Pakistan vs South Africa | 1st Test | Karachi | 01/10/07 | Day 5

[Afridi_Fan]

Just above one hour to go for the final day,and what a day we have in prospect,either team can win.

For Pakistan YK,Misbah,Malik and Akmal hold the key if 3 of the 4 fire Pakistan have a decent chance but its a day 5 pitch so anything can happen

 

[karachiite]

this will be a test of Malik's promise of being an aggressive captain. In my opinion, we have as much, if not more, chance of winning this game as we do of drawing. Will we go for it though?

edit: comon guys its 5 in the morning

[Afridi_Fan]

He simply means will we go for victory

 

[Hash]

He simply means will we go for victory

Do they say that we and they are they but also we?

 

[Hash]

Younis needs to bat at least until tea

It would be great if Asif can survive the first hour

 

[the true passionist]

I think he thinks that would think that they are we but we are not they however they are all we.

i hope so too and younis even longer - lol..but will he just be holding up one end and slowing down the run rate..if he does stay out there??

Well I wont mind as long as Asif and YK partnership remains there,they will frustrate Saffies,and 1st target (according to someone) is a draw and that will help

 

[Sheikh_Ji]

well it would be good if Asif can survive the first hour and score some runs along the way; even 20 odd runs would do. Frustrate the Saffies

[CricnPak]

asif is doing well to stick around...anything from him is a bonus

 

[Lightning]

[tauseefm]

whats wrong with this CBN again.. why aren't they showing the match

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 to Yk

well played

 

[CricnPak]

CAn yunus get his lucky number 13th century

 

[Saqib]

Well done Younis Khan !!!! BIG SHABAASH

Next target is 200 InshAllah!!!

 

[Bobaran]

Century for Younis!

158/3

266 runs to go! We can do this!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Younis gets a well-deserved century. His 13th in his test career and his 1st against South Africa

Asif doing really well frustrating the Saffers

 

[Genghis]

Well done champ ... good knock under pressure and in good time!!!

 

[Hash]

Younis gets his 100

superb innings. Half way there Younis bhai!

159 for 3 (265 runs to win)

Younis not out 102
Asif not out 5

 

[Saqib]

This century is one of his best, it has come so quickly 107 balls!!

 

[Islamabadi]

100 up for younis...job is not over yet younis bahi

 

[Lightning]

Super knock Younis boy!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

263 to win

 

[Usman Chadda]

Harris still not getting spin. Not even one ball has turned enough to trouble the batsmen

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dont play on the back foot YK,the bounce is uneven

 

[Saqib]

If we have a good session, we have big chance to win this game we just need to keep our wickets intact. Harris isn't getting that much of a turn on day 5 pitch.

 

[CricnPak]

commentators are putting Pakistan win out of the question

 

[Hash]

161 for 3

263 runs to win

 

[Oxy]

Nel gets Asif - well played Asif!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Asif Gone

Well done Nel for wicket number 100

 

[Daoud]

Well done Younis. Im sure he does realise though that the job is nowhere near done yet though

 

[Hash]

These two have put on 27 runs in 8.3 overs

 

[Oxy]

161-4

 

[CricnPak]

asif gone

 

[Saqib]

commentators are putting Pakistan win out of the question

Yeah I find it very strange

 

[Usman Chadda]

Asif goes, stunned by a bouncer. Couldnt get the gloves out of the way and South Africa finally have their wicket

Misbah in next I presume

 

[Lightning]

Asif falls to a Nel bouncer.

 

[kablooee87]

bah I was hoping asif would last a little longer.

 

[Lightning]

I think Malik should come in next, being cap and all.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Misbah walks in

 

[Hash]

ahhhhh

unlucky Asif

You lasted 20 mins and 26 balls.

 

[Daoud]

Asif out. Not the worst thing that could happen though cause if he stayed for too long it would have reduced the possibility of a win

 

[Usman Chadda]

Misbah is the new batsman, if he falls early we are in trouble

thanks a lot saqib...really appreciate that

 

[Saqib]

another milestone in this match, 100 Test wickets for Nel

so many records are broken in this test match, maybe we can win this match

 

[Genghis]

Now the real game starts ... Misbah has gotta step up today!!!

 

[CricnPak]

misbah looks pretty nervous and hesitant

 

[Bobaran]

Misbah is the batsman in, we need atleast 100 run partnership here.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another over ticks by

 

[Saqib]

We have to play session to session keep our wickets intact don't play to many shots or don't be to defensive that often leads to pressure. Big partnership is now needed.

 

[iafzal]

Misbah's real test is here. 20/20 was pre-test.
I think a 50 will be a passing grade and a 100 will get him an A in my books.

 

[tauseefm]

omg, it looks like CBN is showing this match from any online stream.. ) ) its really really bad quality

 

[Afridi_Fan]

another milestone in this match, 100 Test wickets for Nel

so many records are broken in this test match, maybe we can win this match

Good spirits,I am with you mate

 

[Oxy]

YK sweeps for 4 - went off the back of his bat!

166-4

258 to win

 

[Hash]

4 from Younis

258 to win

 

[CricnPak]

decent crowd in, one half of the NSK is half full so we're 25% which is decent for our recent standards

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another over goes

 

[Lightning]

258 to go. Looong way. Younus playing well. This partnership is crucial. I would love for Misbah to play a blinder.

 

[Saqib]

decent crowd in, one half of the NSK is half full so we're 25% which is decent for our recent standards

It's friday today I think the crowd will fill in today after the jumma prayer. We just need that support from our crowd.

 

[Oxy]

Another over goes

Cam down sir...long long long way to go
