Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd Test | 23/11/2010 | Abu Dhabi | Day 4 : Session 1

[iZeeshan]

Ok so seriously

If Pakistan take this to lunch without losing a wicket, we'll probably end up around 425, which means behind by approx 160 runs.

If we score maybe 30-40 more and then get bowled out, SA will have a lead of 120. If they collapse in a choking fashion like they should, they should get about a lead of 280.

280 to win in 2.8 sessions. Pakistan seal it with an Azhar Ali special

 

[hayat]

is pakistan really going to cross the 400 mark?!

when was the last time they did that?

Kepler blasting the Indian batting lineup )

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Kepler blasting the Indian batting lineup )

chha gaya!

calling them flat track bullies )

 

[iZeeshan]

the dream that should declare.

Now?

No but if we do get to midway of tea with less than 100 behind, yesh he should declare.

But I highly doubt we'll be in a position to make that call.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Rehman. 402/8.

 

[Rana]

still, RSA favourites if the can quickly get rid of these 2.

 

[NJamal]

Maiden 402/8

 

[Poison]

That last partnership with Morkel and De Villiers haunting us here. -100 runs and we're in a very good position.

 

[iZeeshan]

Nothing wrong with maidens.

Reducing lead is key.

 

[Khabri420]

Get through to lunch and bat as long as possible afterwards. Thakaa do Saffers ko

 

[AZ]

edged and

50 partnership

50 partnership up

 

[hashbb]

Lol, SA look so gutted, they thought we would be AO in the first 2 overs

 

[ZAK]

Edged for by nvir

 

[Khabri420]

50 partnership up...what an effort!

 

[imshally81]

Good batting by these 2

 

[Poison]

Pakistan should aim to declare on Day 5 tea. People talking about declaring are deluded, the pitch is doing pretty much nothing.

 

[NJamal]

406/8

 

[AZ]

Now?

No but if we do get to midway of tea with less than 100 behind, yesh he should declare.

But I highly doubt we'll be in a position to make that call.

now or later, us declaring is a foolish idea.

would give the initiative back to SA without them having to fight for it.

 

[ZAK]

406/8.

 

[iZeeshan]

Grrr I want us to win this game!

Draws are lame, no matter how precious it is in this case.

At least we're in with a sniff.

 

[NJamal]

408/8

 

[iZeeshan]

408/8

2 more overs till lunch

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Awesome shot 444444

 

[ZAK]

2 to Rehman.

 

[AZ]

Tanvir '' Ahmed!!!

 

[NJamal]

44444444444444 Tanvir

 

[iZeeshan]

now or later, us declaring is a foolish idea.

would give the initiative back to SA without them having to fight for it.

But don't you think that if we just bat for too long, SA instead will just go for a draw?

 

[ddss]

shottttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Poison]

Tanvir should be batting above Gul

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

mashAllah Tanvir is batting like a pro...all those years batting in DC has helped

 

[Khabri420]
