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

[Digital]

Good old Pakistan collapse....

 

[Osman]

really poor from gul....as usual aimless swishing of the bat

 

[adnan yasin]

umpire thought a lot before giving the decision

just clipping

so gul gone

 

[saiyan0312]

Hit this trundler out of park

Not now.... with the new ball on bowling tracks he becomes ASIF..... OUT Umpires call gets uss... seriously last the new ball after that scoring will become a piece of cake.

 

[Osman]

absolutely no fight....pathetic

 

[JibranAnsari]

yaar , why not they just hit out. They can't defend against these snakes

 

[Digital]

8 down..now attack guys...

 

[taqi]

not reaching 275 that is shame

 

[Jo_Don]

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.

Lol you must mean the flat tracks of Pakistan where he averages 40+.

 

[Red Devil]

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

Surviving the new ball aint easy

 

[battler]

Trundled in terminator mood today!

 

[saiyan0312]

Well at the start i would have taken 268 ....

 

[Aman]

Bring back Umar Akmal and make him open, he either gets a few boundary's away or he gets out cheaply no damage done either way...

 

[RehanG]

hit tanveer HITTTTT

 

[Amjid Javed]

Really pathetic effort from pakistan this morning. Apart from the Asad/YK partnership we have offered nothing this inns.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Osman]

tanvir ahmed needs to hit out....no point hanging around with ajmal and irfan

 

[JibranAnsari]

vern is the best new ball bowler , wonderful.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tanvir needs to play a few shots here... otherwise we wont even make 275!

 

[saiyan0312]

that was a very loose shot by gul....

 

[Osman]

tanvir ahmed in fact averages 29 can bat for sure

 

[PakPosheeda]

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.

So you're saying you can become very very very best without ever playing in India/SL/Pak/UAE/Bangladesh etc.? He has NEVER bowled a single ball in Asia.

Steyn average 46 in UAE. If this trundler averages 20 in UAE like you said then I'll believe he's the real deal. As of now he's only a home track new ball bully.

 

[Aman]

Lol you must mean the flat tracks of Pakistan where he averages 40+.

Mate, Philander is sublime on pitches which offer movement but once the ball goes old he doesn't have a delivery that can pick up wickets.

 

[HASHAM2]

great short from Tanvir

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4

 

[adnan yasin]

glorious straight drive

 

[saiyan0312]

world class shot by tanvir.....

 

[Speedster1]

nice shot for four!

 

[Digital]

Four by Tanvir, need couple of those

 

[akamaka]

what a shot nvir

 

[HASHAM2]

Good short from Tanvir again
Single

 

[adnan yasin]

273/8

27 more runs

 

[Digital]

Minimum of 300

 

[Osman]

good stuff from baba tanvir

 

[khan1992]

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

what other part of the world has sarfaraz played?

 

[saiyan0312]

calling ajmal a tooth pick...

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 again by .

 

[adnan yasin]

now inside edge by ajmal

 

[HASHAM2]

Ajmal good short mate

 

[Digital]

Lucky runs

 

[Speedster1]

Another 4. inside edge by ajji

 

[JibranAnsari]

great shot for :4

 

[saiyan0312]

by ajmal tooth pick can score...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tanvir needs to keep most of the strike here.

4 runs for ajmal.

 

[adnan yasin]

277/8

 

[HASHAM2]

Solid front foot short from ajmal

 

[saiyan0312]

277 reached just need 23 more....

 

[JibranAnsari]

All 8 wickets to new ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

tanvir ahmed in fact averages 29 can bat for sure

scored 30+ v S.A on debut and test 50 v W.I

He can bat and should have come in ahead of sarfaraz!

 

[Justcrazy]

277 . 8

 

[KingKhanWC]

300 is a good mental advantage, Tano hit a quick 50 here.

 

[saiyan0312]

again world shot and good fielding....

 

[adnan yasin]

backfoot punch by tanvir

3 added

 

[Osman]

good stuff from tanvir but shouldnt be giving ajmal strike

 

[Jo_Don]

Mate, Philander is sublime on pitches which offer movement but once the ball goes old he doesn't have a delivery that can pick up wickets.

Was referring to his point about Asif bowling on flat tracks. He seems to consider an average of 42 in Pakistan to be good.

 

[HASHAM2]

another good short from tanvir

 

[Random Aussie]

So you're saying you can become very very very best without ever playing in India/SL/Pak/UAE/Bangladesh etc.? He has NEVER bowled a single ball in Asia.

Steyn average 46 in UAE. If this trundler averages 20 in UAE like you said then I'll believe he's the real deal. As of now he's only a home track new ball bully.

He can only bowl where the matches are scheduled mate. I hate watching him bowl but right now he is eighth on the ALL TIME bowling average list. If you discount those who played before the turn of the century, he is second on the list and only .60 runs behind Sidney Barnes for first place.

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal riding on luck...

 

[JibranAnsari]

That was a snake of a delivery

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Good backfoot drive there by tanvir..

 

[Osman]

what other part of the world has sarfaraz played?

wow so u think this is his first tour for pakistan?

 

[PakPosheeda]

Uh oh ball getting old. Trundlers sweating. Tanvir and Ajmal to score 111 each now.

 

[adnan yasin]

I think ajmal should not be exposed

Tanvir is playing with bit ease

 

[HASHAM2]

good short from ajmal at front foot

 

[saiyan0312]

last ball .... if he survives tanvir can strike on morkel...

 

[Justcrazy]

280 / 8

 

[adnan yasin]

20 more runs for 300

 

[saiyan0312]

ball getting old... expect kallis and peterson soon

 

[PakPosheeda]

Was referring to his point about Asif bowling on flat tracks. He seems to consider an average of 42 in Pakistan to be good.

Steyn averages 46 in UAE. Asif > Steyn then?

 

[Justcrazy]

These two need to be sensible here

 

[HASHAM2]

Morkel Bouncer to Tanvir

 

[saiyan0312]

again world shot... tanvir can bat good...

 

[HASHAM2]

2 runs by Tanvir again
Tanvir is natural no-8 batsman

 

[adnan yasin]

good shot of the back foot

2 runs to tanvir

 

[speed]

Asif averages 10 in sri lanka.

 

[khan1992]

wow so u think this is his first tour for pakistan?

im sure we were talking about sarfaraz
what other parts of the world has sarfaraz played and not scored in a test?

 

[Vegitto1]

he is bowling at125 ks - why not step outside the crease?

 

[PakPosheeda]

Tailenders scoring freely against the new ball bullies now that the ball is getting old.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

2 runs by Tanvir again
Tanvir is natural no-8 batsman

tanvir is playing the new ball

 

[HASHAM2]

Good short from Tanvir
