[smasher1980]

Didnt this Babar guy bowl medium pace...or am I mixing him up with someone else??

 

[asif9137]

[Red Devil]

Extra bounce with the new ball!

 

[Square Drive]

New ball finally taken.

[Sheikh]

Would like to see Steyn roughed up a bit here.

 

[Ims1]

241/8

 

[MRSN]

that was expected..Amla was waiting for some fast bowling.

 

[hur rizvi]

keep bowling babar he looks like he'll get steyn

 

[asif9137]

hope juni gets styen now

 

[GreenKnightRises]

to end the over

 

[MRSN]

MRSN you back..welcome

thanks mate..what happened to your posts count??

 

[asif9137]

partnership already 19

 

[Sledger]

Junaid on.

 

[Ims1]

PK desperately need a A/R in 11 . Four bowlers is stretching it .

245/8

 

[Saurav]

poor decision to take the new ball imo

 

[Sledger]

No swing and four.

 

[asif9137]

what a shot by styen 444444444

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol. from Steyn. easy pickings

 

[hur rizvi]

What a pathetic decision to take new ball so late....


and then removing Babar, steyn was slogging he would have got out at some time

 

[jattafridi]

steyn to make a century

 

[asif9137]

see some poster saying poor decision to take new ball

 

[asif9137]

3 balls to go

 

[Ims1]

300 on .

 

[asif9137]

yorker him

 

[hur rizvi]

see some poster saying poor decision to take new ball

yeah it is a poor decision, Babar was bowling well to steyn, he almost got his wicket, and we take new ball and remove him next over

 

[asif9137]

new ball not doing anything for juni

 

[MRSN]

should have bowled some more overs of spin against Steyn..

 

[Sledger]

Not getting any swing..

 

[WebGuru]

Didnt this Babar guy bowl medium pace...or am I mixing him up with someone else??

That was Tanvir Ahmed if you are talking about the guy who toured SA earlier this year.

 

[asif9137]

common team pakistan....do not make styen a quality batsman

 

[MRSN]

see some poster saying poor decision to take new ball

Zulfi would have get rid of Steyn the way things were going..Misbah was just being Misbah..

 

[GreenKnightRises]

What a pathetic decision to take new ball so late....


and then removing Babar, steyn was slogging he would have got out at some time

'Mr. Logic' has a definite plan behind those things. we can't question those divine decisions

 

[hur rizvi]

Why remove spinners when they were looking so good

 

[Ims1]

partnership looking dangerous .

 

[MRSN]

it's not like Saffers are 5 down and you take the new ball 3-4 overs before close of play..they were 8 down and spinners were doing so well..

 

[MRSN]

No swing whatsoever...easy tuk tukking for Steyn and Amla..

 

[hur rizvi]

Give last over to Babar ...

 

[asif9137]

new ball not doing anything for our pacers

 

[MRSN]

1 to go..

 

[Sledger]

245/8, on left.

 

[asif9137]

last over comming up

 

[hur rizvi]

Easy passage to close of play given by Misbah to SA

 

[asif9137]

wow i never see any cloud in UAE

 

[asif9137]

styen will be third HS scorer after 15

 

[asif9137]

Zulfi is back..

 

[hur rizvi]

Why did you give 1 over to Junaid ??

 

[asif9137]

Give last over to Babar ...

wish come true

 

[GreenKnightRises]

LOl. Seriously.? Only 1 over for Junaid.?

 

[Ims1]

Baabar bowling- smart move.

 

[asif9137]

cpatain what a fielder he is

 

[hur rizvi]

Now giving steyn chance of an easy single ... get mid-on up

 

[asif9137]

wow..styen can bat too..

 

[Ims1]

Now giving steyn chance of an easy single ... get mid-on up

he will shield amla .

 

[asif9137]

2 balls left

 

[Sledger]

2 balls left.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Really some awkward stuffs from our Kapaatn as usual

 

[asif9137]

last ball can we take wicket?

 

[Red Devil]

Stumps

 

[MRSN]

I don't think Steyn is stupid enough to fall in this obivious trap..

 

[Sledger]

Steyn survives..

 

[Ims1]

Stumpssssssssssssssssssss

 

[asif9137]

thats it.....well played pakistan and AMLA!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

That will end the days play.

 

[hur rizvi]

PAthetic captaincy in last 5 overs by misbah

 

[asif9137]

get them out below 275

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan's day. Dominated the whole game except for the fluke Duminy strike

 

[Saurav]

good day for Pakistan

Amla doing awesome as usual too

 

[asif9137]

good performance by pak

 

[truefan]

Very good show by Pak,250 by Sa should be a good score for Pak to overtake and take first inning lead

 

[the Great Khan]

just listening to the PTV analysis program with Mohisn and some otehr chap. The presenter is trying to tout faisal iqbal as a genuine player. Seriously some Pakistanis need to get their head examined!

 

[Sam18696]

Good performance by Pak Peterson and Amla were the only one who could score.
