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

[KA$H]

ITs a shame how we compare a Inzi or a Yousuf or a Younis Khan to the likes of Javed Miandad,Hanif Mohammed or a Zaheer Abbas!!

those were really gr8s in true sense & used to score runs in all sorts of pitches around the world & against all types of bowling attack..the ptiches in that era were really difficult specially in Australia,England & Westindies..these haven't done anything as substantial to be compared with them !!

so you were around then and saw all those knocks to compare properly did you?

 

[dog_again]

Full and straight my friend.

Hey don't tell me, tell Dale.

Another drop. Come on lads, put them out of my misery.

 

[the_game]

Nazir dropped by Hall in the slips. Hard catch.

 

[Lightning]

Arsal, why are you so negative all the time?

 

[Sparhawk]

I don't know how much it'l help the seamers but all asif needs is a little movement which is obviously there. After that its upto kaneria.

We just have to bat out of our skin for now.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Akmalitis is spreading, lets hope it infects their batting as well.

 

[arsal_pakfan]

150 will be a cakewalk for South Africa....& its too long to think abt 150 at the moment

130 is more likely

South Africa won the game the time they got Inzi out!

 

[Easa]

134/7

We need another 60-70 runs from somewhere.

Inzamam, Yousuf and Younis are not the problem. They carry the batting. But they won't succeed every time.

The problem is the others. It is a 3 man batting line-up!

 

[Lightning]

Hey don't tell me, tell Dale.

Another drop. Come on lads, put them out of my misery.

It might not work, Sami is a SUPER bat. Just watch, a 50 is on the cards.

 

[saffer]

if the tail can muster another 50 ...then it's 50/50 ....kepler says 180 ....but's he's arrogant....

right now if they out for 130 or so....you have to say South Africa shouldnt lose....

 

[Sparhawk]

Well atleast akmal is good for something.... spread far and wide...

 

[arsal_pakfan]

theres no point in playing the way they r doing at the moment..they should look to score boundaries & move the score!

 

[Oxy]

ITs a shame how we compare a Inzi or a Yousuf or a Younis Khan to the likes of Javed Miandad,Hanif Mohammed or a Zaheer Abbas!!

!!

Easy to say that AFTER players have retired - belive me, even the greats had stinkers on an off day!

 

[Saj]

2 more to the total.

Harris' dramatics are quite annoying. This guy should be on the stage.

 

[Gunner786]

i swear if sami gets his 50 today i will do my all to make sure he gets the pakistani mbe or obe

 

[KA$H]

SA appear to have taken their foot off the pedal here

 

[Oxy]

Arsal, why are you so negative all the time?

I confiscated his razor blades

 

[saffer]

right...they may as well go for the runs....if they play like this they will eventually get a good one and it will all be for nothing...

if we win this without pollock , S.A will take a lot of confidence...he has carried us for so long..

 

[Oxy]

2 more to the total.

Harris' dramatics are quite annoying. This guy should be on the stage.

The grunting is reminiscent of a Sharapova or a Seles!

 

[the_game]

I confiscated his razor blades

Did you give yours to Dotcom, Oxy bhai?

 

[saffer]

What you guys think ? Is Harris any good ? I don't think so , but S.A are desperate for a spinner. ...

 

[darkmoon459]

approx 30 overs left ,i am hoping the tail would hang arround ,

 

[Sparhawk]

1 more Nazir. Lead 111.

 

[dog_again]

Time for Ntini to come back, Steyn looks like he's fading a bit.

 

[KA$H]

is it me or has steyn got a really funny way of walking? its kind of like a waddle

 

[Rob H]

4 through gully and point and a no ball too.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Inzamam, Yousuf and Younis are not the problem. They carry the batting. But they won't succeed every time.

The problem is the others. It is a 3 man batting line-up!

spot on - the openers are the real problem

 

[Sparhawk]

NO ball FOUR to Sami.. atta boy.

Lead 116.

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for nazir

lead is 111.

 

[Saj]

5. No ball and 4, guided to 3rd man boundary

 

[saffer]

Noooooooooooooo....the score is getting too high....my poor hair !!

 

[Amjid Javed]

sami slashes a no ball away for 4.

lead 116...

 

[the_game]

Sami showing grit. If only he can bowl well too, sheesh.

 

[KA$H]

nazir napping at the other end - easy single missed

 

[Bilsher007]

Asalaam alikum Wr Wb Brothers;

What the hell happened ?? i have just switched on the tele and pakistan are 134/ 7 !!!!! none of the batsmen stood out with responsibility ??? tell me how they got out ?

 

[Saj]

Sami and Nazir are showing moe guts, determination and application than our openers. That is no joke, that is fact !

 

[Sparhawk]

Harris is a decent find for SA, they needed him. Should hold on to him for a while..

