Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd Test | Lahore | 9/10/07 | Day 2

[161]

salam ... good morning/evening everyone.


ok lets get this tail out quickly...

i think malik should have stuck with the old ball a bit longer ...

rehman was pretty efficient at getting the tail in the first test.

 

[darkmoon459]

Good morning all ,lets the games begain ,and pakistan to wipe off the tail quick.

 

[iafzal]

Gul hits Nels first and then gets him to pop an easy one with the 2nd short ball.
Nice work!!

 

[Hash]

nel gone

perfect start

 

[darkmoon459]

nel is gone.

 

[Islamabadi]

any link guys,, nothing working for me today

 

[iafzal]

Harris comes in and has an average of 4.00. Waqar says he can definitely bat.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

good yorker by gul at good pace

 

[darkmoon459]

what a cheap act by harris ,pulled away from the stumps as gul was about to realize the ball.

 

[iafzal]

it will be good that if pak take about an hour to get the next 3 wts. Too early may not be so good because of the morning moisture in the pitch

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Good bouncer from Asif

 

[161]

what u have no faith in our openers

 

[iafzal]

this picth seems to have some bounce. Both Asif and Gul are balling bouncer with much ease.

 

[iafzal]

what u have no faith in our openers

which openers? do we have any?

 

[darkmoon459]

what u have no faith in our openers

Havemore faith in gul and kaneria's batting then the openers.

 

[161]

Umar Gul to Harris, 5 wides, phew, very short bouncer, that takes off, well over the head of Harris, continues to climb, and flies over the leaping Akmal

gul trying his best to take the place of shoaib ?

 

[SUPERSAMI]

not one yorker from Gul in that over

 

[161]

Havemore faith in gul and kaneria's batting then the openers.

exactly... these two should open and asif comes in 1 down

 

[Zechariah]

salam everyone, howz everyone doing

and perfect start for Pakistan!! come on 3 more wickets

 

[CricketBuff]

We need Boucher's wkt now !!!

 

[CricketBuff]

Wicket has bounce, not too sure of Pak batting here!

 

[Bobaran]

Harris comes in and has an average of 4.00. Waqar says he can definitely bat.

Well he has a first class average of 13, so I doubt he'll be sticking around too long.

 

[Easa]

come on Pakistan, lets wrap them up in the next 20-30 runs

268/7

 

[161]

ok gul .. time for some yorkers !

 

[Imy]

Due to duw the ball will zip around but it will only last an hour i hope

 

[iafzal]

the ground seems quite empty, not much of a crowd

 

[darkmoon459]

The most SA will get arround 300-320.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

bowl those freakin yorkers gul

 

[SUPERSAMI]

harmless bouncer to finish the over

 

[iafzal]

gul contempt on bowling bouncer. last one at body line of harris.
pak batsmen may not be too happy with that. *** for tat as it goes

 

[Bobaran]

How is Gul's pace? Is he still bowling slower than Asif?

 

[SUPERSAMI]

How is Gul's pace? Is he still bowling slower than Asif?

mid to high 130's, got one in at 140k in his first over

 

[darkmoon459]

madian over but was waste of 6 deliveries to get harris out,waste bowling bouncers and short of length.

 

[161]

gul is much better with the older reversing ball than with a new one.


malik should have kept the old ball and had gul bowling from one end and rehman the other.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

dang, caught and bowled chance, fell just short of asif

 

[iafzal]

almost did not carry back to Asif

 

[SUPERSAMI]

ball change, i think the seam has ripped

 

[darkmoon459]

asif missed a caught and bowl chance ,man.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Inzi's lost allot of weight

 

[iafzal]

another bouncer by Asif, on average 2 bouncers per oer, I guess pak pacers are just happy to see a pitch with some bounce

 

[darkmoon459]

Inzi's lost allot of weight

where

 

[iafzal]

NOOOOOOO.

ZA is back, pls spare us

 

[MIG]

Gul hits Nels first and then gets him to pop an easy one with the 2nd short ball.
Nice work!!

Gul may want to wear extra padding when he goes out to bat....fast bowlers and their memories...

