From what I heard, his wife isn't sick, she is giving birth.
She had complications with her pregnancy, which forced Mo out of the West Indies ODI series. She is expected to give birth sometime this week but she was seriously ill around the Christmas period. You can understand Mo not wanting to tour just yet, considering his wife and future child were nearly brown bread a couple weeks back.

It's all right to play the pull shot but shot selection comes into it.It seems Pakistan are just pulling whenever the ball is short and enivitable one is going to go up in the air.SA right back in this but what a giveaway wicket for someone on 60odd.Pakistan players are going to regret not going on and getting hundreds.

And both looked good to make a 100. 300 would be a good total now.

Huge importance now on Inzamam, if he goes then Pakistan could easily fold for this 250, considering young Akmal hasn't been in the best of touch of late.

That was an absolutely worthless innings from Iqbal. Blocking steadily for about thirty odd balls and than wasting your wicket in a rush of adernalin.

Pakistan's use of the pull shot reminds me of the English preoccupation with the sweep shot. It got them into all sorts of trouble, and Pakistan is heading the same way.

Anyone else feel Inzamam is to low at number 5.They always talk about your best player batting there and seeing yousuf's not playing why not 4?.You can get a pietersen case where Inzamam is battting with the tail and say ending 40notout

Missing Asim Kamal now. Hameed should be hanged for playing all those pull shots trying to get out.
