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

[Pete Rose]

ball gets changed. only fair.

 

[Bilal7]

Are no runs going to be docked off?

 

[Bilal7]

ball gets changed. only fair.

No. The tampering accounted for all these wickets, they should be docked a lot of runs.

 

[Pete Rose]

Full marks to Keppler for calling it out.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Ball is being changed. Pretty shocking stuff from SA. Who was the bowler scratching with his nail, was he Philander?

 

[Pete Rose]

No. The tampering accounted for all these wickets, they should be docked a lot of runs.

Really? The openers who when in the first two overs and Azhar to the spinner?

[dhump]

4.01pm The umpires are calling Graeme Smith, the South African captain, for a little chat about something, but its not quite clear what the issue is. The fourth umpire is out there with a new set of balls. And yes, it looks like the ball has been changed and a five-run penalty has been awarded to Pakisan

Come one saffers this was not needed seriously shameful act.

 

[Pete Rose]

Yes

 

[amjad145]

This is a disgrace

 

[Seen Sheen]

5 penalty runs awarded to Pakistan. Rightly so.

 

[amjad145]

Philander should be banned

 

[amjad145]

We should walk off pitch

 

[Bilal7]

Now this defeat won't hurt too much, knowing how the Saffers had to cheat to beat an honest bunch like us.

 

[dhump]

We should walk off pitch

no need for this lets play the game at least we know now how ball was swinging all the way.

 

[dhump]

30.0
Steyn to Younis Khan, no run, good stop by Petersen at gully. It was a full length ball, but there is no swing on offer now, as the batsman steers it square of the wicket on the off side

And suddenly

 

[Bilal7]

I'm off. Can't be seeing this farce.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Disgraceful stuff. Blatantly scratching and after the Ball was changed,reacting as if you've been hard done by.

aab drama to karna haina mazloom bannay ka.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Does anyone remember in the first innings ball started reversing after just 20 overs. Who knows they might have done something then as well. That reversing ball certainly accounted for Younus and later Junaid.

 

[RehanG]

Pakistan should boycott this match we don't want to play vs the cheats..

 

[Sunny786]

Ball not moving an inch now I wonder how they got reverse swing early in the first innings as well. I guess that was their way of learning how to bowl in this match.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Pakistan should boycott this match we don't want to play vs the cheats..

Dear no need to act dramatically here. Ball has been changed pretty early and thankfully for us it didn't account for any wicket.

 

[Indiafan]

What a pathetic slog by YK

 

[hur rizvi]

Another wicket gifted to Tahir

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wow, that was so unlike Younus. Don't know what happened to him. Bad bad dismissal.

 

[DoosraTeesra]

Younis Khan gone

 

[eradicator]

Yeah Younis Khan also dismissed due to tampering.

 

[Ims1]

Pakistan should boycott this match we don't want to play vs the cheats..

trying to run away from defeat ?

 

[OmaIR1]

Yeah Younis Khan also dismissed due to tampering.

true

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

what the hell younis

 

[Ims1]

Imran Tahir to Younis Khan, OUT, beated in the flight and the turn. This was the googly from Tahir and he is off on his run, arms stretched wide. Younis charged him and looked for a rank slog over midwicket, but the ball snuck between bat and pad, turned in, struck him on his thigh and went on to hit the stumps

 

[Seen Sheen]

Younus sorry but that was a give-up sort of shot.

 

[Sam18696]

This loss doesn't hurt too much now... Atleast we are playing fair and square

 

[saeed-sohail]

Yeah Younis Khan also dismissed due to tampering.

Who is saying that? You seem to hurt over tampering issue.


Sharamnaak signature.

 

[Indiafan]

Yeah Younis Khan also dismissed due to tampering.

trying to run away from defeat ?

That's not the point, though. No 1 team in the world don't need to resort to such tactics. Can you honestly tell me that there wouldn't have been a huge outcry if it was Pakistan getting caught doing this?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Younus sorry but that was a give-up sort of shot.

He plays this shot against spinners in tests even. Just missed it.

If that were the case, then when 3 cricketers got caught for match fixing in the recent past during ongoing match, did you see the oppostion taking a stance and walking away....I am just saying

If you cant remember here is a clue to refresh your memory

 

[saeedhk]

Massive massive defeat on the cards.

 

[saeedhk]

Tahir is made to look like Warne.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

lol at commentators

 

[Ims1]

well,what makes you there will not be a huge outcry in this case ?
The concept of running away from the field is pretty stupid imo .

 

[saeedhk]

Tahir averaging 42.

 

[saeedhk]

Good over for Pakistan

 

[Indiafan]

Pretty sure those running away comments were jokes

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah hasnt picked tahir's googly

 

[Poison]

Innings loss coming, I just hope we can crawl to 300 or so to minimize the scale of defeat.

 

[Ims1]

Waqar really smooth when being pushed by fellow commie on tampering

still 17 overs left in the day .

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

The SA commentator is taking it to far now, trying to defelect attention

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah has really been troubled by Tahir's googly, he hasnt picked even one

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Misbah has really been troubled by Tahir's googly, he hasnt picked even one

in general he has had issues with the ball drifting in. Swann and Monty eventually figured him out that way, so did jadeja

 

[Ims1]

predict innings runs . i think 206 .

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

nice shot by shafiq

 

[Seen Sheen]

He plays this shot against spinners in tests even. Just missed it.


Sharamnaak signature.

welcome sir.
He does but the way he swung his bat showed he was desperate out there. When he dances down occasionally, he tries to go straight, very rarely does he swing over mid wicket especially against left arm spinner/leg spinner. Even though it was the wrong one but clearly he didn't pick it and went through with the swing.

Was an anomalous stroke. Had high hopes that we would see a YK special.

He charged early, saw it was a wrongun late and tried to adjust .. looked bad because the ball turned but otherwise just an unwise choice of shot.

i am told that lighting system in this stadium is the best in the world .
Vernon on .....

[ammar93]

I know shafiq hasn't been doing too well these days but he plays some lovely shots sometimes.

 

[WebGuru]

99 again

 

[Asif321]

shafiq's shots are just classic

 

[WebGuru]

and here comes 3 figures! 101

 

[hur rizvi]

100 up for Pakistan what a great batting performance

11 overs left today .

Exactly. He was not to the pitch and could've halted his flourish but him going through with it made it look worse.

Was a pathetic shot, never expected that from a player of Younis's class

 

[mithun_minhas]

Philander reminds me of Praveen Kumar.

 

[hur rizvi]

Miss stumping by AB, Akmal effect

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

bloody hell stay in your crease

 

[hur rizvi]

Philander reminds me of Praveen Kumar.

Very similar but PK was even slower than Philander

 

[Seen Sheen]

Philander reminds me of Praveen Kumar.

Does Philander also behave oddly in his day to day life?

 

[Sam18696]

Ball has stop swinging..

 

[Sunny786]

KP and Waqar back. Lets see what else he has to say...calling it a little bit of controversy

 

[Statistics375]

Some majestic shots from Shafiq, all of them have oozed class.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

AB just saved Asad's career


bar that brain explosion he has played well so far

 

[Rizwan25]

Asad is such a jackass. He doesnt value his wicket. Threw it away in first inning and trying the same in second.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

jackass is the wrong word, what bothers me more is that the entire justification of Asad Shafiq is that he doesnt do that. Just say it as it and hope he improves

 

[Seen Sheen]

Haha, I knew Misbah would go for it!Trademark swing late in the day.!!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Misbah unleashes his epic shot. Tahir bamboozled. )
