Pak Vs SA: Test 3: Day 2: Score Updates

[Usman Chadda]

In this case its imperative we get to 150+ or we are sure goners! Hameed's dismissal is a big blow as he was the set batsman there!

 

[shan]

150 looking distant away. i don't think SA will need to chase anything over 125

 

[Amjid Javed]

crappy bowler like andrew hall has 2 wickets says it all really!

 

[Oxy]

On current form, highly unlikely.

Where are my God damn blades?

Nauman and Shan have used them up

 

[KA$H]

Vaughan is a 12 year old girl with sissy legs. There, I said it.

why are u even bothering to reply

 

[Uzzy]

Pakistan trying their best to steal the title of chokers from their neighbours...

 

[the_game]

Hameed gone,

pathetic stuff from pakistan.

we mocked indians for chocking in last test, pakistan are doing the same!

I was thinking the exact same thing! Quite true.

 

[dirk diggler]

i was lookin for excuses to stay at home today and not to have to go to birmingham to collect filght tickets to pakistan...i've now found a reason to go, cant watch this cr4p anymore

 

[UJ]

What a great opportunity for Inzi to score THAT 100....right now please!

 

[the_game]

Nauman and Shan have used them up

 

[KA$H]

pak doin an india here

 

[Sparhawk]

This is very bad, we need to add atleast another 70-80 runs in the lead. Someone has to play a little gem!

 

[dog_again]

I think Hall has bowled brilliantly this innings. Hameed gave it away but that came from pressure, the ball that got MoYo was a peach.

Who are you again?

 

[TheSaint]

66-5 still better then 36-5, but I feel now SA firmly in the driving seat. Harris really turning it as well.

 

[KA$H]

stumping chance missed agianst inzi

 

[DotCom]

so now the Best BATSMEN of out PK generation will be left with a TAIL to bat with ... rather than come in 4-5, he comes in when the ball is nice and old, and will watch wickets tumble.... how many times can he farm the strike? how many times will he score 92 not out with the tail?

 

[the_game]

If only we have runs to play with, Kaneria can do some damage here.

 

[KA$H]

lol@the big fella being "quick"

every other time i'd hope!

 

[the_game]

Guys come on, you can't give up on Inzi. Hold on to your blades until he gets out.

 

[DotCom]

ball hits PAD, bat nowhere close, HARRIS yells CATCH HIM

what happened to SAFFERS and his boy Harris who doesnt appeal?

 

[Noman]

Hammed is such a bad player on pressire situations,, its amazing

 

[DotCom]

every other time i'd hope!

well that means not today ...

 

[Noreen]

only 66 run lead

 

[dirk diggler]

new kid on the block and from the looks of it a sado masochist

 

[KA$H]

spanked! 4 by inzi

 

[TheSaint]

Cracker by Inzi for 4 - square-drive

 

[Sparhawk]

Shot Inzi!!! Save us inzi... coz ur our only hope!

 

[darkmoon459]

cut shot for 4 by inzi

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Powerful cut shot by Inzi, 4 runs

 

[shan]

lead 70/5 pak looking to lose match easly.

 

[Mike Bassett]

pakistan are in serious trouble guys The situation is really tense.

SA are in control of this test match now!

A miracle would have to occur for pakistan to win!

 

[Sparhawk]

73 lead, get that to 150 somehow.

 

[the_game]

new kid on the block and from the looks of it a sado masochist

 

[Gunner786]

inzi dropped!!

 

[KA$H]

the coward dropped!

come on big man make them pay!

 

[Ahmad]

Guys come on, you can't give up on Inzi. Hold on to your blades until he gets out.

No one's giving up on Inzi! Inshallah he'll see us through this one as well.

 

[shan]

attack harris.

 

[ali_ed2006]

inzi dropped!

 

[Sparhawk]

Inzi edges, kallis just gets his finger tips to that one... phew that was close. 2 more to inzi.

