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

[WebGuru]

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

I think that one was with double ss

 

[Ims1]

We? Moved to Pakistan Veekay?

no,i live in Ind teekay .

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 more for Misbah here... probably 1st time in a long time hes come out with a decent platform been set by the team.

 

[godzilla]

chaps, not watching this live and am struggling with something - are we actually batting this well or has the pitch really flattened out. am in a bit of shock.

 

[MRSN]

and Vol muted.

same you just can't bear Chisti when match is in critical situation..

 

[Ims1]

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.

that is obvious bro but if the surface does not offer much to bowlers on day 3 & 4 , then Saf can score 450-500 as well .
let us say scores are equal today & PK have 7 wickets in hand ,then bat for 60 overs on day 3 ,get a lead of 150 .

That leaves a total of 200 odd overs in the match & if they bat well & consume around 150 overs to score 425-450 runs, it will be a draw .

 

[MRSN]

trail by 28 runs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sa will get only 4 overs with the new ball. Doubt they can do any damage in such a short time.

 

[MRSN]

cut hard

 

[CrowingRooster]

Rocked back for a boundary

 

[CrowingRooster]

226-3 after 74

Let's see if they can stay for 6 sessions thn.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Single taken

 

[Bilal7]

"Ajmal thinks he can bat, Zulfiqar likes to bat and the other two cannot bat." Another gem from Chishty.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Trail by 22

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This is good cricket both from Misbah and Manzoor

 

[WebGuru]

Last 10 overs 41/0 RR 4.10

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good positive scoring here by these to 49 run partnership so far.

 

[TalhaSyed]

"Shafiq needs to bat and get runs
Adnan can bat and batted well in Sri Lanka
Ajmal can bat in patches
Zulfiqar likes to bat
Junaid & Irfant cant bat"

Chisti

Seems promising

 

[CrowingRooster]

3 taken

 

[MRSN]

good running back for 3 runs..

 

[lilFlip]

where are the haters?

 

[TalhaSyed]

50 partnership up mashallah with a cracking shot for 3!

Lead only 19 now MashAllah!

 

[akheR]

Current partnership 52 runs, 14.1 overs, RR: 3.67 (Misbah-ul-Haq 26, Khurram Manzoor 26)

 

[Asif321]

Khurri is the man

 

[CrowingRooster]

50 run partnership

 

[GreenKnightRises]

3 more to Manzoor and brings up the 50 partnership between the two

 

[saiyan0312]

19 trial... we may get a lead today.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Great to see that MashAllah KM isn't throwing it away after reaching 3 figures. The influence?

 

[battler]

Good to see misbah scoring at a decent clip and not doing tuk tuk too much

 

[GreenKnightRises]

"Shafiq needs to bat and get runs
Adnan can bat and batted well in Sri Lanka
Ajmal can bat in patches
Zulfiqar likes to bat
Junaid & Irfant cant bat"

Chisti

Seems promising

Junaid can bat better than hafeez :kami

 

[ritzy_123]

Misbah needs to score 100 here

[CrowingRooster]

Reverse sweep by Misbah

 

[akamaka]

Chishty - Who calls him tuk tuk

 

[saiyan0312]

tied with amla now khurram.

 

[razabbas]

Singles coming easily

 

[akheR]

Good to see misbah scoring at a decent clip and not doing tuk tuk too much

is the most complete Asian bat today, can pace his innings at will, just that he has a ugly batting line up to cope with.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Trail by only 13 now MashAllah!

When this pair came together I said that they need to wipe away the lead without losing any more wickets - will be amazing if the can do it InshAllah!

7 wickets in hand to work on building a lead

 

[Ims1]

Let's see if they can stay for 6 sessions thn.

even 4.5 to 5 sessions can push the match to a draw . last 10 overs yielded 47,what did missba eat ?

 

[razabbas]

Last 10 ovs 47/0 RR 4.70

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Manzoor dealing with singles like in ODI's

 

[MRSN]

trail by 12 runs now

 

[razabbas]

before new ball they should get into lead

238-3 after 76

 

[GreenKnightRises]

And Manzoor outscore Amla's . Well played mate

 

[saiyan0312]

6 singles from the over and people said the lead wont vanish today.

 

[TalhaSyed]

6 singles off that over - great by these 2 batsmen MashAllah!

That will do very nicely in the current scenario!

 

[CrowingRooster]

Trail by 11

 

[Gigii]

Can't believe I just saw a Pakistan team score 6 singles off an over!

 

[razabbas]

Peterson Eco rate HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[razabbas]

All three spiners of SA have eco rate baove 4

 

[TalhaSyed]

4 overs till the new ball

8 overs till the end of Day 2

 

[akheR]

last 10 overs yielded 47,what did missba eat ?

 

[WebGuru]

even 4.5 to 5 sessions can push the match to a draw . last 10 overs yielded 47,what did missba eat ?

I will call him and ask him after the match

 

[razabbas]

 

[imshally81]

Four

 

[DW44]

Shot ... :4

 

[MRSN]

good batting Khurrum

 

[EarthBoltX]

Shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like S.A trying to rush through the overs so they can take new ball as quickly as possible as that maybe there only hope of taking a wicket at moment.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Beauty pull shot from Manzoor

 

[akheR]

Can't believe Peterswann was traumatizing our batsmen in SA.

giving him the respect he deserves, both spinners going at +4 RR.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 6 runs behind and 7 overs to go in days play...

 

[WebGuru]

Epic Moment save it guys!

 

[DW44]

Sad to see the way Chishti Mujahid is being disrespected here by people who weren't even born when the man was already a Pakistani institution. His commentary is still more insightful than what you get from younger, more 'hip' commentators like Ravi Shastri, Simon Doull, Sivaramakrisnan and the like.

 

[razabbas]

Finally before new ball we are into lead

 

[razabbas]

trade mark

 

[Red Devil]

1 more run required

 

[imshally81]

Reverse sweep for 3

 

[Asif321]

Khurram average 38 now , before this match it was 29

 

[TalhaSyed]

Haha

"Imagine sweeping & the ball going to the 3rd man boundry - oh dear!" : Chisty #Legend

 

[GreenKnightRises]

paddle sweep from Misbah earns another 3 runs

 

[Ims1]

i think 425 is def on from here .

 

[WebGuru]

Khurram average 38 now , before this match it was 29

He can easily touch 45+ after this series. It's only his 10th Test match let's hope he score more runs in next innings.

 

[DW44]

That's the lead taken care of. Now they need to get at least another 100, preferably 150, runs. Anything over that would be a bonus.

 

[Bilal7]

Misbah's SR is 65. Haters can keep hating.

 

[lilFlip]

Epic Moment save it guys!

hahaha! We can't so good in ODI middle overs!

 

[imshally81]

Equal
