Pakistan vs South Africa |1st Test | 15/11/2010 | Day 4 : Session 2

[AZ]

RSA will be looking to bat themselves to an unbeatable position, don't expect a declaration.

 

[cricfan4ever]

declare already!!!

 

[khanz141]

Come on boys, keep the S. Africans to below 550 or we wont be able to chase it

 

[Strike!]

Too much to hope for a draw?

 

[WNC]

I heard there were a couple of dropped catches? Who was dropped, by whom and when? Wouldn't surprise me if Akmal darmiyana was one of them

 

[WNC]

Come on boys, keep the S. Africans to below 550 or we wont be able to chase it

) Love the sarcasm.

The game was lost as soon as the lead crossed 200....now it's just about playing for averages :umarakmal

 

[ZAK]

243/2

 

[ZAK]

250/2

 

[iZeeshan]

Considering we have Taufeeq, Misbah, Azhar Ali, and Younus

who knows, maybe we'll be able to bat out 4.3 sessions

[ZAK]

252/2

 

[161]

Is there any purpose to bowling Gul like a donkey here ?

Do they want him injured for the second test ?

 

[mastermind_quad]

both batsman in nineties

 

[161]

Considering we have Taufeeq, Misbah, Azhar Ali, and Younus

who knows, maybe we'll be able to bat out 1.3 sessions

fixed

 

[farazaidi]

I think they'll look to bat after tea as well, still going about normal pace. No intent to up the ante

Or may be they are playing for their centuries

 

[mastermind_quad]

one on 98 and another on 99 ....woww

 

[ZAK]

100 for Amla. Well done Hashim.

 

[mastermind_quad]

100 for Amla ... kallis on 99*

 

[mastermind_quad]

kallis nervous 90s

 

[Sherlock]

What a great player, mind you Kallis isn't bad either.

 

[WNC]

100 for Kallis too.

265/2, it's been ages since I saw that on a Pakistani scorecard

 

[aqeelPK]

umar gul ko chahye misbah k mu pe 1 chapair maray aur wapis bahir aa jaye.

 

[ZAK]

100 for Kallis. Very well done Kallis.

 

[djaqib]

Well played amla and kallis

Wish we had someone like amla and kallis all we got is jokers like umar akmal he shud go join some circus

 

[mastermind_quad]

and here goes 100 for Kallis .........should declare now...

 

[WNC]

Waise any catches dropped in the innings?

 

[mastermind_quad]

3 more runs ...400 leads and then should declare...

 

[WNC]

Ah, the ever cheerful and supportive Rambo...

'It ain't as bad as it looks, it's worse'...yes Ramiz, we've been saying that about your hair for quite some time now...

 

[ZAK]

269/2

 

[farazaidi]

Lead goes over 400 .....

Still no signs of declaration whatsoever. I think we'll face 6-7 overs at max today or not even that

 

[farazaidi]

 

[Eht]

SA will declare when lead will be some where between 450 to 475

 

[dhump]

wake me up when they are done.

Kaha phas gaye hain hum.

 

[mastermind_quad]

lets declare saffers

 

[Random Aussie]

3 more runs ...400 leads and then should declare...

No, bat all day and give them 600+ to get.

Go for records when the opportunity is there

 

[Jo_Don]

5 more runs and Pakistan would have to break a world record to chase it down. I think 420-450 should be safe, while still allowing enough time to bowl Pakistan out.

 

[Acim]

No, bat all day and give them 600+ to get.

Go for records when the opportunity is there

Are you Kumble or Yousuf in disguise?

 

[djaqib]

Yah agree they should go for 600 lol no way pakistan will make 450 they cant even score 250 forget 400+ lets make some records saffers

 

[ZAK]

282/2

 

[James]

I would say give them 110 overs to bat out. Means the lead will be 450-500. Absolutely no chance that Pakistan could win the game from there, and hardly any chance that they could save it.

