Pakistan v South Africa | Second Test | Abu Dhabi | Day 2 | 21-Nov-2010

[hur rizvi]

LAst over before Lunch

 

[cricfan4ever]

Rehman may not look like an attacking spinner, but he has kept it tight...should've had ABCD yesterday as well...

 

[NJamal]

386/7 and its lunch time.

 

[spoiled]

even if they all get out the runs have been scored specially considering the batting of pakistan

 

[ZAK]

Lunch

386/7.

 

[spoiled]

please give me some good cricket pakistan!

 

[cricfan4ever]

386/7 at Lunch...

SA's session by miles though we kept things tight...

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Any run over 380 reduces our chances exponentially

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah should give ball to Gul instead of Rehman

 

[mastermind_quad]

3 wkt left ...430+ will be bonus for SA...wkt needed here

 

[Noork85]

Lol bunny ears for harris courtesy amla

 

[cricfan4ever]

things looking pretty dull out there...SA cruising...

those horrible umpiring decisions are really making me cringe!!!!!!!!!

 

[Noork85]

Any run over 380 reduces our chances exponentially

Any run over 280 reduces our chances exponentially

 

[MrPakistan786]

Batsmen are still looking comfortable. 450 is the tops

 

[cricfan4ever]

edged and AGAIN FALLS SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cricfan4ever]

Any run over 280 reduces our chances exponentially

indeed...

 

[sam]

Cricinfo sympathizing with Sami:

Mohammad Sami to Steyn, no run, is surprised by the bouncer, well targeted too, at the body, he hung out his bat at it, but given Sami's wretched luck, it fell just short of the diving gully fielder

 

[Noork85]

400 coming up

 

[imshally81]

2 back to back boundries

 

[cricfan4ever]

great decision to bowl first

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NJamal]

405/7

 

[*sallu*]

400 up

 

[Theo_14]

Pakistan need a wicket here!!

 

[hur rizvi]

I cant understand this negative approach by misbah

 

[Noork85]

great decision to bowl first

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping for the draw

 

[mastermind_quad]

400 up for SA...

 

[cricfan4ever]

a victory is effectively out of the equation now for Pakistan...

what a boring match...great decision to bowl first...400 up for SA

 

[imshally81]

450 is on

 

[mastermind_quad]

7 down .and he is looking defensive IMO..

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

imshally are you a guy or a girl...your nick name sounds like you're one of the fair ones...

 

[Dare2Dream]

Stupid captaincy not to give Tanvir or Gul a go at the new batsman after lunch instead of AR, very stupid!

 

[hur rizvi]

Enuff of sami and Rehman both are really crap ....

 

[mastermind_quad]

Steyn batting well...

 

[Dare2Dream]

Stupid captaincy not to give Tanvir or Gul a go at the new batsman after lunch instead of AR, very stupid!

 

[cricfan4ever]

when the opposition scores 400+ the game is essentially over for Pakistan considering our batting frailties whereas we recently saw Aus-India score 450+ and still produce a result...

not so much with us...

 

[imshally81]

imshally are you a guy or a girl...your nick name sounds like you're one of the fair ones...

haha
i am guy

 

[hur rizvi]

Gul plz bowl some yorkers ???



WOW keppler says AB richly deserves 200?He didnt even deserved a fifty

 

[*sallu*]

Gulldozer on

 

[imshally81]

bad fielding by Uncle Misbah....

 

[*sallu*]

Commentators also bored from this game

Discussing India squad

 

[cricfan4ever]

wtfffffffffff was misbah doing???

 

[imshally81]

I m sorry buddy.....
but itz a fact

 

[sanakazmi]

Mis-field by Mis-bah. Steyn could've been run-out.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

I m sorry buddy.....
but itz a fact

hahaha just joking man...you're awesome :

 

[imshally81]

hahaha just joking man...you're awesome :

Thanx

 

[sanakazmi]

Steyn interrupts Gul's run-up, Gul doesn't like it and has a few words, Steyn points him back to his mark with his bat, next ball: straight-drives him for 4.

 

[Noork85]

Whats with guls cranky mood

 

[hur rizvi]

Take This Rehman out of the attack

 

[cricfan4ever]

just hoping SA declares at 450...end this misery...it's just frustrating to watch lifeless bowling...it really is...

 

[hur rizvi]

just hoping SA declares at 450...end this misery...it's just frustrating to watch lifeless bowling...it really is...

I think they would declare at 550 if they dont get all out before that

 

[Noork85]

R they abt to declate? Or does abcd want a double ton?

 

[Theo_14]

Frustating to watch!!

 

[cricfan4ever]

such crap mindset from our players...this is just deflating attitude...

why can't we play like winners for once??? what have we got to lose? why do we play with such a cowardice approach???

why????????

 

[*sallu*]

Beaten twice in a row

 

[imshally81]

Link please

TenSports@TV from my cable operator

 

[cricfan4ever]

not being able to get rid of Steyn tells the story...

 

[Noork85]

Sa will drop to number 3 if they lose? On icc rankings?

 

[IAJ]

What's up with this shortpitched bowling by Gul? what is he trying to achieve?

 

[*sallu*]

Steyn will return the favour nicely to Gul but what he doesn't know is Gul is the best puller of the ball in the world currently

 

[cricfan4ever]

there's just no intent being shown to take the remaining 3 wickets...poor cricket from Pakistan...

 

[*sallu*]

AB playing selfishly

 

[cricfan4ever]

Sa will drop to number 3 if they lose? On icc rankings?

yes...but that's highly unlikely to happen now...the best we can do is draw the match and deny SA of a series win...

 

[IAJ]

Budhe Haider kou jawan houne ka bukhar hua hai

 

[Dare2Dream]

very dumb captaincy to continue with AR, especially with Tanvir taking 5 wickets

 

[hur rizvi]

Enuff of Rehman ... HAfeez is better than him

 

[IAJ]

No plan whatsoever! They are trying to hurt Steyn's arms it seems! What a

 

[hur rizvi]

REhman u deserved that

 

[hur rizvi]

Rehman is the Most PAthetic spinner


Steyn is finding no problems at all

 

[cricfan4ever]

this match is not going anywhere...why do we have to suffer through such lifeless tracks...

 

[hur rizvi]

this match is not going anywhere...why do we have to suffer through such lifeless tracks...

It is rather lifeless captaincy by Misbah ...

Pitch has been decent

 

[cricfan4ever]

Steyn is smacking boundaries...just indicates how crappy our bowling is...

 

[IAJ]

And now Gul gets what he deserves. What the hell is point with short bowling on this wicket?

 

[NJamal]

What a MAZEDAAR match

 

[hur rizvi]

Get a short Point in for steyn

 

[oracleg]

can't we find one spinner in the entire country who can spin and flight the bloody ball?

what a sad state of affairs when you have the saffers producing better spinners than your own.

 

[FastBowler]

Great bouncer by Gul to de Villiers

 

[hur rizvi]

Enuff of this short stuff Gul ...

 

[cricfan4ever]

man De Villiers just hit your Damn Double ton already and declare already...it's getting boring...

 

[hashbb]

can't we find one spinner in the entire country who can spin and flight the bloody ball?

Danish does, but the problem is he goes for runs as well

 

[hur rizvi]

Take the ball away from AR ... WAT a pathetic spinner
