That's a terrible declaration. Shameful actually. Since when is an individual hundred more important than winning a game?

Big points available for getting 400 in the second innings. This is due to a terrible points system.

Naqvi get his hundred up then get that declaration in :lol: 300 run lead is enticing to chase on the last day.
Very negative declaration 10 mins before lunch with 390 as the target... and the game drifts away pathetically with Kaia patting back deliveries from some bored spinners. That's my prediction. Hope I'm wrong!
Not a bad guess at all :lol:

Big dilemma here for chatara.

He can get to about 150 and declare, giving him a small shot at winning and leaving Nick, who is white, stranded just shy of 200,
But that would also mean Maruma, a black man, gets robbed of a century.

Big decision.

Oh ok. Sorry didn't know that. Still very negative, push for a win unless the pitch is a road of course.

I think that pitch is playing well, bowling them out in 2 hours is almost impossible I'd think. Tuskers could still win this if they get them all out in the next hour. Also unlikely. This sets up for NW and TM to get some big individual scores and make these guys resort to some seriously negative bowling until 4 pm where the fielding side has to grumpily shake hands. . One of those farcical ends you see very occasionally.

Yeah...

I think the second half will probably be true as well... Let's see: 43.4 - Ali to Kaia. No run.

I'm not sure how this 4 day works, but I'm sure there are extra overs and time available today, light permitting. It could have a surprise result, but highly unlikely, they'd need to get thru the Mountsineers batting line up very soon.

If they opt to declare it will certainly be interesting when they do that. Pretty sure they won't stiff NW.

If these two don't go out, they could make them bat until 5.20pm :lol:

Aliakbar is a different name isn't it? Maybe a play on words so it sounds like Allahu Akbar.