 

[Lightning]

Bring back Ntini or else Sami'll get a 50.

 

[KA$H]

i dont think Smith has ever heard of a 3rd man

 

[Bilsher007]

Noooooooooooooo....the score is getting too high....my poor hair !!

This score is nothing for you saffies, it will be a easy south african win

 

[arsal_pakfan]

Sami is really the last slimmer of a hope..Asif & Kaneria wont do much with the bat

 

[Uzzy]

Sami and Nazir are showing moe guts, determination and application than our openers. That is no joke, that is fact !

I think we have found our openers.

 

[saffer]

whats steyn's pace here ....seems slow !

 

[CrickFan]

another no ball ..lead 118

 

[Lightning]

Finally a yorker but put away.

 

[Nauman]

Ill try and be positive for next 24 hours. I belive we can win this even with a target of 120

 

[saffer]

come on boys......less than 130 !!!!!


oh man.....i can see S.a like 20 for 4...then 130 is going to be a nightmare!

 

[Oxy]

Sami is really the last slimmer of a hope..Asif & Kaneria wont do much with the bat

Kaneria has been a revelation with ther bat in recent tests.

 

[saffer]

second best partnership of the innings

 

[Lightning]

I like the way you think Saffer.

 

[DotCom]

Did you give yours to Dotcom, Oxy bhai?

I prefer the noose that PK batsmen have been using on themselves

 

[Bilsher007]

I am sorry i don't rate dale steyn at all as a good bowler and he has taken three important wickets ?!!!

Sami and nazir showing some grit, guts and determination. They are putting better application and higher price on their wicket.

 

[dog_again]

Harris is no Warne/Murali, but he's better than Boje/Giles.

A bit of experience he could be Vettori-ish. Needs to work on his fielding and batting, though, does those like a club hack not an international.

 

[the_game]

Ill try and be positive for next 24 hours. I belive we can win this even with a target of 120

I can give you my blades if you want, Nauman.

 

[Oxy]

Ill try and be positive for next 24 hours. I belive we can win this even with a target of 120

Denial! I prefer you to be negative

 

[Sparhawk]

Dont discount Asif, he just refuses to get out

But i hope he doesnt have to come out for a while yet.

 

[KA$H]

where's Ntini?

 

[the_game]

I prefer the noose that PK batsmen have been using on themselves

 

[Noreen]

Noooooooooooooo....the score is getting too high....my poor hair !!

WHAT? is it going grey????

 

[Lightning]

I am sorry i don't rate dale steyn at all as a good bowler and he has taken three important wickets ?!!!

Sami and nazir showing some grit, guts and determination. They are putting better application and higher price on their wicket.

Steyn's a good prospect. He'll get better with time.

 

[saffer]

see boys...off the pad...caught....no big histionic appeal !!

come on now..admit it...us saffers are nice !

 

[Saj]

1 more to Nazir to deep long on

27 vital runs so far from the 2 bowlers.

 

[Nauman]

I can give you my blades if you want, Nauman.

I had them I used them to shave instead, nothing will stand in the way of my new found positive attitude, not even Oxy.

 

[Oxy]

Some lovely shots being played combined with solid defence.

Keeping it simple.

 

[Sparhawk]

just like that its upto 122. this us exciting!!!

 

[KA$H]

28 run partnership so far

 

[Gunner786]

guys the india windies match is much better
samuels and smith are battering the indians

 

[arsal_pakfan]

hehe good partnership....hope it continues for long.....add 50 more runs..than 50 more...than 50 more

250 will be ideal target

 

[the_game]

I had them I used them to shave instead, nothing will stand in the way of my new found positive attitude, not even Oxy.

[Oxy]

Well the bat was in another continent at the time - no where near the pad

 

[Lightning]

Kallis coming to help Sami and Nazir.

 

[KA$H]

my the sound of the willow sounded really aweful

 

[saffer]

150 is looking very possible now...

kallis ...

interesting side note...sanex..a shampoo company hired kallis when he was young as a spokesman....i'm not using sanex anymore...

 

[dog_again]

Oh for frigs sake, Smiff brings on Kallis instead of Ntini.

Someone tell him that Christmas was last month, time for gifts is over.

 

[arsal_pakfan]

on a serious note...just play the same sensible way for another half an hour or so & we might get to a respectable target!

 

[Oxy]

guys the india windies match is much better
samuels and smith are battering the indians

I'd much rather my team win then India get battered...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

if we can get another 30 runs, it will certainly make the match interesting

 

[Lightning]

hehe good partnership....hope it continues for long.....add 50 more runs..than 50 more...than 50 more

250 will be ideal target

My goodness, you're so silly.

 

[SlowRightArm]

Surprised Smith has not unleashed Ntini...
