Pakistan vs South Africa | 2007 Series | 1st Test | Karachi | 01/10/07 | Day 3

[ebikhan]

faisal iqbal must learn how to bat from umer gul.

 

[saffer]

Um ...guys.....Is it a bit early to start asking where this thrashing I've been told south africa were going to recieve is ?

 

[J-Essence]

kiya pata usko roza lagg raha ho

heheh....abi tho kana kaa liya.....khair danish is a spinner and that means he can play spin better than anyone else in the team...right?

 

[ebikhan]

Aww khudiya .. zaheer abbas is back

 

[sohaibsyed]

lol zaheer is back...malik was little deperate to hit few shot. shouldve stayed more at the wicket. tailender at both side

 

[12thMan]

faisal iqbal must learn how to bat from umer gul.

Gul is still on 0. Zaheer Abbas comes back just because of that comment. He felt threatend

 

[Gunner786]

well it is in our interest if south africa make us foloow on
if we give them a target of say 250-300 then we stand a good chance but if they set us target it will take a heck of an effort to save this match

 

[ebikhan]

heheh....abi tho kana kaa liya.....khair danish is a spinner and that means he can play spin better than anyone else in the team...right?

With that logic, Gul should play pacers well. So we have nothing to worry then

 

[J-Essence]

Um ...guys.....Is it a bit early to start asking where this thrashing I've been told south africa were going to recieve is ?

yea wait....hopefully danish will do it...

 

[ebikhan]

well it is in our interest if south africa make us foloow on
if we give them a target of say 250-300 then we stand a good chance but if they set us target it will take a heck of an effort to save this match

Yes of course. But a target of 250-300 on this wicket is impossible. Anything above 125 will do.

 

[J-Essence]

With that logic, Gul should play pacers well. So we have nothing to worry then

yea danish can defend the spinner and gul can defend against the seamers and not take any runs...

 

[darkmoon459]

Aww khudiya .. zaheer abbas is back

Oh no he is back ,zaheer's voice so annoying it feels like finger nails on chalk board and man i feel sorry for whoever wake up next to him ,can you just imagine his voice first thing in the morning

 

[saffer]

yea wait....hopefully danish will do it...

There's a thrashing going on alright...but it's not South Africa recieving it .

To be honest , I don't think it's a big deal with we beat this Pakistan side , even in Pakistan .

 

[ebikhan]

"Actually I thought from that distance" .. kiya chand per baitha huwa hay zaheer abbas ??

 

[saffer]

With 50-100 more runs the game could still be interesting though .

 

[sohaibsyed]

the tharshing has begun!!

 

[TaZ]

With 50-100 more runs the game could still be interesting though .

if we could catch it would be interesting

 

[ebikhan]

There's a thrashing going on alright...but it's not South Africa recieving it .

To be honest , I don't think it's a big deal with we beat this Pakistan side , even in Pakistan .

We feel the same as well. We have no Yousaf, no Akthar. and then missed chances. So no big deal if SAF wins

 

[12thMan]

Gul with a chokkaaaaa

 

[J-Essence]

There's a thrashing going on alright...but it's not South Africa recieving it .

To be honest , I don't think it's a big deal with we beat this Pakistan side , even in Pakistan .

its never a big deal to beat pakistan....even bangladesh can beat them....but thats why we prepare dead pitches in pakistan....it saves us from loosing

 

[ebikhan]

Kamal Akmal .. is he some new player ?

 

[J-Essence]

Gul with a chokkaaaaa

who will make more runs....gul or danish?

 

[sohaibsyed]

[J-Essence]

[J-Essence]

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

[Shahid A]

[12thMan]

[J-Essence]

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

atleast Danish didn't do a sreesanth after hitting NEL

 

[ebikhan]

did you guys knew Danish Kaneria is a tail-ender. I didnt know that. Zaheer abbas just shared this secret information. Thanks Zaheer, the legend.

 

[Kashif]

Zaheer Abbass : One "tip" (Urdu for bounce) and into the captain's hands.


Zaheer is the new Waqar

 

[ebikhan]

nice straight bat from Gul.

 

[12thMan]

Pak 254-8 after 85 overs - trail by 196 runs

[sohaibsyed]

[J-Essence]

Zaheer Abbass : One "tip" (Urdu for bounce) and into the captain's hands.


