[CalculatedRisk]

Ajmal is unimpressive against lefties

 

[asif9137]

PLZ no more big partnership

 

[Bullet Drive]

Duminy done better then I expected.

 

[Bullet Drive]

On comes Junaid.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We are seriously missing Hafeez.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Over rated Ajmal gets another smack

 

[asif9137]

duminy is already on 28

 

[Bullet Drive]

Irfan could be injured.......

 

[asif9137]

juni is back

 

[asif9137]

time for reverse swing i guess

 

[asif9137]

irfan bowling good

 

[Osman]

time for ajmal to be dropped....keeps getting a free ride in the team on past reputation

 

[Bullet Drive]

137-4

 

[Bullet Drive]

Mr.negative.

 

[asif9137]

anybody feeling wicket

 

[the Great Khan]

chulo duminy sahib. Is he gonna be this series luloo for us??

 

[Amjid Javed]

Duminy looking dangerous here

 

[asif9137]

time for ajmal to be dropped....keeps getting a free ride in the team on past reputation

i just took 11 wickets a test ago.

 

[Batman]

Need a wicket here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmals form os a big concern. He is our only matchwinner.

 

[Bullet Drive]

We are in trouble here.

Irfan is injured. Babar is bowling badly & Ajmal is ineffective.

 

[hur rizvi]

Very poor fielding

 

[asif9137]

poor fielding

 

[hur rizvi]

hint of reverse swing there

 

[asif9137]

easy defence

 

[Bullet Drive]

Duminys first test vs Pak.

 

[asif9137]

need amla and jpd

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ball is reversing quite a bit.

 

[Xoib]

time for ajmal to be dropped....keeps getting a free ride in the team on past reputation

has 2 10 wicket hauls in last 5 tests talk about a face palm worthy post.

 

[asif9137]

was that inswing or reverse?

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[asif9137]

44444444444

 

[Batman]

Four by Duminy

 

[GreenKnightRises]

. half volley from Junaid

 

[asif9137]

sign on worry for us

 

[Batman]

4/144.

 

[hur rizvi]

Duminy is flowing freely

 

[Bullet Drive]

Dangerous partnership.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Amla must love PAK bowlers.

 

[hur rizvi]

was that inswing or reverse?

yes a little bit of reverse there

 

[Bullet Drive]

Duminy averages 50 in first class cricket.

 

[Bilal7]

Where is the proof that he is injured???...

No news what so ever from anyone, all of a sudden he's injured, i dont beleive in that

What news will you get when the sore back happened this morning? Philander had the same problem during one of the England or Australia tests.

Ajmal has lost effectiveness for sure.

By having an economy rate of under 2? The pitch has flattened, wait for days 3 and 4.

 

[WebGuru]

Duminy won't last long, he struggles against quality spin, he is a minnow basher, still living on his one time wonder hundred against the Aussies. He'll score 10 runs and Fu will choke, Amla will throw away. Advantage Pakistan, my prediction comes true most of the time.

Sir are you still there?

 

[taqi]

need to get it tight boys stop run flow

 

[Munna]

For a moment I thought that was Nasir Jamshed running towards the ball

 

[hur rizvi]

Chisty and the other guy commentating at the moment are painful to listen

 

[doctordamor]

we have no one who can play duminy like inning come and attack put opposition in back foot, all good work being undone, Umar Akmal could have done this but he is sitting out

 

[Bilal7]

Hafeez's absence being felt. No fifth proper bowler.

 

[JibranAnsari]

None of our current batsmen can show the positive intent of duminy, the one who can is out of the team.

 

[hur rizvi]

Ajmal is looking toothless

 

[WebGuru]

for a moment i thought that was nasir jamshed running towards the ball

+1

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why is midoff so deep when.ajmal bowls?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Those who were worried about SA's RR. SA are now closing in to at 3 an over. at the end of the day they'll end up near to 3.5 unlike Misbah and Co. who'll end up their RR at 2.2 from a start of 3.5

 

[Batman]

4/149.

 

[JibranAnsari]

150

 

[GreenKnightRises]

150 up for SA.

 

[hur rizvi]

In next 26 overs we need to use 2 reviews

 

[Batman]

4/150.

 

[JibranAnsari]

In next 26 overs we need to use 2 reviews

Do we have even one batsman like Kallis, Amla, ABDV etc. We should accept our players dont have ability to improve the Run Rate..

 

[hur rizvi]

Reverse swing is there, but at Junaid's pace it isnt going to trouble batsman too much

 

[asif9137]

ajmal needs to bowl over the wicket to amla

 

[Osman]

Not necessarily. We get 80 for first 2 then after 80 more 2.

...u don't get 2 on top of another 2

 

[Batman]

Not necessarily. We get 80 for first 2 then after 80 more 2.

So then after 80 overs we have 4 reviews left. Thats looks good to me.

 

[Batman]

4/152.

 

[asif9137]

tea time

 

[hur rizvi]

Not necessarily. Deleted

I think it's better to use 4 reviews than 2...

We should use the 2 reviews in next 25 overs even on half chances

 

[JibranAnsari]

South afridis session

 

[Batman]

Tea - Day 1

 

[asif9137]

So then after 80 overs we have 4 reviews left. Thats looks good to me.

no..if we do not use our reviews..we will not get more reviews. review will remain 2.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think it's better to use 4 reviews than 2...

We should use the 2 reviews in next 25 overs even on half chances

I hope we create a few chances but this pitch and pitches like these are The reason ppl dont watch test cricket.

 

[Batman]

1/86 in 29 for this session.

 

[talha3]

So then after 80 overs we have 4 reviews left. Thats looks good to me.

No. Reviews are just 'topped up' after 80 overs. It doesn't matter how many you've used, you will have 2 reviews after 80 overs.

 

[asif9137]

need to bowl some overs by shan

 

[hur rizvi]

So then after 80 overs we have 4 reviews left. Thats looks good to me.

No Regardless of the number of reviews remaining we will have 2 reviews from 80 over onwards

 

[taqi]

southafrica's session this one. Need to take atleast 4 wickets in last one

 

[Batman]

no..if we do not use our reviews..we will not get more reviews. review will remain 2.

Oh ok, we should use 4 rathar than 2.

 

[WebGuru]

So then after 80 overs we have 4 reviews left. Thats looks good to me.

In any situation the maximum available reviews are 2.

 

[hur rizvi]

This session belongs to SA...

We need atleast 2 wickets in next session
