Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
That decision might get back fired today ! I am sure they would have gone through multiple scenarios before coming up with the decision. England at the moment is struggling to contain or apply pressure on Pakistani batters. Pakistan only need 174 runs and they have only lost 3 wickets. In my opinion it is far easy now for Pakistan to win this test match than England.
The only problem with Pakistan team is that they are unpredictable. They are in very strong position to win the game but in next few overs they have the ability to give this test match to England. Giving a target of 344 on such road is not a wise move IMO. Runs are coming here quite easily and it wont be easy to defend a target of 344 here. Lets see what happens in next 2 session.
Totally agreed as for the current conditions here, I am damn sure the match is the favor of a draw maybe if Pakistan plays well can win the match but the picture is not ended yet, Let's see. Defending that total on this pitch is not easy as Watche said. Day 5 played an important role and its till ongoing.
