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

[rballer]

Gul needs to retire

 

[adnan yasin]

First boundary of the series


Gul relasing the pressure

 

[Red Devil]

Halwa ball by Gully

 

[shah_1]

There is literally no swing from gul, hope he surprises me

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Gul has been terrible

Not full balls

 

[hur rizvi]

Rubbish bowling by Gul,

Either bowls wide outside off-stump or on the legs

 

[Digital]

Decent start..need to build some pressure..

 

[Asif321]

rahat ali should hav been given new ball

 

[zeikz123]

gul is leaking runs and the pressure... junaid is bowling nice lines but gul seems to give away all the pressure.. i do feel that whenever rahat is introduced smith is going to take him on to shake his confidence hopefully rahat does not let smith bully him

 

[RehanG]

Rahattttt should bowl now before it loses its shine

 

[adnan yasin]

the moment Junaid khan comes to bowl .. batsman look like tailenders

MAshallah

 

[shah_1]

Junaid has been special

 

[hur rizvi]

There is literally no swing from gul, hope he surprises me

We all know he cant swing the ball, worst option with the new ball

 

[Saurav]

come on Junaid

 

[Saurav]

surprised Irfan isnt playing

 

[adnan yasin]

Don't expect Junaid to get a wicket now with Gul CONSTANTLY releasing any sort of pressure built at the other end. Just gives away runs and wastes the new ball, hope he DIES

Yeah he needs support

 

[talha3]

Junaid bowling brilliantly.

 

[shah_1]

Junaid with another beauty

 

[adnan yasin]

Oh God .. please... reward this young lad for his efforts

look at this

 

[Jeetu111]

very decent movement .... both in air & off the surface but no breakthrough .if these 2 get in , there will be big trouble .

 

[adnan yasin]

Gul should be replaced on immediate basis

 

[insurge]

Don't expect Junaid to get a wicket now with Gul CONSTANTLY releasing any sort of pressure built at the other end. Just gives away runs and wastes the new ball, hope he DIES

*** is wrong with you?

 

[waqar goraya]

Time for Rahat

 

[Azlan Khan]

South Africa 13/0.

 

[shah_1]

Hopefully Rahat get to bowl with the new ball

 

[hur rizvi]

Gul should be replaced on Permanent basis

I hope he is dropped permanently from test team

 

[rballer]

Rahat Ali in

 

[Red Devil]

Rahat Ali in the Attack

 

[Jeetu111]

Relief ali on

 

[Azlan Khan]

Don't expect Junaid to get a wicket now with Gul CONSTANTLY releasing any sort of pressure built at the other end. Just gives away runs and wastes the new ball, hope he DIES

Hope he dies? Are you freaking serious?

 

[Vegitto1]

Lets see whats all the hype is about this tundler

 

[shah_1]

Let see Rahat

 

[Azlan Khan]

Rahat Ali replaces Umar Gul.

 

[hur rizvi]

Nice swing for Rahat Ali

 

[shah_1]

there was swing

 

[Vegitto1]

LOl @ the run-up.

 

[adnan yasin]

good start by rahat... little bit full though ..but nice swing

why the hell he didnt bowl the new ball

 

[Red Devil]

Gets swing stright away

 

[shah_1]

this is not quick at all

 

[Saurav]

Rahat Ali seems to have provided Rahat to the batsmen

 

[Azlan Khan]

Rahat Ali's action is a bit like Irfan Pathan.

 

[adnan yasin]

Good bouncer by rahat ali

 

[Asif321]

shaba rahat

 

[shah_1]

Quality bowl from Rahat Ali

 

[Vegitto1]

Pace not even registering - too slow i guess

 

[Digital]

No pace but decent action

 

[soso_killer]

Nkosi sikelel iAfrica..

Let us live and strive for freedom in South Africa our land!!

 

[talha3]

So far, not the pace I expected from Rahat.

 

[adnan yasin]

he is bringing the ball in quite nicely

 

[hur rizvi]

Good Natural inswing from Rahat at decent pace

135kph

 

[ScotRaz]

LOl @ the run-up.

Don't care if he was to run in like those marathon walkers, as long as he takes wickets!

 

[shah_1]

at least he creating more problem than pussdozer

 

[karachiite]

So waqar wasn't lying about the lack of pace

 

[waqar goraya]

Younis Khan can utilise this conditions better than Gul

 

[Vegitto1]

OMG - we are playing an Indian Bowler!!!

 

[The Cornered Tigers]

Don't expect Junaid to get a wicket now with Gul CONSTANTLY releasing any sort of pressure built at the other end. Just gives away runs and wastes the new ball, hope he DIES

Gul is someone's son, brother, husband and yet you wish death upon him because he got hit for a four. You are a pathetic piece of work who needs a timeout at the least. How old are you?

 

[MILLIONAIRE]

Sure Rahat is Pakistani?

Seems like Indian!

 

[Pak_Lover]

I thought Rahat was something special...Irfan or ehsan could have been better choices

 

[hur rizvi]

Decent 1st over from Rahat

 

[Azlan Khan]

Good first over. South Africa 16/0.

 

[adnan yasin]

16/0 in 9 overs

Decent effort by rahat ali first up

 

[shah_1]

Good over from Rahat Ali

 

[Vegitto1]

No follow through either - too raw for test cricket

 

[CalculatedRisk]

natural strong bowler...i like rahat

 

[waqar goraya]

OMG - we are playing an Indian Bowler!!!

Not really..Indians are normally 125,Rahat is around 135

 

[Asif321]

rahat ali pace has dropped i think .. he was more quick then 136

 

[shah_1]

Junaid Khan has been level apart from two bowlers

 

[adnan yasin]

is junaid khan setting perterson up now .. by bowling 2 outside off

 

[sali]

Wow. Rahat was prefered over Irfan! I am totally surprised after seeing him first time. A 15 over day (5 overs per session) would have have been worth while.

 

[shah_1]

Give break to Rahat ali, you bloody haters


He has just bowled one over

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Come on junaid!

 

[Azlan Khan]

Outside edge, safe.

 

[Red Devil]

gREAT bALL

 

[RehanG]

Don't expect Junaid to get a wicket now with Gul CONSTANTLY releasing any sort of pressure built at the other end. Just gives away runs and wastes the new ball, hope he DIES

you can dislike him but why would you say this ?

 

[adnan yasin]

ooooooh ... beauty by junaid khan

 

[ScotRaz]

Looks like we will have to utilise Gul as a lower end batsman who can hold a bat and bowl a bit. Waste.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid unlucky

deserves atleast one edge from peterson

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Juniad deserves a wicket here. Superb bowling.

 

[Digital]

No follow through either - too raw for test cricket

Is there a way to block this troll's message ???

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

No edge there.
