Pakistan South Africa | 2nd Test | Cape Town | 15/2/13 | Day 2

[Strike!]

Tanvir.

 

[adnan yasin]

TAnvir thinking that he will survive only by scoring

 

[Justcrazy]

260 / 6

 

[PakPosheeda]

130 km bowler given too much respect. Tanvir should smash him over his head

 

[saiyan0312]

sarfraz got his highest score 7.... comeon man make a 50 today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz needs to score here

 

[saiyan0312]

sarfraz pulled philander but no run...

 

[IAJ]

almost run out

 

[Osman]

what a pathetic stroke

 

[JibranAnsari]

looks like it is going to be a 100 runs partership

 

[IAJ]

 

[adnan yasin]

Inside edge



what the hell was he trying to do ... double minded i guess

 

[saiyan0312]

peterson really is useless .... run out missed and again by sarfraz ... 11 runs now..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lovely inside edge for 4

 

[Osman]

sarfraraz really is a clueless tailender

 

[IAJ]

good positive batting by Sarfraz. two more runs

 

[saiyan0312]

what the hell was he trying to do ... double minded i guess

Hey as long as they come

now this is a good shot for 2 runs.. well getting bat on ball will make the ball lose shine fast.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good by sarfaraz , shabaz srfaraz , shut us up today.

 

[Speedster1]

Gone!

 

[IAJ]

and he is

 

[IAJ]

crazy catch

 

[adnan yasin]

briliant catch bu elgar

SAF gone

 

[Jo_Don]

Brilliant catch that.

 

[Osman]

pathetic player gos

 

[saiyan0312]

new ball again strikes and sarfraz gone but what a catch.. world class catch.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Fixing Fixing Fixing....

Both batsmen out on 111 .....

its double nelson 111+111 = 222 ...

 

[Osman]

those who support sarfaraz...he has batted 5 times now with a highest score of 13....complete lalloo

 

[IAJ]

briliant catch bu elgar

SAF gone

It was Alviro

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a catch and sarfaraz goes .. need some big hitting from gul now. At least score 290

 

[Random Aussie]

LOL , I hope you are watching how he moves the ball both ways after pitching.

I find it hard to understand how Pakistan fans, who saw Asif operate, fail to understand what Philander does. Line and length and subtle movement, and he makes it count when conditions are in his favour.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sarfraz gone, another pathetic inns.

This loser should never be picked for pakistan again.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[saiyan0312]

pathetic player gos

Come on he was looking good and he made nice strokes.... but again that bowl and that catch... but yeah he was getting too strokey....

 

[CalculatedRisk]

I hope this is the last ever series for Sarfraz.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Brilliant catch indeed. Too bad, Sarfraz was looking good.

 

[IAJ]

these kind of catches should not be allowed in cricket, it's unfair

 

[battler]

Trundler new ball bully philander gets his 4th wicket.

 

[adnan yasin]

Hey as long as they come

now this is a good shot for 2 runs.. well getting bat on ball will make the ball lose shine fast.

haha... thats why they play every ball and edged it

 

[IAJ]

now get ready for some action

 

[Speedster1]

Brilliant catch.

Should still get to the 300 park with bit of slogging..no bonus runs though

 

[JibranAnsari]

Giving away cheap wickets to philander

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need sum Big Hitting now from Tanvir and gul

 

[Red Devil]

300 is out of question now.

 

[IAJ]

what defence from Gul

 

[PakPosheeda]

Sarfraz gone, another pathetic inns.

This loser should never be picked for pakistan again.

Didn't you disappear when he scored 92 in the warm up game )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need 34 runs here from somewhere, even then 300 is below on this surface i reckon.

 

[Jo_Don]

I find it hard to understand how Pakistan fans, who saw Asif operate, fail to understand what Philander does. Line and length and subtle movement, and he makes it count when conditions are in his favour.

It's only magical and wizardry if it's being done by a Pakistani.

