South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Johannesburg | 1/2/13 | Day 1

[FerozShahKotla2005]

So you lose 2 overs to the innings break?

We need to just let them play for another 3 overs and then get them haha.

 

[saiyan0312]

hafeez to bowl ..

 

[JibranAnsari]

he's been good .... who is this idiot in baniyan ?

looks like some NRI

 

[asifp]

What has happened to gul's yorker??

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Now you can call them CHOKERS.

easy now. We are yet to bat. 250 is a good score on this pitch.

 

[Jo_Don]

I didnt say we won i said your batting chocked which it did at the end.

Then you don't know what what a choke is. Htf can it be a choke on day 1 when it is nowhere close to a result?

 

[alberto]

Where is Gul's yorker?

 

[Justcrazy]

Can anyone tell what kind of pitch is this??

 

[asif9138]

[Saurav]

Hafeez,my fantasy man

[asifp]

Hafeez performance proves we need Rehman in the second test match

 

[Jeetu111]

[Bullet Drive]

All day long I've said Pakistan will get SA out today for 250.

 

[asif9138]

[akamaka]

YES all out ,6 wickets in this session

 

[Sledger]

Not bad.

What is the wicket playing like, everyone seems to be saying its very tough to bat on? What sort of score is this?

 

[saiyan0312]

Lefties are soo weak against hafeez. he just destroyed anyone who dared to be a left hander.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Are we batting today?

 

[malakian]

Well played Pakistan, very impressive first day performance!

 

[Justcrazy]

Great bowling , did not expect this from in test match.

 

[ahmed778]

Excellent bowling from Hafeez simply outstanding.
Overall very good bowling from Pakistan kept it tight and got the result in the end.

 

[battler]

Sorry to say but hafeez has totally pawned ajmal today!

 

[alberto]

I can't believe many Ppers did not back Sarfaraz! I am happy I backed him before his 90. The selectors had a better judgement than most Ppers and management.

 

[Jeetu111]

looks like some NRP

fixed

 

[bforme]

I say rest Ajmal for next test and play extra batsman in his place.

 

[Jo_Don]

Good bowling, below par batting performance. Our quicks need to step up now.

 

[adnan yasin]

We ll batting today for 2-3 overs

 

[Saurav]

that sounds wrong

man in my fantasy team

 

[asif9138]

great bowling performance by bowlers!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should be pleased , SA restricted under is a big thing considering the batting they have. Pakistan now need to bat well and aim for 400 here at least.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

I can't believe many Ppers did not back Sarfaraz! I am happy I backed him before his 90. The selectors had a better judgement than most Ppers and management.

sarfraz is the most hated after faisal iqbal by a thin margin

 

[JilaWatan]

yes 2 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan will have to bat 2 overs here.

1st inns target should be 300 and if we have to bat slow to make it then so be it, need to stay in the game here and apply pressure back on S.A

 

[saiyan0312]

Then you don't know what what a choke is. Htf can it be a choke on day 1 when it is nowhere close to a result?

Oh chill out. relax. we still have a total of 5 more innings to go in this series. Lets see pakistan batting. wanted to see nasir jamsheed and azhar on the big show.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

i request the pak supporters not to jump up and down now, and dont jinx pakistani team

 

[Sledger]

I say rest Ajmal for next test and play extra batsman in his place.

Yeah good idea lol no.

 

[Asif321]

haffez excellent .....

 

[asif9138]

drop rahat for next A rehman for next game

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not bad.

What is the wicket playing like, everyone seems to be saying its very tough to bat on? What sort of score is this?

The wicket has green but not too pacy, there is movement.

 

[taqi]

we need to see so furious 2-3 overs from styen and co

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to close there shop and bat for next two days , without thinking about run rate. Just bat next two days and see what happens.

 

[Gone]

Pakistan will have to bat two overs today.
Farhan: "Hold the celebrations. This is not a bad score with the bowling South Africa has. Pakistan's test is tomorrow."

-CricInfo

Well this looks like its gonna turn out to be great contest!

 

[Pete Rose]

sarfraz is the most hated after faisal iqbal by a thin margin

no one beats farhat

 

[shakil]

Ten cricket promoting Fawad Alam

 

[IMMY69]

Yeah good idea lol no.

Exactly! Ajmal may have bowled round the wicket but he have us so much control and helped build pressure...

 

[Justcrazy]

Expect Missiles from steyn

 

[Friend786]

god help us now!!!

 

[alberto]

Misbah has captained excellently!

 

[Bullet Drive]

WHY the F are we playing 2 overs?

Should be stumps.

 

[battler]

If pak get anything below 300 then it is advantage sa.
Pak has to bat last which is never easy.

 

[asif9138]

great hafeez

 

[Maher96]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Is that end of play then?

 

[PakFan2010]

Pakistan need to post around 325.

 

[saiyan0312]

Good bowling, below par batting performance. Our quicks need to step up now.

Uhuh... i hope our batsmen hold on. We should atleast reach the same level of score or get a lead of 50... good bowling performance of getting 5 wickets in 31 balls.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played Pakistan, very impressive first day performance!

You were wrong again.

You predicted SA to score 500+

Thanks.

 

[PakFan2010]

Is that end of play then?

Two overs to face.

Would it be worth it sending Umar Gul and protecting Jamshed?

 

[IMMY69]

Not watching right now, what's the light like?

 

[waqar goraya]

Number 5,6,7 will be key for us...

 

[saiyan0312]

now the real test begins... will we cheer or swear like crazy. we need an opening.

 

[adnan yasin]

it will be a test for HAFEEZ now

 

[Jo_Don]

Oh chill out. relax. we still have a total of 5 more innings to go in this series. Lets see pakistan batting. wanted to see nasir jamsheed and azhar on the big show.

Lol don't try to cover up your lack of knowledge by asking me to chill

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

Can pakistan get SA out before 250? That is the question here

253 good enough??

 

[Bullet Drive]

In my view Ajmal & gul should open the batting.
