Pakistan South Africa | 2nd Test | Cape Town | 17/2/13 | Day 4

[ViciousMachine]

aPakistan have thrown it away, batting remains the problem, they only have one big partnership and nothing else, more over, even when they bat for long periods they don't score too many runs, so the opposition always has a chance of picking up a couple of quick wickets and getting back into the game.

Pakistan need their batsmen to be more aggressive in their approach in order to win test matches.

No we dont.... how is RR the problem when you lost BOTH tests inside 4 days??? Surely Pakistani fans cannot be THIS stupid???

We actually need BETTER defense. Our useless openers need to learn how to survive a new ball attack!! If in their 4 innings, they had simply scored a 25 average, we would have had an extra 80 RUNS!!

 

[speed]

Check the strike rates 75+ for both batsman compare that to our snails.

 

[786warrior]

Gul showing Mohali form again.... Irfan the debutant is showing him how to fight

 

[Sledger]

SA doing this in their sleep.

 

[Safar55]

umar gul you are awful

 

[castortroy]

Philander and Steyn have been relentless for two test matches and then you look at how pathetic Gul is.

It really puts into perspective how far we are behind SA

 

[shokz1408]

This is absolutely pathetic. Hafeez is a useless player if he isn't going to bowl. For god sake

 

[asif9138]

yaar hafeez ko la aio

 

[Osman]

lets hope that is guls last ball for pakistan ever. **** OFF U WEASEL!

 

[Rizwan25]

Raja saying slow start for SA... Wth is wrong with him?

 

[Osman]

run rate of 4 an over

 

[CalculatedRisk]

RSD planning to finish this in 40 overs.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Check the strike rates 75+ for both batsman compare that to our snails.

Compare the BOWLING. Who the hell cannot flip a ball for 4 when its on their pads??? Bring a 13 year old playing Gully cricket and he would be hitting Gul for 4+ an over.

Same for Irfan, for all his praise, 0 wickets on a RSA pitch with a new ball. Useless bowlers. Ajmal just makes our attack seem respectable.

 

[Safar55]

rameez is an idiot who like blurb out cliches

 

[Silverlion]

Ramiz is the most annoying creature.

 

[asif9138]

misbah please attack...attack..bring in silly mid off

 

[ViciousMachine]

lets hope that is guls last ball for pakistan ever. **** OFF U WEASEL!

Agreed!! If you cannot even ball 6 good balls in a row, go back to domestic circuit!

We are playing in RSA, pace bowler HEAVEN, and our pace attack has done nothing again.

 

[Osman]

ajmal building dots but getting no support

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Where is Hafeez>

 

[mosh101]

The way these two are batting, even 250 would have been a mediocre total

 

[asif9138]

need a mircle

 

[Sledger]

Another Ajmal over kept out.

 

[asif9138]

no doosra yet?

 

[ViciousMachine]

Ajmal bowls a tight over - maiden.

Can somebody PLEASE take advantage and not give it away????

 

[mosh101]

So called professor to bowl

 

[asif9138]

hafeez is on

 

[Silverlion]

try everything even the Karachi express - tanveer ahmed.

Even younus.

tells our desperation.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez on, single to Smith straight away.

 

[Sledger]

That was a shocking ball.

 

[asif9138]

44444

 

[mosh101]

Smashed for four ! Being massacred at the moment

 

[asif9138]

bring in tanveer......lol

 

[ViciousMachine]

and then 4....
Ajmal bowls a maiden, in 2 balls Hafeez releases pressure.

 

[IAJ]

That is how you play spinners. Where are the jokers who were supporting blocking of Azhar Ali when Peterson bowled som bad balls?

 

[uberkoen]

Hafeez has issues with the ball

 

[asif9138]

these are 2nd quality balls

 

[mosh101]

Take that professor !! FOURRRRRRRRRR

 

[Sledger]

Prof not happy with the circumference of the spherical projectile.

 

[Osman]

as predicted amla is going to finish this quickly

 

[Silverlion]

Who the hell is laughing.

