[Friend786]

totsy bowling well !

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asad has started off well here!

 

[NJamal]

Kaalia is a dangerous bowler

 

[Iqbal'sh]

Pitch. Ten Cricket's Pommie Mbangwa reckons that the pitch looks dry and that the spinners will come into play in the afternoon. He also expects that dew will play its part later on.

Spinners will be less effective if they can't grip the ball.
It may liven the pitch up a bit to help Shoaib and Gul (or it may come onto the Saffers bats nicely) alas there will be no reverse swing due to the ball getting wet.
May be more swing in the 2nd session for the new ball bowlers.

 

[Friend786]

wide

 

[insaftak]

asad is going to get out if he doesn't stop poking at every ball outside off stump.

 

[NJamal]

wide

 

[Maula Jutt]

Ramiz moaning about how he was pushed from middle order to open and how tough his life became all of a sudden because of it.

[Amjid Javed]

Asad need to learn to play with soft hands with some of his strokes.

[Free Hit]

ramiz trying to justify his batting skills by saying he was moved up forcefully

I hope Hafeez can convert his good form into something substantial

 

[NJamal]

13/0 after 2 overs

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 0/13 | 2 Overs | Asad 10*, Hafeez 0*

6 off the over!

 

[shaykh1985]

Lol Shafiq is hogging strike at the moment...this Tsotsobe guy seems to like us...3 wides in 2 overs for Saffas...sloppy on their part...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Saffers are a bowler short today...We need to post a pretty healthy total...They bat very deep,all the way to no. 8..So,need something over 240..(I know I am asking for too much but.. )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 13/0 after 2

S.A bowlers looking to bowl tight lines and wait for a pakistan batsmen to throw their wicket away!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lol Shafiq is hogging strike at the moment...this Tsotsobe guy seems to like us...3 wides in 2 overs for Saffas...sloppy on their part...

Thats good because hafeez bats like a snail!

 

[jasimisbest2]

one person that i would prefer to see dead or just left cricket forever would be RAMEEZ RAJA... he is a curse for pakistan team

 

[ballack13]

[Batman]

Pakistan | 0/13 | 3 Overs | Asad 10*, Hafeez 0*

Maiden!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ball is definitely moving even from a shorter length..needs to play straight..

 

[Ismailtoca]

WTH putting Shafiq to open!!!


Destroy a career before it starts

 

[duostyle]

Hafeez needs to get going here

 

[hur rizvi]

Ball is swinging for both bowlers ...

 

[shaykh1985]

AB averages 107.85 with a SR of 113.36 from 12 matches in 2010...that is just crazy...

 

[jasimisbest2]

this Kaalia is bowling superbly, no room or chance for the batmen whats so ever...

 

[shaykh1985]

Hafeez should have put that for 4...

 

[jasimisbest2]

Good shot by hafeez for nothing...

 

[NJamal]

Good bounce by Kaalia

 

[insaftak]

what the hell was that hafeez

 

[ZAK]

[shaykh1985]

2 successive maidens...Saffas bowling well here especially Tsotsobe...

[Batman]

Pakistan | 0/13 | 4 Overs | Asad 10* (16), Hafeez 0*(8)

Another Maiden!

 

[duostyle]

Decent bowler.

Tsotsobe could be SA's Amir

 

[shaykh1985]

Nice releases the pressure...

 

[jasimisbest2]

another Maiden.... Pakistan heading for 35 runs in first 15 overs....

Then as usual, batsman will get out,... the rest of team will play under pressure...

Pakistan all out for 110
