Pakistan v South Africa l 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 11/15/13 | Day 3

[Batman]

PAK | 5/377 | Lead by 128

 

[dhump]

their best team tag is being tested.They can't claim to be the best without doing well in SC which is difficult without a good spinner

It was wrong to rely on their current spin strength and not selecting Imran Tahir here. In SA conditions Peterson is fine because their pace bowlers bowlers put enough pressure on top for Peterson to capitalize on but here things are totally different.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan has no clue

He is starting his innings. Did you see the way the legend Smith batted at the start of his? He's still their. Give credit to him.

 

[RickyG]

Adnan Akmal looks out of his depth. He would have been a sitting duck and been worse than Sarfraz in South Africa.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Haven't seen any Misbah slog sweeps..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan Akmal looks out of his depth. He would have been a sitting duck and been worse than Sarfraz in South Africa.

Tell me more.

 

[JibranAnsari]

There is some turn . Our spinners will cause havoc.

 

[Batman]

One more single

 

[Batman]

Drive from Akmal, two runs taken

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely shot by Adnan. Bit of chat between AB & Adnan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

2 more.

PAK | 5/380 | Lead by 131

Will take a quick 30 to 40 from him helping misbah get a century from the other end...

 

[London_Lahori]

I may be able to catch the final session on a stream. One of the advocates not well court will end at 12.00 today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wheres has Petersen gone?

 

[DW44]

11 left for Misbah's 100.

 

[RickyG]

Tell me more.

You're the official Akmal fan boy, you should know everything there is to know about the family.

Will take a quick 30 to 40 from him helping misbah get a century from the other end...

Yup. It will be an edgy and scratchy 30-40 but it will seriously help. This pitch is so flat yet he is struggling.

 

[dhump]

Wheres has Petersen gone?

Muft ke run detay rahain woh log humain. :ahmed

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Misbah. 1 more run to Misbah

 

[Justcrazy]

[Batman]

Misbah on 90 as single taken

 

[Bullet Drive]

Muft ke run detay rahain woh log humain. :ahmed

I wanted him to celebrate after his amazing ton

He is not a batsman at all but he is the best we got at the moment.

Nice to see you taking a keen interest in me

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah into the 90s. can he do it?

 

[DW44]

10

 

[mosh101]

Misbah please be careful

 

[dhump]

I wanted him to celebrate after his amazing ton

I think Pakistanis are just helping Imran Tahir inclusion in the side by treating peterson this way.

 

[DW44]

9

 

[Bullet Drive]

91* to Misbah now

 

[mosh101]

9 Away now

 

[Batman]

Single, Misbah 91

 

[dhump]

almost brain fart from misbah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I think Pakistanis are just helping Imran Tahir inclusion in the side by treating peterson this way.

Would be nice to see him play against us.

I want him to score a double

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good running by adnan & Misbah

 

[Batman]

2 taken now

 

[MarkCooper]

The commies are so biased lol.

Look, I am still mad Pakistan hammered England in the UAE but I am not bitter. I hate biased commies shilling for SA.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good technique by Adnan

 

[RickyG]

Nice to see you taking a keen interest in me

Unfortunately, it's the reputation you've earned so don't flatter yourself.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 5/384 | Lead by 135

 

[Bullet Drive]

The commies are so biased lol.

I agree mate. Very poor commentators. Especially Keppler. Boring and biased. Never tells any stories, no jokes. Just boring and has a horrible voice.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Steyn on now.

He looks upset.

0-68

 

[Bullet Drive]

Steyn had figures of 6-8 against PAK in SA.

Now in UAE he's 0-68

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bit of reverse swing?

 

[dhump]

Would be nice to see him play against us.

I want him to score a double

He is a bowler with ability to do so

 

[DW44]

8

 

[talma]

Steyn doesn't look fearsome with the new hairstyle

 

[Batman]

Single, Misbah on 92

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on Misbah spank a few 4s!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just wish Umar Akmal was in this side. Would have probably scored a double here :akmal

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to pick up the scoring as S.A will be happy to drag the inns out as long as possible if pakistan are batting like snails!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Junaid will take 5 in the 2nd innings I feel.

 

[dhump]

OMG Kepler is saying " steyn can still get last 5 wicket of Pakistan"

 

[JibranAnsari]

Just wish Umar Akmal was in this side. Would have probably scored a double here :akmal

Lol way to overhype.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played by Adnan.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 5/385 | Lead by 136

 

[dhump]

Pakistan need to pick up the scoring as S.A will be happy to drag the inns out as long as possible if pakistan are batting like snails!

we lost this ability with asads wicket now runs will come slowly.

 

[Batman]

Drinks time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lol way to overhype.

True. Should have said 150 :ahmed

 

[JibranAnsari]

OMG Kepler is saying " steyn can still get last 5 wicket of Pakistan"

Not impossible.

 

[dhump]

Just wish Umar Akmal was in this side. Would have probably scored a double here :akmal

or may be got out on 2nd 3rd ball already trying to smash one for six.

 

[talma]

Slow batting pace works in SA's favor as it could lead to draw rather than a victory for Pakistan..

 

[dhump]

Not impossible.

and chances are ??? and point of even saying this atm

 

[Bullet Drive]

Drinks break.

 

[JibranAnsari]

True. Should have said 150 :ahmed

30-50 more appropriate.

 

[Bullet Drive]

or may be got out on 2nd 3rd ball already trying to smash one for six.

He's not Afridi

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

i feel like slapping kepler for his biased commentry... he feels its been fluke so far by pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

and chances are ??? and point of even saying this atm

You never know with pakistan batting. Duminys 5 is more likely though.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Misbah just 8 to get. After his ton he will open up

 

[Bullet Drive]

RR going to go below 3 unless these two step it up!

 

[JibranAnsari]

The most awaited ton

 

[JibranAnsari]

RR going to go below 3 unless these two step it up!

Doesnt matter. Need to score 450 tday.

 

[Bullet Drive]

[mosh101]

[DW44]
