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.

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
