[saffer]

"glided" through the slip corden.......classy !

 

[Oxy]

Is that Farhat who come back out to bat?

 

[Lightning]

Asif doing the job.

 

[the_game]

Asif gets 4 over the slips. Legend!

 

[UJ]

Asif showing up Kaneria here

 

[Saj]

2 more to Asif, through the slips.

Lead is 159

 

[KA$H]

another couple to asif squirted thro gully

 

[Salman]

finds the gap another 2..

 

[Easa]

Asif hits a 4!

 

[KA$H]

lets see if danish will try to play the senior role or not

 

[saffer]

right...under 180...advantage S.A.....over 180...advantage pakistan ...anyone agree ?

 

[KA$H]

danish will defo have a go against harris

 

[SlowRightArm]

could he be taught to wicketkeep

Off his own bowling, too? Bit like Taibu of Zimbabwe.

 

[Oxy]

right...under 180...advantage S.A.....over 180...advantage pakistan ...anyone agree ?

No - realistically 250 would be advantage Pak. SA had 4 bowlers. PAk effectively have 2.

 

[saffer]

"lord harris " into the attack...to dazzle us with his wizadry..

 

[darkmoon459]

another single

 

[kablooee87]

Asif with a Chowka, few more of those please.

 

[darkmoon459]

all over ,

 

[KA$H]

mate its game on either way frorm now on in

161 to win

 

[dog_again]

All over, 162 to win, going to be an interesting chase.

 

[Sparhawk]

160 it is!

 

[dirk diggler]

a few agricultural heaves should do the trick

 

[SUPERSAMI]

161 to bowl at, difficult but possible.

 

[the_game]

161 needed to win. Can we witness a miracle here?

 

[deep82]

target 161.....should be easy for SA unless Asif bowls a dream opening spell!!

 

[saffer]

161......ticklish little target the commentater said...


50 minutes to bat.......it's all going to come down to these first 15 overs I think .....


oh man...I'm biting my nails....

 

[Rob H]

Easy win for Pakistan now. South Africa will be blown away by early Asif wickets and then Kaneria finishing the rest.

 

[ZM]

we need to get 3 wickets before the close

 

[Bilsher007]

after nazir and sami now kaneria is OUT, pakistan finish at 186 with a lead of 160 runs. SO the saffies need 161 runs to win, can pakistan win it or south africa will walk away with it ??

 

[kablooee87]

No - realistically 250 would be advantage Pak. SA had 4 bowlers. PAk effectively have 2.

Oxy don't discount Sami. I've seen him like this before. When the situation REALLY calls for it, you can jut sense he is up for it. He throws himself around on the field, becomes an annoyance with the bat, and produces 1 or 2 crucial wickets.

Yes, it is very rare, but I just feel like he is in that sort of mood right now.

 

[Noreen]

Easy win for Pakistan now. South Africa will be blown away by early Asif wickets and then Kaneria finishing the rest.

are you supporting pakistan??

 

[Toony™®]

saffies need 161

 

[TheSaint]

What a legend- Asif drags one from outside-off and gave a lolly-pop to mid-wicket- He really cannot bat- but he doesn't need to with the way that he bowls- ComeOn man - now its upto u. We need two quick wickets to open the flood-gates

 

[Lightning]

Pak in with a chance. Need to knock 3/4 down tonight.

 

[KA$H]

pak need to be fired up and believe- thats woolmers job

 

[Uzzy]

If only the top and middle order had showed the guts, grit and determination that Sami and Nazir showed we wouldnt be in this mess!

 

[Oxy]

Wasnt the best of shots by Asif - but thats life as a tail ender.

Time to stretch my legs - excercise my jaw muscles!

Pak 186 all out.

SA: 161 to win

 

[kablooee87]

Easy win for Pakistan now. South Africa will be blown away by early Asif wickets and then Kaneria finishing the rest.

woah, talk about a different perspective.

 

[saffer]

before it gets nasty....may I offer a friendly "good luck (but not too much") ...and whatever happens thanks guys for a great series...you fought wonderfully...

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan needs atleast 2 wickets today. three will be great. not too much runs conceded so bowling and fielding has to be good

 

[iZeeshan]

Its ok guys. We put up a good fight in SAF. Now to win the ODIs.

 

[Vegitto1]

ROb H..are you trying to jinx Pakistan?

 

[Sparhawk]

Lara punishing kumble in the other game.. hmm wow that is classy stuff.

 

[Oxy]

Oxy don't discount Sami. I've seen him like this before. When the situation REALLY calls for it, you can jut sense he is up for it. He throws himself around on the field, becomes an annoyance with the bat, and produces 1 or 2 crucial wickets.

