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

[Ahmad]

Just a query... Last time round we did the same show with our tail in the 1st test 2nd innings, but then when the saffies came on to bat, the pitch was absolutely flat. Was that because of the rain or was it that it had eased out on its own? I don't want our tail to work their ass off and then the saffies coasting to victory...!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Nazir gone, well played

 

[DotCom]

its over now .. unless ASIF can play 30 balls for 0 runs, and SAMI plays an INZY ..

 

[the_game]

........And Nazir is out.

 

[darkmoon459]

Nazir is gone ,wild swing ,caught behind . still a great job .

 

[arsal_pakfan]

hmm ab mushkil lagta hai...

 

[CrickFan]

Well Played 27 hard fought runs ..showed more courage than "specialists" and flat track bullies

 

[Sparhawk]

Shiznit gone ct behind.

No panicking, another 30 run partnership is what we want.

 

[Easa]

Nazir gone! 176/8

 

[Oxy]

Another quality drive for 4 by Nazir - commentators tone drops suddenly with the 150 lead.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Poor shot by Nazir but well played nonetheless. 55 run partnership has really helped us get to a position from where we can atleast fight

 

[Oxy]

And caught behind next ball.

Fine partnership.

Nazir gone for 27.

176-8.

Lead of 150.

 

[ZM]

another 20-30 runs required

 

[karachiite]

50 partnership

well done

 

[Lightning]

Ahmad, it'll be different this time. Pitch is different and it's a decider. SA will struggle.

 

[Easa]

We need another 20-30 runs from these two.

 

[Lightning]

I would've sent Asif in.

 

[Ahmad]

We need Danish to string a partnership with sami. Who knows, they get lucky and put on another 30-40

 

[Vegitto1]

now lets see wht kaneria can do

 

[DotCom]

I would've sent Asif in.

yup .....

 

[karachiite]

And Nazir goes. Well played.

 

[Lightning]

Kaneria could've had a slog when 9 down.

 

[Oxy]

Shabash Dani - lets see what this little terrier can do for Pak

 

[UJ]

Danish, we need some runs from you. I know you can do it!

 

[the_game]

Wag a little bit more. Don't throw it away tail.

 

[saffer]

one thing for sure...the pitch is better now than yesterday....

 

[Lightning]

HAHAH Sami farming the strike.

 

[Easa]

Danish Kaneria is in, South Africa beware.

 

[KA$H]

i dont think sami should try to farm the strike

its waiting to get out - by having a heave towards the end of the over

 

[karachiite]

Another 50 runs needed atleast.

 

[Oxy]

I thought DK had played on 1st up!

No footwork

 

[Lightning]

Sami looking very, very solid. No. 6 like solid.

 

[kablooee87]

If this partnership sticks even a little bit, I'm gonna join Nauman in the ranks of blind optimism for this test.

 

[Sparhawk]

yea. asif should be in..

Sami refuses the single to keep strike... hmm not sure about these tactics. He can't very well look to hit boundaries....

In the air and safe. 2 more.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 176/8 (lead up to 150)

if we can squeeze another 30 runs or so great!

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 for sami down the ground.

lead 152.

 

[the_game]

Sami down the track to Ntini! 2 runs.

 

[KA$H]

well played sami - but take very run on offer!

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for sami

lead 153 now..

 

[saffer]

S.A do look tired....6 test matches in about 8 weeks....crazy!

 

[dirk diggler]

rush of blood to nazirs head, hit a lovely shot the previous ball, needed to batten down the hatches next ball, saying that he's done much much more then our so called batsmen

 

[dog_again]

Lol, we take the slips out and try save the single against Saminzi, and he still finds one easily. We are the bangladesh of bowling to the tail.

 

[Lightning]

Sami on fire. Look at that little tuck on to the legside. Super.

 

[ZM]

S.A do look tired....6 test matches in about 8 weeks....crazy!

excuses excuses

 

[the_game]

Sami looking very, very solid. No. 6 like solid.

And that's not even a joke. He is looking like one.

 

[KA$H]

i dont think danish is the bunny he used to be a couple of years ago - he's defo improved

 

[Oxy]

S.A do look tired....6 test matches in about 8 weeks....crazy!

Same as Pak - everyone seems to have forgotten we were playing the Windies ( 3tests/5 ODIs last month) - both SA series were at home - we are playing the same amount of cricket, PLUS travelling half way round the world to play SA

 

[DotCom]

Lol, we take the slips out and try save the single against Saminzi, and he still finds one easily. We are the bangladesh of bowling to the tail.

Saminzi just did a SamFridi to Ntini ... HAHA

NTINI bowling 132.... thats NAZIR pace....AFRIDI shooter pace...

 

[saffer]

so this is why the pick sami ...I knew it wasn't for his bowling !

 

[Lightning]

If only he could bowl well consistently. We would bat down to 9 with a bit of tail at 7 in Akmal.

 

[saffer]

oops....I cursed him...

fun now from kaneria I am sure...

 

[KA$H]

well played sami - good effort son

9 wickets down

 

[Saj]

oh no ! Sami gone. Skies a pull shot.

153 ahead.

 

[dog_again]

Finally! Fancy our chances of bowling them out for under 250 now.

 

[TheSaint]

Sami goes- hooked it to Amla off Kallis- well played though.

 

[the_game]

Sami goes. Damn!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Sami out for 31, well played

 

[darkmoon459]

Sami iz gone ,well played ,pver for pakistan ,hopefully the bowlers can do some magic.

 

[dirk diggler]

And that's not even a joke. He is looking like one.

could he be taught to wicketkeep

 

[Ahmad]

S.A do look tired....6 test matches in about 8 weeks....crazy!

Really do they?! Its wonders how much a half hour of tailenders batting can cause fatigue.. ) ) ) ) )

 

[Sparhawk]

nooo nono sami what have you done? great knock neverthless.

Its upto asif and kaneria now

 

[Easa]

179/9 as Sami departs.

 

[KA$H]

160 lead is all i ask - come on boys

 

[Lightning]

Sami will be so tired. How's he going to bowl?

 

[ZM]

upto sir Danish now

 

[pak4life]

atleast 30 runs short

 

[TheSaint]

153 on - another 20 odd and we can make it interesting.

 

[saffer]

I'm sure pakistan are tired too....at least you got to travel to a nice place like S.A




mohammed "the batting giant" asif...

 

[UJ]

Kaneria needs to go Big now!!

 

[Oxy]

I was hoping that Amnla would catch like a girl (to match his batting/throwing) like one.

Fantastic inngs by Sami - no shame in getting out. You did your teamproud.

Now, 'The Asif & Kaneria Show'

 

[KA$H]

lol@the lazy waft outside off stump from asif

 

[Lightning]

haha, lazy elegance from Asif.

 

[saffer]

I mean S.A must have thought "finally" we can just rest...and then it goes on for an hour........anyway....asif doesnt look like he's going to last very long...

 

[Easa]

Somehow we need to get 10-15 more runs!

 

[KA$H]

boundary to asif

every run precious

 

[Saj]

4 to Asif. Over the slips.

 

[TheSaint]

Kaneria - can he wallop a couple into the stands!! Asif slashes one above slips-looked intentional.

 

[the_game]

Asif is an absolute bunny. Good God!

 

[Salman]

thats 4 more...

 

[Sparhawk]

yess asif u can do eeet
