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

[Oxy]

Good fielding by Nazir - could have been 4 - instead its just the 1

 

[Amjid Javed]

Inshallah we will bowl S.A quickly and then the game becomes basically a one inns battle.

 

[Amir]

I think it would not be a bad move to bring on Sami to attempt to clean up the tail with his pace and fullish inswigners.

 

[KA$H]

danish landing on the penny most deliveries

if anything its asif who isnt hitting his straps

 

[TheSaint]

Steyn actually seems a pretty decent bat- we need Boucher though- he can be a dangerman as we all know.

 

[Amir]

Inshallah we will bowl S.A quickly and then the game becomes basically a one inns battle.

Pitch also seems to be easing out. We get them out now...we can SHOULD get 300 atleast.

 

[Oxy]

DK just drifting down the leg side - thats easy runs.

 

[KA$H]

i think the feild is too defensive against Boucher - lookin too intent on getting the tailender to face - plan may backfire against pak here

 

[KA$H]

bouncer called a wide from asif

 

[KA$H]

a waft and a miss from boucher

 

[Amir]

i think the feild is too defensive against Boucher - lookin too intent on getting the tailender to face - plan may backfire against pak here

Well I do not think that is their plan. The thing is Boucher has to go for it. So I think it is more to prevent boundaries since we know he will not take teh single.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

HELL!!! four for boucher!!

 

[KA$H]

i think we need to forget abt the singles off the last ball and concentrate on cuttin off the 1s and twos - that way boucher will have to have a go at the ball more

lookin ominous with boucher at the crease

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I think it would not be a bad move to bring on Sami to attempt to clean up the tail with his pace and fullish inswigners.

I second that thought!!

 

[iZeeshan]

I dont want Boucher to get away again...

 

[pak4life]

i blieve this will be pakistans most important day for years. we can set up victory today inshallah

 

[Amjid Javed]

Every run here is worth gold dust come on boys wrap it up!

 

[cricketfan1]

Its to much asking for Pak to go in the second inning with lead even if its 1 run, but lets not try to have the last two batsman hurt us.. we need to bowl as much to the tail as we can.. lets try and play smart and gave us maximum opportunity and keep Boucher of strike

 

[Amjid Javed]

South Africa 149/8

 

[KA$H]

steyn reading the googly

 

[cricketfan1]

Man Steyn is playing through overs like a seasoned batsman dam it

 

[KA$H]

bookies still have SA as favourites

 

[karachiite]

Match isnt on ntl and cant even find it on the web anywhere. Im not happy

 

[cricketfan1]

comon Asif let take Boucher

 

[KA$H]

spanked! for 4

an a no ball to boot

 

[CricketBuff]

we need boucher's wkt now guys

 

[cricketfan1]

I think Asif knows his 50 is almost up he might be trying to hard and knock of his concentration

 

[the_game]

Come on Asif, clean the tail up.

 

[Oxy]

Fantastic shot by Boucher for 4! 150 up

 

[Amir]

Precious ...precious runs being leaked. Looks like SA hve taken the lead. Time to bring on Sami to clean the tail in my opinion.

 

[Oxy]

Fantastic save by MoYo - saves 2!

 

[CricketBuff]

Asif trying too hard, he is not relaxed.

 

[cricketfan1]

Kanerias run rate looks SIC!! Kudos to imzi for trusting him and double kudos for Kaneria for his performance

 

[KA$H]

what a complete fluff by Moyo

and the score are level after an another no ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cracking shot by Boucher... just 3 runs behind.

come on Asif! kill him!

 

[iZeeshan]

Scores level. Come on wicket!

 

[12thMan]

Scores leveled. Asif looks tired

 

[KA$H]

[Amjid Javed]

Scores level now.

 

[cricketfan1]

asif starting to choke

 

[Amir]

Boucher now going for it and scres are level after Asif concedes yet anotehr no ball.

 

[KA$H]

just bounced in for 4

 

[Oxy]

what a complete fluff by Moyo

and the score are level after an another no ball

Actually it was a fantastic stop - he saved the boundary. What else do you want???

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 more for boucher, this is a poor over.

lead is 4 runs.

 

[Amir]

This track is getting alot flatter. We should be able to put up a good target.

 

[iZeeshan]

And six more!

Wow! 10 run lead!

 

[Salman]

up in the air... gone for six ... SA... 165/8

 

[Amir]

SIX! BOucher gettign lucky and this is ridiculious. Get through this over and dbring on Sami after Kanerias over.

 

[karachiite]

Im not watching it so can't say but is Asif looking tired?

 

[the_game]

Precious runs. Come on, don't mess this up Pakistan.

 

[Oxy]

Boucher top edges it for 4!

Need to strangle the runs here - its these runs that could make the diffrtence at the end

 

[Salman]

Im not watching it so can't say but is Asif looking tired?

just woke up, looks like he bowling short.

 

[Easa]

Fantastic batting for Boucher. I'd bring Sami back on, Asif looks a bit tired.

 

[KA$H]

Actually it was a fantastic stop - he saved the boundary. What else do you want???

come on mate, the stop was good in the end - but he should never have gotten into that kind of position stopping that ball

this is international cricket after all

 

[Salman]

Another Six 171/8

 

[KA$H]

22 runs from asif over

hmm..

 

[Amir]

Fantastic batting for Boucher. I'd bring Sami back on, Asif looks a bit tired.

I don't think it is that because it is still pretty early. Just there is not much in the pitch for him now....we need pace.

 

[Pathan007]

huge six

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 165/8 (8 run lead)

Steyn and boucher have put on 25 valuable runs here...

 

[12thMan]

22 runs off the over

 

[Oxy]

come on mate, the stop was good in the end - but he should never have gotten into that kind of position stopping that ball

this is international cricket after all

But we are talking about a 30+ year old MoYo - not Imran Nazir

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Huge straight six for boutcher, Asif got mauled that over

 

[Pathan007]

22runs off asif.

 

[the_game]

Really bad over by Asif. Asif is probably not used to getting hammered around!

 

[iZeeshan]

Well well well

6 more! Asif just tired now. Bring in Sami. But lead gone up quite a bit.

 

[Easa]

22 runs from that Asif over, as Boucher hits a 6 to end it.

 

[darkmoon459]

The dangerman is turning it on ,22 runs off the last over ,time to bring in Sami.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Damn the mother of all thrashings handed to Asif by Boucher in that over!!! Good entertainment though

 

[KA$H]

great shot from steyn

 

[Oxy]

Massive 6! Tired Asif needs to be rested - hes done his bit.

 

[Amjid Javed]

[Amir]

come on mate, the stop was good in the end - but he should never have gotten into that kind of position stopping that ball

this is international cricket after all

the ball was travelling at good speed. Boucher hits another six, lead is now 14.

 

[pak4life]

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Damnn they really attacked him that over !!

 

[Amir]

South Africa 171-8 (Boucher 29* Steyn 2*)
