Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd Test | 24/11/2010 | Abu Dhabi | Day 5: Session 1

[Noork85]

Nice quick singles

 

[Poison]

We are cruising

Morkel acting like every ball he bowls is millimetres away from getting a wicket

 

[Noork85]

Whos the guy with smith with the camera?

 

[Noork85]

Wayne parnell?

 

[Poison]

There is a very good understanding between this pair in regards to running for singles; very good sign for a couple of openers. Please persist with them PCB.

 

[cricfan4ever]

good start...if Professor can stay out there for long, u just never know!

 

[Poison]

Lol Harris being exposed as a crap CRAP spinner.

 

[AZ]

was having a pleasant dream about unicorns, all of a sudden Inzy bhai showed up! got up in a flash!

looking good so far, shabash boys!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Currently Our required Run rate is 4.52

Thanks Bro

I think we need to get a move on

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Taufeeq is Late to react there... Almost gone..

 

[Noork85]

Now the ball was turning more yesterday. Do our spinners truely have no talent?

 

[Strike!]

Taufeeq is really bogging us down.

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 37/0.

 

[*sallu*]

Harris looking dangerous

I sense a wicket anytime now

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Good Paddle Swipe by for 2 runs..

 

[ZAK]

3 to Hafeez.

 

[Noork85]

Nice couple

 

[iZeeshan]

Really want them to for the win but Taufeeq is bogged down

 

[Noork85]

Cmon sallu, dont say that!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Lol Harris being exposed as a crap CRAP spinner.

Key word here is spinner. He is not good at spinning the ball but is still a pretty good bowler, who is able to pick up wickets in other ways.

He's also very much in the Ashley Giles mould.

Did you see The match play yesterday??? Abdur Rehman got Three Wickets with three good deliveries.. He is Talented..

 

[Noork85]

:4

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

with 323 to score in a day would have given pak a chance to win but now draw looks inevitable

Giles and Harris are both mediocre bowlers. Spinners have to spin the ball. Giles averages 40 in Test cricket. Harris is not far behind, because he does not spin the ball. Doesn't matter if you count him as a bowler or a spinner he's still sh!t

Thats the point im rrying to make. The commentators were saying the ball was turning more and thats why rehman got the wickets. Completely ignoring his talent. They forget we also got a wicket this morning.

Overall, weve done a good job bowling them out.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Umar.

 

[Noork85]

Pakistan r due for a collapse. How mean. I hope he chokes on his words

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Our Current Run rate is 3+ .. We are playing well..

 

[ZAK]

Single to Umar.

Both Giles and Harris were not used as wicketaking options by their respective caaptaans.

They are and were used to give the quickies a rest.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nicely Played

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

100 for no loss at lunch will be great but not realistic, realistically 60/0 is possible

 

[Noork85]

:4 ha ha

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

only 300 more required....

These are Crap Commentators Including Ramiz...

Another thing Kumble never turned the ball very much and became one of the leading wicket takers of all time.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I think Pakistan should aim for 200 till tea with handfull of wickets in hand. then go for the win with 150 to get in 30 overs..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

only 300 more required....

And 67 overs to get them..

may be not to loose any wicket before lunch.

 

[*sallu*]

Looking good once again

Make it count for once

 

[cricfan4ever]

this is the 3rd 50+ stand b/w & in this series...

great stuff! Mashallah!

 

[IAJ]

Alot of praise for The professor in the commentary box. Hope they don't jinx him.

 

[AZ]

people pls don't ask negative questions

shubh shubh bolo, shubh shubh socho!

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Taufeeq Should attack Harris to force him on back foot.

 

[ShehryarK]

Stey says were due for a collpase

He said that last night.

And would LOVE to shut him by winning this - however unlikely that might be!

 

[AZ]

Harris is a mazedaar bowler.

Masha Allah!

Hafeez really needs to get a 100 - when he's looking so good, its criminal to always throw it away!

Pakistani batsmen need to learn from Yousuf and to an extent from YK on how to convert their good form into big scores.

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 52/0.
