too early to say that .. wait till India tours SA later this year ..

I can assure you doesn't matter how bad india gets they will always top this batting display. Im huge pakistani fan and been accused of being anti-india with justification, but Indian batting line up doesn't matter who and where will always do better then this

 

[Red Devil]

That was brutal yar Steyn just demolished our batting.

 

[Asif321]

this is our lowest ever score wht a humilation

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

no follow on??

bad bad SAA, you just missed the trick here?

 

[IAJ]

Conditions haven't change so let' see what our world class bowlers can do on this wicket.

 

[yasir]

I cann't remember a fast bowler (past or present) who had such a good out swinger with so much control at great speed... One of the all time great fast bowler Dale Steyn!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

What's going on..

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan got out so fast that even Cricinfo could not update their front page, they are still showing pics from yesterday. That is so bad, we are even worse than NZ, is that true?

 

[Jeetu111]

South Africa 253
Pakistan 49/10 (29.1 ov)

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dammit we can't win by an innings now

 

[TM Riddle]

gotta admire the optimism of some people here ..but seriously this game is over for Pakistan.

 

[mosh101]

Really poor show by our batsmen ! No fight whatsoever

 

[MoinHaroon]

SA is not going to enforce follow on, that is good otherwise first test would have been over in 2 days

 

[sali]

Timid batting line up. Where are guys like Zaheer, Minadad, Mohsin, Saeed, Inzi and Yohana..... ?

 

[MoinHaroon]

Dammit we can't win by an innings now

lOl

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SA will now try to crush us further. They will bat aggresively and look to get at least 350.

 

[tarrar]

I think we are going to see this match ending today & a complete humiliation for Pak team.

 

[mosh101]

gotta admire the optimism of some people here ..but seriously this game is over for Pakistan.

Yup you're right ! Only question remains how long we can hold the saffers celebration !!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Goodness me. What a bad day

 

[sali]

I cann't remember a fast bowler (past or present) who had such a good out swinger with so much control at great speed... One of the all time great fast bowler Dale Steyn!!!

Watch Dennis Lille's and Richard Hadely's videos

 

[Bullet Drive]

Are we following on or not?

 

[sada90]

follow on it is boys

 

[tarrar]

All the players edging the bowl, it is a clear proof that Pak batsmen were unable to pick up the swing & lethal pace attack.

 

[hhhhdmt]

are they going to enforce the follow on?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Watching PAK bat today felt like watching highlights.

 

[manwidoutsoul]

newzealand 45, australia 47, pakistan 49 who is better ? haha

 

[Bullet Drive]

SA have not decided to enforce follow on

 

[mosh101]

Sikhandar Bakht Firing the team on Geo right now

 

[MoinHaroon]

By batting again SA is going to give us all hope that we can still win the match. Amazing we are all so hopeful

 

[Red Devil]

SA choose not to enforce Follow on

 

[sali]

NO follow on? May be SA still think that they don't want to bat on 5th day?????? Crazy. They can get this Pak team out 4 times in 250 runs.

 

[tarrar]

Ok! so no follow on. So Pak players have one more day left before the humiliated defeat in the first test match.

 

[Red Devil]

By batting again SA is going to give us all hope that we can still win the match. Amazing we are all so hopeful

Don't get your hopes high. LOL

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please give Rahat the new ball.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Pretty surprising that Smith didn't enforce follow on.

It's Pak's only (tiny) chance to get a draw.

I think SA should have enforced the follow on. It's not like Pak would get 300+ in the 2nd dig. And even if the cracks on the pitch widen, they wouldn't have much to chase.

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

my prediction is gul and rahat will get hammered, unless they have something special to show

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK will win

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bloody hell Gul to start. Rahat & Junaid should have.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Why would they bat again, they need batting practice

 

[Asif321]

pakistan can only have chance now if they dismiss SA for 70-80

 

[tarrar]

If in this inning Pak bowlers are unable to swing the bowl then to hell with this sucker pace attack. Umer Gul

 

[Bullet Drive]

Gul will be running in at 130kph now #SAvsPAK

 

[Red Devil]

Here come Gully to bowl his straight arrow like balls

 

[PakPosheeda]

Guls sucks!! Cant swing to save his life!!

Hafeez should've started off!

 

[MoinHaroon]

Don't get your hopes high. LOL

We all believe

 

[supersix]

All of a sudden its a flat pitch for Gul...

 

[Bullet Drive]

No swing at all.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez should bowl to Smith.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Perhaps Smith intends to bat for most of the day, then give his bowlers 5 overs at the end of the day against Pak.

 

[MJcricket]

SA is not going to enforce follow on, that is good otherwise first test would have been over in 2 days

If Pakistan agrees to play back to back tests, they can be done with the test series in 5 days and then they can go back to Pakistan and relax and enjoy.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Gull needs to be dropped off

 

[JibranAnsari]

look at now substandard bowling of gul

 

[MoinHaroon]

Why not start with Junaid

 

[Bullet Drive]

Gul bowling short again.

 

[Saurav]

wth?SA batting?

 

[sali]

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

 

[yasir]

Look at the length of Gul's first ball... Why cann't he pitch fuller??? - This is just wasting the new ball

 

[JibranAnsari]

GUl can't swing an inch

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Gul's bowling looks pedestrian after Steyn.

 

[Bullet Drive]

No swing or seam movement at all for Gul.

 

[hur rizvi]

gUL :FACEPALM:

10 years of experience and he still cant swing the ball

 

[Junaids]

It's good for Pakistan that South Africa didn't enforce the follow-on.

Because SA will now bat into Day 3, which means that one day of rain could actually save Pakistan.

BTW, no hate for the selectors please. Blame whoever chose not to arrive in December and prepare.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Just come out and play on front foot

 

[mosh101]

We cant swing the ball at all

 

[Bullet Drive]

Gul looks as good as Collingwood heere.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

gul hasnt got a wicket in his first over, what you doing gullay, start fingering the ball better

 

[MarkCooper]

Why ball suddenly stop swinging????

 

[CalculatedRisk]

the ball just stopped swinging. How pathetic is Gul!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pitch the ball full!

 

[MoinHaroon]

Nothing for Gul, no swing nothing

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol , wasting the new ball again

 

[tarrar]

pakistan can only have chance now if they dismiss SA for 70-80

No chance you are dreaming, Pak bowlers can't swing the bowl any more. Mohammed Akram just enjoying the trip to SA nothing else & this man kill him.

 

[akamaka]

ball doing absolutely nothing for gul

 

[Asif321]

bowl with rahat and Juni ......

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK will get SA out under 100.. we will then chase 300. YK to score a ton.

 

[speed]

Finally a fuller ball and a hint of swing.

 

[hur rizvi]

Gul surely knows the best ways to waste the new ball
