Mohammad Yousuf has cranked up the tension with Pakistan's selection committee by questioning its refusal to allow Younis Khan to come and bolster Pakistan's Test squad in Australia. Yousuf and the on-tour team management had made repeated requests from as early as the first Test in Melbourne to send Younis over, because they were concerned over the flimsiness of their batting line.

After much dithering the request was eventually turned down, with the selectors asking Younis to recapture some form in domestic cricket instead. Yousuf, having already overseen a series of batting collapses through New Zealand and Australia, was particularly incensed after Pakistan stumbled to 94 for 4 at the end of the second day on a pristine surface at Bellerive Oval in Hobart

[Adelaide Hawk]

I think if I were Ponting, I'd bat for 20 minutes after lunch. It all depends on the lead at lunch. Anything near 440 would be enough.

What is it about batsmen on 99? Katich has been knocking them around, suddenly Kaneria bowls two lollies he can't score from
