Ponting and Clark peg far behind Pakistan
Ricky Ponting and Clark stand of over 300 runs peg behind Pakistan and now according to the situation it will be very difficult to save this test as Pakistan are already 4 down for 93 at the close of day 4.
Pakistan cricket coach Intikhab Alam has said that Pakistan could still win the third and final Test against Australia if senior players deliver some big knocks. Alam agreed that the hosts have placed themselves in a comfortable position by posting a huge first innings score, but expressed the hope that the Pakistani batsmen would reply solidly.
“It’s far from over.There are still four more days to go in this Test. It’s quite a flat wicket and I’m confident we will also score some runs here. What we need is a couple of big knocks from our seniorplayers and then anything can happen,” The News quoted Alam, as saying.
Replying to Australia’s mammoth total Pakistan were 54 for no loss till the reports last came in. Pakistan is looking to salvage some pride by winning the third Test to avoid a 3-0 whitewash in the series.