Yes, it is very rare, but I just feel like he is in that sort of mood right now.

I only 'discount' Sami - because he will be expensive.

 

[Noreen]

sami was our second highest scorer after hameed

 

[Lightning]

I can see SA being 50/3 at end of play.

 

[Easa]

161 to win, should be a very interesting chase.

 

[Salman]

after nazir and sami now kaneria is OUT, pakistan finish at 186 with a lead of 160 runs. SO the saffies need 161 runs to win, can pakistan win it or south africa will walk away with it ??

No.

 

[Oxy]

How many overs are left tonight?

 

[Imran_The Man!]

That late flurry of 20 or so by Boucher hurt us there, or we would have a lead of over 180 here. Oh well, least we've got something to make a fight of it with.

 

[Usman Chadda]

161 is a tricky target and it can go either way depending upon the starts both the teams get. Asif and Kaneria will be the key but it would be better if Sami and Nazir contribute this time

 

[deep82]

what a funny test match....over in 2 days 2 hours )

 

[saffer]

anything less than 3 wickets tonight and S.A should win....3 wickets or more.....it's going to be a sleepless night...

 

[Easa]

Easy win for Pakistan now. South Africa will be blown away by early Asif wickets and then Kaneria finishing the rest.

That's a bold prediction or is it sarcasm zindabad?

 

[iZeeshan]

No.

?

So the game isn't over yet?

Ok so you guys are the experts! I am supporting Pakistan all the way!

Good batting by Sami, btw.

 

[Usman Chadda]

How many overs are left tonight?

22.4 overs left according to Cricinfo. But the commentators just said that we would have 50 mins of play at the most tonight

 

[siddharth]

161 is defendable,but Akmal cannot afford to lose those catches.yeah ,pak have to utilise half chances .

 

[Lightning]

More like 50 minutes usman.

 

[Usman Chadda]

More like 50 minutes usman.

Oops sorry 50 correct...

 

[Rob H]

) at sky sports. Rambo Robin Jackman says be ready at 7:15.

 

[siddharth]

That's a bold prediction or is it sarcasm zindabad?

Now Whippy and RH are on fire!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh, the play has ended for today.

 

[Hash]

161 on this pitch is defendable but I think we are about 50 runs short.

We need every bowler to be on the spot and we need to take all our chances (catches, stumpings, all lbw appeals need to be given etc).

50 mins today............about 10 overs. If we can knock 2 or 3 over we can still go into day 3 with a very good shout.

 

[DotCom]

Lara punishing kumble in the other game.. hmm wow that is classy stuff.

I saw that .. .CLASS is LARA

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Salam guys,

We need to get Smith early to have a chance in this one...if he stays for 10 overs then it will be very hard for us oh and please drop sitters....thank you!

 

[siddharth]

If Pak win this match and series ,they are easily the World cup winners 2007

 

[iZeeshan]

Never mind. Sky was going crazy. Play will resume.

4 inning changes in 2 days!

 

[Straight Bat]

'Rameez be ready at 7:15'

'No, I have that Inzi thing'

'The inzi thing will finish by 6:30'

Hahahaha

 

[rizy]

just pray akmal has not got butter hands

ha hah

 

[Hash]

If Pak win this match and series ,they are easily the World cup winners 2007

yeah except this is test cricket and the world cup is ODI cricket.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Woolmer and Inzi must have a talk with Kamran before this innings begins

 

[Hash]

Oh, the play has ended for today.

err no it hasn't mate

 

[Uzzy]

'Rameez be ready at 7:15'

'No, I have that Inzi thing'

'The inzi thing will finish by 6:30'

Hahahaha

??

 

[Lightning]

SA barely got past 180 thanks to a Boucher special. I expect a thriller.

 

[KA$H]

need some luck this innings too

COME ON PAK!!!!!!!!

 

[Easa]

Oh, the play has ended for today.

Umm.. no thats incorrect.

 

[Usman Chadda]

30 wickets and still a few minutes to go till day 2 ends!

 

[Vegitto1]

Jackass invited Rameez at 7.30 down at the pool and has asked him to wear shorts.

 

[Hash]

first ball Smith hits Asif for six over long on!

 

[iZeeshan]

err no it hasn't mate

I KNow I am sorry. Sky made me think it was.

Guys, its just gonna be like the 1st test. Except easier. Btw, we ARE like 30 runs short. Had we gotten them, it would have been quite easy. We'll have to get Boucher if we start off flying.
