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

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan making a pigs ear of things here now

Weve let S.A right back into the game.

 

[Bilal7]

That was a great delivery though, nothing most batters would have been able to do.

 

[saiyan0312]

collapse stopper coming up... need him to make a 50 here.

 

[PakGirl!]

Oh God!That's a big blow

 

[Mamoon]

Hope 50 king Misbah gets another 50. Incapable of scoring a hundred so lets just ask for a 50 which will be more than handy in this situation.

 

[doctordamor]

SA now on top. Pak would have to bat out of their skin to not lose another wkt till stumps

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I fear a collapse from here. dont expect much contributions from Shafiq and Adnan mediocre Akmal

 

[mosh101]

Kaptaan walks in !

 

[Asif321]

younus gone , very well bowled by Morni

 

[Sam18696]

Kaptaan in.

 

[Kianig89]

another one

 

[KA$H]

SA smelling blood here

 

[saiyan0312]

best time to get younis is at the start.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Is it just me or does this guy look like a mix between Misbah & Imran Khan

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Hope 50 king Misbah gets another 50. Incapable of scoring a hundred so lets just ask for a 50 which will be more than handy in this situation.

Agree.

 

[DW44]

Hope Irfan gets both Morkel and the Peterson(catcher) square on the head when they come in to bat.

 

[Bilal7]

He isn't young.

He is in his prime age, not young.

2 years on, he'd be 30.

Young is under 25.

28 is young. prime age is 30-33.

 

[castortroy]

Here comes the collapse boys

 

[Kianig89]

some tuk tuk to happen now in nervous 90s and

 

[DW44]

Is it just me or does this guy look like a mix between Misbah & Imran Khan

Misbah and IK are related, maybe he's from the same region as them.

 

[mosh101]

Misbah to the rescue again

 

[saiyan0312]

7 wickets 71 trail... cmon we cant lose the track from here... still on top and our all rounder yet to come

 

[Bilal7]

Is it just me or does this guy look like a mix between Misbah & Imran Khan

He does actually! Lol!

Also a Younis fan, I might add.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Is it just me or does this guy look like a mix between Misbah & Imran Khan

might be Mibah's little bro

 

[Kianig89]

trail by 71

 

[doctordamor]

YK got a very good delivery but still big big loss

 

[Sledger]

Good comeback by SA.

 

[Mamoon]

28 is young.

No its not.

 

[mosh101]

Pakistan has a long tail :Waqar Younis

 

[Kianig89]

Philander continues

 

[saiyan0312]

nice shot .. well fielded.

 

[Mamoon]

Make or break partnership.

 

[DW44]

Big question here is whether the remaining batsmen can get at least another 171, preferable more.

 

[hur rizvi]

edgy shot from Khurram

 

[A.M.]

two good delieveries two wickets but Pak needs to play on and get as many runs as possible wont be easy to play here on DAY 3/4

 

[Amjid Javed]

ffs we need to dig in here and cant afford any more wicket damage!

 

[mosh101]

Philander bowling in good areas

 

[TalhaSyed]

Need to wipe away this lead without losing any more wickets!

 

[Sam18696]

Save us Kaptaan!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah will ensure that runs wont come through the other end

 

[starbuck]

Nice to see Khurram not going in shell

 

[saiyan0312]

flashes and missed. manzoor is frustrated... poor shot.

 

[DW44]

Good to see Manzoor immediately realizing his mistake.

 

[Mamoon]

We've a seriously long tail. Adnan has improved but he isn't reliable at all.

Asad is not in great form either. This partnership is very crucial and Manzoor needs to stop fishing outside the off stump and go for 150+.

He is looking nervous.

 

[hur rizvi]

poor shot

 

[GreenKnightRises]

poor shot from Manzoor

 

[TalhaSyed]

"A rush of blood - some adreline there": Chisty

 

[saiyan0312]

manzoor then hits the bat in his head.

 

[Asif321]

khurram hitting himself ,chisty says dont hit hard

 

[Mamoon]

Chishty and his embarrassing jokes

Please spare us and retire.

 

[Sam18696]

Khurram under pressure

 

[lilFlip]

Come on khurram!

Forzaaaaa!

 

[hur rizvi]

We've a seriously long tail. Adnan has improved but he isn't reliable at all.

Asad is not in great form either. This partnership is very crucial and Manzoor needs to stop fishing outside the off stump and go for 150+.

He is looking nervous.

150+ from khurram is a big ask

I would be happy if these two can wipe off the lead

 

[Bilal7]

A typical Misbah fifty will be very welcome here. A lead of around 150 will be very good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on KM! dont play shots like that!

 

[saiyan0312]

weird appeal.... that was in no way out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Morkel will test Misbah with short ball here so he needs to keep his gloves out of the way!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Massive appeal for LBW - batsmen was well outside off stump

 

[KA$H]

tough on KM - the century will be weighing on his mind

 

[saiyan0312]

what a cut misbah.

 

[Asif321]

misbah starts with

 

[Mamoon]

Manzoor still looking for quick singles. LOL, who is he fooling.

The emperor of the anti strike rotation kingdom is batting on the other end.

 

[Sam18696]

 

[hur rizvi]

Morne morkel looking great...

he looked toothless in southafrica earlier this year

 

[starbuck]

Nice shot by Misbah

 

[TalhaSyed]

Short & wide - Misbah cuts it away for :4!

 

[lilFlip]

the tukka by kaptaan

 

[talha3]

Shot Misbah.

 

[Mamoon]

Its imperative that these two wash away the deficit.

 

[Bilal7]

Wiping the trail quickly will be a risky tactic that will put the Saffers under pressure.

 

[saiyan0312]

87 lead.. come on guys.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

We've a seriously long tail. Adnan has improved but he isn't reliable at all.

Asad is not in great form either. This partnership is very crucial and Manzoor needs to stop fishing outside the off stump and go for 150+.

He is looking nervous.

lol. Adnan hasn't improved a bit. his average is still in mid 20's which is his career best.

asad has been exposed at big times.

 

[saiyan0312]

5th highest scorer in both formats...well done misbah.

 

[Asif321]

Khurram take it easy no need to worry

 

[Mamoon]

lol. Adnan hasn't improved a bit. his average is still in mid 20's which is his career best.

asad has been exposed at big times.

He looked a tailender early on. He is getting better now and bats positively.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Sanga has an average of 80+ this year - he will be the danger man later this year for Pakistan when the play SL

 

[Bilal7]

Funny how Bell is averaging under 45 in 2013 yet some posters will have you believe that his average would put Bradman to shame.

 

[hur rizvi]

87 lead.. come on guys.

67 left

 

[GreenKnightRises]

arrival of Misbah has made Khurram nervous.

 

[KA$H]

only 2 more overs of philander to survive and teh spinners should be back
