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

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistani fielders are allowing the South Africans to rotate the strike. Pressure released.

 

[shah_1]

Junaid Khan being compared to Wasim Akram

 

[hur rizvi]

Need to stop these singles...

 

[Muddaser]

prediction time folks - saf win or draw ?
41/0 & no ajmal

India 1 - 2 Pakistan.

 

[Saj]

Junaid has been different class and has been unlucky several times.

The Pakistani bowling in general though has been too short.

 

[James]

sorry i am not posh enough for your standards.....but seriously do u really think i care what u think?

No issue of 'poshness' here, just your fickleness, absence of cricket knowledge, and profound lack of intelligence which are evident from your consistently rubbish contributions to PakPassion. Good luck to you anyway.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Easy single on the leg side. No fielder there.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gul bowling too short.

 

[Vegitto1]

what a defensive field set!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Gonna be a long day ..

 

[talha3]

Comparing Junaid and Wasims stats

 

[shah_1]

Gul and Rahat have been plain boring

**DUDS**

 

[James]

Sorry, I would be posting more regularly but it's proving difficult to wade through these rivers of blood that have already been created by the first morning wrist slitting...

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid needs support from other end which he hasnt got..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Time for some spin in my view.

 

[shah_1]

very defensive field placement

 

[sali]

Another overhyped bowler gets exposed. Like we kept Junaid out of the WC and now we missed Irfan factor. Selectors should take care of Misbah for asking for Rahat and playing him ahead of their 3 picks.

 

[Azlan Khan]

South Africa 46/0.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid going round the wicket now.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid going around the wkt

 

[adnan yasin]

except junaid khan .. no other bowler is looking like even getting close to get a wicket

[Vegitto1]

Years of experience of watching Pakistan cricket.

We run on confidence. No wicket so far results in drop shoulders, misfields

 

[shah_1]

Junaid Khan

 

[talha3]

Great stuff Junaid. Deserved it.

 

[hur rizvi]

boy oh boy juni deserved that wicket

 

[A-1]

Junaid strikes

 

[khan_a]

much deserved for junaid great bowling

 

[Vegitto1]

Yes JK!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant from Junaid

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gone.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Junaid ki :AAG

 

[shah_1]

you beauty

 

[Bullet Drive]

Need to get Amla early now. Junaid will get him.

 

[akamaka]

YES

 

[Azlan Khan]

Junaid Khan strikes, South Africa 46/1.

 

[Vegitto1]

Baap aa gaya!

 

[Jo_Don]

Petersen goes, bring on the #.

 

[FerozShahKotla2005]

They need to bowl fuller, and they have to have a fielder closer in to stop these singles. The run-rate is creeping towards three and relieving the pressure.

Now that we have a breakthrough, we need to absolutely pile on the pressure, keep Amla on strike and have Junaid bowl at him uninterrupted.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amla tends to score big during the first game of the series.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Junaid has bowled so well.

Looks far better then Rahat and Gul

Deserved that wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah must bring up the fielders now. Don't let Amla easy singles.

 

[Bullet Drive]

140kph

 

[James]

Deserved wicket for Pakistan, have stuck to the task and maintained their confidence. Now you guys start doing the same! lol

 

[Grunge101]

Squared him up...Junaid on fire

 

[speed]

140k

 

[Bullet Drive]

Absolute beauty by Junaid. 140kph again

 

[shah_1]

Junaid with pace

 

[Muddaser]

Finally a wicket.

Hopefully provide confidence to the other bowlers.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I reckon Pakistan will get SA out under 230. Pak will win this test.

 

[Vegitto1]

Steep bounce = Irfan!!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wicket maiden by Junaid - brilliant

 

[Pak_Lover]

Ideal time for Hafeez to bowl to Smith

 

[karachiite]

I reckon Pakistan will get SA out under 230. Pak will win this test.

Lol. Love what a wicket does to the level of optimism.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Wicket maiden by Junaid. South Africa 46/1.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Keen to see Ajmal bowl.

 

[hur rizvi]

Wicket maiden from junaid..


Amla already looking solid. What a player

 

[Bullet Drive]

[akamaka]

Junaids figures are just amazing 8 overs 5 runs 1 wicket

 

[talha3]

Yes Gul!!!!

 

[waqar goraya]