Zaheer is the new Waqar

Waqar will be happy to hear that fans have zaheer to pick on now....famous zaheer line "i want to say" wat else

 

[ebikhan]

was it zaheer asking kids to clap

 

[ebikhan]

Waqar will be happy to hear that fans have zaheer to pick on now....famous zaheer line "i want to say" wat else

i must say .. i must say, that is what zaheer repeats again and again.

 

[12thMan]

Gul is on the front foot. played it very comfortably. has no problem faced Andrew - Zaheer

 

[ebikhan]

hahahah ... hahah ...

"Gul just touched the bat and thats four" - Zaheer.

 

[nosferatu372]

good shot b gul. he just touched the bat and the ball was four. for Gul i must say this was his pet shot.

Zaheer abbas

 

[KA$H]

pitch looks to have flatened out

 

[iafzal]

ball was so hard that when he touched the bat it was gone, i must say for Gul it is his pet shot, Legend ZA

 

[KA$H]

good shot b gul. he just touched the bat and the ball was four. for Gul i must say this was his pet shot.

Zaheer abbas

LOL - you'vegot to be making that up

 

[ebikhan]

Shaun Pollock has come on field because he can't have this torture of listening Zaheer Abbas commentary.

 

[J-Essence]

Zaheer Abbas ko bohot zabardast roza laga hai....pani daioo yaar zaheer chacha ko

 

[iafzal]

man this umpire is blind

 

[ebikhan]

Bay-mani nikaal gaye ...

 

[Toony™®]

I must say Danish's slogging has improved..maybe he should be considered more for ODIs.

 

[12thMan]

played forward comfortable. just play forward and you will have no trouble.
(next ball)
....oh yes he touched the bat and was given not out
(next ball Gul is out)
Gul should have walked

Pak 259/9 (87 overs)

 

[nosferatu372]

we just play people to make them look like stars. Amla scores against us. Pathan takes a hat-rick and now Harris.

Also just to remind people, Symonds scored his first century against us in the world cup.

Come play with us and become a star. this should be pcb's slogan

 

[Toony™®]

oh well benson could breathe a sigh of relief!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

ZA saying that GUL should have walked...haha...like you use to walk after your own umpires didn't give you LBW even the plumbest of times...dumbo

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

ZA 'boucher you have done very well for us...and for your country'...haha WHAT

 

[KA$H]

wow - boucher now has the most dismissals for a wktkeeper!

 

[J-Essence]

i must say you have done very well

who says that?

 

[Toony™®]

pakistan should aim for a negative line of bowling..slow down the run rate.

 

[Indiafan]

Harris gets a 5 wicket haul, shows the kind of wicket this is and its only the 3rd day too!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

ZA over and over again...i like SA bowlers attitude

 

[badxhah]

All Hail Paul "warne "

 

[nosferatu372]

not saying that Symonds is not a world class player, we just like to be the ones to propel them on their way

 

[ebikhan]

There are so many others. Most SAF players have highest score against us. We made Tuffey and C Martin world beaters.

 

[shan2026]

265/9

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

joote maro Pakistan ke top and middle order ko...the tailenders are diong a better job

 

[Imy]

Impressesed how much Danishs batting has improved

 

[nosferatu372]

what kind of lead do you think SA would want?
i think they will probably want about 450 runs

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

just for the record...i agree with how ordinary players excel against us...but we didn't make Symonds what he is...that monster is pure class...even in a hundred years...even if we tried we couldn't create a player like that....he is unique...

 

[darkmoon459]

tailenders always try to bat well,its a matter of pride for them , example Kaneria today.

 

[nosferatu372]

so it will take them two sessions to make over 200 runs and they will probably declare about lunch tommorow so thats 5 sessions for us to bat through. Thats at least what the SA plan will be

 

[sohaibsyed]

i think 400 will be fine./...on day 5 this pitch will be a handful

 

[12thMan]

Pak 265-9 after 90 overs - trail by 185

 

[nosferatu372]

just for the record...i agree with how ordinary players excel against us...but we didn't make Symonds what he is...that monster is pure class...even in a hundred years...even if we tried we couldn't create a player like that....he is unique...

Agreed

 

[Imy]

300 will be fine we cant play spin or pace

 

[Pathan007]

we suck. harris warne getting 5fer. that's really shameful

 

[nosferatu372]

300 will be fine we cant play spin or pace

i think if we get them out quickly that might just become more dangerous. Best chance to draw is if SA think to cautiously and have trouble scoring quickly and declare late
