Pakistan South Africa | 2nd Test | Cape Town | 14/2/13 | Day 1

[Aman]

Better to score a brisk 20-30 rather than sit back and get out for single digits, the sa's are just far too good

 

[Saurav]

poor shot

 

[Sherlock]

So Azhar is gone and so do I think is his place on this tour.

 

[Osman]

phattu player out

 

[battler]

Out

 

[Mamoon]

Go to work people or have some sleep or whatever.

Cure of insomnia is here

 

[IAJ]

after blocking so many deliveries, what was the need for that Azhar?

 

[Saurav]

wasn't that a no-ball?

no

 

[JibranAnsari]

So that's the batting misbah cultivated in last two years?

 

[Sherlock]

He's been soooo poor recently.

 

[Strike!]

Pathetic.

 

[Saurav]

Kepler ke mun me mitee

lol

 

[Aman]

Azhar out to the weakest of the SA attack

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Poor shot.

Hafeez was unlucky got a great ball. Looks very tough, we need at least 250 but it looks unlikely.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

U dnt play strokes you will be out like this.

 

[Osman]

pathetic player azhar ali

 

[easy_like_sunday]

Pitches were flat.

Pitches were flat? what about overhead conditions were they flat aswel lmao

 

[shah_1]

TUK TUK then get out

wah jee wha

 

[waqar goraya]

Misbah,the warrior comes at the crease..

 

[IAJ]

There is not a single player who is playing positively here. Wait and see how SA bat, they will not let any bowler get settled.

No valentine's day love showed by SA pacers here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We will get out under 100

 

[khan1992]

Fantastic inning by the great azhar ali

 

[Aman]

U dnt play strokes you will be out like this.

Azhar doesn't really have the shots that other batsmen do

 

[IAJ]

Misbah

 

[Aman]

Effectively down to 4-5 with a long tail and awful WK batsmen

 

[MRSN]

even the overrated Morkel is picking up wickets now

 

[Osman]

this is pathetic from pakistan

 

[Saurav]

misbah gone as well

 

[akamaka]

catching practice

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lmao Misbah gone.

 

[MarkCooper]

Pakistan are rubbish.

 

[waqar goraya]

Misbah,the warrior comes at the crease..

Does not last long..

 

[JibranAnsari]

what the hell

 

[Jo_Don]

Misbah out. Overrated Morne bowling well.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

epic

 

[Saurav]

even the overrated Morkel is picking up wickets now

overrated?

 

[Mamoon]

Torture over, Misbah gone.

Time for Shafiq to play another gutsy knock

 

[hur rizvi]

uffff....


4 down 6 more to go...

 

[akamaka]

please get to a 100 this time atleast

 

[Aman]

Pathetic batting Pakistan... Our series doesn't look so bad now

 

[sali]

Azhar and Hafeez should have no role oustide of subcontinent. May be Hafeez can play as a bowling all rounder but two batsman are being wasted.

 

[battler]

Oh dear

 

[Down2Earth]

100 all out now )

 

[Strike!]

Another embarrassment in the making.

 

[battler]

Horror movie again

 

[waqar goraya]

Will Steyn ever finish bowling..

 

[James]

 

[IAJ]

Just play this stupid game as a 50 overs game and get to 250 runs. You simply don't have technique to block these bowlers.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why not just hit a few now?

 

[Aman]

Unless you pick your best overseas XI and play your shots you'll just see more of this, Pakistan should learn from Bownlie and Clarke.

 

[RehanG]

50 this time guys be positive

 

[waqar goraya]

100 all out now )

100-33=67 runs more to get

 

[MRSN]

doesn't look we'll even cross 80 here..

 

[shane]

You gotta laugh. Let's see if they can get to 49.

 

[Mamoon]

overrated?

Yes overrated. He averages 30 which is poor for a bowler who plays majority of his matches on these bowling friendly wickets. He is a spray can who is all over the place generally and will get hammered quite often. Even in ODI's where he is much better, he has an economy rate of 5.

Also not to forget he is a no ball machine.

 

[mosh101]

100 all out now )

how sure are you we'll reach there?

 

[hur rizvi]

can we get past 50.......?

 

[shah_1]

4 down and 6 to go

 

[kungfu90]

Faisal Farhat should play next game. They are being missed.

 

[Sudais]

shafiq is overrated,matter of time before he gets out.

 

[Palti_hit]

excuse me!!
Morkel is not overrated.
He is better than a lot.

 

[Sunny786]

come on pakistan, attack these guys

 

[rockers2012]

The curse of Akmal brothers working....lol ...the way azhar ali and co is playing I would say that sacking Umar Akmal was a big mistake.

 

[IAJ]

Finally Amla is kind to us. Misfields.

 

[young guns]

batting will be easy after lunch...pakistan shouldnt loose any more wicket

 

[Jo_Don]

Yes overrated. He averages 30 which is poor for a bowler who plays majority of his matches on these bowling friendly wickets. He is a spray can who is all over the place generally and will get hammered quite often. Even in ODI's where he is much better, he has an economy rate of 5.

Also not to forget he is a no ball machine.

He averages less than 30. Still, if Morne is overrated, then what does that say about Jimmy?

 

[MRSN]

Morkel bowling well in this game..

 

[style_guru]

Another wicket is just a matter of time

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Lol i just missed 2 back to back wickets.

 

[waqar goraya]

Steyn is being over used

 

[rockers2012]

The pitch is not even full of grass but we are witnessing the same horrible show

 

[Aman]

1 wicket to enter the tail, what a letdown this series has been.

 

[Osman]

all is on YK

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Was this a flat batting wicket ?

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Need a big partnership now....this is the last batting pair we have.

 

[shane]

A wicket is actulally more likely than a run. All this on a flat pitch in the sun.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Single to shafiq.

 

[Mamoon]

He averages less than 30. Still, if Morne is overrated, then what does that say about Jimmy?

Anderson at the moment is on another level to Morkel.

Morkel averages 31 in the last 2 years and Anderson averages mid 20's with top class performances in the sub continent.

 

[waqar goraya]

That sunshine has killed the moisture in the pitch and resultantly the pace has increased ..

 

[Saurav]

Yes overrated. He averages 30 which is poor for a bowler who plays majority of his matches on these bowling friendly wickets. He is a spray can who is all over the place generally and will get hammered quite often. Even in ODI's where he is much better, he has an economy rate of 5.

Also not to forget he is a no ball machine.

he is inconsistent but can rip apart any side on any surface.
