Pakistan needs a big innings, says Waqar
MULTAN, Nov 14: Fast bowling legend Waqar Younis termed loss of Younis Khan’s wicket in closing moments as troublesome but added Pakistan can still fight back provided a big innings is played by at least one batsman. “Fourth day’s first session play would suggest what shape the game is going to take,” Waqar told reporters after the close of third day’s play on Monday at Multan Cricket Stadium.
At least one big innings was required, be it Inzamam, Muhammad Yousuf or Hasan Raza, said Waqar.
He said after losing advantage to England on second day Pakistan staged a commendable fight back on third day but loss of Younis in the closing moments can add to hosts’ troubles.
Waqar said present situation suggested that the Test would yield result but it could also be a drawn game if Pakistan continued to bat for the whole day on fourth day.—APP
