Pakistan Vs South Africa | 2nd Test | Day 3| 16/02/2013 | Cape Town

[ekpakistani]

we will win, insha'Allah ..SAffers will choke soon

 

[pak4life]

If only our seamers had the same intensity

 

[Safar55]

Look at the swing ! Our pace attack is such an imcompetent one when you look at the likes of steyn, philander

karachi express bowls same speed as philla but look at the differance showing you need to know the craft of bowling with new ball. we dont have any since amir and asif. and then glass man junaid

 

[ekpakistani]

Hafeez should be dropped for next test .. infact we should also drop tanvir .. sarfraz as well

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic start from pakistan and once again the middle order has to try and bail us out of a hole, wont be shocked if we collapse like a pack of cards here...

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

2 runs to Azhar Ali. 21/2

 

[saiyan0312]

Agreed. A few performances at the limited over arena and we rushed him into test cricket. He's far from ready.

Not the best place to get him to debut too ... africa.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

u cant bowl at this intensity for 6 overs on a trot

 

[adnan yasin]

LEAD of 21 runs with 8 wickets remaining

only 279 runs more

 

[ekpakistani]

21/2 ... .. 179 more needed for a respectable score

 

[Aman]

Ajmal needs 250 to make a game of it

 

[pakistani]

Honestly I feel we should just counter attack. There's no point playing defensive just try to get pass 150

 

[Sledger]

Lovely shot by Azhar.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

lets hope this wicket survives the new ball

 

[Saudi]

karachi express bowls same speed as philla but look at the differance showing you need to know the craft of bowling with new ball. we dont have any since amir and asif. and then glass man junaid

Speed of Philander and accuracy of Sami.

 

[doctordamor]

look how SA making the ball talk once we use to do that SA usually gets 4 wkts in 1st 20 overs and we had to see them off poor from openers, but I don't blame nasir 1st time out in SA test debut this was bound to happen. Hafeez needs to be dropped

 

[WNC]

Trying to block the new ball has yielding nothing but top order collapses. Why not just play your shots then?

That split screen showed Hafeez can't play inswing or outswing.

 

[adnan yasin]

inside edge



Azhar ali confused ... to block it or not

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Inside edge for 4. Doesnt matter how they get the runs as long as they get them.

 

[mosh101]

Azhar needs to score a ton here else he may well be out next game

 

[Saudi]

Lovely shot by Azhar.

Shows the class of the man.

)

 

[Safar55]

steyn bowling with both fire and discipline.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

HAHA azhar survives

inside edge for

 

[saiyan0312]

karachi express bowls same speed as philla but look at the differance showing you need to know the craft of bowling with new ball. we dont have any since amir and asif. and then glass man junaid

Exactly.... yaar why dont they know... i thought tanvir speciality was new ball and if in africa you cant do much with the new ball then you are bad....

Lucky four.

 

[ekpakistani]

4 .. ha ha ... azhar just trolled steyn ... 25/2

 

[Aman]

How many people still want Amir not to play for pakistan again?

 

[doctordamor]

Sami must be called back

 

[speed]

How is philander getting movement not even steyn or any Pakistani seamer got any movement?

 

[Strike!]

Just need to see of this burst. Pitch is flat.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Match will be over tomorrow before the close.

 

[IMMY69]

Come on Pakistan!!! I won't give up just yet!!!

 

[mosh101]

He is not the only one so lets be fair

Totally agreed. Lotsa incompetent jokers in this lot.

 

[Safar55]

azhar need to block the shine out of that ball... then philla out of the game

 

[Saudi]

Some bakwaas being shouted by saffers. Really want us to do them.

 

[imshally81]

lucky four

 

[testcricketisbest]

Any 50/50 decision Steve Davis will give against us.

that is where exactly I have problem with this umpire's call nonsense, steve davis in this case has been giving 50/50 decisions in favor of one team only.

Pakistan is getting double whammied first their bowlers are not getting the wicket for same call which Proteas are getting wickets and they are losing their wickets as well.

There should be change in this drs rule if ball hits the stumps it should be out no more umpire's call nonsense.

