[TaZ]

Arent Pak always 0-2 anyways (effectively).

Whippers
YOu know Pak cricket TOO well

 

[Oxy]

Basically, these 2 need to see of the next 15-20 overs without losing a wkt. Run rate is not an issue.

 

[Oxy]

Ntinio bowling beautifully - getting some late 'inswing'.

 

[TaZ]

[kablooee87]

Just woke up and delighted to see Saffies out for 124. Good stuff.

 

[mkexpress]

anyways guys going to get ready for JUMMAH..... May ALLAH HELP us in beating the saffies aameen!

 

[Easa]

What a FANTASTIC shot by Younis Khan. And then another one from Hafeez!

12/1

 

[Easa]

anyways guys going to get ready for JUMMAH..... May ALLAH HELP us in beating the saffies aameen!

I came back from Jummah 3 hours ago!

 

[hasbeen]

16-1. two great 4's by hafeez. one on offside and one on legside both off nelly.

 

[kablooee87]

A bit of pressure seems to have lifted....a bit.

 

[Easa]

17/1 after 7 overs.

 

[shan]

hafeez gone. poor shot, another pull

 

[Noman]

what the hell is Pakistan doing...
Hafees bad shot by him

 

[shan]

thats tea. nother pull another out, 17/2

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Hafeez out pulling

 

[Noman]

this is very bad cricket..

 

[umarbeast]

damm it

 

[Easa]

MAN.. 17/2.

Hafeez falls to the pull shot, Ntini strikes again.

 

[Noman]

Hafees, need to correct him technic.....

 

[umarbeast]

Pakistan pulling Saffies back into the match.

 

[pak4life]

is the pull shot bonus related or something

 

[SUPERSAMI]

17/2 thats about what we expect from the openers, so its up to the Y's again.

 

[OZGOD]

Hafeez gone, Pak in a slight bit of trouble.

 

[OZGOD]

Surely they're not going to waste this great start that Akhtar and Mini-Warne have given them?

 

[shan]

we need lead of at least 200 which mean over all score should be at least 324 runs.

 

[shan]

Surely they're not going to waste this great start that Akhtar and Mini-Warne have given them?

u expect this from our openers.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

u expect this from our openers.

For a while I forgot that we have had opening problems since anwar/sohail departure... Thank u for reminding me

 

[shan]

there is hardly any swing just little bounce. Poor shot by hafeez.

 

[the_game]

Please, please, please don't throw this away Pakistan. Please. Please.

 

[sehban]

suddenly i am a little worried as inzy is injured yousuph has'nt played in a while....we might also get skittled for a 100 ...we at;east need 75-80 runs lead ...but if keeps playing stupid shots sa might get 30 run lead

 

[pacman]

yeah, a poor shot considering it was just before tea.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Just get us to 350, please!!

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Just one solid partnership is needed, there are at least 4 candidates. Pakistan will at least score 220.

 

[CrickFan]

There we go again - when the bowling clicks - the batsmen don't and vice versa ..and some one or the other will get injured ...nothing will change in Pakistan Cricket ..

 

[umarbeast]

Forget 350 Usman first look at getting past 100 lol.

 

[Pathan007]

right move not to expose Yousuf to new ball.

 

[shan]

they should look to score quickly that will put pressure on SA and batting will be even more easy.

 

[shan]

is this hameed?

 

[Pathan007]

hameed gone

 

[Noman]

what the hell

 

[Pathan007]

whatta shi8 head fishing

 

[shan]

hameed gone.

 

[SameerAhmad]

oh God, Pakistan in big trouble now, but some of the batsmen are playing horrible; cause of their own misery!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Hameed gone, what a waste.

 

[Oxy]

Hameed GONE!

19-3.

 

[shan]

only big three can save us. we are in deep trouble here. 19/3

 

[Pathan007]

well they wanted to keep yousuf hiding from new ball. but guess what now he has to face the music.

 

[Noman]

the previows ball had extra bounce and as an batsman you shud have únderstood that batting with the tight technic is needed.

This is loss cricket from Pakistan and Hameed

 

[SameerAhmad]

Hope Yousuf brings back some sanity! Please please please score a century...or at least more than 10 !

 

[shan]

there was no need to send him ahead of moyo.

 

[Noman]

well they wanted to keep yousuf hiding from new ball. but guess what now he has to face the music.

uglt cricket

 

[Oxy]

Now that we have go the 0-2 (0-3) scenario out of the way - we wait for the PROPER batsman [YK/Inzi/MopYO] to save face again.

 

[SameerAhmad]

four! woohoo easy runs!

 

[shan]

on flat pitch this poor batting.

 

[Easa]

What in the world? 19/3!

 

[CrickFan]

These bunch of spineless cricketers would put Indian tail ender batsmen to shame ..Even VRV Singh showed guts ...Thank God I am not watching it live

 

[Easa]

4 byes, Ntini straying down the legside.

 

[Easa]

) ) ) ) ) ) )

 

[pak4life]

its left to the 3 amigos again

 

[Pathan007]

on flat pitch this poor batting.

was flat pitch for saffies but not Pakistan.

 

[Easa]

South Africa were dismissed for 124, just to remind the wrist slitters.

 

[Pathan007]

doesn't look like the pitch SA was batting on.

 

[Oxy]

Are we talking about the whole of the South African line up - or just the 3 PAk guys?

 

[CrickFan]

Like I said - nothing will change in Pak Cricket ..They will keep going around in circles

 

[the_love_machine]

wow, ntini is a friggen good bowler on home conditions, almost unplayable

 

[Hasan]

Pakistan will not score more then a hundred. This is not our pitch!

 

[Easa]

Don't try to talk sense into him, its about as futile as banging your head against a brick wall.

 

[CrickFan]

Replace Farhat and Hafeez with Nazir and Rana for next test ..They negotiated new ball pretty well ..and showed more character

 

[pak4life]

well done ntini for not appealing

 

[Oxy]

well done ntini for not appealing

Whereas Robin Jackass says that its a confident appeal because Boucher threw it in the air - contrasting with the 'over-appealing' jibes he made at Pak!!!

 

[Oxy]

Lovely square cut for 4 by YK.

 

[CrickFan]

It boils down to what one's benchmark is for success : Some people are happy to just pass in an exam ..for some distinction is good enough ..while for many nothing less than numero uno position would suffice ..The posts that one sees on this forum merely reflects the personal benchmarks ..

 

[161]

is pollock fit to bowl ?

Without being evasive, when you refered to 'spineless' - exactly who do you mean?

The 3 batsman out for Pak - with 7 wkts still remaining, or the 10 South African who managed a paltry 124?

 

[immubhai]

what is with pollock? is he fit to bowl?

 

[immubhai]

Salam Bhai log, What is with the picth? Is it offering so much help for fast bowlers or was it the poor short selection of Saffies and Farhat -HAfeez?

 

[Oxy]

Poor shot by Hafeez - Hameed & Farhat are not international level players.

 

[Oxy]

Hello commentators - this is the PAk inngs - with Pak batsman batting....not AB DEvilliers who they have been discussing for the last 4 hours!!!