 

[TheSaint]

Inzi gets a life- Kallis couldn't hold-on to it-very high and quick on his right in the slips

 

[darkmoon459]

Kallis drops one ,inzi gets a life

 

[Ahmad]

attack harris.

with the bat?

 

[Noreen]

73 run lead

 

[SlowRightArm]

not good enough from hameed - he was very well set - 35 is not good enuff

Better than anyone else in this innings so far though...

 

[shan]

inzy now given two chances, make sure they pay for it.

 

[the_game]

Inzi's edge goes through Kallis' hand. Full stretch dive from Kallis. Come on Inzi, ride your luck.

 

[TheSaint]

75-on Inzi in the double figures

 

[KA$H]

inzi's had 2 chances so far

i can see him scoring big here - u cant give chances and not expect the repurcussions

 

[shan]

75/5 need at least another 150 runs here.

 

[KA$H]

Better than anyone else in this innings so far though...

i was talking abt taking responsibility for the ininngs

 

[Easa]

101/5

We just need one really good partnership here and then Nazir and co to wag. Come on Pakistan.

 

[TheSaint]

Akmal , Nazeer & Kaneria to continue playing shots. Inzi , Sami and Asif to try and stay there . Another 100 from these guys and we still have a chance.

 

[umarbeast]

Pakistan never give you a rest. They do something positive and are way ahead but then completely screw it up just to comeback the next moment. Life is a thriller as a Pakistani Fan.

 

[karachiite]

I went downstairs to watch India collapse and come back to find Pak are following suite.

 

[TheSaint]

This pitch has not been easy for grafters- only people who have managed to score a bit are the ones who played positively.
Even Kallis with all his technique and temperament struggled big time.

 

[dirk diggler]

correct me if i'm wrong but didn't test batsmen use to bat for days on end? wats the hurry with this current crop of players, they just don't seem to want to graft...

 

[Easa]

Dale Steyn back into the attack.

 

[KA$H]

gotta say this pitch is totally not test standard - for a game to finish inside 3 days is ridiculous

 

[Uzzy]

You know in a strange way im kinda glad that NTL aren't showing this.

 

[KA$H]

Alan donald talkin abt how the boys enjoy sharing their rooms.hmm

 

[the_game]

You know in a strange way im kinda glad that NTL aren't showing this.

Uzzy come on bro, hold your blades until Inzi goes. I have them ready too .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistans top 6 run contribution thus far in the series.

1st test 1st inns --> 221 runs out of 313
1st test 2nd inns -> 174 runs out of 302
2nd test 1st inns --> 184 runs out of 265
2nd test 2nd inns -> 134 runs out of 191
3rd test 1st inns --> 134 runs out of 157

average team score = 246 runs
Average contribution from top 6 = 169 runs ( 28 per batsmen)

Yes these arent batsmen friendly conditions but your not going to win to many test matches scoring approx less that 250 runs per inns. In addition most of the time its been one batsmen or maybe 2 at best who have pretty much fired in each inns!

 

[KA$H]

akmal plays a total replica of 1st innings dismal - except he didnt touch the ball - not out mind

 

[Sparhawk]

lead 80- recovery on. Need another 50 from this partnership.

4444444 to akmal thru slips.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on inzi we need a big 50 or even a hundred from you here!

 

[KA$H]

streaky edge thro the slips next ball

 

[the_game]

Akmal gets a boundary between the slips. All along the ground though.

 

[saffer]

akmal is so lucky....!!! almost all his runs through the slips !!

 

[karachiite]

With Steyn bowling I have a feeling that there's going to be scoring opportunities and on this pitch any runs are welcome.

 

[KA$H]

na its got to be safe on the stumping

 

[Sparhawk]

nooo akmal could be stumped....

 

[KA$H]

damn he's gone

 

[darkmoon459]

oh no,

 

[Uzzy]

Game over, i say.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal gone and its inzi and the tail left!

 

[saffer]

he's out for sure!!

 

[KA$H]

its defo out

 

[Usman Chadda]

He is on the line, and I think will then be out
