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

[A-1]

Great batting from these two so far. Really impressed with shafiq

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Younis looking to get some quick runs before the new ball is taken.

 

[Seen Sheen]

I hope they dont get anxious now. Bith looking to score their tons before the new ball gets due. Need to play deliveries on merit still.

 

[Sledger]

Na, I think his cover drive earlier on was slightly better.

Maybe, tbf, I've only seen around 15 overs.

 

[saiyan0312]

easy singles with mid on gone.... smith is losing it and choking...

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

15 overs remaining in today's play.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Going a long way across.

 

[Square Drive]

They should seriously give Faf an over or two now.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

man i cant believe i am missing class batting due to damn wapda..

hahaha

 

[IAJ]

Amazing that both batsmen have maintained more or less same SR

 

[saiyan0312]

looks like saffers have no idea how to use reverse swing

 

[Sledger]

Class timing, four more.

 

[Square Drive]

Shafiq Will Beat YK To It!

YK will do it first! I challenge you.

Both are currently on 90.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Beautiful shot :4

 

[Square Drive]

Excellent shot! Shafiq moves on to 94.

 

[imshally81]

From Cricinfo

Shahebaz: "Whatever happened to good-old reverse swing with old ball? Why RSA avoiding it and waiting for new ball instead?"

Good Point

 

[IAJ]

Ya Allah, douno century bana lein

 

[A-1]

Brilliant from shafiq what shot that was

 

[Sledger]

Remember Asad, whenever you're on 94, you need to hit a six or the century doesn't count .

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[TalhaSyed]

34 runs in last 5 overs - 3 4s and 2 6s - trying to get to their 100s before the new ball on 5 overs?

Just having said that what a shot for 4 by Shafiq mashallah!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Shafiq is really making a name for himself in this series.

 

[saiyan0312]

by asad

asad 94

 

[Sledger]

Kallis with a 140k bouncer effort ball.

 

[IAJ]

Lols Shafiq has really made Kallis angry today.

 

[imshally81]

Last 10 overs 52/0 RR 5.20

 

[Square Drive]

Poor Asad leaving them alone to make me win my challenge.

 

[Sledger]

Tempting full ball, very smart leave by Shafiq.

 

[khan1992]

Misbah Looking Happy In The Dressing Room lol

[saiyan0312]

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is flat , need to score as many as possible.

 

[TalhaSyed]

4.26 runs per over in this session mashallah

 

[Sledger]

6 more to Younis, he wants to win the race.

 

[IAJ]

[Akmal Dynasty]

[lahoriyah1234]

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz ahmed and tanvir should also be able to get some runs here.

 

[Osman]

YK to get a century in this over!

[Sledger]

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[Wazeeri]

They need to calm down a bit, you don't want to lose a wicket when batting is so easy.

 

[Square Drive]

6 more to Younis, he wants to win the race.

Or he wants me to win my challenge.

 

[A-1]

Superb batting from Yk

 

[battler]

Peterson is getting a phainty of a life time!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Peterson should retire now.

He has the support of the best fast bowling attack in the world and yet he is useless

 

[saiyan0312]

97 for younis khan and 94 by asad..

 

[Justcrazy]

350 is not enough on the pitch

can get double here

 

[Wazeeri]

Less coming down the track please.
Not good for my heart

 

[yasir]

Facing Styen with new ball in the afternoon is much better than in the morning... This may not be bad for Pakistan, if SA bowls 10 overs of new ball today... These guys need to stay focused...

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq keeps strike.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Peterson getting close to century.

Just 18 more runs to go

 

[Square Drive]

Shafiq! Y u take the strike?! I might get proved wrong now.

 

[Justcrazy]

:asad needs to make this innings count here, he needs to set high standards , try and go for a really big one here.

 

[Areesh]

Shafiq keeps strike.

Pehlai main century banaon ga.

 

[Sledger]

Elgar bowling.

 

[IAJ]

Smith giving easy way to both batsmen

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq 95 keeps strike... peterson was soo bad.. what is smith thinking.. this is seriously bad captaincy on his part.. its like he has given up till the new ball comes.

 

[Square Drive]

Dean Elgar to bowl now. Asad might get there first after all.

 

[Sledger]

96 to Asad now.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Elgar bowling now..Come on boyz milk him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 189 runs so far.

 

[Square Drive]

Single first ball. Asad on 96, Younus on 97 and on strike.

 

[Sledger]

99* to Younis, very good placement.

 

[saiyan0312]

smith saw how pethatic peterson was elgar bowling but its a little too late..

 

[Square Drive]

Younus on 99.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

on 99 *

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to concentrate here, crucial not to give a wicket here at this stage. You need to aim for at least 400 plus here.

 

[insaftak]

100 up for Younis Khan!!!

Well Played

 

[Sledger]

There we go, 100 to Younis and people wanted him and Ajmal out of the side LOL.

 

[saiyan0312]

99 oh man i wanted asad to get it first..
