What an awesome performance by middle & low order of Pakistan batting line up. Being behind 204 in the first innings, and again being 10-3 in the second innings. Attack was led by Inzamam with 86 & Youhana with 68. Kamran Akmal & Abdul Razzaq did wonders with (109 & 71 ) when we were 241-6, no one could have imagined the result that we are seeing now as Pakistan have managed to fight from an impossible position to declare at 496-9 in their second innings. This is Pakistans highest team total on the Indian soil with Kaneria being the first Pakistani leg-spinner to capture 5 wickets in an innings in India.

India needing 293 to win with 25 overs left in the last days play.

A job well done Pakistan Team. Totally Committed Performance (Y) (Y)

I dont think australia are any good any more either, even new zealand are a challenge for them. 

new zealand, a challenge ? obviously you didn't hear about the 5-0 series white wash of them in the one dayers by australia. the only game they challenged us was in the first game, the rest were easy wins

  Also dont use the word paks as it is offensive to some people.

why not it's just like calling the british brits. or australians aussies

I was actually talking about the test match thats happening right now. Plus it depends in which way you actually use the word paks, if you use it as an abbreviation for pakistanis then it is totally acceptable.

It would be nice if we had won, we had the upper hand through most of the match. Good for Pakistan. It was a great game to watch.

Loooking forward to the next one.

OT: Has everyone in the UK been able to subscribe to Sony TV to watch the Cricket?

10/3 in the second innings wasnt as bad if you consider that the opening pair and the one down batsman of Pakistan are novices. I wouldnt call it an "impossible" situation because:

a. It is India, not famous for bowling out their opponents.

b. The pitch wasnt a "turner" and did not detereorate. Hence pitch on Day 5 was same as Day 1.

Agreed. :yes:

The test match is finally over and the result is a draw. I think Pakistan played better overall

Played better ? India had a 200+ run lead in the first innings, Pakistan was 10/3 in the second innings and literally played to save the match. :whistle:

India should have won but pakistan lower-middle order and the tail batted really well. They were leading for 4 out of the 5 days and when a team does that it should win the match but again congrats to pakistan for pulling off an unexpected draw. Can't wait for the second test. It should have a lot more atmosphere because they're playing at Eden Gardens in front of 100,000+ people. I think that Khan should be dropped and Harbajan should take his place. Nothing wrong with the batting (apart from ganguly, but you can't really drop the captain).

Qasim are you trying to be funny with your postsor are you being serous? i hopes it's the former.

Also i heard that Balaji got fined for excessive appealling. I didn't really see him appeal too much but then i didn't wake up at 4.30 to start watching.

it's very popular in the West Indies and it's farily popular in South Africa but it is losing the crowds.

Yes, 30% of his match fees. :p

Dont know why? I dint feel, it was excessive appealing.

And yes, harbajan should be brought instead of Zaheer khan. Can't wait...

Tomorrow it starts again. I love the eden gardens, seen quite a few matches there. Fantastic ground.

Re: Balaji, there was some excessing appealing but come on, he was off injured for a year so they should cut him some slack but a great performance from him nonetheless.

Yeah I heard they were going to play three seamers also. Should be interesting what team they pick. We'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Its going to be an early morning tomorrow.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
