Nobody not even Clarke or Amla or Pietersen can match AB when he is batting like this.

Nop!!! KP is a beast in making bowlers crying for their Mommas.
Only batsmen better than him in that regard are Viv Richards, Sehwag and Lara.

Dunno about Viv but Lara was suspect against genuine pace and KP struggled against Ajmal. When in the zone nobody troubles AB
 
I apologize for being a bit offmark there. By looking at the start of the 2nd innings , I would add another 50 runs to lead.

Lead of 300 runs before end of todays play.
 
Like I said earlier the lead is getting to dangerous proportions,I can only see two result possible a draw(the chances are very bleak of course) or a saffer victory(which is more likely)you guys have really messed up a wonderful opportunity to defeat south Africa .the form they are in pata nahi hamare ladle kya karenge,considering it's a new bunch of players,I'd be happy if dhoni and co can atleast give them a fight or two in these matches.
 
Kyle: "This, right here, is once again proof why the Proteas are the best side in the world. Instead of slowing accumulating runs, they are well and truly burying Pakistan before Tea on Day 2."

Everybody struggles against some particular bowler. ABD struggled against Zaheer Khan.

KP makes bowler look like a nobody. His subtle "Walks" in the crease and playing 5th stump line outswinger from Steyn and depositing in the stands made Steyn look like a trundler in SA. That was out of the world.
 
They have 50 overs left. Even with a RR of 2, they will reach 300
 
When Imran Tahir outbowls your own spinners, you have a problem. Frankly Speaking Ajmal should be automatic selection & Babar shouldn't have played

If smith can make a 200 then so can our batsmen... another misfield... These misfield are an indication that our players have given up. No saleem malik heroics looks like.
 
Its sad to see Pakistan batsman waste such a good toss and that too to a sub standard spinner like Tahir.

Its not the bowlers, it was the PAK batsmen who made bowling look good. Even Afghan batsmen would not get bowled under 100 on this wicket.
 
Standard of pakistan batting has probably hit a low point , it will reach its lowest in next two years.

Tell me please what can Pak do without intl matches in Pak? Can't groom players with side matches, can't allow batsman to groom in familiar conditions, it not all you know for lack of trying
 
After Tea, if ABD & G Smith are still there then the scoring will be nearly 5 runs per over. i.e around 150 runs.
 
on cricinfo "He's never had AB out in a Test, should have had him lbw today though. "

Thanks tucker.
 
Another thing Pakistani fans should realize, we have ok bowlers not great bowlers, pak need a bowler which can rip through batting line ups engineer collapse, and we have not a single bowler who can do that
 
Dale: "Every additional hour that SA bats adds an extra centimetre to Imran Tahir's anticipatory smile."

:))
 
We cant pick up wickets ! Just wait till SA bowl again and see how they destroy us !
 
Pakistan Team needs a complete change in all formats , need to get guys like Steve waugh / Geoff Marsh / Greg Chappell as head coach of academies.
 
AB and Smith Have brought this attack to knees here. They will make bowlers toil further here. No respite in sight. This will be a massive lead. Innings defeat on here.
 
Irfan to bowl... way too many bowling changes.. atleats give them time. showing we are out of ideas.
 
AB hammering us just like he did when he made a 200+ score on the last tour here..
 
Useless short balls !

But that one to smith was nasty !

They play short ball so well. our batsmen look like they are swinging the bat while they play with ease and keep the ball low.
 
Anyone agrees with me that, Azhar, Shafiq, Babar needs to be dropped, team need balance we need an all rounder so we can use 5th bowler
 
Lead is 200.! 6 wickets in hand.
350 will be the lead minimum at the end of the day
