Pakistan collapse to 190 all out at stumps on Day 2, set South Africa target of 149 to win

[Titan24]

Commentator saying Pak 2nd inning batting average is 112 need to realize most of the 2nd innings came playing 4th innings.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Can see fakhar lasting long here, drive to slips coming up.

 

[Rana]

The wicket of Fakhar here is just going to put unneccesary pressure on the rest of the side. But he will be a goner soon

 

[letme alone]

imam will make eagi 100 here

 

[Titan24]

Can see fakhar lasting long here, drive to slips coming up.

I dont mind playing shots but openers should wear the ball for 10 overs atleast.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Not much variable bounce and movement, Pak did well to restrict lead to 42.

 

[Titan24]

imam will make eagi 100 here

If anyone for Pakistan scores a 100 here where only couple of batsmen have scored 50 so far, Pak will win the match

 

[Rana]

Fakhar needs a boundary to ease the nerves at the crease

 

[Titan24]

Some nice leaves so far for the openers

 

[Rana]

Fakhar seems well out of his depth here

 

[AAli98]

Sharjeel would have scored heavily here, he prefers extra bounce very un subcontinent like batsman.

 

[ads101]

Strangely enough think we're favourites here to win from this positions. Our bowlers did really well to ensure that.

 

[Titan24]

Fakhar needs a boundary to ease the nerves at the crease

He needs to realize in tests, you dont have to create the shot rather just wait for the bad ball as there is no RR pressure.

 

[aukhan]

dropped.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Amla drops a chance. Imam survives.

 

[Asif321]

Imam dropped lollll
Easy chance

 

[Amjid Javed]

Imam survives, needs to cash in now!

 

[Titan24]

Comeon Imam, make use of this chance now

 

[Asif321]

Gosh imam looking out of sorts

 

[IAJ]

thank you Amla bhai

 

[Markhor]

Spilled.

 

[Titan24]

So many edges

 

[Gullycricket]

Why don't we rotate strike.We allow a bowler to set us up

 

[Rana]

My word how did he of all people drop that?

 

[IAJ]

Now I have seen everything, Imam to score a ton In sha Allah

 

[Amjid Javed]

Watching our openers is like watching the SL batsmen playing so tamely against Boult last night!

No foot work and just airy fairy shots.

 

[castortroy]

Only a matter of time here for Iman

 

[Ahmed216]

Bowl Imam a bouncer and get him in slips next ball

 

[barah_admi]

Imam has more lives than the catwoman

 

[Gullycricket]

Brother amla

 

[Asif321]

25 still behind

 

[Rana]

Need to play shots Imam, sitting duck atm

 

[shariqnoor]

Imam may not be the most technically gifted but boy the guy oozes confidence, no matter the situation. A rare specimen coming from Pakistan in recent times.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Imam seems to have only one shot edge behind or through slips/gully.

 

[IAJ]

Why don't we rotate strike.We allow a bowler to set us up

Rotate strike? Everything they touch are edges only, so they better leave them alone

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Classy shot by Imam

 

[m.shah]

Imam is worst then farhat

 

[Asif321]

Wow nephew with four

 

[IAJ]

Shot Imam!

 

[Asif321]

Fakhar still on zero

 

[letme alone]

good shot after good leave

 

[Rana]

When you can do that, do it IMMY!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Steyn hits the middle or Imams bat and it goes for 4.

 

[IAJ]

Poor Steyn, must be frustrating for him

 

[Titan24]

Imam needs to change his guard to middle rather then leg, i know he has problem with LBW as well but he needs to take control of the edges as well.

 

[Ahmed216]

We needed an opener who could blunt the new ball here. Batting with a softer ball is much easier in SA. Instead Pak have opted for flashy Fakhar

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Lol Immu dropped and next ball falls short of slip.

Needs to cash in now he has been extremely lucky.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

First runs for Fakhar

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar gets off the mark.

 

[Rana]

Missing the leg stump line as usual is Fakhar

 

[a_tahir]

Steyn hits the middle or Imams bat and it goes for 4.

Amla helping the fellow muslims.
RESPECT

 

[Titan24]

He is the best opener in FC for some years now

 

[Rana]

Good running!

 

[castortroy]

You can't survive on this game playing the waiting game

Fakhar is better off attacking as the pace and movement will eventually get him

 

[letme alone]

start with 2

 

[Rana]

Rabada is a danger bowler!

 

[Titan24]

Theh should play their shots after 10 overs. Cant see any batsmen surviving here just by looking to defend.

 

[Rana]

So far so good. Hang in there Imam buddy, a lot depends on you now!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another edge for four. This time off Fakhar's bat.

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar with a

 

[Rana]

I love cricket in south africa!

 

[letme alone]

4

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

After a long time luck with Pakistan Cant remember the last time we were lucky in tests.

 

[Titan24]

Our openers are standing too much on leg stump

 

[Markhor]

Fakhar has looked unconvincing so far. Streaky boundary.

 

[Rana]

What a ball by Steyn!

 

[Amjid Javed]

15 behind, keep going boys.

 

[shariqnoor]

Fakhar is clueless out there. Only a matter of time before he's back in the hut it seems.

 

[Mueez]

Jaffa by Steyn!

 

[IAJ]

The way these two are bowling here, even the best ones in World would have struggled.

 

[Markhor]

What are you doing chasing those deliveries a foot outside offstump Fakhar ? Calm down.

 

[IAJ]

Just hang in there guys, it will get easier IA

 

[QalandarFan]

Fakhar seem’s in two minds out there. One ball he is leaving the next he is looking to smack the leather out of...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Must be an asian batting thing of moving to leg stump then trying to drive the ball

 

[castortroy]

Will be difficult to survive Rabada bowling

 

[mak36]

Fakhar needs to stop chasing wide ones, especially when the ball is brand new!

 

[letme alone]

just need to stay. Boundary will come in this pitch with no effort.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Fakhar seem’s in two minds out there. One ball he is leaving the next he is looking to smack the leather out of...

needs to somehow ride his luck and stay in.

 

[IAJ]

Fakhar actually has good defence, just needs to stop flashing way outside off

 

[Pete Rose]

This is just too unnerving too watch while hiding behind the sofa
