Pakistan v South Africa | 1st Test | Dubai | 12/11/10 | Day 1: Session 1 & 2

[Sherazkhalid]

Even though the LBW decisions were 50-50, I am sure they would have been against Pakistan batsmen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I saw the Gul one (edge) not been given by Harper - Which were the other 2 decisions? I caught a late LBW reply which was shown to be clipping the leg stump, which was the other one?

 

[aamerfan]

these umps are pissing me off

the bowlers do their best only to have these two say not out

 

[Zaheer Abbas's Fan]

Did I miss something? Why is MoYo not in the team? How do you leave out the world record holder for most runs in a year for those other guys?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Pitch is a belter for batting so wont be expecting more than 3 wickets today if these umpires allow that to happen ofcourse!

Anymore than 3 I'd consider that as a bonus!

the ball will reverse here big time imo and we have the 2 best in the business

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Beauty by Gul

Beaten outside the offstump!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I don't see us getting 20 wickets, Wahab is already out of ideas, bowling way off to get his economy rate better.

 

[Newton_fan]

First bad keeping by Adnan

 

[spoiled]

inzi used to walk, so does YK and Moyo.

ill have to see it to believe it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

the ball will reverse here big time imo and we have the 2 best in the business

I hope so too.... InshahAllah

 

[yadunoe]

is taufeeq a good bowler?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Moyo is injured.

 

[iHammad]

good stop by

 

[imshally81]

Nice Start by pakistan.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So ideally by this time we would've had atleast 2 wickets by now guys?!

 

[classic]

Don't worry guys wicket is coming very soon ..I feel it .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

First fumble by Adnan Akmal behind the stumps

But it did bounce low and before reaching him but no run given

 

[IAJ]

Akmal darmayana struggling in this over. I am glad Smith didn't nick the first ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

manjhala akmal bhi ball nhi dekhta

 

[Wised up]

ideally 2, realistically 1!

 

[Newton_fan]

Imagine Asif-Amir-Gul bowling.

Our third Best Bowler is bowling like no.1 bowler of our team, So imagine how Asif and Amir have bowled

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maiden by GULLA!

 

[SAF]

Wow IM missing school for this/??? kick out Gul please

WHYYY would you miss school for a test match. It's a freakingTEST match. Lol

 

[Afridirocks]

gulla bowling amazing

 

[JibranAnsari]

i dont see any wicket coming in the first session

 

[eViLrAcEr]

ill have to see it to believe it

I was going to say this in some other thread that you posted in, but lol...you really were born only last year

 

[IAJ]

First fumble by Adnan Akmal behind the stumps

But it did bounce low and before reaching him but no run given

Well he missed the ball earlier as well when smith played it and it missed the edge.

 

[iHammad]

maiden

 

[imshally81]

itz should be 22/2 ..... but thanx to umpires

 

[eViLrAcEr]

WHYYY would you miss school for a test match. It's a freakingTEST match. Lol

he's schmuckgrabber...leave him

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

It looks like a random practice match that got televised accidentally.
Empty stadium........

 

[iHammad]

lol it's 1:30 am, and I have school tomorrow

 

[mr einstein]

Excellent over from Gul there- Every ball right on the spot. Smith looking unsure against him.

 

[Decipher]

Now here is the dumb and blunt mental perception comes into play .... we have had three balls falling short of slips and one ball falling short of keeper.. BUT ... we will NOT adjust our slip fielding position by stepping up half a step.

 

[spoiled]

seems weird..no first change pacer
or is there guys
sad state of pakistan cricket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Haysman saying it could've been 1 down atleast by this time if not more!

 

[IAJ]

Heysman supporting Pakistan as usual

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Man Wahab, is bowling too much on the off.

 

[Newton_fan]

Thank you Commentators for criticizing umpires.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Well he missed the ball earlier as well when smith played it and it missed the edge.

Oh Ok! I must've missed that then!

 

[Eht]

dont worry guys, wicket is not far away.. and with Rameez gone as well, the chances have improved.....