 

[IAJ]

300 is out of question now.

easy man, we will make it InshaAllah

 

[PakPosheeda]

Trundler new ball bully philander gets his 4th wicket.

They're proving me right left and right.

 

[RehanG]

please please please kick this sarfraz tendulkar out of the team

 

[shane]

When will Pakistan learn that they cannot defend? Defending is meant to be a way of preserving your wicket yet Pakstanis are FAR more likely with their pathetic technique to get out doing that.

 

[RehanG]

It's only magical and wizardry if it's being done by a Pakistani.

finally u understand

 

[Red Devil]

Gully needs to get into his attacking mode

 

[saiyan0312]

philander... unstoppable with the new ball in bowling conditions... come on guys stay their till the bowl loses teh shine.. steyn already has lost it he will too. and then he will be worse then a trundler.

 

[karachiite]

Bechara sarfaraz was batting well. Unlucky to be caught out by such a beauty. Played it with softish hands.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gul needs to hit a few sixers

 

[Random Aussie]

Come on Pakistan tough it out for 34 more runs

 

[Digital]

Pakistan don't have wicket keeper batsmen

 

[adnan yasin]

Want umar gul to smash morkel short pitch stuff to mid wicket

 

[Amjid Javed]

Didn't you disappear when he scored 92 in the warm up game )

) yeah and you will dissapear like sarfaraz hopefully soon.

This is the difference between Test matches and "warm up games" - In test matches cardboard cut out technics like Sarfraz will get found out....

Now run along like Sarfraz

 

[PakPosheeda]

It's only magical and wizardry if it's being done by a Pakistani.

Asif has done this on flat tracks. Failender looks cannon fodder even at home with the old ball. Wait till he actually bowls a ball in subcontinent before declaring this home track new ball bully an ATG.

 

[HASHAM2]

Bring back Kami

 

[saiyan0312]

come on gul.. remind the saffers the horror of T20 world cup....

 

[khan1992]

those who support sarfaraz...he has batted 5 times now with a highest score of 13....complete lalloo

He Averages Same as Azhar in SA

 

[adnan yasin]

just 32 more runs please

 

[saiyan0312]

Want umar gul to smash morkel short pitch stuff to mid wicke

Thats his favourite shot.... hope he hits them like he did it to kallis...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both Tanvir and Gul can bat so we need 15+ runs from both here...

 

[Digital]

Even 300 is okayish score from here

 

[Justcrazy]

268 / 7

 

[saiyan0312]

that swung a little too far...

 

[PakPosheeda]

Come on Pakistan tough it out for 34 more runs

If Pak tough it out for 34 more runs, the ball will get too old by then. Expect 100 more runs then as the new ball bullies will be hiding again.

) yeah and you will dissapear like sarfaraz hopefully soon.

This is the difference between Test matches and "warm up games" - In test matches cardboard cut out technics like Sarfraz will get found out....

Now run along like Sarfraz

If warm up games aren't important, why were you hiding like Steyn during 45th to 80th over?

100,000 one liner posts and not one worth reading

 

[adnan yasin]

beauty by philander

 

[Random Aussie]

Asif has done this on flat tracks. Failender looks cannon fodder even at home with the old ball. Wait till he actually bowls a ball in subcontinent before declaring this home track new ball bully an ATG.

He is taking nearly six wickets per Test at an average of 18. Five more Tests and he has played 20, which is the accepted qualification mark. Unless the wheels fall off between now and then he will be up there with the very very very best.

Granted he is fat and boring to watch, but he gets results more talunted bowlers do not.

 

[Osman]

gul batting without intent here...

 

[saiyan0312]

if these two make their averages we will reach 300.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hit this trundler out of park

dammit the trundler hits

 

[Osman]

He Averages Same as Azhar in SA

azhar at least has runs in other parts of the world....this guy is a complete hack even on flat tracks

 

[adnan yasin]

plumb in front

 

[saiyan0312]

that looked plumb philander strikes and review

 

[Aman]

India will learn a lot from this series, if they survive the new ball there's runs there to be had.
