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

[Jeetu111]

hafiz out .... my innings score prediction is 260 btw .

 

[pak4life]

here comes azhar ali the best fisher around!

 

[Munna]

and there comes mike haysman and his mean comments for the opponent

 

[kungfu90]

Too good a delivery for Hafeez. He deserved a wicket.

 

[akamaka]

flat track,Shoaib?

that was swing. Has nothing to do with pitch.

 

[Badsha]

This will be an interesting test for a batsman I rate. We usually plays well against Pace bowling Azhar but Steyn is on fire here.

 

[MattyB]

Steyn and Philander swinging the ball well, this is where the Pakistani batsmen need to stand up and prove themselves.

 

[adnan yasin]

u can see hafeez off and middle stump .. no movement nothing

it was usual tentative start by hafeez ...and he couldnt survive against this attack ..

 

[ReluctantT]

Steyn looks pumped up lol. Worrying for Pakistan.

Misbah will blunt Steyn.

 

[talha3]

Yesterday he came out to negotiate the swing, today he just stood there and poked at it and bye bye.

You can't come out to negotiate the swing against Steyn.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar off the mark. 2 to him.

 

[shah_1]

I tell you what, this guy has no foot movement against moving ball, a very very mediocre opener outside Asia

 

[Boi]

Just need to get through till Lunch without too much damage somehow...

 

[Asif321]

hope we get 230 atleast

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jamshed to face Philander now. Uh-oh.

 

[Munna]

fending to the ball and keeping the bat high in the air vertically

 

[adnan yasin]

11/1

 

[badxhah]

things back to normal losing opener early on

why is there no smily of professor hafeez

 

[Pak_Lover]

Nasir will score 100 In sha Allah

 

[IAJ]

It was a brilliant delivery. There's no need to bash Hafeez.

Lols, what else did you expect from Steyn? But Junaid bowled also many good deliveries yesterday but their openers showed some footwork and he just stood there and poked at it. Had he moved his feet a bit he could have negotiated it.

 

[taqi]

i think ball before the wicket done Hafeez

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez's technique is very very bad against swing. Needs to keep his bat in front of body when defending.

 

[Munna]

review coming up i reckon!

 

[shah_1]

hopefully Nasir Jamshed does well

 

[IAJ]

review time.

 

[adnan yasin]

[taqi]

[Jeetu111]

[akamaka]

phewww , one review gone, great umpiring

 

[JibranAnsari]

Jamshed falling away due to his weight

 

[iafzal]

Nasir's pad look too loose on the bottom

 

[PakPosheeda]

After that review, it looks like Saffies are not even used to their own bounce

 

[shah_1]

missing the stump

 

[taqi]

they need to rotate strike and azhar is not good at

 

[Mini786]

Funny how they noticed the tiny tiny speck of white on hotspot today but not the much bigger mark yesterday that wasn't given. But I guess Pakistan must be used to this kind of stuff by now.... unfortunately

 

[MarkCooper]

We just faced these bowlers in England and boy oh boy they are good.

 

[Bullet Drive]

12-1. Need to get through this next hour without any wicket. Will get a lot easier then.

 

[ReluctantT]

Hawkeye manipulated. Looks like operator is from Karachi.

 

[MarkCooper]

This looks OUT

 

[Jeetu111]

2 down

 

[adnan yasin]

[shah_1]

wasted review

 

[taqi]

in trouble big time

 

[talha3]

This...is...tough

 

[CalculatedRisk]

and pper were talking about a lead. Pak will do well to make more than 100

 

[Badsha]

These aren't test batsmen but Steyn is bowling beautifully! World class bowling

 

[JibranAnsari]

Play on backfoot and get out. Horrible technique of playing swing.

 

[iafzal]

kar lo gal

 

[shah_1]

Steyn on fire

 

[adnan yasin]

bad review.. i thought jamshed saying i hit the bat

 

[JustAnotherFan]

NJ was in my fantasy team

 

[Bullet Drive]

12-2.

 

[Sherlock]

Great start this by Pakistan

 

[PakPosheeda]

We're screwed. These are ridiculous conditions. Who would've survived this kinda bowling?
