Pakistan v South Africa l 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 10/15/13 | Day 2

[WebGuru]

Steyn is upset.

This is the real Pakistan who stand up when someone tries to sledge them. Very good stand and these two deserve a very long run in the side.

I can't see Shan name in your Signature he is a youngsta beauty

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 156 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to grind S.A into dust here and just keep batting and batting for as long as possible.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I wish none of them get out, dont want to see azhar bat.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Masood is getting a bit carried away. He is playing up-ish shots which are not needed. Manzoor must talk to him.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Shan must take care of the rough,reach the ball on full and don't let it turn. The rough is on his side.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Masood is very classy.

 

[zains_rulez]

A good going , i can sense pakistan vistory here with 2 days of batting and lead of above 250 runs , pakistan had great chance to win this match

 

[WebGuru]

Cricinfo:

Andre Smith: "This is something which has caused me much distress for many years. We (Proteas) are alarmingly incapable of adapting to conditions which are different to ours. We keep bowling short even though it is not working. We also don't bowl yorkers in tests. How can we get it through to the team to adapt to the conditions? Why don't 3 of the top 10 bowlers in the world know how to adapt? It's a really distressing mystery."

 

[MRSN]

Masood looking solid now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fielders on bounaries, well done pakistan.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Pakistan should bat till day 3 and get a big lead,hopefully. And try to bowl out SA. As they SA-"Bat once and bat big!"

 

[MarkCooper]

On ESPN the South African commies are starting to come up with their excuses for SA not playing well.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Defensive field. Singles available at will.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol @ keppler's lame excuses for SA's average performance this match.

 

[razabbas]

Come on masood and manzoor atleast make centuries

 

[PakistanKnight]

On ESPN the South African commies are starting to come up with their excuses for SA not playing well.

Too much bias.And Chishty isn't someone who will back answer them. I loved Ramiz because of some reasons-He was a bit more exciting and he would answer the commentator who would show bias. Remember Pakistan vs SL 4th ODI 2011 and Ramiz's answer to Arnold?

 

[Asif321]

Khurram angry with himself haha

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Manzoor playing away from his body. not a good move

 

[PakistanKnight]

Lol @ keppler's lame excuses for SA's average performance this match.

Can you quote what did he say? My volume is very low.

 

[Ahson8]

Haha I like Manzoor.

 

[Justcrazy]

97 / 0

 

[razabbas]

In

 

[GreenKnightRises]

That should be his first 50. :.

 

[PakistanKnight]

50 for the young man,Masood!

 

[razabbas]

Congrts masood

 

[WebGuru]

50 on Debut for Shan

 

[Red Devil]

Fifty for Masood

 

[Nuekboi]

Congrats Shan! Now go and make that ton mashallah

 

[WNC]

50 for Shaan

 

[razabbas]

Comeon masood now convert this 50 into ur maiden century

 

[PakGirl!]

Debut 50 for Masood against the no 1 team in the world!!Wonderful..

 

[PakistanKnight]

Manzoor is a bit angry with himself,banging himself on the helmet and talking to himself. Good way to get yourself back in. No concentration lapses,please.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well done shan. Waiting for your ton.

 

[Asif321]

Well done Shaani

 

[Ahson8]

Well done Shaani, go get a ton now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good to strike been rotated here regularly so it means bowlers cant settle on any sort of lines here.

 

[DW44]

Lets hope both openers get centuries. It's been a while since two Pakistani openers got tons in the same test innings(I can't remember the last time that happened) and if they do that here, lead of 200+ is pretty much guaranteed.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done Shan Masood 50 on debut!

 

[PakistanKnight]

Run rate is going down. At the end of last sesion it was 3.50 and now it is 3.09. Anyways,a better effort than 2-2.50.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 150 runs

 

[PakistanKnight]

Morkel looking like a ghost #SunScreen

 

[PakistanKnight]

Manzoor can have the honour of scoring 3 consecutive fifties in tests. Not very common.

 

[Justcrazy]

The last Pak batsman to score a fifty on debut was Asad Shafiq, on this ground

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Can you quote what did he say? My volume is very low.

One of his reasons is that they were playing tests after a loong gap. Then the HEAT issues LOL, Greame Smith not being fully fit. No Offer for Pace bowlers in this pitch.

 

[razabbas]

Morkel and CO getting frustated

 

[GreenKnightRises]

100 up for Pak..

 

[PakistanKnight]

Banter from Saffers #SoreLosers

 

[Munna]

This is for the first time in 637 days, Pakistani openers have scored a century partnership in a Test match.

 

[Asif321]

100 up Shaan standing tall against morni

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up

 

[MarkCooper]

I hope you beat SA in to the dirt

 

[razabbas]

So we have got an opening pair ?

 

[DW44]

This is what a good performance with the bat/ball does for one's confidence. In the away series earlier this year, a Pakistani batsman wouldn't have dreamed of answering back to Morkel or Steyn the way Masood, a debutant no less, is doing now.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Morkel now over the wicket against Shan

 

[PakistanKnight]

One of his reasons is that they were playing tests after a loong gap. Then the HEAT issues LOL, Greame Smith not being fully fit. No Offer for Pace bowlers in this pitch.

)
Keep up the work and Shan.

 

[Colt]

Shan Masood...

He aint taking no ____ from Morkel, great to see someone who can talk back, it was all one sided till now.

 

[Red Devil]

Third Consecutive Fifty for Manzoor

 

[razabbas]

Good Khurri , this time you have to score a Ton , he has habit of getting out after 50
