Pak Vs Sa: Test 3: Day 3: Can we do it ?

[madaboutlfc]

why not rest him for a bit.. give a couple of overs to hafeez

 

[Amjid Javed]

These two guys are likely to graft it out so if we can get em now then panic may set in!

 

[shan]

50/4 we need quick wickets.

 

[TheSaint]

Inzi smiling - A jaffa from Asif- Kallis beaten all ends up

 

[Amjid Javed]

what a ball! sqaured up kallis and some how misses the edge!

 

[sehban]

Asif should be rested after this test series.

i agree with u atleast for the 20-20 , & the 1st two onedays

 

[shan]

what a ball! sqaured up kallis and some how misses the edge!

plz kallis go

 

[iafzal]

commentator mentioned Sami has bandage on and not sure if he can bowl.

 

[ZM]

what a beauty from asif beating kallis' outside edge

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

what a ball from asif!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow that one wuz mighty close. Poor Asif!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kaneria bowls a beauty to prince, turns miles.

appeal for a catch not given

 

[CricketBuff]

will it be 50/5

 

[Ahmad]

Great humour..!
If Asif doesn't stop bowling they should re-name his end 'The Mohammad Asif End' - he's part of the furniture now.
28.4 Mohammad Asif to Kallis, no run, sends that one down the channel outside off and the batsman shoulders arms

cricinfo

 

[iZeeshan]

Loud appeal. Was it out?

 

[Amjid Javed]

dead ball as Prince just kicks one away outside off-stick.

 

[TheSaint]

Parker declines an appeal- Turned sharply for Danish from the rough across the pads to Akmal.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Loud appeal. Was it out?

Nah.

 

[Nauman]

Need 2 more wickets before lunch.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just maidens. The pressure has to be building up! But nothing going.

I say bring in Sami, and have him bowl some yorkers.

 

[TheSaint]

6 wickets to get for us- 111 behind SA. Asif brings another slip in.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asifs tenth straight over, still hitting the same good areas on the pitch.

2 for 5 in this spell.

 

[Amir]

We atleast need one more wicket before the lead gets to 100

 

[KB]

This is magnificent bowling from Asif, it really is.

 

[TheSaint]

That was another coat of varnish stuff

 

[iZeeshan]

Cant believe Asif is continuing! Wow!

 

[Amjid Javed]

ooooh! how the fk did that miss off stump?

kallis leaves ball and it must have shaved the bails!

 

[iZeeshan]

Where does the ball go from? Fantastic delievery!

 

[Mike Bassett]

asif bowling magnificently nearly took out kallis's off stump

 

[the_game]

Asif deserves Kallis' wicket. He really does.

 

[KB]

Goodness me. The way Asif has bowled, he deserves to get Kallis. He has bowled wonderfully well to him.

 

[Amir]

Kallis...what a lucky knock mate.

 

[iZeeshan]

As long as these two bat, the more set they get.

Wicket is a must!

 

[TheSaint]

Kallis still looking edgy and we need to strike when the iron is hot-Ya Allah madad!!!
Naraye Takbeer- Allah O Akbar-- everybody!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

13th maiden of the morning.

111 still needed.

 

[pak4life]

they are just waiting for nazir/sami to come on

 

[Mike Bassett]

These batesman don't have a clue what there doing out there

Just itching and scratching each others arses

 

[Saqib]

Damn Poor Asif we realy need to stop him before something happen to him aswell.

Can Mohammed Sami bowl today ?

 

[TheSaint]

Waisay if we were batting like this today- All of us would be cursing the batsmen for going into a shell and letting the bowlers dictate terms. Cruel game this- and cruel supporters.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Kallis still looking edgy and we need to strike when the iron is hot-Ya Allah madad!!!
Naraye Takbeer- Allah O Akbar-- everybody!!

Allah O Akbar...insAllah we will win it!

