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

[Sledger]

323/8, time for Shafiq to farm strike.

 

[WebGuru]

I just realized Zulfi right hand is injured so let's see if he can hold the bat

 

[saiyan0312]

Junaid just defend.

 

[London_Lahori]

Someone stick with asad.

If only Misbah hadn't played that shot, we would still be 4 wickets down and well on our way to saving the match and the series

 

[JibranAnsari]

Last over probably.

 

[saiyan0312]

I just realized Zulfi right hand if injured so let's see if he can hold the bat

I dont think he can bat and we will be forced to declare if another wicket falls.

 

[Haroon786]

13 overs left.

 

[London_Lahori]

Just bat Babar!!

You might never play another test match in your life

 

[Ims1]

I just realized Zulfi right hand is injured so let's see if he can hold the bat

does not make sense for him to bat in this situation . this is not day 5 .

 

[hur rizvi]

I think Tahir doesnt have chance of 10 wkts, cuz babar wont bat

on cricinfo "Matthew: "Time for Shafiq to have a blast! Nothing to lose now, he might as well just see how many he can score in a short space of time." "

agree or disagree

 

[hur rizvi]

Asad's Inability to rotate strike

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad should play some shots now. Junaid can get our any moment.

 

[saiyan0312]

No single... juni to face six balls.

agree or disagree

Disagree, he should look to take this game to day 5.

agree .provide some entertainment .

 

[mosh101]

Shafiq should blast away now

 

[Haroon786]

12 overs left

 

[Sledger]

Junaid slashes away for a single.

 

[mosh101]

Juni off the mark

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fireworks please.

 

[hur rizvi]

on cricinfo "Matthew: "Time for Shafiq to have a blast! Nothing to lose now, he might as well just see how many he can score in a short space of time." "

agree or disagree

Agree, Junaid is one of the worst tailenders in Pakistans history there is no way he'll survive so it is best for shafiq to play some shots

 

[Haroon786]

Dingle.

 

[saiyan0312]

Single but why is he thrashing anything.

 

[Haroon786]

6s now expected.

 

[Haroon786]

Shafiq takes single.

 

[saiyan0312]

junai to survive the over now.

 

[Ims1]

asad wants to remain not out & bolster his average .

 

[hur rizvi]

Shafiq has no sense how to bat with the tail

 

[saiyan0312]

asad should have refused that single or does he think junaid is like razzaq,mehmood.

 

[Sledger]

Why is Asad trusting Junaid?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haha asad chose to leave the delivery

 

[hur rizvi]

Last over of the match coming up, i dont back Junaid to survive this over

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

How do you guys rate Imran Tahir?

 

[saiyan0312]

Three balls cmon junaid.

 

[Haroon786]

11 overs left.

 

[Sledger]

Junaid slogging lol.

 

[hur rizvi]

As a no. 6 batsman shafiq is woeful at batting with the tail

 

[saiyan0312]

Seriously we need to have juanid take some batting lessons.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad should bat at number 3. He does not have game to bat with the tail.

 

[Ims1]

How do you guys rate Imran Tahir?

average .

 

[saiyan0312]

WHY IS HE SLOGGING. Junaid just defend thats the tails job... nobody expects you to have a SR of 150

 

[JibranAnsari]

Seriously we need to have juanid take some batting lessons.

And some bowling lessons also.

 

[Haroon786]

10 overs left.

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq gone, JP strikes again.

 

[Sledger]

SA win.

 

[hur rizvi]

Game over

series drawn

 

[saiyan0312]

on info "Only twice before have SA spinners taken ten or more wickets in a Test since their return to international cricket, the last instance was against Bangladesh at Chittangong in 2003 "

We really make history.

 

[Ims1]

WHY IS HE SLOGGING. Junaid just defend thats the tails job... nobody expects you to have a SR of 150

let him have fun

 

[JibranAnsari]

Humiliating defeat
A proper slap.on pakistani teams face.

 

[Boi]

The boss calls the match off.

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq gone... JP makes sure tahir wont get a tenfer.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

1-1

 

[hur rizvi]

How do you guys rate Imran Tahir?

Very average, Apart from misbah's wicket in 1st innings all wickets were gifted to him

 

[saiyan0312]

We lost with a declaration like a boss... You dont defeat us we defeat ourselves.

 

[Robbie]

Match over.. Is it?

 

[Sledger]

Big loss but Pakistan fought well in the second innings. Batting needs a lot of work as usual.

 

[saiyan0312]

Well we took it this far after the 99 AO horror show.

 

[hur rizvi]

How do you guys rate Imran Tahir?

Very average, Apart from misbah's wicket in 1st innings all wickets were gifted to him

SA will learn a stern lesson if they play him against India

 

[easy_like_sunday]

test was over in the first day. Atleast we got some positves like shafiq ton and the fact the south africans got caught tampering.

 

[saiyan0312]

Some eyebrows to be raised on batting... If we have a lead of 250 then we could have done alot. Some dismissals even in this innings will be questioned.

 

[PTI tsunami]

I hate imran Tahir

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I don't think like Tahir's celebrations, OTT. Needs to be fined

 

[Munna]

Did tahir just take a lone victory lap?

 

[Hitman]

I hate imran Tahir

Why?

 

[WebGuru]

I don't think like Tahir's celebrations, OTT. Needs to be fined

For those kisses he should be fined at least 99% of his match fee. I mean a kiss after every wicket

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Fawad Alam's century, showing highlights. He needs to be back in the team

 

[WebGuru]

Did tahir just take a lone victory lap?

I noticed that too

 

[Sunny786]

Did tahir just take a lone victory lap?

yeah

 

[WebGuru]

Why?

A flying kiss for his wife after every wicket and thn the lone victory lap and thn those OTT celebrations

 

[Wattoo]

Someone stick with asad.

If only Misbah hadn't played that shot, we would still be 4 wickets down and well on our way to saving the match and the series

If our openers had scored double hundred in both innings, we would have won this match.

 

[Munna]

Please don't mind him, Tahir just loves his wickets as much as his wife

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

In the odi series I want to hit Tahir for sixes, and after every six he should blow a kiss and mock Tahir

 

[PennOne]

Boy you guys hate the fact that a Pakistani chose to play for SA dont you ?

And to add salt he took right wickets against pakistan in a match
