Pakistan v South Africa l 2nd Test | Dubai | 24/10/13 | Day 2

[Nikhil_cric]

It wont work. AB plays spin much better then pace. He will be at full ease.

Think he can handle both quite easily although he might be troubled by Irfan's pace.

 

[saiyan0312]

134 kph.... juni n eeds to up the speed or atleast mix it ... bowl 140 then 138 then a slower one 132 to 128....

 

[imshally81]

Dont lose confidence, we can still win the game.

How ? can u explain ??

 

[Haroon786]

When DID JK become a trundler?

 

[London_Lahori]

Dropping AB first ball that was a huge ticket back into the game

 

[saiyan0312]

Think he can handle both quite easily although he might be troubled by Irfan's pace.

Ofcourse he can play both good but he plays spin better then pace however our pacers must attack AB and our keepers must take catches~!!!!!!1

 

[Haroon786]

How ? can u explain ??

I know its difficult, but just have to.believe

 

[hur rizvi]

Average stuff from Junaid, it's better to attack from both sides with spinners

Lead is swelling

 

[saiyan0312]

There is always a delivery called yorker... if juni cant get much then might as well try spin.... maybe smith might fall.

 

[Kianig89]

Dropping AB first ball that was a huge ticket back into the game

Exactly but Akmals they never disappoint

 

[hur rizvi]

I know its difficult, but just have to.believe

This match is beyond Pakistan....

It's not difficult, it is impossible

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Smith scoring runs without any risk.

 

[Haroon786]

Losing hope evey minute now, pathetic.bowling.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This match is beyond Pakistan....

It's not difficult, it is impossible

Actually this partnership is key. Duminy and Du Plessis might struggle against spinners. They have to break this partnership soon though

 

[Colt]

Akmals are all cursed..

Sarfraz and Salman are not international quality.

Are there no Khan's or Latif's in our domestic circuit?

 

[hur rizvi]

Babar bowling -ive line now to AB

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor stuff from ulfiqar. Should continue bowling around the wicket to AB.

 

[saiyan0312]

Actually this partnership is key. Duminy and Du Plessis might struggle against spinners. They have to break this partnership soon though

oh then its done, oh no wait he dropped the catch..

They are playing with soo much ease.

 

[hur rizvi]

Brilliant stuff from SA, AB batting Pakistan out of the game

 

[Naheem]

169/4

 

[hur rizvi]

Actually this partnership is key. Duminy and Du Plessis might struggle against spinners. They have to break this partnership soon though

Duminy, Duplesis and Philander might be bad against spin, but all they need to do is get 20s and PAkistan are out of this match

 

[hur rizvi]

Rubbish stuff continues from Junaid

 

[Haroon786]

Smith on verge of 27th ton.

 

[saiyan0312]

that bouncer was slow.

 

[speed]

Bakwas bowling

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid gets a weird outswing. not in a good way.

 

[Haroon786]

JK bowling pies.

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid needs to up it or else leave and come back.

 

[Naheem]

both ab and gs are rotating strike very well

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Duminy, Duplesis and Philander might be bad against spin, but all they need to do is get 20s and PAkistan are out of this match

True that. Can't blame the bowlers though for Pakistan's woeful batting. 99 is too low a score on a decent batting wicket.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid needs to be taken off

 

[saiyan0312]

take junaid out and bring him back later... its not working for him right now so give him some rest to collect his thoughts and then give him a spell later.

 

[saiyan0312]

Babar needs to change ends against AB

 

[hur rizvi]

True that. Can't blame the bowlers though for Pakistan's woeful batting. 99 is too low a score on a decent batting wicket.

yes it's not fault of our bowlers

 

[saiyan0312]

zulfi keep it at the ground... bowling full tosses.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Smith and AB are looking comfortable now. SA will be looking to bat once and bat big.

 

[hur rizvi]

ABDV trolling with babar

 

[saiyan0312]

bowlers bowling defensive.

