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

[PakFan2010]

Steyn reminds me of Tanvir Ahmed but lacks the accuracy of Tanvir.

 

[Sledger]

Hope Azhar can get a good score now, it's difficult to get set here. Ball isn't bouncing consistently.

 

[alberto]

Every run is important! Tanvir needs to contribute again!

 

[kungfu90]

Such intense eyes this Steyn guy has, when he is fired up.

 

[asif9138]

need a big partnership

 

[mosh101]

What a treat to watch these fast bowlers steaming in and bowling their hearts out.

 

[Atif]

So will Steyn be fined for that celebration? Can remember Akhtar being fined for a similar celebration.

 

[saiyan0312]

captain innings...

Worst commentary I have heard in a while. They are soooo full of themselves.

Man they are turning into aussies.

 

[castortroy]

Misbah performing means he bats 20 overs and scores 30. He is not capable of advancing a game or make a real difference

 

[Kianig89]

Yk should have left that one its over for him 7 to go

 

[mosh101]

What was steyn acting out there?

 

[asif9138]

tanveer is mad becasue he was cursed in PP

 

[talha3]

Azhar is uncomfortable against Petersen.

 

[IAJ]

Hate watching misbah bat

Hopefully he bats till tea tomorrow and bye bye to you.

 

[imshally81]

azhar struggling against spin

 

[saiyan0312]

Steyn reminds me of Tanvir Ahmed but lacks the accuracy of Tanvir.

What??????? is this a funny post?

 

[Sledger]

Petersen the new best spinner? )

 

[Square Drive]

Another big appeal.

 

[Saudi]

Hope Azhar can get a good score now, it's difficult to get set here. Ball isn't bouncing consistently.

And in the 4th inning the class of Tanvir and Gul will remedy that.

 

[ViciousMachine]

So will Steyn be fined for that celebration? Can remember Akhtar being fined for a similar celebration.

I sure hope not. If a batsman can celebrate a 100, why cant a bowler celebrate a wicket? Not like he said anything to YK, im ok with it.

Wow, pls dont lose another.... just defend until end of day, im ok with that too....

 

[chacha kashmiri]

for trying to be an usher?

 

[doctordamor]

YK should have put that ball away didn't judge the bounce

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Azhar survives again. Looking real nervous against the spinner here.

 

[asif9138]

no review

 

[chacha kashmiri]

sa really playing for the trigger finger gallery

 

[Digital]

Azhar making me nervous by getting down the pitch

 

[Sledger]

Nice drive now, dot ball though.

 

[IAJ]

Azhar totally at sea against the spinner

 

[mosh101]

Serious pressure here

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar struggling to spin and misbah scoring slowly... yep they got us in a chokehold... guys drag your sorry selves to 250

 

[Square Drive]

Younus out, Azhar looking in trouble against Robin, and Sarfraz bats like a tailender.

Need to take this lead to 230-260.

 

[Kianig89]

AZhar's another weakness on display...after seam n swing its the left arm spin

 

[pak4life]

Azhar is uncomfortable against Petersen.

Azhar is uncomfortable to every bowler he faces.

 

[asif9138]

peterson having good day

 

[kungfu90]

Steyn reminds me of Tanvir Ahmed but lacks the accuracy of Tanvir.

bahahahaha...

 

[mosh101]

How long can azhar last is the question

 

[Square Drive]

Azhar needs to attack the pacers, if not the spinner.

 

[ekpakistani]

steyn is a machine ...

 

[Square Drive]

Kaptaan saab still on a pair.

 

[asif9138]

147

 

[shan]

take on spinners, put pressure back on SA.

 

[Sledger]

Looks like SA are gonna try to bounce out the MBA again.

 

[doctordamor]

I have 2 words for pak batting woes specially outside subcontinent Umar Akmal

 

[mosh101]

Azhar was ball watching during that appeal ! Elgar may have had a shot at the stumps instead of catching

 

[saiyan0312]

ok 143 runs to a decent total.... 193 to a very fighting total.

 

[ekpakistani]

the moment our batters go in their shells .. we lose a wicket .. not good

 

[asif9138]

i hope we get to 250!

 

[Sledger]

Well left.

 

[Sledger]

Well left.

 

[Square Drive]

Misbah looking clueless against Steyn, Azhar looking clueless against Peterson. Not good stuff, this. Pressure from both ends.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Why are people telling Azhar to attack? Let him play. It is day 3. even if he just surives, ball gets older. Did people forget most of our runs came in overs 50-80 against old ball.

Just survive rest of today, even if you defend every ball. Tomorrow morning will be our chance.... we just need to get there, lol.

 

[shah_1]

Steyn is such versatile bowler

 

[imshally81]

another good bowl

 

[kungfu90]

feckin quick.

 

[imshally81]

another good bowl

 

[mosh101]

Misbah very tentative

 

[Khaleefa]

Azhar Ali looks pretty ordinary against spin bowling that's within the stumps. Moves across too much and brings too much of a pad in front the wicket.

 

[saiyan0312]

Kaptaan saab still on a pair.

He should take a single now.... avoid the pair.

 

[ekpakistani]

ok 143 runs to a decent total.... 193 to a very fighting total.

to reach that these two need to stay on the crease till stumps today ..

 

[saiyan0312]

wow where was this steyn on the first day who looked at sea without the new ball.

 

[Sledger]

Azhar Ali looks pretty ordinary against spin bowling that's within the stumps. Moves across too much and brings too much of a pad in front the wicket.

Azhar Ali always 'looks pretty ordinary'. As long as he can scrape out some runs nobody cares. :cook

 

[mosh101]

Peterson may well grab the wicket of azhar

 

[Square Drive]

Azhar should face Steyn, and Misbah should face Robin.

 

[saiyan0312]

to reach that these two need to stay on the crease till stumps today ..

Yep and score too. misbah should avoid the pair.

 

[Square Drive]

Good running. Misbah on strike now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan will dearly miss rehman in the last innings , ajmal and rehman would have been magnificent,

 

[asif9138]

azhar need to be aggressive to release pressure

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Azhar Ali off strike. Misbah can strike it big against the spinners out of no where. Remember his sixes against Panesar last year ?

 

[chacha kashmiri]

the wicket mic turned up atm

 

[saiyan0312]

Azhar should face Steyn, and Misbah should face Robin.

Actually thats right ... azhar hit steyn for a four too ... they need to get the combo right to avoid pressure.

 

[ekpakistani]

Smith is so annoying .. desperate ... really

 

[Square Drive]

Lol AB so annoying.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Lead is 58 with seven wickets remaining.

 

[Saudi]

What's avvo?

 

[mosh101]

Kaptaan under serious pressure

 

[asif9138]

If abdul rahman there, we could have win by scoring 150

 

[Sledger]

Pietersen keeps unleashing the teesra - the mighty arm ball.

 

[Square Drive]

Another appeal, not-out. Misbah still on a pair...

 

[saiyan0312]

since when did peterson become this legendary bowler. throw the hack away. We make everybody look good.

 

[JibranAnsari]

brings calm to the team , should not have got out.
