Pakistan v South Africa l 2nd Test | Dubai | 25/10/13 | Day 3

[hur rizvi]

FaF playing a real selfish innings, when your team is leading by 400+ runs, 12 off 41 is just pathetic

 

[Robbie]

Pakistan have done a great job by taking 3 wickets this morning otherwise the scoring rate and the lead would be much greater than it is now.

 

[Indiafan]

It's not about pitch had that catch been taken SA would have been in trouble, Duminy and Faf look clueless regardless of the pitch

Duminy is a gritty fighter and pitch would have definitely helped him. No way SA would have been out on 200

 

[Robbie]

FaF playing a real selfish innings, when your team is leading by 400+ runs, 12 off 41 is just pathetic

No, it isn't . There are more than 2 and a half days of cricket left. SA want to grind pak batsman mentally and for that Faf needs to be there and not make a quick 30 or 40 runs to get out.

 

[Indiafan]

FaF playing a real selfish innings, when your team is leading by 400+ runs, 12 off 41 is just pathetic

Am sure, they are also playing for time. Clearly they want the pitch to deteriorate more before putting Pakistan in. They already have enough runs on board

 

[Justcrazy]

505 / 7

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will loose by innings here

 

[Justcrazy]

approaching another 5 fer here

 

[hur rizvi]

Turn from the rough, Ominous for Pakistan

 

[Robbie]

Philander gone

 

[Justcrazy]

has done well , but too late here

 

[Justcrazy]

I have a feeling tahir will get another 5 fer here

 

[Robbie]

Third highest lead conceded by Pakistan in Test cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

"the last time pakistan conceded a ist innings lead of over 400 was against west indies in 1958,in reply pakistan scored 657 runs in their second innings.hanif mohammad scored 337 runs in over 16 hours.

 

[Justcrazy]

Too much time left for a draw.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Morkel with the boundary

 

[Justcrazy]

1 wicket away from his 9th 5 fer

 

[CrowingRooster]

511-8 after 158

 

[CrowingRooster]

Lead by 412

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar has been disappointing so far

 

[CrowingRooster]

Swing and a miss. Good ball

 

[CrowingRooster]

Single taken

 

[CrowingRooster]

514-8 after 160

 

[CrowingRooster]

Lead by 415

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 416 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Match is going just one way -------> SA way

 

[Indiafan]

Lol, at Ajmal vs Gould

 

[jattafridi]

Saeed Ajmal 5fer take that

 

[Justcrazy]

gets another 5 fer

 

[Justcrazy]

Something to celebrate for pakistan

 

[Robbie]

Morkel

 

[Osman]

mike haysman saying umpires have been very good this series ...really? how about that plumb lbw turned down against de villiers yesterday eh mike?

 

[ammar93]

Is there a Gould vs Ajmal thing going on? It says stuff like that in the cricinfo commentry.

 

[Robbie]

Umpire Gould seems not impressed at all by Ajmal's exultion.

 

[saeedhk]

Controversy??Ajmal vs umpire??

 

[Energetic]

lol Ajmal takes his wickets against lower order and tail and Pakistan fans celebrate. 155 runs conceded as well.

 

[saeedhk]

1…

 

[Indiafan]

mike haysman saying umpires have been very good this series ...really? how about that plumb lbw turned down against de villiers yesterday eh mike?

After seeing the Ashes, etc, just one bad decision doesnt seem too bad

 

[Red Devil]

Why was that fan kicked out?

 

[Robbie]

trouble with the crowd..
Pathetic crowd!

 

[Red Devil]

6-fer for Ajmal

 

[jattafridi]

6 wickets for champion

 

[ammar93]

lol Ajmal takes his wickets against lower order and tail and Pakistan fans celebrate. 155 runs conceded as well.

So an opener, one down, and two down qualify as lower order now? There hasn't been much else to celebrate about in this match anyways.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA still not declaring

 

[CrowingRooster]

517-10 after 163.1

 

[Justcrazy]

30 test matches

159 wickets.

Sadly do not think he will get chance to bowl in second innings

 

[Red Devil]

Now time to switch off the TV

 

[ammar93]

Maybe they shouldn't have gotten out lol. They didn't seem like they wanted to declare and the scoring rate wasn't very good either.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Lead by 418

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead , massive 418 runs

 

[saiyan0312]

You know if we make Sa bat again ajmal can get a tenfer. so a total of 8 sessions to bat on that means about 240 overs!!!! A lead of 418

 

[DanishJamil]

Now khurram and shaan should get an injection of tukness and bat all day

 

[hur rizvi]

LOL at shan wasting the review

 

[Justcrazy]

Shan Masood lbw b Steyn 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

 

[saiyan0312]

Some motivation is needed

 

[lilFlip]

Not missing in this one

 

[Buffet]

Pakistani batsmen parade continues.

 

[saiyan0312]

Soo much BD assurances that he can bat for long periods.

 

[nish_mate]

Lmao!

 

[hur rizvi]

We would be lucky to take match to 4th day

 

[MVP26]

Not surprised by the ******** getting out

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon azhar if you dont do anything significant you are so toast.

 

[zains_rulez]

WTH they batted through out the 2 days and we are already one down

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar Ali takes guard and Steyn still has two balls to go before the interval. Four slips again

 

[hur rizvi]

Pak 100/11 so far in this match

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Soo much BD assurances that he can bat for long periods.

There is a reason his record is so awful

 

[Spidy201]

pakistan -416 for 1

 

[saiyan0312]

Why was azhar chasing a wide one... Was he thinking we can erase the lead with careless plays.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What a stupid review! Is our team completely brainless when it comes to using reviews? The game should be over today i think!

 

[hur rizvi]

Straight away Khurram edges one

 

[Amjid Javed]

Expect AA to just block, block and then throw it away as usual.

 

[saiyan0312]

tuk tuk tuk thats what they should be doing.

 

[hur rizvi]

Khurram

LOL

Pak 146/15 (After 1st innings in Abu-Dhabi)

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A have learnt from the 1st test 1st inns and adjusted there lengths to a much fuller one and its pretty much exposed the lack of technic in most of our batsmen

 

[saiyan0312]

Seriously masood should not have taken that review... considering we have to survive for long periods each review was important.

 

[saiyan0312]

khurram goes too... He has a pair now. They were supposed to showcase their defence.

 

[hur rizvi]

Who is missing Hafeez LOL, Both openers dismissed for a duck

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan opener fails, no shock here!

The so called finding of a future pair is a load of Hot air!

Pakistan 2/2

wont be surprised if we get bowled out for less than 100 in both inns!

 

[saeedhk]

Gone.....................

 

[saeedhk]

Will we be able to make 99?
