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

[DotCom]

If SAMI top scores for PK ...that will be quite embarrassing .... ever happen before where bowlers top score?

 

[KA$H]

short ball city now

 

[arsal_pakfan]

Ntini on... Sami & nazir should look to play him really well!

 

[Bilsher007]

Ntini in to the attack now... nazir and sami need to give him a battering

 

[Saj]

listen man.....pressure of losing at home in south africa is worth an extra 100 runs......the public here are ruthless....they can stand losing...

so 150 is like 250...i'm serious!!

Saffer, there is no public there. The stadia have been empty during this series

Saffer, who is the most popular Pakistani cricketer in South Africa from the current squad?

 

[Uzzy]

Those pics of Sami & Nazeer are cool- they look like Warriors!!

What pics?

 

[saffer]

watch hashim...he's going to be a great player when he finds his feet...

 

[Oxy]

Fantastic defence by Sami. Credit where its due guys???

 

[Lightning]

Back and so is Ntini. Damn...

 

[Sparhawk]

Ntini cometh!

We can take him. Confident defense by Nazir.

 

[the_game]

Ntini coming in. Allah khair karay.

 

[CrickFan]

Irrespective of the outcome - Farhat and Hafeez should be deprived of their match fee ..and that money diverted to Sami and Nazir .. You can't expect the bowlers to bowl out the opposition ..and then bat too to keep Pakistan in the match

[Oxy]

Those pics of Sami & Nazeer are cool- they look like Warriors!!

Great pics. Sami looked very youthful

 

[Saj]

Wow ! Great shot by Nazir straight drive for 4.

 

[KA$H]

why are you still here? I thought the cricket was over. You spelled it all out in a pretty detailed manner earlier, no?

lol

highest partnership of our innings

another boundary from nazir against Ntinin

 

[KB]

Driven well by Nazir, who is playing sensibly here

 

[CrickFan]

4 straight drive by Nazir

 

[Bilsher007]

Nazir has played another straight drive this time off ntini for four !!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Another straight drive sweeeet. four more.

141 lead

 

[Lightning]

What a shot!

 

[Easa]

Ntini coming in..

 

[darkmoon459]

straight drive for 4 ,

 

[arsal_pakfan]

play the same sensible cricket please...i fear Nazir or Sami anytime will play an awful shot

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Great shot by Nazir, 4 runs

 

[the_game]

Nazir with another boundary! Beautiful.

 

[Saj]

1 more, pulled easily by Nazir.

 

[Oxy]

The threat of Ntini to the tail is more psychological - hes not a great tail bowler

 

[Easa]

And Nazir wallops him down the ground!

 

[DotCom]

why are you still here? I thought the cricket was over. You spelled it all out in a pretty detailed manner earlier, no?

B/c I bleed Pakistan Green and WHITE .. .

 

[dog_again]

Why the hell the top order batsmen could'nt bat the way nazir and sami are batting ???

Why the hell the tail can't bat like the top order???

 

[Uzzy]

Great pics. Sami looked very youthful

I repeat what pics?

 

[arsal_pakfan]

if they wont play any awful shot then i dont think South Africa will get us out any soon!

 

[Oxy]

Well well well - what a shot for 4!

 

[saffer]

yeah...there arent a lot of people at the ground...but trust me...there is huge interest....people just prefer to watch at home with their families...or at the pub with friends.......it makes front page news etc and is offered out on 2 chanells on tv...

47 runs.....the pitch does look flat now huh ?

142 ahead.....

 

[karachiite]

Good partnership but if anything it just proves that the pitch isn't unplayable and anything less than 250 is gettable.

 

[Easa]

Next ball pulled for a single.

Current Partnership: 47(81)

 

[arsal_pakfan]

444444444

 

[the_game]

B/c I bleed Pakistan Green and WHITE .. .

Right!

 

[CrickFan]

another 4 by sami ...

 

[Saj]

4 to Sami.

Square cut 50 partnership. Great stuff !

 

[KA$H]

great horizontal bat shot from sami

 

[Sparhawk]

Cut away by sami. 145 .....

 

[Lightning]

 

[Bilsher007]

Now sami cuts ntini for a four at square !!!

 

[Oxy]

I repeat what pics?

TV showing the 2 and their 46 run p/ship.

 

[KB]

Timed nicely for 4 past the diving Prince.

Pakistan showing some fortitude

 

[CrickFan]

50 partnership up

 

[DotCom]

watch hashim...he's going to be a great player when he finds his feet...

I agree .. he is a great batsmen .. has all the right techniques, just needs some more confidence..

and I am not saying this b/c he is Muslim .. but b/c he is a great batsmen in my mind .. ala Kallis.. who is class..

 

[darkmoon459]

50 partnership is up, good job by the tail

 

[dirk diggler]

i attempted to razor blade myself wen inzi got out, unfortunately it's a gilette mach 3 (TURBO I HASTEN TO ADD) and its imposible to cut yorself with it, all i ended up with was a less hairier left arm! do i need to search out my old mans cut throat or will sami & co giv me a reason to go on???? our emotions are being toyed with?

 

[Easa]

Sami cuts a 4. C'mon Pakistan!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

good shot Samster

 

[the_game]

Zohaib, Sami might get a fifty here! Damn it, you should pick my lottery numbers next time.

 

[darkmoon459]

lead of 146 ,

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Partnership is 51 runs, highest of the innings.

 

[arsal_pakfan]

yes the pitch flatenning out may be a factor..but i think it has more to do with the old ball

with the new ball & the first 30 overs the pitch will play the same as it did on day 1!!

& ofcourse with the old ball we have kaneria to turn the ball ferociously!

 

[Oxy]

Thats a fantastic 4 by Sami to bring up the 50 p/ship.

Hi quality no doubt about it!

 

[Lightning]

Zohaib, Sami might get a fifty here! Damn it, you should pick my lottery numbers next time.

 

[KA$H]

lol@the look of disgust on Kallis face at nazir bungled hook attempt

 

[Saj]

146 ahead now. Still not enough but another 40 and who knows with Kaneria in the bowling ranks.

 

[Saj]

The volume of the SA commentators seems to have reduced now.

The cockyness and smugness isnt there either.

 

[KA$H]

good ball from kallis - swish and close miss from nazir

 

[Lightning]

Guys, if you watched the entire test closely like I did on my laptop set up on my chest while I lay in bed, you'd know this pitch has demons.....

for first 30 overs. Luckily for us it'll be all day as we have Kaneria.

 

[DotCom]

Kaneria is effective with the old ball .. ball will be old in 25+ overs.. where SA would have scored 80+ atleast by then ..

PK needs a good 200 run lead to fight.. otherwise it will not be enough..

 

[KA$H]

another great shot for 4 from nazir

 

[arsal_pakfan]

4444444

 

[Sparhawk]

Nazir looks good in defense. Another straight drive for four.

 

[CrickFan]

lead 150 ..4 staright drive

 

[Saj]

4 more to Nazir. Superb, superb, superb straight drive.

 

[Bilsher007]

NAzir plays a straight drive off kallis for FOUR !!!! amazing stuff

 

[CrickFan]

Nazir gone

 

[darkmoon459]

another drive for 4 ,way to go nazir.

 

[Lightning]

Listen to the commies, where has all the enthusiasm gone!? lol

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Another straight 4 by Nazir, great shot

 

[Saj]

aaargh ! Nazir out. Caught behind

 

[the_game]

Another 4 by Nazir! Lead 150 now.

 

[KA$H]

good innings come to an end

well played nazir

 

[arsal_pakfan]

150 lead MashAllah..get atleast 30 more to make a match
