Is this the same match that is being written about in the cricinfo bulletin where I just read the following:

Shaun Pollock, in particular, was at times unplayable. Bowling a tight line just outside off stump, he produced several beautiful away cutters to beat the outside edge and gained surprising bounce off a good length. And though Yasir and Younis fished and missed, they showed excellent resolve to keep the scoreboard ticking over with well-placed singles and the occasional tension-relieving boundary. |
I've been out and am playing catch-up.. but the apparent contradiction between your post and this bulletin leaves me wondering what on earth is happening...
