Pakistan vs South Africa...Day 3 from Centurion.

[pak4life]

i seriously cannot stand these saffies commentators got the tv on mute.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

It was clear in slow motion Nazir's fingers curling underneath the ball and it not hitting the ground. Even the SA comms. saying it was out.

 

[CrickFan]

I feel that if this inept umpiring stuff continues - cricket world will be split along racial lines ... and fans will turn away from the game

 

[the_game]

I don't know why I am staying up for this ****. I need to go to sleep.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Guys forget this racism issue, in such situations one should pressurise the umpires making them believe they made the wrong decision so you get one back in your favor.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Another LBW decision going against us, how many times do they have to get these 2 out before they are actually given out ?

 

[OZGOD]

Doesn't remotely look like a breakthrough is going to happen.

 

[Easa]

Prince was out LBW a while back, then Gibbs was out, then the catch was taken, and now another LBW shout all denied.

Disgraceful. They are two incompetent umpires.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Finally! BUt the damage is done.

 

[KB]

Prince stumped. Boy they needed that badly

 

[Easa]

Tremendous stumping by Kamran. Simply tremendous.

 

[Easa]

Pakistan get a key wicket.. c'mon BOYS!

 

[CrickFan]

People were blaming Asad Rauf for bad umpring - He was 10 times better then these 2 bozos .. I am not being sarcastic - but these two seriously need to undergo IQ tests .

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Clearly these two umpires have it on their agenda to take revenge for the merciless whopping their boys received recently.

 

[AWAN IN A MILLION]

c'mon Dhaaaaanish!!!!

 

[Osman]

no balls tally is 24 ... shocking to say the least !!!

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Bucknor used to be very good umpire in his time but has been past his sell-by date for a couple of years, and should really think about retiring.

As for Doctrove, he's always been poor, especially when it comes to decisions in matches involving Pakistan. (Remember the 3rd test in Antuiga in 2000? He cost us the game and what would have been our 1st series win in the West Indies)

 

[zaf1986]

We criticise others for blaming the umpires when they lose.

I think we need some honesty here - Asif is the only one who bowled well, everyone else bowled crap which is why SA are running away with the show. Even a few wickets (had they been given) would have had SA on top, and Pakistan are stuggling to get a foot in the door.

Fair enough. We should be able to cop poor decisions from the umpires on the field but theres no excuse for 3rd umpires to make poor decisions.

 

[zaf1986]

Sure - the c&b was a poor decision from what I gather but Rana and Nazir have been distinctly ordinary leaking runs.

 

[iZeeshan]

JUST woke up guys and things aren't looking good.

Can I have a summary of the day so far?

 

[iZeeshan]

I really stinks not being able to watch. Hate followin on scorecards.

But anyway, what is Pakistan going to do about this situation. SAF could easily make 450 and then we'd be in a ton of trouble.

 

[zaf1986]

Prince out stumped on the stroke of lunch.

Saffies adding 102 in the session though. 356/5. Gibbs on 88.

 

[shan]

what a pathetic session this has been.

 

[shan]

the lead is already 44 with 5 wickets at hand. get them out quickly or else expect innings trashing.

 

[Easa]

Asif to Boucher..

 

[tahaqureshi]

Post-lunch session has begun, Asif opening after Kaneria finished his over

 

[tahaqureshi]

Boucher gone! Caught and Bowled Kaneria!!

 

[KB]

Leading edge back to the bowler. A double strike either side of lunch

 

[Easa]

Kaneria getting into the act now, thats his second! Boucher departs for 2.

358/6

 

[shan]

pathetic day so far. I hope tail dosn't score runs now.

 

[KB]

Getting a lot of turn, Kaneria. Should be aiming to pitch on leg stump

 

[Easa]

Kaneria to Boucher, out Caught and Bowled!! Kaneria tosses it up on the middle and leg, drifting in and spinning away from the right hander, Boucher comes on the frontfoot and looks to play down the wrong line, gets a leading edge and the ball pops up straight back to Kaneria, a soft dismissal, Pakistan strike straightaway after lunch!!! M Boucher c and b D Kaneria 2(7) 4s-0 6s-0

Well bowled, c'mon PAK!

 

[Easa]

Lovely delivery from Kaneria. Completely beats Pollock.

 

[Straight Bat]

Daniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish

 

[Straight Bat]

Keep the pressure up PAK.

Saad Ghaus

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Danny booy wll done.

Come on one more wicket very soon.

 

[Easa]

Awesome cut shot from Pollock. Too short from Kaneria.

362/6, Lead is 49!

 

[shan]

and 4. 362/6

 

[UJ]

One more wicket and we're into the tail and should wrap it up

 

[iZeeshan]

Pollock is the tail...

 

[Straight Bat]

Another no ball.

-----

RIP Saad Ghaus

 

[Straight Bat]

Ohh Kaneria getting cheeky with Gibbs

--------

Saad Ghaus in our hearts

 

[KB]

Kaneria trying too many things against Pollock. Googlies, quicker balls etc. He just needs to concentrate on the big leg break pitching around leg.

 

[Noman]

Kaneria, well he has dont a okay job, he hasnt been leaking runs like Nazir and Rana

 

[KB]

Gooone!

 

[KB]

Rana gets Gibbs LBW with a hint of reverse

 

[161]

[Nice-N-Fresh]

[tahaqureshi]

[Disco_Lemonade]

384-7. Harris and Pollock at the crease.

 

[KB]

384-7

 

[Noman]

Rana gets Gibbs LBW with a hint of reverse

well. lets hope he can finish the tail of....with Kaneria..

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

lead of of around 100 will be difficult. esp when we have to win the match.

 

[Noman]

107.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Harris, 1 run

 

[Noman]

lead of of around 100 will be difficult. esp when we have to win the match.

well, we can only hope that our opener perform with a big partnership--

 

[161]

ok rana lets have some reverse swinging yorkers for this tail ...

 

[Saj]

gone, behind his legs. drift and spin. Harris gone 386 for 8

 

[KB]

Kaneria gets Harris. Bowled around the legs. Pakistan hanging on

 

[Noman]

Lead under 99 will give Pakistani batsman the confidence of playing there natural game and will give them hope that they still can win the match,,

 

[Noman]

1 more wickets needed-

 

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!! Kaneria gets his third! Bowled em'!

 

[Noman]

OUT!!!! Kaneria gets his third! Bowled em'!

Lets hope he can finish the tail... the only job which I think he can do for Pakistan

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Finish them in the next 3-4 overs

391/9

 

[tahaqureshi]

Naved gets another! wowzers!!!!!

 

[DotCom]

why wasnt Rana pushing it up like this before? his full deliveries swing and are dangerous... but he was bowling short in his first few spells and getting dispatched..

i wanna see NTINI get some CHIN music...
