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

[Aman]

Should look for a 200 run lead but how would Pakistan go chasing 160-200 on day 5?

 

[qamar84]

that was so funny phylander showing some agression and get spank by adnan on next ball

 

[Sledger]

Irfan should bat above Junaid, at least he tries to block. Junaid is like the new Kaneria.

Disappointing how these players who have fixed spots don't work on improving their batting.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Solid defenses from Irfan

 

[Sledger]

119ks. Deadly Dale enjoying the UAE sun.

 

[Sledger]

Amla's thoughts on SA's bowling summed up.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Should look for a 200 run lead but how would Pakistan go chasing 160-200 on day 5?

Its not the Indian Phaast bowlers they are facing to get that many lead

 

[razabbas]

Adnan gone well 193 lead is good enough

 

[CrowingRooster]

Bowled him!

 

[qamar84]

woooooooowwww great by steyn

 

[Sledger]

Akmal bowled, well played.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan all out 442

 

[Batman]

PAK | 442 | Lead by 193

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Steyn ends Adnan's mediocrity

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good yorker from Steyn.

 

[razabbas]

good stuff by adnan didnt expected this much form him 193 is way to good

 

[Sledger]

442ao, 193 is the lead.

Good stuff there, you always want more but that's a brilliant effort.

 

[Asif321]

thats it

 

[ammar93]

That was a brilliant yorker. I can't blame adnan for getting out on that.

 

[style_guru]

So a lead of 193 finally. I would just say that Pakistan have given themselves a great chance of winning here. May be by an inning

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good lead here of 193, hopefully we can have S.A 4/5 wickets down by close of play today. We need to take early wickets with new ball again.

 

[talma]

Batting scorecard:

Khurram/Shan/Misbah +++
Younus ...Unlucky
Asad Shafiq ...needs to work on converting starts
Azhar Ali...needs to be dropped in second test of he fails again in second inning
Adnan Akmal + rest of tail need batting practice in spare time iso shopping at Emirates Mall

 

[hur rizvi]

SA have 33 overs to bat...


Quite a lot of time left in the match...

There should be a Result

 

[razabbas]

lets move to Aus vs ind

 

[hur rizvi]

So a lead of 193 finally. I would just say that Pakistan have given themselves a great chance of winning here. May be by an inning

Dont get over excited, pitch is extremely flat...

 

[Batman]

Good lead, we need to get few wicket before the stumps.

 

[Amjid Javed]

33 overs tonight should be plenty of time to take some wickets here.

 

[doctordamor]

200 would be psychologically good, still formidable lead, if our fast bowlers come to party

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan should target 2-3 wickets by the close.

 

[Aman]

Its not the Indian Phaast bowlers they are facing to get that many lead

This is SA they'll come back hard

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Match will be over tonight

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on boy

 

[Bullet Drive]

Imagine we finish it today

 

[Sledger]

They're coming out for the SA 2nd innings.

 

[doctordamor]

Seriously man some people are never happy, Pak could have scored 1000 and they would only be complaining abt why not 2000, or playing down saying pitch flat, before blaming players need fans to fix their attitude

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Smith and Peterson comes back

 

[CrowingRooster]

And they're back!

 

[Sledger]

Smith can't pick up the full toss.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Expecting Greame Leg Before Smith to get out inside the first 6 overs

 

[Sledger]

Wow, it's been reviewed lol..

 

[WebGuru]

WTH was that!

 

[hur rizvi]

Looks a stupid review?

 

[Asif321]

what a stupid review this is

 

[Speedster1]

Haha shocking

 

[CrowingRooster]

Waste of a review.

 

[Sledger]

It's just clipping, not a poor review really but it will remain not out.

 

[WebGuru]

one review gone on first ball lol

 

[hur rizvi]

What a rubbish review

 

[DW44]

Idiot, waste a review on a borderline beamer.

 

[razabbas]

*** was that

 

[ammar93]

Bah what a waste that was. It was more likely to miss than not

 

[akheR]

once got out on a full toss to Flintoff I think.

 

[Sledger]

Dot ball.

 

[style_guru]

Smith looks like a walking wicket these days.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Good tactic by Now Smith will be nerveous and won't last long, it plays on the batsman's mind

 

[DW44]

Irfan trying to kill Smith?

 

[hur rizvi]

It's just clipping, not a poor review really but it will remain not out.

It's not about clipping, it looked too high right from the start, it was too dubious to go fr review

 

[doctordamor]

What the hell man that should have been given out or not reviewed

 

[ammar93]

I don't think smith is going to last. Hopefully I'm right.

 

[akheR]

LOL loving the aggression. teyn

 

[Sledger]

Ball clipping the stumps on Hawkeye
Survives on Umpire's Call.
PP: bad review

lol.

 

[razabbas]

Good aggresion by irfan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wasted review already

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Smith looks like a walking wicket these days.

To left arm fast bowlers he does look like a tailender

 

[Speedster1]

Lovely by Irfan, aggressive bowling

 

[razabbas]

Irfan pumped up 1.5 days sa rest par ha

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on Irfan knock over both openers early again please

 

[EarthBoltX]

I remember that high full toss Swann got Rogers with.

 

[Sledger]

SA off the mark.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Smith looks like a walking wicket these days.

PLaying Test after a looong Gyaaap :kepplerWessels

 

[Amjid Javed]

Smith off the mark

 

[Sledger]

It's not about clipping, it looked too high right from the start, it was too dubious to go fr review

Too dubious yet it was hitting the stumps. Ok.

 

[akheR]

Juni has to be AS aggressive.

 

[Colt]

Irfan working some serious pace 146+ last over..

 

[Sledger]

Smith gets two.

 

[razabbas]

Oye hoye juni everyone is pumped up wah bhae wah

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol. everyone aiming smith at the stumps. Poor smithy boy )

 

[hur rizvi]

Too dubious yet it was hitting the stumps. Ok.

High full toss, Umpires call on both impact, and stumps and looked too high to naked eye..

I would call that a stupid review

 

[razabbas]