 

[SAF]

lol it's 1:30 am, and I have school tomorrow

Same but I gotta study for chemistry test haha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Has Akhtar flown back to Pakistan or is he still in Dubai?

 

[Decipher]

"Testing time for SA openers" Kepler Wessels ...

Saala ullu ka patha !!! Its their lucky time ..... Pakistani bowlers are the ones having a testing time here

 

[AZ]

Haysman making a good point about UDRS: should be standardized and burden of cost should be on ICC.

 

[yadunoe]

bad bowling by wahab

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Wahab is totally ineffective, no seam movement, no line or length, either too much on the off or too short.

 

[Newton_fan]

Tanvir Ahmed looks like a Joke now in the Squad

 

[chill79]

I saw the Gul one (edge) not been given by Harper - Which were the other 2 decisions? I caught a late LBW reply which was shown to be clipping the leg stump, which was the other one?

4.6
Umar Gul to Smith, no run, appeal for lbw, ooh looked close, they're creating chances, moving it in again, nipped back from a good length and rapped him on the pads as he tried to close the face, appeared to land on middle and be heading towards leg but we need a replay, Harper the man again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

22/0 after 8 overs

3 maiden in the innings so far!

2 by Gul and 1 by Wahab

 

[iZeeshan]

Just a couple more overs and the chances for a wicket will seriously diminish.

Can't even blame hte bowlers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pulled away by Peterson

 

[AZ]

hooked away for

 

[yadunoe]

lol it's 1:30 am, and I have school tomorrow

Ok thanks!

 

[spoiled]

Now here is the dumb and blunt mental perception comes into play .... we have had three balls falling short of slips and one ball falling short of keeper.. BUT ... we will NOT adjust our slip fielding position by stepping up half a step.

i also thought about the fact when edges kept falling short in england too.. i said they should adjust their position..but the thing is that they can't..there is certain point where you have to stand

Smith was struck on the back pad and Hawkeye says it would have hit a part of leg, close call again, closer than the previous lbw appeal. Hmmm

 

[Noork85]

Is misbah missing teeth?

"Testing time for SA openers" Kepler Wessels ...

Chillllll

 

[Fish]

Haysman making a good point about UDRS: should be standardized and burden of cost should be on ICC.

What a great idea, so where will the ICC get the money to do this?.

Did Haysman go to school.

Bcci? Lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

28/0 after 9 overs

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

why would u play 2 spinners when you are also playing hafeez????

 

[IAJ]

When Umar Gul is swinging it at 135+ kmh, imagine Steyn's swing at 140+ kmh

 

[spoiled]

I was going to say this in some other thread that you posted in, but lol...you really were born only last year

dude only started watching cricket this year...last i followed cricket was maybe before 2000

 

[Noork85]

28/0 after 9 overs

And 3 lives

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Any pper's gone/going to the ground today?

 

[iHammad]

hahahah same bro when do u wake up for school?

7:30

 

[Newton_fan]

Rehman to Bowl now

 

[Sherazkhalid]

ok guys, in for a long one now, openers are set, wahab is pathetic, not sure what will A Rehman and ajmal will do, and Gul alone cannot take 20 wickets. I will say 475-525 for SA in first innings.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rehman coming on now

Spin into the attack!

 

[JibranAnsari]

spinner in 10th over, gna be a boring match

 

[spoiled]

I was going to say this in some other thread that you posted in, but lol...you really were born only last year

and what was the other thread..you overconfident sob

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wessels : Day 2 will be the best for Batting

 

[chill79]

Lagta hai upmires Golmaal 3 dekh kar aaye hai, Ungli dikhai to SA torh deinge

 

[AZ]

What a great idea, so where will the ICC get the money to do this?.

Did Haysman go to school.

the same way they get money to organize World Cups and Champions Trophies.

sponsorships.

 

[eViLrAcEr]

commies have given up the task of learning the Akmals' names

Akmal #3

 

[JibranAnsari]

abdur rehman bowling quick

 

[eViLrAcEr]

dude only started watching cricket this year...last i followed cricket was maybe before 2000