 

[ZAK]

286/2

 

[ZAK]

289/2

 

[mastermind_quad]

No, bat all day and give them 600+ to get.

Go for records when the opportunity is there

yep...for a record its better but they should have enough time to AO Pak maybe SA have full confidence to take 10 Pakistani wkts in 3 or 4 sessions ...NZ vs Ind is now a draw no hope there....WI playing really well....lets c

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

i guess we'll do better in the second test? :/

 

[mastermind_quad]

btw Pak 4th Inning batting over avg is 61 ...a pper's mentioned

 

[ZAK]

293/2

 

[farazaidi]

btw Pak 4th Inning batting over avg is 61 ...a pper's mentioned

what? that is not possible even if we consider test matches of 2010 only

 

[duostyle]

Rehman and Ajmal

I think Smith is teasing the bowlers and waiting for them to take one of the centurions out to declare...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yaar, this is beyond boring.

 

[ZAK]

299/2

 

[farazaidi]

take the new ball please!!!!!!!!

 

[jattafridi]

take the new ball please!!!!!!!!

no

 

[mastermind_quad]

what? that is not possible even if we consider test matches of 2010 only

some pper's mentioned in this or 1st session thread .....btw what u think its > or < then 61???

 

[Eht]

hahahhahaha
dropped,,,,,,,,,

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

IF we win this tomorrow the team would have a really good eid

 

[Dr_Bassim]

and that drop sums it up.

Great game.

 

[ZAK]

Dropped

 

[WNC]

) Gul drops Kallis

epic reaction by the man in the crowd...

 

[Eht]

lolz at that man in the crowd

 

[WNC]

Forgive him fellas, he's still suffering from cramps

 

[mastermind_quad]

he must be tired.

 

[WNC]

Yk's the vice captain? ) The world is round indeed

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

lolz at that man in the crowd

what did he do??

 

[duostyle]

Younis is acting captain at the moment...

Rejoice YK fans!

 

[WNC]

what did he do??

Hands on hip, exasperated look

 

[Eht]

Forgive him fellas, he's still suffering from cramps

for obvious reasons !!!

 

[WNC]

Younis is acting captain at the moment...

Rejoice YK fans!

Eid mubarak ho YK fans ko

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

Hands on hip, exasperated look

haha thanks for that

 

[duostyle]

Kallis having fun now...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Tagret: 451

 

[farazaidi]

IF we win this tomorrow the team would have a really good eid

lol ... that is out of question. Lead is already 440+ and we will probably have a target around 500 with little over 3 sessions. No team in the world can chase that.

Its only a matter of survival now!

 

[WNC]

lead 450, declare kar do Allah ke naam pe....

And they've declared FINALLY

 

[Acim]

IF we win this tomorrow the team would have a really good eid

even if we draw this, the team will have a really good eide. There is no chance of winning this one.

Hopefully it will be a draw Insha Allah.

 

[hashbb]

The only way we can save this game is let Kallis get close to his double hundred before tea, like 40-50 runs short, then make him get it till stumps, then try to bat out all sessions tommrow, assign like each pair an hour or two each, like Hafeez and Umar, they need to bat two hours, YK and Azhar 3+, Misbah Umar 7 mins, Adnarn etc...

 

[jattafridi]

Declare

 

[farazaidi]

centuries for both ...... Ajmal and Rehman

 

[jattafridi]

Tagret: 451

Easy target

 

[Seen Sheen]

Minimum overs remaining = 130..

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

lol ... that is out of question. Lead is already 440+ and we will probably have a target around 500 with little over 3 sessions. No team in the world can chase that.

Its only a matter of survival now!

I know...

 

[Amoeba]

Time to move on guys. Nothing to see here. Any resemblance that Pakistan may have to a cricket a team is purely coincedental.

Think we will lose by at least 300 runs with Umar hitting a streaky 42, thereby following the lead of the older idiot in the family of 3 idiots and saving his skin.
