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

[akamaka]

we asked for a turning pitch and then couldnt handle it

 

[BHM :D]

We needed 200 plus to have any remote chance.

pitch is taking alot of turn, you never know

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar and tanvir ahmed would have built a century partnership

 

[Smooth Driver]

1 more to Junaid.

 

[saiyan0312]

single and juanid is playing sensibly too. i mostly see him going for hits.

 

[RelaxBud]

We needed 200 plus to have any remote chance.

Not really just need to bowl sa out under 150 and get a lead of 200 we are sorted.

 

[BHM :D]

99 up

 

[Smooth Driver]

1111 to Zulfi.

 

[saiyan0312]

that was a very goo delivery ... slower one and well negotiated... very nice.

 

[JibranAnsari]

99 now .

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid gets bowled and that was a ripper. again for 99.

 

[Smooth Driver]

99 all out

 

[jattafridi]

99 ao

)

 

[saiyan0312]

babar really helped us.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

99. previous first innings score dubai.

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL 99 again...

 

[Red Devil]

All out

 

[hussain.r97]

99 all out, exactly same score as they made against England!

 

[saiyan0312]

lets see if we can come back like last time.

 

[Bullet Drive]

99 all out. Not bad from PAK on a tough pitch.

SA - 44 all out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ledts hope it is dubai all over again but pathetic batting display against a very poor bowler tahir.

 

[saiyan0312]

history repeating itself ?

 

[jattafridi]

Predict SA score ?

 

[doctordamor]

99 all out exactly same as the one against England, unlike England this match is go went gone. No lessons learned and losing due to Imran Tahir is just criminal

 

[JibranAnsari]

99 all out. Not bad from PAK on a tough pitch.

SA - 44 all out.

haha..not bad

 

[saiyan0312]

99 all out. Not bad from PAK on a tough pitch.

SA - 44 all out.

44 AO ... We are playing SA not china. They have AB. We get them for 150 i would call it a great performance.

 

[doctordamor]

Predict SA score ?

an inning loss to Pakistan

 

[jattafridi]

My prediction

SA 436

 

[Sam18696]

History must be repeating itself!! (I hope)

 

[GreenKnightRises]

well done Pakistan. We've clearly outplayed Saffers in this first innings. Take that Haters.
Misbah and his crew has taken us to a solid first innings total of 99.

 

[WebGuru]

44 AO ... We are playing SA not china. They have AB. We get them for 150 i would call it a great performance.

That's a secret i am telling you actually we imported the pitch from Shanghai!

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK have to get SA out under 200 to have a chance.

 

[m.shah]

Pak batters r so rubbish

 

[doctordamor]

When Tahir came to bowl 1st over I tweeted watch Pak makes Tahir next Shane Warne and they didn't disappoint me

 

[akheR]

I sense a special.

 

[Red Devil]

When Tahir came to bowl 1st over I tweeted watch Pak makes Tahir next Shane Warne and they didn't disappoint me

[jattafridi]

Only person can save us is the magician

 

[razabbas]

Just woke up :-| Hadh hogai

 

[doctordamor]

This is one pathetic batting at least England bowled good to get us out this time we gifted wkt after wkt

 

[saiyan0312]

Ok batsmen coming in and Irfan to bowl... we need a steynisc performance.

 

[doctordamor]

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showpost.php?p=6173640&postcount=68

Great minds thinks alike

 

[akheR]

will bowl like Garner.

 

[Red Devil]

Players on the pitch

 

[saiyan0312]

Just woke up :-| Hadh hogai

Yeah we all just woke up too.

 

[jattafridi]

If can tahir can do it than ajmal also can do it

 

[trogger]

So was this a real bad batting display? or is the pitch unplayable like the eng vs pak test?

 

[doctordamor]

Guys this match is gone an inning victory at least so lets save urself some pain and don't think abt win. If I am wrong I will be happy to eat humble pie, but SA are not England

 

[saiyan0312]

we cant afford extras.

 

[doctordamor]

So was this a real bad batting display? or is the pitch unplayable like the eng vs pak test?

Pathetic batting display all wkts gifted

 

[m.shah]

lol who would have thought that pak batting would be ripped apart by Tahir

 

[Red Devil]

Wide to start

 

[Red Devil]

147 Kph Peach

 

[JibranAnsari]

South Africa will attack from word GO.

 

[saiyan0312]

So was this a real bad batting display? or is the pitch unplayable like the eng vs pak test?

Pitch has effects but we really gave it in. khurram,younis,asad,adnan all gave it away. While misbah and azhar got out to a slight turning googly and an inswinger respectively( both not unplayable but good deliveries.) and masood got an unlucky edge to wickets.

 

[Red Devil]

Impressive pace from Irfan

 

[Justcrazy]

This time 99 will not be enough

 

[Red Devil]

2

 

[saiyan0312]

2 runs... we must keep our length tight.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir got turn from the pitch , Can Pakistan spinners do the same?

 

[saiyan0312]

better bowl... we need those edged to hit.. cmon juni.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get SA out for 150 max here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmal should bowl the next over , no runs to waste on junaid.

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid khan to bowl... cmon man.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan wasted a good Toss. Its better if Pakistan had lost the toss.

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid needs to extract swing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should get in there spinners early here , not too many runs to play with

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would miss here

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan have made one thing for sure the way they batted in the first inning that this game will not result in a draw

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan could have gone with three spinners here

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why junaid khan?

Give the ball to ajmal. Junaid can not swing the ball.

 

[saiyan0312]

1 from the over.... we need wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have made one thing for sure the way they batted in the first inning that this game will not result in a draw

pakistan would need at least 180 runs in the final innings to defend , anything less would be easy for SA

 

[Wattoo]

Four ducks - Zulfi highest scorer ..Pak batting lineup

 

[JibranAnsari]

This match won't go past tea day 3.

 

[saiyan0312]

bad ball and

 

[Jaggu]

)

 

[Justcrazy]

Zulfi needs to be given the ball , attack with spin , a few wickets might set some panic

 

[Jaggu]

Ban this guy please

Why so angry? Im not South African you know

 

[saiyan0312]

loud appeal but looks to be going to leg side and review... i thats a bad review.

 

[saiyan0312]

umpires call and not out.
