Pakistan v South Africa l 2nd Test | Dubai | 23/10/13 | Day 1

[Bullet Drive]

Waqar doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

[London_Lahori]

Jheez its going to be difficult from here to win, even draw.

 

[Bullet Drive]

50 for Smith

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on. We need to get back into the game with 3 quick wickets else its over.

 

[saiyan0312]

and smith reaches his fifty.

 

[saiyan0312]

lead by 3 runs and 8 wickets in hand.

 

[khalil1986]

This game is all but over I reckon our batting won't post more than 300 second time around.

 

[saiyan0312]

We just let their most out of form player get back in form.

 

[Ims1]

If saffers get to 250, it will be a sure shot win for them .

 

[saiyan0312]

If they get a lead of 200 the its game over for us. Too compete with that lead we will have to make atleast 400

 

[Bullet Drive]

whatta poor field

 

[MRSN]

that was very close..

 

[Ims1]

If they get a lead of 200 the its game over for us. Too compete with that lead we will have to make atleast 400

400 is out of reach on this surface imo .

 

[castortroy]

What I don't get about our batters is that we can't play swing or seam and the myth that we are good at spin is more associated with the other Asian teams rather than us

 

[Naheem]

111/2

 

[HASHAM2]

Zulfi should bowl from Junaid khan end now

 

[Bullet Drive]

35 mins. 3 more wickets come on boys

 

[saiyan0312]

400 is out of reach on this surface imo .

Which is why i am saying game will be in their hand. they have 8 wickets in hand so that lead is not far off either.

 

[Naheem]

now mohsin hassan khan will thrash dev whatamore for this disaster

 

[Naheem]

good short by smith

 

[razabbas]

200 lead and it will an innings victory for SA

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan surely have no chance of comeback from, this situation, Even draw is not possible because of amount of time left

 

[London_Lahori]

When the hell is Zulfi coming back onto the field

 

[HASHAM2]

When the hell is Zulfi coming back onto the field

ZULFI is on field
he should bowl now

 

[saiyan0312]

inside edge but no chance,

 

[HASHAM2]

Kallis Gone on 7
LBW by Ajuu

 

[Asif321]

beauty by aju

 

[saiyan0312]

kallis gone.... Chishty said ajmal pick on someone of your size and he picks on the giant.

 

[jattafridi]

Kallis gone

 

[saiyan0312]

kallis bad run continues.

 

[MRSN]

Ajmal owns the legend..:idone

 

[Naheem]

 

[saiyan0312]

Now the most destructive batsmen is going to come who avg 74 against us this year... AB

 

[HASHAM2]

Now it is Possible
not More than 150 Lead for South africa

Pakistan score 350 plus in 2nd inning

200 Target on this Pitch not bad at all

 

[saiyan0312]

No ab but dale steyn... night watchan... take his wicket too.

 

[WebGuru]

Beauty by Aju

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I hope AB falls today inshallah !!!

 

[jattafridi]

Steyn in

 

[iRfaN_LA]

we need 1 more wicket today.

 

[saiyan0312]

it would be great if we took his wicket and AB

 

[mithun_minhas]

kallis bad run continues.

He was always poor against spin when ever I watched.

Kallis was also terrible against Warne. Now Ajmal owned him.

 

[saiyan0312]

over ended... cmon zulfi get a wicket.

 

[Naheem]

pak has 40% ANd SA HAS 60% hold in this match

 

[saiyan0312]

lead by 22

 

[Naheem]

drop??????/

 

[saiyan0312]

Edged and short... man that was close.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

just dropped short ..... very close.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Babbaaa bowling well.

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal vs smith... we need his wicket.

 

[castortroy]

"pak score 350 plus lol"

Funniest thing I have read today

 

[iRfaN_LA]

bad ball to end the over, GS has strike again.

 

[MRSN]

get Steyn out Ajmal.

 

[saiyan0312]

Well bowled and did that fell short.

 

[MRSN]

Misbah should have more attack field against Steyn?

 

[saiyan0312]

6 overs left in the day.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Steyn has done well.

 

[shanali]

Steyn playing exactly how Azhar Ali bats, as a night watchmen!

 

[saiyan0312]

why did smith give strike to steyn against babar.

 

[HASHAM2]

Zulfi vs Steyn

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Babar vs Steyn.

 

[saiyan0312]

now steyn has an attacking field around him.

 

[saiyan0312]

Babar vs smith.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

SA is playing positive, unlike our meek batters.

 

[saiyan0312]

steyn to face ajmal again.

 

[saiyan0312]

man that was close.

 

[saiyan0312]

again good ball.

 

[saiyan0312]

steyn misses and it will be plumb lbw

 

[saiyan0312]

110 kph ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan missed the trick by playing only two spinners.

 

[razabbas]

Stumps

 

[Naheem]

128-3 stumps

 

[hur rizvi]

Day and most probably the game also belongs to SA, Pakistan are done in this game

 

[smasher1980]

I predict that Pakistan will make a dramatic comeback in this test tomorrow.

 

[hur rizvi]

SA is playing positive, unlike our meek batters.

still have scored at 2.6 RPO

 

[London_Lahori]

We missed Zulfi in those middle overs man cost us some runs and maybe a wicket or two.

We've bowled well but haven't been lucky so far. Tomorrow with a bit of luck we can keep SA to a 100 run lead

 

[razabbas]

I predict that Pakistan will make a dramatic comeback in this test tomorrow.

App k moo ma ghee shakar mithiee aur sab kuch metha metha

 

[hur rizvi]

I predict that Pakistan will make a dramatic comeback in this test tomorrow.

MAtch is beyond Pakistan, SA are off to a very good start, lead by 29 with 3 genuine batsman still to come, Pakistan are looking at a deficit of atleast 100-150 if they bowl well, and if they dont bowl well an innings defeat is looming
