wanna go smack this nazir fellow....first he played that pathetic shot and now this rubbish bowling.....really our reserves are more than just ordinary
 
no need to panic....not everyone can bowl like Asif! We need to give these boys(Nazir and M Sami) a couple of overs to settle.
 
All South Africa have to do is play out Asif as cautiously as possible. Runs will come from the other end thanks to Sami and Nazir...
 
Inzi has to be careful with the length of spells given to Asif. He can't over exert him. Its too risky.
 
missing gul as well. would really have been a handful on this pitch with the bounce he can get.
 
9.6 Nazir to Smith, FOUR!!, Nazir fires in a real loosener, way down the leg side, Smith goes on the backfoot and flicks it away to backward square leg for four, neat roll of the wrists on that shot, productive over for the South Africans!!!
9.5 Nazir to Smith, FOUR!!, good length delivery on the off, angling away from the left hander, Smith goes on the backfoot and looks jab at that one, edges it into the gap between 2nd slip and gully down to square third man for four, streaky shot!!!
 
These free shots being offered by "half - trekkers" on the middle and off will allow the saffies to run away with it. Danish must be introduced.
 
Change Nazir bhai, He is leaking runs as If we have 300 on the board...bring back anyone but him
 
43/2 2 top men at the crease this might just kill the paks bowling

I saw the whole Pakistan innings and it looked like this;

Openers; Plain Crap

Younis Khan; Very dissappointing, I was hoping for a good contribution from him so I could show how much of a better batsmen he is than the chicken Rahul Dravid.

Moyo: Pure classs and courage took the bowlers ONNNNNNNNNNNNNN, man some of his backfoot cut shots looked replica's of Pontings :O.

INZI: Well Inzi looked like the batsmen I have always rated poorly, just cant handle any pace and bounce.

Kamran; Always thought his last 50 was a fluke only this time the SA placed slip fielders all in the slips and a catch came just as expected. Just pick him only when playing in the sub continent.

As we speak I am watching some amazing bowling from Asif, boy this really is a one man bowling team, if Shoiby was here I reckon Pak would have a definite victory here.
 
well im off now

we have lost this match and smith is gonna regain his form in a big way and will get a 100
 
the crap bowlers sami and nazir have even failed to stop the flow of runs, bowling too many 4 balls
 
We have lost the match unless theres tons of rain tonight
do you have any contacts in cape town khalil?
if you know what i mean ;-0
 
all too easy for saffies at the moment.......63/2

A lead of around 150 would nearly kill the match....

Pak must restrict the saffies lead to around 80-90.
 
looks too easy at the mo!

Come, SA might just kill the game here if we do not get afew wickets.

Inspiration and divine help, any one?
 
honestly after looking at smith and kallis i feel our batsmen chickened out after taking a look at the pitch and in reality the pitch isn't that bad at all...shame on pakistani batsmen
 
We're through 20 overs of the Saffies innings. Tell me, coz I haven't seen it on tv as yet, how much of our collapse can be attributed to the pitch and how much to poor shot selection? The saffie captain Smith and Kallis seem to be playing it quite easily. Infact they are hitting boundaries quite regularly. I'm a bit puzzled.

i will tell you....our batsmen are chickens infront of good bowling....or latleast they chickened out today....kallis for the Love of the game took 4 wickets....and sami a main strike bowler is going over 6 runs an over....nice
 
where are the guys who said 150 will be par score? the pitch is flat and only poor shots can help us.
 
Cricinfo and cricbuzz both down. Any other sites which provide a live feed of commentary??
 
You guys are funny, LATE....what late, its never too late, hell, its a test match and a set batsman like kallis was always a prize wicket...lets hope that Prince misses one too...

cricketarchive.com is way faster then crapinfo
 
saffies clearly showing that the pitch is not as bad as our batsmen made it look

saffies still on for 400 - devilliers is due big time.
 
now bring the Leftie speciallist Asif back and I am sure, inshallah He shall get us another 2 wickets...both of Smith and Boucher...Danish will take care of Prince mian
 
Smith is doing us the same thing what Shaikh did to them...batting attackingly...else on a pitch like that, one never gets easy and should always be pressing more on the gas!