 

[Bobaran]

gul is much better with the older reversing ball than with a new one.


malik should have kept the old ball and had gul bowling from one end and rehman the other.

Yeah I want Gul to come in later as well, but with only two pacers, who would open with Asif? Kenaria?

 

[SUPERSAMI]

ahahaha, juicy wicket according to zed

 

[Plasma]

oh good, Zaheer on to bore us to death...

 

[CricketBuff]

Gul may want to wear extra padding when he goes out to bat....fast bowlers and their memories...

They got Asif out in Karachi with a bouncer. The fast bowler union taking revenge.

 

[Islamabadi]

we need to get them out fast

 

[iafzal]

good now Asif has harris for a complete over, I think we may another wkt.

 

[Islamabadi]

SA pacers will kill pakistani batsmen on this surface

 

[SUPERSAMI]

What with the short bowling, bowl some yorkers and get the freakin tail out

 

[Plasma]

harris hiding from a bouncer from gul like a girl!! )

 

[Bobaran]

89.4 Umar Gul to Harris, no run, great bouncer, Harris is all over the place as he tries to get out of the way, somehow he manages to get the body out of line

273/7

 

[Amir]

harris hiding from a bouncer from gul like a girl!! )

Looked like a cross between taking a kung fu stance and hiding behind his bat.

 

[CricketBuff]

They are just wasting the new ball with bouncers!!!

 

[iafzal]

here we go first blood, harris has bee hit on the head by asif

 

[SUPERSAMI]

ohhh, Harris ducks into a short ball from Asif and gets hit on the helmet

 

[SUPERSAMI]

too bad it was only 120 odd k's

 

[iafzal]

i dont see harris lasting to long after the hit he looks rattled and need treatement for the cut ear. I am sorry to say but we should be seeing a lot of short balls from SA bowlers too

 

[Islamabadi]

that wasn't that high

 

[darkmoon459]

Hey guys lets e-mail and zaheer stop commenting and stop boring us all.e-mail addy is
haveyoursay@tajtv.com

 

[CricketBuff]

Its not about hitting the batsman, its about getting wickets. The fast bowlers have lost the plot here.

 

[Plasma]

lmao!! Harris just owned himself by putting his head right to the ball!! didn;t look where the ball was going, stopped right into it.

 

[iafzal]

harris survive the over. dang

 

[Bobaran]

Its not about hitting the batsman, its about getting wickets. The fast bowlers have lost the plot here.

But hitting batsmen is more fun..... and if we injure Harris, we won't have to deal with his bowling

 

[iafzal]

Its not about hitting the batsman, its about getting wickets. The fast bowlers have lost the plot here.

they are taking what they can if no wkts then lets put some bruises

 

[Easa]

Well, nothings happening. I don't know what Boucher is playing at.. 16 off 40 balls.

 

[darkmoon459]

But hitting batsmen is more fun.....

specially when shoaib akhtar does it.

 

[Plasma]

i would rather have that ball hit his hand then his helmet...

 

[Islamabadi]

i sent mine

 

[iafzal]

almost had harris runout but a bad throw from Abdur saves him. harris seems a little tentative after being hit

 

[inzibhai]

that should have been an easy run out....how come Zaheer loser Abbas didn't criticize GL for that?

 

[iafzal]

i would rather have that ball hit his hand then his helmet...

u got ur wish gul just hit him on the hand. not too hard though

 

[darkmoon459]

Pakistanis are lossing the plot here ,missed a run out chance.

 

[shahzad_1]

Rehman look like a poor fielder

 

[inzibhai]

sending mine right now......lets kick this guy out of here...

 

[SUPERSAMI]

This has been a harmless spell form the pacers so far

 

[iafzal]

harris just takes the eyes of the ball as soon as he sees it pitched 5 meter away from him

 

[Plasma]

u got ur wish gul just hit him on the hand. not too hard though

ahahah just saw it, maybe a couple more times and he wont be able to bowl... by the way for anyone needing a link : http://cricket-sopcast.blogspot.com/
