Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd Test | 22/11/2010 | Abu Dhabi | Day 3 : Session 2

[JibranAnsari]

Doesnt matter what SA do we will bat through out the day ....

matter of another 15 overs

 

[NJamal]

Not overrated at all, Steyn is a brilliant bowler. He has all the makings to be one of the all time greats if he keeps going as he is now.

Now this is a bit of exagerration (all time great).

 

[ZAK]

156/4.

 

[hur rizvi]

matter of another 15 overs

And then we will bat again

 

[Noork85]

Steyn is def pumped up.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

game over

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Now this is a bit of exagerration (all time great).

The bowling secret is strike rate....

Look at his....

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan can collapse on any surface ,we need some flat track bullies

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Now this is a bit of exagerration (all time great).

Why is that, he can bowl on any pitch in the world and still be an absolute horror to face when on song (and he is on song more often than not). That 7 wicket haul against India for instance was one of the best spells of the decade. I didn't say that he is an all time great already, just that he has all the ingredients to be one and that is fact.

 

[IAJ]

Lols Dhoni out on 98 in the other match. Not easy to play in the 90s!

 

[JibranAnsari]

And then we will bat again

lol
yea i forgot

 

[NJamal]

156/4

 

[Noork85]

Batting.consultant.needed

 

[JibranAnsari]

[spoiled]

what is happening..bad energy
dhoni missed a 100 by 2 runs...
oh and how i feel so sorry for azhar
remember when asif decided to become a hero..took his helmet off..asked azhar to hold it..gave a catch and left azhar stranded on 92...and now this

 

[Noork85]

53 overs remaining in the day?

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 156/4.

 

[hur rizvi]

Big test of Asad shafiq's Talent and temperament

 

[Strike!]

Another collapse on the cards here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 4 down and in deep **** now!

 

[Noork85]

what is happening..bad energy
dhoni missed a 100 by 2 runs...
oh and how i feel so sorry for azhar
remember when asif decided to become a hero..took his helmet off..asked azhar to hold it..gave a catch and left azhar stranded on 92...and now this

I was pissed when that happened. Test debut 100 is a dream for any cricketer

 

[NJamal]

Both Younis & Azhar out to Boundary balls.

 

[Noork85]

Draw doesnt look possible

 

[cricfan4ever]

going into a shell now...

Asad can't drive on off-side...

 

[NJamal]

still 156/4

 

[hur rizvi]

I was pissed when that happened. Test debut 100 is a dream for any cricketer

Especially against this attack .....


But honestly I dont expect much from Asad as this is only his debut innings ... Everyone needs time to settle

 

[Noork85]

111/1-156/4 onky in pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Asad's clear weaknesses on the off side are being exposed here already. Definitely has a lot to work on before he can really look for a long term spot on this test squad

 

[ZAK]

Maiden by Steyn. 156/4.

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah should play off Back foot ...

 

[Noork85]

Whats grandpa waiting for? A revalation?

 

[JibranAnsari]

hafeez to make a 100 now

 

[hur rizvi]

Asad's clear weaknesses on the off side are being exposed here already. Definitely has a lot to work on before he can really look for a long term spot on this test squad

Everyone is weak outside off Temperament is the key to success ...

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah ka anda toota

 

[mastermind_quad]

Common Asad ..All the best

 

[ZAK]

Misbah gets off the mark.

 

[JibranAnsari]

first run for asad shafiq ...mera bacha jawan ho gaya

 

[NJamal]

158/4

 

[ZAK]

Asad gets off the mark with a single.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both batsmen off the mark now...

158/4

 

[Noork85]

misbah ka anda toota

Hahahaha that doesnt sound right.

 

[JibranAnsari]

2 runs ki partnership...uffff

 

[ZAK]

158/4.

 

[NJamal]

44444444444444 Asad

[Noork85]

Good run

 

[IAJ]

These two needs to bat out rest of day.

 

[ZAK]

Edged for by

 

[cricfan4ever]

this is the moment for Asad to prove me wrong...he has to get stuck and score runs...play a fearless knock!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Asad.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

RE STEYN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF STRIKE RATES.....

Cant really argue with this....

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...ualval1=wickets;template=results;type=bowling

 

[JibranAnsari]

shafiq nein 100 to kerna hai werna fawad alam aur umar akmal ko kya mun dikhayega

 

[AZ]

Asad going hard at everything, Misbah basically has no shot against the fast bowlers.

 

[Noork85]

Morkel is monstrously tall!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Misbah.

 

[Noork85]

I cant get over azhar! So close!

 

[NJamal]

RE STEYN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF STRIKE RATES.....

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...ualval1=wickets;template=results;type=bowling

Mr. Khan Ji let him play 80-90 Tests and then we will see where is he on that list. BTW Waqar after 87 tests is not far behind.

 

[ZAK]

165/4.

 

[AZ]

short, wide

 

[IAJ]

 

[NJamal]

44444444444 by Asad

 

[Noork85]

:4

 

[ahsan88]

Who said Asad has no off-side game?

 

[Noork85]

Umar-esque shot

 

[IAJ]

and all of the sudden Harris throwing it quicker now.

 

[NJamal]

169/4

 

[ZAK]

Cut away for by

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Who said Asad has no off-side game?

Anyone can cut away a short and wide ball from a spinner. It's his game against fast bowlers that really seems lacking on the offside. Anyways, I wish him all the best on his debut we need all the runs we can get

 

[NJamal]

and all of the sudden Harris throwing it quicker now.

Our batsmen should stuck into Harris and then watch how faster he bowls.

 

[iZeeshan]

This is test cricket people, comebacks happen from both sides

Unfortunate that they got out to bad shots, but Steyn was bowling extremely well and deserved a wicket

These two can still bat out the day and bring Pakistan back in it

Initial signs from Shafiq are quite good

 

[ZAK]

169/4.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Who said Asad has no off-side game?

I did...that was a good shot though!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Mr. Khan Ji let him play 80-90 Tests and then we will see where is he on that list. BTW Waqar after 87 tests is not far behind.

Agreed.....

But everyone says "so far" when it comes to Steyn......

Shows how good was.... very under-rated....

For example in the cricinfo all time line-up - I would have had Waqar instead of Lillee.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

fingers crossed .... I hope these two can survive .... both sessions today .....

 

[Fish]

Another umpire blunder, Asad gets a life.

59.1
Harris to Asad Shafiq, no run, goes on straight with the arm, hits him on the pads as he pushes forward, Harris with the polite query to the umpire, who shakes his head, replays show that would have hit leg, hmm

 

[NJamal]

Agreed.....

But everyone says "so far" when it comes to Steyn......

Shows how good was.... very under-rated....

For example in the cricinfo all time line-up - I would have had Waqar instead of Lillee.

But you agree with me or not that both his wickets today were taken on boundary balls. It was just loose shots from Younis & Azhar not brilliant deliveries from Mr. Retard

 

[MIG]

Another umpire blunder, Asad gets a life.

About time we got a break.

 

[AZ]