 

[IAJ]

Lovely batting by Amla. Really like this positive batting.

 

[asif9138]

4 again

 

[CalculatedRisk]

PAK did well to match RSA in the first innings. They have competed. This is enough while taking into account the difference in ability, fitness, mental toughness, professionalism in the teams.

 

[Sledger]

Single and now all eyes on Ajmal again to see if he can take 3 wickets in an over.

 

[ReluctantT]

couple of wickets,match will become interesting,keep fighting.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

RSA not will keep the pain brief. I think this will finish in 30 more overs.

 

[asif9138]

bring in azhar ali for leg spin

 

[Safar55]

runs flowing... these two smith and amla doing what they did to australia.... just walking away with game

 

[mosh101]

these are 2nd quality balls

Amazing how you consider these as 2nd quality ! 3rd class bolo bhaiii

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

That is how you play spinners. Where are the jokers who were supporting blocking of Azhar Ali when Peterson bowled som bad balls?

Rather than name calling. .. Its better to try and learn about cricket. ..


Amla is the world's best batsman. ...

He has the capability. ...

Azhar is a limpet. .. in comparison.

 

[kamz]

and congratulationsSouth Africa, clinical stuff, saying that pakistan imploded and gave away wickets, is taking away credit from South African bowlers, where they bowled beautifully first up this morning

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Amla class batting.

 

[asif9138]

i think most of PPers left

 

[mosh101]

At same stage we would have been 40-5

 

[mosh101]

Ajmal strikes

 

[Sledger]

Out lbw. Smith gone.

 

[Sledger]

Looked out and Smith walks.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Ajmal. .. ..


Ajmal. ......


Ajmal......


Ajmal. ......


Ajmal.. ....

 

[IAJ]

finally the second wicket.

 

[Silverlion]

out

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Gone!

 

[asif9138]

outttttttt

 

[sam_ahm]

No we dont.... how is RR the problem when you lost BOTH tests inside 4 days??? Surely Pakistani fans cannot be THIS stupid???

Get some brains yourself mate, at the end of the day you need to score runs to win games, scoring is THE most important part of cricket no matter what the format.

when the scoreboard isn't moving there is not enough pressure on the opposition, it's always a case of a couple of quick wickets and you're back in it. Pakistan seem to take ages to score a run these days, they are more concerned about not getting out rather than scoring some runs.

 

[ViciousMachine]

AJMAL !!!!!

One man vs the world !!!

 

[mosh101]

What a poor shot selection by smith

 

[akamaka]

 

[Sledger]

Huge wicket and there's still a small chance for Pakistan thanks to you know who.

 

[battler]

Out

 

[Osman]

false hope. Kallis in to help Amla home. With no-one supporting Ajmal from the other end nothing can be done. Sorely missing Rehman

 

[Safar55]

smith gone.... ajmal just two more wickets this over and we are on target

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Need 1-2 more quick ones.

 

[asif9138]

is that a turning point?

 

[Sledger]

Now for the choke. Pakistan are always dangerous straight after a wicket. Need to run with the momentum and take out another 1-2 quickly.

 

[IAJ]

Just 8 more wickets now guys. Get out Amla first please

 

[ReluctantT]

Collapse started

That is a gibberish argument. If Misbah doesnt try that stupid sweep to get runs, NONE of this happens.

Of course the goal is to score runs. But even scoring at 2 - 2.5 runs per over is enough for Pakistan. We will never score 500+ The odds of us ever running out of time are MINOR! We dont need to score fast with this pathetic batting lineup. We just need to score!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We need amla and kallis in the next 7 overs

 

[yasir]

There is no pressure on the other end... Hafeez needs to step up

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

No we dont.... how is RR the problem when you lost BOTH tests inside 4 days??? Surely Pakistani fans cannot be THIS stupid???

Why talk sense on PP? It's not allowed...

 

[Saudi]

Now for the choke. Pakistan are always dangerous straight after a wicket. Need to run with the momentum and take out another 1-2 quickly.

So you're saying we unleash the Tanvir then. Sounds a plan...