 

[Sledger]

Can't rely on Ajmal, Younis and Shafiq every time. Azhar and Misbah will need to do something today and everybody can't dump all the pressure on Ajmal in the last innings.

 

[ekpakistani]

175 more needed to reach a respectable score

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

All hopes on Younis Khan now !

 

[mosh101]

Match will be over tomorrow before the close.

We need a miracle to see the end of tomorrows day

 

[kungfu90]

Kepler again big mouth.

 

[Safar55]

woah...just missed the edge

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

What a delivery !

 

[saiyan0312]

Shariq: "Unless Pakistan decides to be positive against the new ball, they will keep getting themselves 30-4. Surely attacking the new ball cant do worse than 30-4."


?I was against this idea but i agree now... how bad can it get... the top order openers attack.

yEP, i remember one of the south african batsmen, i think it was abdv, being given not out and the ball being shown just to kiss the stumps like jamsheds decision

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Guys, don't lose hope this quick. You never know. Pakistan has saved/won matches from far worse scenarios in the past.

 

[ekpakistani]

28/2 ... 172 away from respectable total

 

[saiyan0312]

How many people still want Amir not to play for pakistan again?

Itnay buray halat nahi aye


nice shot by younis.... need him to do something.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

amla doing yk a favour by slipping

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

3 runs to Younis. Pak 28/2

You want us to attack viciously swinging bowls? ) ) Maybe if you're betting on the gully catcher catching a few...

 

[hur rizvi]

S.A way ahead now

25/2 with our batting line-up dont see them scoring much

 

[taqi]

get through this bust guys it will be ok after 20 overs of new ball

 

[saiyan0312]

28/2 ... 172 away from respectable total

Time to count every run.

 

[ekpakistani]

run rate a healthy 4.0

 

[shan]

2 overs without a wicker.

 

[doctordamor]

Watching Philander i long for asifffffffffffffffffffffff i hope he gets clear we need him desperately

 

[Strike!]

Not swinging as much now.

 

[saiyan0312]

You want us to attack viciously swinging bowls? Maybe if you're betting on the gully catcher catching a few...

Hey how bad can it get. ok very bad we can be all out for 10 runs

 

[Saudi]

get through this bust guys it will be ok after 20 overs of new ball

Given how Peterson's day has gone I wouldn't rule out him suddenly becoming garfield sobers today.

 

[Silverlion]

Want amir back.

 

[IMMY69]

Come on YK! Show prove to everyone the legend that you are!!

 

[Osman]

younus khan very tenative early on....driving on the walk not a good idea

 

[Safar55]

the energy levels up for the saffers. working off the new ball is going to be a big acheivment

 

[Saudi]

Inventive block.

 

[imshally81]

misbah captaincy is very poor in the current match. he didn't use the bowler in right place except ajmal

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

mike is playing sensible

 

[ViciousMachine]

Pathetic batting by both openers, as always....
after pathetic bowling & fielding, lol....


Need a huge partnership!

C'mon Azhar!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

Not swinging as much now.

so the openers just needed to survive two overs.. yes its not swinging as much and they got out to straight balls.

 

[Saudi]

mike is playing sensible

Why is he being called mike all of a sudden. What have i missed?

 

[mosh101]

Azhar 12(10)

 

[IMMY69]

Wicket must be flat because we're 16 for 2 off only 5 overs

 

[saiyan0312]

hey steyn is cracking up the speed which means the swing is going

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Wicket must be flat because we're 16 for 2 off only 5 overs

Lol.

Clueless come to mind. ...

 

[ekpakistani]

i guess steyn n philander must be getting bored of this

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar is in a little attack mode so he should keep it up.

 

[Bilal7]

Remember guys, just play out 50 deliveries and don't listen to Ramiz Raja.

 

[ekpakistani]

Wicket must be flat because we're 16 for 2 off only 5 overs

good point .. 3 and 4 wicket not down yet ... we were 33/4 in first innings .. see what happens

 

[ekpakistani]

commies complaining about azhar ali's run rate .. he has scored 12 off 12 balls .. what do they expect off him in a test match?

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar blocking... which is better then leaving.. the more he gets on bat the better.
