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

[ekpakistani]

Smith followed on because its his 100th test ... he will be aggressive with his batting

 

[IAJ]

Umar Gul should pitch the ball further up

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Proteas were instructed to not finish the game in 2 days i.e. people must come back tomorrow for the 3rd day. So they don't ask for their money back on the tickets.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Why ball suddenly stop swinging????

Batsmen know how to bat buddy, Pakistani were in negative mindset, they should look to score not block every ball

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pace 133kph
swing no
seam no

 

[Bilal7]

What the hell was that?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid to Smith now.

 

[MJcricket]

Bring Hafeez and Junaid now. Forget Rahat...he is like Farhat without F.

They could instead bring Rahet Fateh Ali Khan

 

[Bullet Drive]

I think Rahat should go ahead of Gul.

 

[Dotfrank]

Gul bowling straight.

 

[PakPosheeda]

From Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib and even Asif.....Gul has considerably lowered the standard of Pakistani pace. We're used to seeing swing-less mediocre bowling now.

 

[mosh101]

No ball

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Some swing for Khan.

 

[Saurav]

come on Junaid

 

[MoinHaroon]

no ball, what the heck

 

[Bullet Drive]

See Junaid gets swing!

 

[MoinHaroon]

They could instead bring Rahet Fateh Ali Khan

at least he is good at what he does

 

[mosh101]

No Pace, No Swing ! And apparently we have the best pace attack

 

[hur rizvi]

Bit of swing for Juni

no ball

Juni should bowl a bit fuller in this innings

 

[Indiafan]

First ball of second over a no ball. Hmm

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

SA 205/0.

Junaid looking good.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Shabash Shabash !! please do not get them out otherwise I have to bat. Sarfraz saying

 

[Kianig89]

get 4 slips Misbah....what is he thinking

 

[MoinHaroon]

Gully does not belong here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty by Junaid.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan got out in 27 overs?

 

[PakPosheeda]

Junaid looking much better than Gul already. I still think Hafeez should've been given the new ball.

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid khan first ball vs India in Cheenai odi was No ball
now first ball in this inning no ball again

 

[tarrar]

In this Pak pace attack Junaid Khan is the best.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty

 

[PakPosheeda]

Smith is just as clueless on his own tracks.

 

[Red Devil]

"To show some goodwill to Pakistan SA should open the bowling in Pakistan's second innings with Robin Peterson and Hashim Amla." Johan Struwig:

 

[supersix]

Gul to take off the pressure now...

 

[MoinHaroon]

Gully needs to ball better come on guly

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid is special. He looks better than Gul already.

 

[MoinHaroon]

It is new ball use the seam

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please Gul don't bowl. Please please give Rahat the new ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat is a new ball bowler whereas Gul is an old ball bowler. Gul gets the new ball, Rahat gets the old ball.

 

[Asif321]

give this ball to rahat use him now misbah plz

 

[MoinHaroon]

he is batting out of his crease

 

[Red Devil]

Give the ball to Hafeez

 

[MJcricket]

Smith is just as clueless on his own tracks.

That's the reason they are batting, to get get used to Pakistan's bowlers.

 

[MoinHaroon]

take singles like this Misbah learn something

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zero pace, swing & seam movement from Gul.

 

[akamaka]

gul has so far not shown anything with the ball.

 

[mosh101]

Gul wasting the new ball

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Yeah, Gul doesn't look effective. Get Rahat on or Hafeez.

 

[supersix]

133kph+no swing+no seam= AWFUL

 

[MoinHaroon]

Come gul is uselese

 

[dhump]

Ball is not doing anything like it was few overs ago.

 

[tarrar]

Umer Gul not at all threatening, only JK is dangerous.

 

[Saurav]

this is boring.Pak should have batted

 

[mosh101]

Boundary for smith

 

[MoinHaroon]

Bring in Basit if you play him let him ball

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Four.

Bad ball Gul.

 

[dhump]

 

[ekpakistani]

why on earth is gul bowling on leg to Smith ????????????????????

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan batsmen did not play positive, that is all

 

[m.shah]

gul is pak worst bowler on the tour

 

[Friend786]

bowl it full gul!!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why is Gul bowling on Smiths pads?

 

[adnan yasin]

bad decision .. no matter what the condition is ... umar gul is a waste while bowling new ball... HAFEEZ should bowl the new ball ..

he can take wicket as well ... Stop treating him as under raTED bowler in test cricket .. south africa is still perplexd how to play him

 

[MoinHaroon]

why on earth is gul bowling on leg to Smith ????????????????????

why the hell is Gul balling?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Seeing all this great fast bowling makes me miss Amir and Asif even more.

 

[yasir]

After seeing Styen Gul looks like a club bowler, no swing, no seam, cann't bowl full... No wonder he has avg of 33...

 

[PakPosheeda]

South African to be 19 all out

Sir Umar Gul to take 9/9

 

[Jeetu111]

Follow-on was not introduced because Smith does not want test to be finished on day 2 which happens to be a Saturday . your predictions for Saf 2nd innings score ? me thinks 191 all out .

 

[castortroy]

Difference between gul and steyn is nearly as wide as the two batting line ups

 

[liaqat]

this game his only been prolonged by smith,

if pak batted again i believe they would have folded for 70-80

 

[Bullet Drive]

Thank GOD Gul's over has finished.

 

[RehanG]

Difference between gul and steyn is nearly as wide as the two batting line ups

Haha good one

 

[PakPosheeda]

After seeing Styen Gul looks like a club bowler, no swing, no seam, cann't bowl full... No wonder he has avg of 33...

He must have some compromising pictures of Misbah and the selectors.

 

[saad1024]

"To show some goodwill to Pakistan SA should open the bowling in Pakistan's second innings with Robin Peterson and Hashim Amla." Johan Struwig:

) ) They'll still do better than Gul!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Junaid also isn't much effective but gul is horrible.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

surprisingly hafeez not bowling yet, smith obv fancies a century here on his 100th test

 

[liaqat]

again their openers look much more solid then ours, and leaving the ball better

 

[MoinHaroon]

Smith is playing for practice, they know that they can get Pakistan out for 150

 

[akamaka]

junaid needs to pitch it fuller, learn from steyn and co

 

[liaqat]

south africa are having fun here now,


not bothered at all with the bowling

 

[mosh101]

Remove gul