 

[saiyan0312]

24 runs added to the lead that shouldnt have been added due to the catch.

 

[Naheem]

:4

 

[saiyan0312]

Irfan bowling... finally a change.

 

[Vayuu]

The moment this lead crosses100 ,which is not very far away,the pressure will start rising on the paksitani team,things are getting out of hand quickly.

 

[Kianig89]

Junaid very expensive here

 

[saiyan0312]

what is with this spin and pace combo. why not try spin choke on both ends.

 

[Kianig89]

The moment this lead crosses,which is not very far away,the pressure will start rising on the paksitani team,things are getting out of hand quickly.

pressure is already mounting my friend

 

[Kianig89]

Smith nearing a ton

 

[doctordamor]

Rahat Ali, Ehsan Adil, Asad Ali, Zulfiqar Babar knocking domestic batsman right and left season after season, this explains why pak batting is so bad

 

[saiyan0312]

why bowl wide... why not attack spin.

 

[Kianig89]

24 runs added to the lead that shouldnt have been added due to the catch.

Ab kia ho skta hai bhai its useless crying over split milk

 

[saiyan0312]

i think pitch is taking pace away from bowlers so they must bowl tight line and length.

 

[Kianig89]

AB's SR is threatening

 

[saiyan0312]

Ab kia ho skta hai bhai its useless crying over split milk

It indeed is but you can strangle the guy who spilled it. :adnan:adnan:adnan

 

[Kianig89]

i think pitch is taking pace away from bowlers so they must bowl tight line and length.

here we need a right arm bowler who should ball close to stumps wicket to wicket stuff may be someone like

 

[saiyan0312]

pace is not working so we must try a spin combo.

 

[saiyan0312]

oh finally babar changes ends....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Irfan needs to make the batsman play. Smith is happily leaving the ball alone.

 

[Kianig89]

last 10 overs RR 4.3

 

[saiyan0312]

here we need a right arm bowler who should ball close to stumps wicket to wicket stuff may be someone like

might not be a bad idea to have a right hander in the squad for options.

 

[Kianig89]

session belongs to SA so far :adnan

 

[Kianig89]

might not be a bad idea to have a right hander in the squad for options.

look what steyn did right arm close to stumps 140+kph i'm not comparing talha with steyn but he also has these traits right arm 140kph+

 

[saiyan0312]

lead 84 with 6 wickets. they are not even wasting time.,

 

[saiyan0312]

We soo need a wicket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Captain's knock from Smith so far. Sensible, risk - free batting.

 

[imshally81]

Match is gone....

 

[Osman]

guys i dont think the drop of de villiers is as easy as some are saying...i didnt see it but from what i read it was a hard chance

 

[saiyan0312]

jamsheed should learn from smith... look how he moved in his crease. this can help him alot.

 

[saiyan0312]

slightly in the air but fell short... catcher near would have caught it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And the moment Irfan bowls a tight line AB is rattled.

 

[saiyan0312]

Another warning and if he gets one more he is out .... Irfan must be careful.

 

[hur rizvi]

Irfan on last warning now, he might as well take some rest for ODI series this match is gone for Pakistan

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal is back although AB plays him soo soo soo well/ but plz show some magic.

 

[saiyan0312]

appeal but on pads... he got a good delivery so need to keep it tight and no more fast bowler aggression that leads to four.

 

[hur rizvi]

That was plumb

 

[saiyan0312]

appeal again... ajmal looking better. Wait that was pads first.

 

[saiyan0312]

That was plumb!!!!!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Osman]

was out....horrendous umpiring

 

[saiyan0312]

AB was actually trapped by ajmal... thats a pretty big laurel but no review.

 

[hur rizvi]

That was as plumb as it can get ...


Reviews wasted yesterday costing Pakistan now

 

[saiyan0312]

We needed reviews to avoid these howlers and this one was a great howler.
