when Indian batting managed only 235 in their first innings!!

I am realistic...I expect miracles!!

This was said by Wayne Dyer, an American psychologist who was brought up as an orphan and is called as "The father of motivation" by his fans. I am sure he is no where related to cricket as nearly every American is, at least he studied life quite a lot and above quotation must be true. And believing him, I still feel that India can win the test from here..

If you look at the series so far, Injamam won the toss for the first two times and chose to bat first. Third and last time in the test series, Dravid won the tCome on india.jpgoss and called Pakistan in to bat. So all the three times, Pakistan has made a score and India had to match it... They were 410 for just one wicket in reply to Pakistan's 679 in the first test. In the second test at Faisalabad, Pakistan must have though they have made as much runs to bowl out India twice when they made 588 in the first innings, but India made 603 - that too when Tendulkar made 14, Yuvraj made 4 and Sehwag made 31.

In this 3rd test so far, Pakistan made 245 and India nearly matched it by making 235, after so many hiccups. Now Pakistan has taken a lead of 518 at the end of Day three are Karachi, I wonder how much they need to make before they say - YES, THIS IS ENOUGH!!

The only factor I fear from is time. The pitch at National Stadium is as flat as the previous two have been, and we just need to have the time to chase down the target..Whatever it will be..
