Pakistan v South Africa l 2nd Test | Dubai | 26/10/13 | Day 4

[Aman]

Pakistan to resume 134/4 needing to bat 180 overs to save the match. SA just need 6 more wickets to level the series 1-1.

 

[MenInG]

Really no realistic way for Pakistan to make a match of this - the end in my view will be very swift.

 

[Itachi]

can pakistan make it to day 5?

 

[hasan shah]

its difficult.

 

[MenInG]

Babar will not bat as per Waqar Younis so Pak 5 down effectively

 

[hasan shah]

Y

 

[Haroon786]

Nothing is impossible, but this is very improbable-99% in SA favour.

 

[Kianig89]

sit an hour before said i was axed from the team as i refuse to make the ball for reverse swing

 

[Sir john]

inning defeat most possible outcome

 

[hur rizvi]

Ball reversing again

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

News about the ball tempering issue about to be discussed

 

[hur rizvi]

This just in from the ICC: "South Africa's Faf du Plessis has been fined 50 per cent of his match fees after breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the third day's play in the second and final cricket Test against Pakistan in Dubai.


No ban I'm perplexed

 

[aukhan]

:4

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Faf fined 50% of his match fees for breaching the ICC code of conduct

 

[hur rizvi]

and no action against Philander...

 

[aukhan]

Good shot for 3.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

No ban for Faf? Just wow. If it was one of our lads, they would have been banned for 3 ODI matches... guess being a "white" country has its benefits. I am not saying this in any racist way, but usually the Asians (Sl,Ind,and Pak) would have been scrutinized heavily.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two need to take it session by session here. Boost there averages up.

 

[adarsh_bang]

^^agree with that ...white dude get away with a lot of wrongdoings ..shame

 

[hur rizvi]

Ridiculous double standards by ICC FaF and Philander should have been banned, FaF fined 50% of match fees and Philander doesnt even get that....

LOL at David boon saying it wasnt deliberate

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should push the bowling average of Philander up here

 

[Premier Cricketer]

I have come to terms with us losing this match, but we need to go down fighting. Meaning, take on the loose balls, and maybe just maybe these last wickets can get us somewhat of a lead, it will be less shameful. Blocking all day is not going to help, we are not going to able to block our way out of this match.

 

[hur rizvi]

These two need to take it session by session here. Boost there averages up.

These two need to play positively, game is already lost Tuk-Tuk is of no use

 

[aukhan]

4 byes by steyn.

 

[adarsh_bang]

why won't babar bat ?? he was the top scorer in the first innings !

 

[aukhan]

Look like ball is reversing.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

If Shafiq doesn't score in this innings, there is a good chance he will be dropped.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

why won't babar bat ?? he was the top scorer in the first innings !

Hand injured.

 

[hur rizvi]

why won't babar bat ?? he was the top scorer in the first innings !

He has stiches on his right hand

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

In relation to Waqar's comment about how incidents of such were dealt with more sever punishments such as a ban (Afridi's example) and Haysmen responds it wasn't his first offence, lol

 

[aukhan]

ball is reversing now.

 

[hur rizvi]

Ball is reversing, i can sense a wicket coming soon

 

[aukhan]

If Shafiq doesn't score in this innings, there is a good chance he will be dropped.

for whom? umer amin

 

[Justcrazy]

86 more overs in the day

 

[hur rizvi]

In relation to Waqar's comment about how incidents of such were dealt with more sever punishments such as a ban (Afridi's example) and Haysmen responds it wasn't his first offence, lol

Dont think Afridi has been banned for ball tempering prior to that, though he did a bit of pitch tempering

[Premier Cricketer]

Not Out.

 

[aukhan]

[hur rizvi]

Asad saved, Our 1st right review in the match

 

[aukhan]

That was close.

 

[amoni]

A PAKISTANI REVIEW OVERTURNED I'll be dammed

 

[dirk diggler]

saved by the skin of his teeth!

 

[amoni]

Also, Zulfiqar Babar got 6 stitches in his hand and won't be able to bat..when did this happen?

 

[aukhan]

Ball kept low.

 

[Justcrazy]

SB: "Du Plessis pleaded guilty. Yet Boon is satisfied its not part of a deliberate attempt to tamper the ball.. I am not sure how those two co-exist in the same report?"

 

[amoni]

Missing - Green
Impact - Yellow
Pitching - Red


TRAFFIC LIGHT ^

 

[aukhan]

Uneven bounce will be difficult to manage.

 

[Sam18696]

Asad lucky 2nd time..

 

[Kianig89]

why the hell umpire gave it out in first place that looked not out

 

[aukhan]

Come on survive the first 15 overs.

 

[amoni]

SB: "Du Plessis pleaded guilty. Yet Boon is satisfied its not part of a deliberate attempt to tamper the ball.. I am not sure how those two co-exist in the same report?"

beats me.

and how did Philander not get penalized?

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad needs to get a big score here , so that he cements his place.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

why the hell umpire gave it out in first place that looked not out

That looked out buddy. Ball was going out not sliding in, but hawkeye suggests otherwise.

 

[hur rizvi]

Waqar how was that coming towards the stump

It was always going down

 

[aukhan]

How many reviews are left??

 

[hur rizvi]

That looked out buddy. Ball was going out not sliding in, but hawkeye suggests otherwise.

That's a rubbish comment from Waqar, ball didnt swing away

 

[Justcrazy]

Philander is such a mean bowler , such good length he bowls.

 

[aukhan]

Our commentators are pathetic.

 

[hur rizvi]

how many reviews are left??

the marking on fafs trouser leg suggest that he'd done a lot of 'shining' prior to the magic bullet

 

[hur rizvi]

Ball is moving all over the place

 

[Kianig89]

Our commentators are pathetic.
