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

[UntouchablePlaya]

S.A lead could be 350-400

Oh com'on you must be joking, why don't you think Pakistan can at least restrict the saffies on lowest lead.

 

[ZAK]

50/0.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pak will be chasing 400 and will bat 5-10overs today

 

[JibranAnsari]

rehman bowling some rubbish

 

[James]

South Africa really want this - not sure this young Pakistan side is streetwise enough to resist.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan should have tried to get wickets , its very easy to maintain 6 rr for next 20 and then 8 for the next 8

 

[Legal Eye]

South Africa really want this - not sure this young Pakistan side is streetwise enough to resist.

They can't resist - you're right

But lets not fall for the skippers' and coach's propoganda about this being a young side.

Hafeez, Umar, Younus, Misbah, Sami, Gul, Rehman - that's 7 of the side, are not young or inexperienced at test level. Tanvir Ahmed is a seasoned pro. The only three of have the "young" excuse are Ali, Akmal and Shafiq.

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

rehman bowling some rubbish

it is actually the pitch. call rubbish

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

pakistan are just looking for the draw. They should try to get wickets if they let saffer get easy runs then before they know the lead will be 400.

boys are hunger for wickets, but unfortunately dead pitch is not supporting.

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

Saffies lead by 207 runs not bad they can take it to 350.

 

[JibranAnsari]

sami without swing is better than the sami with swing

 

[JibranAnsari]

damn ,rehman doing the same rubbish

 

[JibranAnsari]

this collapses card scares me

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

[UntouchablePlaya]

63/0.

 

[JibranAnsari]

there should be no cricket in asia , rubbish tracks

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is inexperienced at test level
Umar has not played a test for 5 years
Sami is too unlucky (so unlucky that his luck levels never change)
Rehman is just not good enough... and also has played a handful of tests....

Brilliant experience....

 

[MIG]

there should be no cricket in asia , rubbish tracks

Pakistan were bowled out for 150 short. Pitches are fine.

We dont have any fast bowler who can threaten an opposition.

[JibranAnsari]

aur kero sami ki tareef

 

[JibranAnsari]

these are not result oriented pitches, imagine twogood sides , there will always be a draw.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Sami is SOOOO good....
He should SOOOO be in the ODI squad....
He is SOOOO unlucky.....

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

Shahid isn't a happy man: "This is a JOKE! Let alone playing an International Test Match in a cricket ground that's never been tested before. Who's bright idea was it to play it at this time of year? Its going to be like this for all 5 days of this test match. They might as well just call it off now. Also, start a match on a Monday (previous match)? or a Tuesday? Why would you not schedule a match to capture the Weekends also? Childish i tell you childish. Unless there is something i don't know "

 

[JibranAnsari]

rehman is useless bowler

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

lol @ "so" scenario for Sami!

 

[James]

Wait for Kallis to come in and kill the run rate.

 

[ZAK]

76/0.

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

76 p koi out nahi :/

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

crap pitch.

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

obviously.. third class ki B category ki pitch hai.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wait for Kallis to come in and kill the run rate.

dont get to happy.just concentrate on the ashes.

 

[JibranAnsari]

abdur rehman 4 overs for 25

 

[hur rizvi]

SA are flowing ...

We need some wickets

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

why rehman back, why not Hafeez?

 

[hur rizvi]

abdur rehman 4 overs for 25

Worst spinner ever to play test cricket for PAkistan ... He has no venom

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

227 ki lead b hogayi hai wah.

 

[hur rizvi]

why rehman back, why not Hafeez?

+1

Misbah should bowl him he is a good One day spinner

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

Worst spinner ever to play test cricket for PAkistan ... He has no venom

abay chup, its not his fault... the pitch is real garbage.

 

[Batman]

South Africa | 0/81 | 15 Overs | Lead by 231 runs

5 off the over!

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

6 runs in each over.

 

[ZAK]

81/0.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

lol at the moment sami stats r better than rehman but still I hate sami lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

short offside off

 

[rarara01]

Out

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

okay I was rightly in love with rehman ... 1st wicket for Pakistan

 

[James]

231/0 effectively. going to come down to how Pakistan bat, because taking ten wickets on this pitch takes a long time unless there are many mistakes.

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

okay I was rightly in love with rehman ... 1st wicket for Pakistan

lol. love jokes. :nj

 

[jattafridi]

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

so thats TeA ..... 20 runs lesser would have been more good

 

[ZAK]

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

are you Tanveer younger brother?
I can see the tanveer in you!!!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

[Batman]

South Africa | 1/81 | 15.2 Overs | Lead by 231 runs | Day 4 - Tea

 

[ZAK]

Tea

SA 81/1. SA lead by 231 runs.

 

[sanakazmi]

What are the odds of Misbah attacking after tea?

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

Tea time.

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

muftay ki wicket mil gayi...

 

[UntouchablePlaya]

Petersen might be gritting off his teeth's and pretending he's having late lunch =p

 

[badar1653]

This match surely going towards a draw.

 

[Strike!]

We really need to do something about these easy singles.

 

[ZAK]

85/1.

 

[sanakazmi]

What's the point of the defensive field when they're still going at almost 6 an over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

totally useless strategy by misbah , they cant stop runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan will be under tremendous pressure and we will see a lot of blocking

 

[ZAK]

50 for Amla. Well played.

 

[JibranAnsari]

12 runs of the over

 

[JibranAnsari]

south africa will win this match

 

[Strike!]

12 runs.

 

[spoiled]

why doesnt sami bowl bouncers
diff. b/w pak and sa is..sa bowlers keep thinking doing things bouncers.. different lines but pak doesnt seem to have that kind of venom
no planning can be seen

 

[James]

Standard Sami! South Africa have Pakistan by the throat here.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Tanvir should bowl

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan deserve to lose this match , pathetic mindset no effort at all

 

[badar1653]

Its quite a belter of a track. No team can take 20 wickets on it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah thinks its a domestic match

 

[JibranAnsari]

mark my words , south africa will win

 

[Amir]

Pakistan should just get Rehman. Pack the leg side field and just pitch it at leg stump. Slow down the rate of scoring so they are forced to pick up the pace and innovate and risk losing their wicket in order to score fast.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Is this a one-day game going on? Run Rate of 5.7 ....
