Pakistan v South Africa | 1st Test | Dubai | 14/11/10 | Day 3: Session 2

[farazaidi]

Alright Guys, afternoon session has started.

Lets see if Azhar can steer us out of trouble!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Adnan looking pretty solid out there..

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Azhar playing a very mature innings....

 

[*syed59*]

Azhar, although playing at an alarmingly slow rate, has for the most part done well.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Adnan.

 

[*syed59*]

Adnan looking pretty solid out there..

not too sure about solid, he has attempted some typically lose shots.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Slow is ok.... its a test....

It is overly slow.... but with experience.... he will speed up....

 

[ZAK]

219/5

 

[Newton_fan]

Till Azhar ali is on the crease, I wont mind him for wasting deliveries.

Lets play for a draw.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Akmal.

 

[taxzu]

Adnan's drives are so similar to other akmals.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

well I don't care how much they score in this session ... I want them to survive this session ... Azhar need to calm himself

 

[ZAK]

220/5

 

[Newton_fan]

Adnan Akmal Failed

 

[taq12345]

Adnan Akmal

 

[ZAK]

Adnan

 

[aqeelPK]

Its official now, we cant bat under any conditions. We have thrown away the advantage. Africans in firm control now.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Another tried and tested failure goes Adnan

 

[mastermind_quad]

well I don't care how much they score in this session ... I want them to survive this session ... Azhar need to calm himself

Yep ..if they survive ....runs will come automatically ....

 

[NJamal]

We are doomed now.

 

[cricketkhan88]

hahahaha..............middle khattmal also out.........now we know why these good for nothing akmals are selected in Pakistani team.

 

[mastermind_quad]

that's a good catch...but poor shot

 

[NJamal]

444444444

 

[ZAK]

Rehman is the new man in and he gets off the mark with a single.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

after adnan fell ... I think azhar should open up but being logical no slogging ... cos now we should try to get as close as we can get with RSA total

 

[ZAK]

to :aali

 

[mastermind_quad]

Another tried and tested failure goes Adnan

wow ...1st game and tried & tested ..good...


to Azhar

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

no man..dont worry..i've a feeling today our tail will wag...gul, ajmal to make 30 odd on this pitch...

 

[cricketkhan88]

Shame on Pakistani batsmen to not even getting close to SA total even on a flat track.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Azhar should open up a bit noe ...not much batting left ....

 

[ZAK]

225/6

 

[NJamal]

Gone are the days when our team would score 500-600 in Tests. Now even 300 in tests is like a mountain to climb for our crappy batsmen.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

I said the tail had started...

fly :kami in....

Azhar needs to speed up now and get as many as he can.... we MUST get to 300!

 

[Newton_fan]

Rehman Gone. This Collapse cost us the match

 

[NJamal]

OUTTTTTTTTTTT Rehman. What a catching practice

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Abdul Rehman out before I could post his stats ... saying .. he know how to hold the bat .. why the hell he was driving ? *******

 

[ZAK]

Rehman

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I just don't get our management can't even tell them ... it isnt 20 over match you got to look for a lose bowl to hit a shot ....

 

[NJamal]

Apart from the top 4 no other batsman is a Test batsman in this line-up

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Gone are the days when our team would score 500-600 in Tests. Now even 300 in tests is like a mountain to climb for our crappy batsmen.

Exactly....

a middle order in their pomp of





Is not easy to replace...

We didnt appreciate what we had til it was gone....

To think that and SHOULD have been in their pomp at the same time....

 

[NJamal]

Umar Gul comes in, need some lusty blows from him now.

 

[jattafridi]

cricinfo

Morkel to Abdur Rehman, OUT, another one bites the desert sand. Morne's round the wicket angle is clearly not up Rehman's alley and he perishes to a nothing prod outside off. That ball did nothing, except land on a length and hold a line. Sadly, Rehman did nothing either. Just hung his bat out there and guided it into the slips

 

[JibranAnsari]

shame shame shame

 

[JibranAnsari]

now azhar to take most of the strike and hot the ball aswell

 

[farazaidi]

We need another 50 from Saeed bhai

 

[ZAK]

226/7

 

[JibranAnsari]

india 326/6

 

[NJamal]

Now I realize What a batsman Inzi was. Even Ijaz, Salim Malik, & Shoaib Mohammad were like Bradman compared to our current batsmen.

 

[IAJ]

And now Umar Gul has started blocking, just go after them yaar, you don't have technique to defend.

 

[JibranAnsari]

wahan barish b nahin hotee na?

 

[NJamal]

226/7

 

[NJamal]

wahan barish b nahin hotee na?

For that you had to wait a month atleast.

 

[mastermind_quad]

india 326/6

336/7 dhoni gone by catching practice ....

 

[aqeelPK]

Well....we were all expecting a bit too much from a team which doesnt have amir, asif, shoaib akhtar, kamran akmal, salman butt, mohammad yousuf and shoaib malik. Its always difficult to put up a good show when your top 6 or 7 players are not playing and also when all the bad umpiring decisions are against you.

 

[taq12345]

Azhar !!!!!

 

[ZAK]

2 to Ali.

 

[taq12345]

South Africa win the first match of the series

 

[ZAK]

:aali

 

[JibranAnsari]

tame dismissal

 

[farazaidi]

Azhar gone now

End of!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

For F's sake!

 

[Atif]

Wahab Riaz out in middle, suprising...

 

[JibranAnsari]

good bye pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

time for some boom boom

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Well....we were all expecting a bit too much from a team which doesnt have amir, asif, shoaib akhtar, kamran akmal, salman butt, mohammad yousuf and shoaib malik. Its always difficult to put up a good show when your top 6 or 7 players are not playing and also when all the bad umpiring decisions are against you.

Not sure how you included Malik in that list....

 

[JibranAnsari]

he could ratahr have played an agressive shot, stupid shot

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

no guys dont worry

our tail will wag..i've a feeling they will score another 70-100 runs.

 

[ZAK]

Wahab Riaz is the new man in.

 

[mastermind_quad]

[Atif]
