Pakistan vs South Africa |1st Test | 16/11/2010 | Day 5 : Session 2

[Amjid Javed]

YK got 130 in draw test in lahore in 2007 so can he match that?

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/299005.html

Onto 80* at moment!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Steyn sey der gaya.

 

[Amjid Javed]

nah,Obeid bhai,Draw will be a victory for us..

A draw means series is level and we can change some of our bowlers and still maybe have a chance of winning the series!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

He could score 150 if he bats till the end

Like bringing back aamir and asif

 

[Obeid]

Just looking at Steyn kicking the water bottle, I think thats a level 2 violation. Water got onto the field, which is damaging the field

 

[Seen Sheen]

No, a draw is a draw and a win is a win.

A draw doesn't send us 1-0 up in the series

and what if we go 0-1 down...Survivng 133 overs on a day4/5 pitch is very difficult,let alone scoring runs on it..

Had we been 1 down by now then we night have tried to push for a victory BUT with only one batsman to follow,its simply not on..!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Solid defense.

 

[NJamal]

Maiden 240/3

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

in one of ODIs.. Ramiz were saying.. SL players names are tough to pronounce, Abdul Qadir was not worried about SL batsmen names because, he could not pronounce De Silva's name so well,.. Ramiz were saying De silva were pretty hard to pronounce.. (LOL) At that time his Co-commentator was Pawmi ,, He was Quietly laughing at it.. and cracked a joke at ramiz " Yea Ramiz, You are Right,, De Silva is pretty hard to pronounce.. " ) ) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another over survived.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/240 | 89 Overs | Younis 80* | Need 211 runs to win from 42 overs

Maiden!

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 240/3.

 

[*sallu*]

"Misbah ul Haq look like he edge it any minute" mmadakram (we so need a smiley for him)

 

[dhump]

are their monkeys in the ground ?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Spin is back.

 

[NJamal]

Harris into attack

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

trying to stay positive with his stroke making.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What the hell is Akram on?

 

[Blitz]

Required rate only 4.85, this can be done.

We would stuggle to match that run rate in an ODI for 40 overs......

...and you do know if it comes to the last 10, with 50 to get,they will just bowl wides and have 10 men on the leg stump? Its a test match

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another over negotiated. : yk

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/240 | 90 Overs | Younis 80* | Need 211 runs to win from 41 overs

Maiden!

There's no fielders outside the boundary

 

[oracleg]

41 overs to go. Need these two to bat another 25 overs at least

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

So, in Last 30overs, Pak scored 83 runs..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misbah takes a single.

Taaliyaan.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Misbah.

 

[Noork85]

Im glad to b watching this! They justified my hope today.

 

[Blitz]

There's no fielders outside the boundary

Thank Allah, that guy is not playing.

He would be in the dressing room saying that exact quote to everyone.

 

[dhump]

shooooot for none :-s LOL akram rocks

 

[Seen Sheen]

A draw means series is level and we can change some of our bowlers and still maybe have a chance of winning the series!

Exactly,that's what I am saying...We were down and out yesterday and were facing a daunting task of surviving 133 overs..

We'll still be in the series if we,some how,manage to draw this game and who knows, we may go on to win the second test and series as well.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Shot for none.

 

[*sallu*]

"well done mate" :moakram

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Steyn: 1
Misbah: 0

Not taking anything away from Steyn(he is one of my fav) but Misbah is really really bad at this.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

need 210 more runs to win..

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

chu hundred and forty one for three ...Akram

91.4
Harris to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, ladies and gentlemen, we may be onto something here. Misbah has done an action-replay, reaching across to a tossed up ball on off stump and launches it towards Abu Dhabi for four more

 

[Atif]

Warnig for Morkel running on the pitch..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Morkel warned?

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Great Body Language by

 

[Afridi_Fan]

at MM

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/251 | 93 Overs | Younis 81* | Need 200 runs to win from 39 overs

2 off the over!

 

[ElRaja]

if these two can bat another 20 odd overs around 3.5 to 4 an over, does anyone think umar akmal will come out with 120-130 left off 20 odd overs and play for a draw, with the batting to come after him that could be worrisome.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Khan having a bit of banter with Morkel...

'Its fun cricket,you know'...

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Its all about showing his Mental toughness to the Bowler..

 

[*sallu*]

This is what we need

Gotta love the man for his fire and passion

 

[ZAK]

251/3.
