Game very nicely in the balance. Asif to blow them away next innings and Sanga to ton up for the win.
Praveen Kumar scored 70*, and I believe Herath hit 80 odd in one of the trials. It's hardly the strangest thing to happen so far.

Sachin had a habbit of doing the same against Pakistan. Played out Akram,Younis and Akthar and then got out to Razzaq.

Rohit Sharma, WAG! Lovin this team. Giving others a false sense of hope by dropping FIP, then shattering their hearts. Hafeez needs to step up.
