[Red Devil]

 

[saiyan0312]

we need them to throw it away like we did.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sense an innings defeat coming our way

 

[saiyan0312]

 

[Red Devil]

more

 

[Sam18696]

Another

 

[Osman]

poor stuff...spinners need to be brought on if we are to have any chance....this is not england batting

 

[BHM :D]

spinners should be brought on

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor bowling by irfan.

 

[saiyan0312]

Reminds me of the first test in SA.

more... Irfan is being attacked.

 

[Sam18696]

And Another

 

[JibranAnsari]

and another.

 

[saiyan0312]

more... three fours ... this is very bad bowlin and some very good hitting.

 

[Osman]

against england they were under 10 for 2...those who are expecting lightning to strike twice dream on...this game is gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very poor bowling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

23 runs in last two overs.

 

[Sam18696]

Ajmal in

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal to bowl

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon we need wickets....

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal to bowl...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Finally Ajmal in after settling the batsmen in well bravo

 

[Sam18696]

Gooo ajmal

 

[m.shah]

Presidents trophy started today...Zia ul Haq and Hammad Azam ripped up PIA for just 135

 

[saiyan0312]

looks like they will get a big lead.

 

[taqi]

pakistan lost 5days match in 2 hours

 

[saiyan0312]

it might not be a bad idea to bring spin on both ends and give junaid the old ball to reverse.

 

[saiyan0312]

Irfan is persisted with... hopefully he can give a wicket.

 

[smasher1980]

All reviews used up?? Looks like pak has gone into panic mode already!!

 

[WebGuru]

So this is Alviro's highest score in this series.

 

[saiyan0312]

trail by 65 and Irfan might get banned...

Two runs.

 

[Sam18696]

I sense an inning defeat

 

[Red Devil]

Too easy for SA I reckon they'll score 350-400

 

[saiyan0312]

we are troubling to remove openers... much less AB

 

[Sam18696]

Bring in Zulfi!

 

[Sam18696]

Ajmal looks pretty ordinary

 

[Sam18696]

Zulfi in

 

[Sam18696]

Lol. Where is everybody?

 

[AZulfi]

Deja vu

Pakistan have effectively handed this test in the first session to South Africa

They HAVE to bat like this once in a while ... uss k begher khana hazam nahin hota

 

[AZulfi]

And Tahir of all the bowlers who was mighty unimpressive in his first 11 tests (26 wickets at 50.19) Sami would be proud of these stats

 

[Sam18696]

That's not out...

 

[Sam18696]

yesssssssssss

 

[bluffmasterv2]

seems like only Babar was ready for this match.

 

[BHM :D]

Zulfi gets his man, come on

 

[Sam18696]

Elgar in

 

[saiyan0312]

awesome babar but why review it. That was a throw away review.

 

[London_Lahori]

here we go fellas... Elgar can't score and Smith is in bad touch so will get out in a bit 50-3 and all pressure will be on Kallis and AB

 

[saiyan0312]

a leg bye.

 

[Sam18696]

Babar will get 5 iA

 

[saiyan0312]

here we go fellas... Elgar can't score and Smith is in bad touch so will get out in a bit 50-3 and all pressure will be on Kallis and AB

The guy in bold is the one worrying me.

 

[saiyan0312]

looks like will be a last over before tea.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why writing off elgar so soon. He is a very good player.

 

[saiyan0312]

well lets hope we can take 6 wickets for the next 60 runs.

 

[Sam18696]

Elgar off the mark

 

[saiyan0312]

That hit him on boots and that looked close.... no review.

 

[Sam18696]

Was that out?

 

[saiyan0312]

That looked out to me.

 

[Sam18696]

Tea

 

[mosh101]

That was out dammit !

Oh wait, replay shows that original decision would stick

 

[saiyan0312]

Those reviews were needed./// no umpires call would have saved smith.

 

[mosh101]

Saffers doing great here !

 

[saiyan0312]

we will miss those reviews.

 

[arehaan]

Oh wait we have Ian Gould as umpire and what does Misbah do waste all our reviews on rubbish calls.

 

[London_Lahori]

That just looked out... Need the rub of the green to go our way.

 

[arehaan]

SA already got 2 umpire calls

 

[London_Lahori]

The runs have stopped and there's chances to be had, relax my fellow PP'ers this the next session will produce 4/5 wickets and all will be on the up tonight.

 

[Sam18696]

Insh Allah Pak will come back strongly after tea

 

[London_Lahori]

A couple of umpire calls go against us, by law of averages the next 1 will go for us.

 

[saiyan0312]

The runs have stopped and there's chances to be had, relax my fellow PP'ers this the next session will produce 4/5 wickets and all will be on the up tonight.

Well the only way we will be on top is if we take them down all out on 100 today and the only way we will come back is if they end the day 7 down with less then 120.

 

[saiyan0312]

juni bowling... why?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why junaid khan?

 

[saiyan0312]

why not keep the two spin choke. juni is keeping it tight but he needs wickets.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This will release pressure further.

 

[London_Lahori]

Well the only way we will be on top is if we take them down all out on 100 today and the only way we will come back is if they end the day 7 down with less then 120.

110-6 at the end of days play

 

[saiyan0312]

come on juni.... In my view he should have been brought when the ball was old for some reverse.

 

[saiyan0312]

better bowl... stayed low.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistans only attacking option is spin. Even azhar can be made to some use funally

 

[saiyan0312]

ok one from the over but we really need wickets.

 

[mosh101]

Pakistan will have to wrap them up cheaply else we may end up facing an innings defeat

 

[saiyan0312]

Come on ajmal.

 

[saiyan0312]

ok flighted that one...
