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

[GreenKnightRises]

missing wickets.... bad review.

after 80 overs they can renew those reviews, So why not give it a try

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah needs to keep fighting here we need a big captaans inns

 

[razabbas]

Maznoor have strike now

 

[Bilal7]

What was his average in the Ashes? which is even more remarkable when most of the batsmen had poor series. Stop hatin'.

Anyways, back to topic.

What was it? 80+?

 

[razabbas]

Conhrts khurram manzoor

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A will get the new ball just before close of play so we need solid batting here till end of the day

 

[Sledger]

Well played.

 

[hur rizvi]

Maiden test 100 for Khurram, Take a bow man...

 

[alberto]

Openers seemed to play with great positive intent...must have been refreshing to see!

 

[Bilal7]

MashAllah really nice innings from Manzoor.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

punches it through extra cover. and gets his maiden test 100. Well played

 

[Professor]

100, MashaAllah well played.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done KM maiden Test hundred and just what the team needed!

 

[talha3]

Well played Khurram!

 

[Asif321]

What a moment !

 

[akamaka]

Shabaash

 

[saiyan0312]

2 runs and a fine test century for manzoor.

 

[DW44]

Finally. Great stuff against a great team. Even the likes of Inzamam and (the highly overrated)Yousuf found it nearly impossible to get a hundred against Australia/RSA type teams, even at home.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Hope we don't jinx Manzoor

 

[CalculatedRisk]

loving Khurram's passion. it's been ages that a Pakistani showed so much positivity and passion in a test match!

 

[PakGirl!]

Well done,boy..

 

[Amjid Javed]

KM just looks a completely different player to the strokeless wonder who came into the side 1st time round. Hopefully that means Hafeezs test career is dead and buried as well!

 

[saiyan0312]

after 80 overs they can renew those reviews, So why not give it a try

agreed... 80 overs later it resets.

 

[starbuck]

Well played KM. Now double it

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 200/3

 

[EarthBoltX]

You little beauty.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

another double taken.

 

[saiyan0312]

nice getting 2,s

 

[Sledger]

Manzoors average has jumped to 37.

 

[cricketpassion]

please someone pinch me to tell me this is reality that Pakistan batsman has made a century.

 

[doctordamor]

well done Khurram Manzoor, don't get too comfortable we need you and misbah on crease by stumps

 

[Asif321]

Khurram Manzoor is first Pakistan opener to score a century against South Africa in ten years

 

[GreenKnightRises]

it Drinks time

 

[TalhaSyed]

Amazing to see this sort of Jazba in a 'youngster' in the team!

Phenomenal knock MashAllah and I hope he has much more to offer InshAllah!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Khurram Manzoor is first Pakistan opener to score a century against South Africa in ten years

After Sir

 

[crickster_92]

He's proved many people including me wrong today. Hope this is the first of many more centuries

 

[Ims1]

PK will get to 375 i think . Is there any deterioration in the pitch ?

 

[alberto]

This is why Shan Masood has been picked!
Back in Pakistan, Masood had an excellent home season in 2012-13, scoring 543 runs at an average of 54.30.

 

[MRSN]

almost

 

[TalhaSyed]

 

[saiyan0312]

47 runs and 14 overs left.... very possible.

 

[MRSN]

need to get these 47 runs without any wicket.

 

[WebGuru]

He was dropped from team after scoring 77 against Australia in Australia and thn he worked hard and waited for 3 years for this moment.

 

[MRSN]

bohat lambi sweep mari hai Misbah ne

 

[Asif321]

Eid gift from robbie

 

[saiyan0312]

now misbah is hitting peterson.

 

[MRSN]

Trail by 40 now...

 

[WebGuru]

Misbah and his favorite shot

 

[Ims1]

pitch still looks very flat . 400 def on .

 

[saiyan0312]

42 runs..

 

[MRSN]

Misbah has to bat solid here..

 

[TalhaSyed]

He was dropped from team after scoring 77 against Australia in Australia and thn he worked hard and waited for 3 years for this moment.

Its always great when it pays off

meanwhile Misbah picks up another boundary against Peterson who has struggled today

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah and his favorite shot

I want him to padle scoop steyn

 

[MRSN]

good running..two more

 

[GreenKnightRises]

wonderful running from Khurram. back for a two.

 

[saiyan0312]

hopefully manzoor will outscore amla.

 

[WebGuru]

pitch still looks very flat . 400 def on .

What about your draw prediction bro

 

[TalhaSyed]

Morkel looks like he might be starting to tire now

 

[WebGuru]

I want him to padle scoop steyn

Thn it will be called Mis-Scoop

 

[Ims1]

Any thinks a draw on cards ?

 

[Ims1]

What about your draw prediction bro

bro,i expect SA to bat much better in next innings . you think we will get huge spin on early day 4 ?

 

[saiyan0312]

:Four reverse sweep by the king.

 

[DW44]

Lol.. toying around with Mediocreson... :4 :4

 

[MRSN]

trail by 34 runs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Peterson is awful. keeps getting smashed and releases pressure created by the quick bowlers

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This will be a lesson for all those who were criticizing him for doing sajda after making his 50 in the lat series

 

[saiyan0312]

Thn it will be called Mis-Scoop

i think thats what haters call it after 2007 whenever he plays it.

 

[Bilal7]

Misbah's SR is 61. Haters gonna hate.

 

[DW44]

bro,i expect SA to bat much better in next innings . you think we will get huge spin on early day 4 ?

We? Moved to Pakistan Veekay?

 

[MRSN]

this partnership was really key in getting the control back..now Pakistan shouldn't throw a wicket..

 

[saiyan0312]

swept again and single.

 

[oyei]

and Vol muted.

 

[WebGuru]

bro,i expect SA to bat much better in next innings . you think we will get huge spin on early day 4 ?

A good lead can put alot of pressure on their batting line even if there is still not enough turn on 4th day.

Pakistan should occupy the crease as much as they can and bat like there is no 4th innings.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Conventional sweep, paddle sweep, scoop sweep, reverse sweep - its all coming out now!

 

[Mamoon]

We really need to milk the next 8 overs before Steyn and Philtrundler return with the new ball.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah and his birthmark shot, the reverse sweep

 

[EarthBoltX]

Not that I'm complaining, but the persisting with Peterson is baffling.

 

[Amjid Javed]

) Love it when Misbah plays the reverse sweep!

 

[DW44]

Last 10 overs, RR = 3.90. I can almost hear the certain people praying for a Misbah failure in hushed tones.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 218/3 - Target for this Inns should be 400!