 

[shan]

"For those of you concerned about Mohammad Sami, he is on the field but has a bandage on the hand he injured late yesterday. Not sure whether he is fit to bowl, but we will keep you posted"

so sami is injured again for 2nd innings?

 

[Amjid Javed]

single stolen by prince, he didnt even play a bloody shot!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Damn Poor Asif we realy need to stop him before something happen to him aswell.

Can Mohammed Sami bowld today ?

he is on the field with a bandage on his hand

 

[Amjid Javed]

so samis done an akthar then? haha!

 

[Saj]

so true Saint.

Pressure cricket eh ! Some guys crumble others are made for these situations. Sadly in our batting ranks we have "crumblers"

 

[Amjid Javed]

sweep and a miss by kallis.

good bowling from kaneria.

 

[Mike Bassett]

This partnership is getting frustrating we need a wicket now plz!

 

[KA$H]

brilliant pressure build up from the bowlers

quite solid batting from the saffies

i've a feeling the floodgates will open once nazir/sami start

 

[Saqib]

so samis done an akthar then? haha!

Mohammed Asif can't bowl for ever !
Even Nazir should have got another chance by Inzamam

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kallis seems to be ready kaneria well thus far.

 

[badxhah]

"For those of you concerned about Mohammad Sami, he is on the field but has a bandage on the hand he injured late yesterday. Not sure whether he is fit to bowl, but we will keep you posted"

so sami is injured again for 2nd innings?

I thk Miggy bahi got his wish ,, can sami do a shoobby

 

[TheSaint]

Lets just hope Kallis becomes a cookie today and crumbles first -he has been edgy but a touch lucky.

 

[KA$H]

looks like asif will only come off once he's got a wicket

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asif still seems eager to bowl. hes smiling and asking for the ball.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

asif can't even get any rest...kaneria bowls his overs so quickly

 

[PlanetPakistan]

So who should replace Asif?

 

[CricketBuff]

what a fight back by pak

 

[shan]

I thk Miggy bahi got his wish ,, can sami do a shoobby

) ) but did Sami got 4 wickets in first innings?

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 51/4 (110 to win or 6 wkts)

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think Asif should try sneak in a yorker a surprise.

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for prince, full ball whipped thru legside.

52/4

 

[TheSaint]

90 minutes he has bowled for non-stop Asif still bowling a lovely line-length MashaAllah but needs a rest -surely.

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 leg byes now, good running there.

54/4

 

[pak4life]

good to see the drugs are still working
can he bowl until the lunch break? hope so

 

[madaboutlfc]

i have a feeling if asif is rested for a bit saffers will lose wickets thinking they can attack the weaker bowlers

 

[TheSaint]

You never know a change in bowler may break the concentration for these guys and give us a cheap wicket- Eternal optimist me .

 

[CricketBuff]

think we shd bring on sami now

 

[TheSaint]

Inzi looking at Sami's right hand and probably asking him if he would like a crack at it.

 

[shan]

really we need wicket now, just 107 runs needed with 6 wickets at hand!

 

[inzibhai]

think we need to bring Hafeez now....give asif a rest and bring him back for a spell just be4 lunch..i think Hafeez do just fine here..what do you guys think?

 

[pacman]

think we need to bring Hafeez now....give asif a rest and bring him back for a spell just be4 lunch..i think Hafeez do just fine here..what do you guys think?

I agree, I think we need spin at both ends.

 

[KB]

This is a big moment in the day. Sami replacing Asif. The pressure must be kept up.

 

[kablooee87]

asif has left the field. Inzi was looking at sami's hand.

 

[KA$H]

sami on

 

[darkmoon459]

sami is on now

 

[kablooee87]

err sorry for being so late. I guess my feed is really behind.

 

[iZeeshan]

Sami on. Come on lad!

 

[KA$H]

his hand looks heavily strapped up

 

[shan]

one wicket before launch and the game is on

 

[PlanetPakistan]

M Sami should see it as a big opportunity because the S African batsmen are under a lot of pressure!
