Pakistan vs South Africa |1st Test | 16/11/2010 | Day 5 : Session 3

[AZ]

just 2 more hours lads, hang in there!

 

[Obeid]

Push on for VICTORY

 

[Obeid]

If we lose 2 wickets, go into a shell till the close of play.

But till then, attack attack attack because they'll bowl negative bowling if we get close to a win

 

[atif.raza]

if we need 100 odd runs after 15 overs then we should definetly play for the kill

 

[cricketpassion]

We can win this .use the head please

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan require another 167 runs with 174 balls remaining




:umarakmal

 

[Obeid]

Where's Afridi when you need him to tell the team to go for the win

 

[Amjid Javed]

29 overs of postive batting to gain a draw! no panicing or stupid collapses!

 

[atif.raza]

Pakistan require another 167 runs with 174 balls remaining




:umarakmal

they can just ball negative line and negate that difference

 

[Amjid Javed]

Where's Afridi when you need him to tell the team to go for the win

Afridi would probably slog 12 off 3 balls and then leave the team in **** as usual!

Thanks but no thanks!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan has a long tail starting with Umar Akmal.

So still some work for YK and misbah to do!

 

[Eht]

Brilliant pitch for a timeless test match, no mis-behaviour even on day 5

Thanks curator (Shame on you)

 

[imshally81]

Just draw the match

Thanks curator (Shame on you)

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

U.Akmal is such a liability.
I doubt anyone has faith in him.Its upto these two...no way can the rest of them do much.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Pakistan require another 167 runs with 174 balls remaining




:umarakmal

Not gonna win bro. Just too much to ask for in 30 overs of a test match .

 

[NJamal]

This is the last recognized pair of batsmen so they should go for a draw and make sure we dont loose any wickets till the end :umarakmal

 

[rarara01]

do you think Pakistan will go for it? which will force an open field and a negative line.....victory is quite hard here, but it would be exciting to see them give it to SA they have been putting pressure for two days now.

Shame ??????? why ?

 

[ScotRaz]

Where's Afridi when you need him to tell the team to go for the win

Oh God nooooooooo. Let it go :-D

 

[dhump]

I say these 2 should play positive and score when there are chances but no need to push for extra win here.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Why are people even depending on Akmal jr. is beyond me. The terrible form he is in right now, I would actually put Riaz ahead of Akmal, before he also hits bad form which, knowing Pakistani players, could be anytime now. Might as well milk it while we can.

terrible form? did he not make a 50 very recently?

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Pakistan should attack..

 

[z2_daredevil]

i think after tea pak will come with a very defensive mind , i dont think they will even be thinking abt a win !

 

[aqeelPK]

No need to push for the victory yet. These two should try to get the equation to 90 runs off 10 overs with 7 wkts in hand.Only then they should go for the kill.

 

[NJamal]

Boys are on the park

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

We'll win this one..c'mon Pakistan - get stuck into saffas!

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Good start by Misbah

 

[Seen Sheen]

[rarara01]

lets see what kind of Captain is Misbah uncle.

 

[Maula Jutt]

terrible form? did he not make a 50 very recently?

I wait for at least 3 good performances before officially labelling any player in-form again.

Our bad luck that the guy who hit form recently got injured so soon. I am afraid he also is done with his brief honeymoon with good form. :/

 

[Schickelgruber]

Can we win this guys?

 

[Seen Sheen]

How many catches are drop today ??

Three...

 

[jattafridi]

[Passion4Pakistan]

[ZAK]

Single to Misbah. 290/3.

 

[rarara01]

next 20 overs, play positive, but not suicidal.

 

[slix10]

First 10 overs: 3runs/over.
Next 10 overs: 5runs/over.
Next 10 overs: 8runs/over.

= enough runs

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

I think, We will have go for a win.. all depends on how 1st 30min goes for us.

 

[Obeid]

Maybe they're gonna try to turn it into a T20 in the last 20

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Botha used extra stomach of breath to appeal for that against Misbah..

 

[ScotRaz]

They just showed Bootha's appeal again in slow motion, wow this guy REALLY bends that arm and then some!

 

[ZAK]
