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

[Square Drive]

Another wicket to fall before they cross 120.

 

[JibranAnsari]

MARK MY WORDS. South Africa won't cross 200.

My prediction.. tomorrow will be sunday

 

[the Great Khan]

All i ask isfor a fightback..ww know the match is lost but any kind of fight will be good..

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Poor shot by kallis that

Well the shot was poor because he didn't read the spin correctly, could have gone for six if Ajmal didn't spin it that much.

 

[Fire Bird]

Pak fihgting back with 3 wickets. Watch out now. SA could be bowled for 175-200

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

If younis doesn't contribute in the 2nd innings than there is no way we stands a chance.

 

[mosh101]

Perfect time for a gul-dozer

 

[Square Drive]

Good shot,

 

[mosh101]

Boundary to AB

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal over the wicket to these two would be a nice contest.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Mark my words: Mark my words.

 

[Square Drive]

Be right back. Gonna go pray Fajr.

 

[tarrar]

So lets say if Pakistan is chasing 350, then how should Pak batsmen play?

I say they need to attack the bowlers rather than allowing them to attack.

 

[mosh101]

Lead by 307

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amla has such quick hands.

 

[imshally81]

wicket coming soon

 

[Square Drive]

Has Rahat bowled well so far in this innings?

 

[Bullet Drive]

This leg side line is so frustrating by Ajmal. How can he pick up wickets.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Has Rahat bowled well so far in this innings?

Bowled poorly.

 

[tarrar]

Ajmal needs to bowl a lot of dosras to trouble the batsmen.

 

[Square Drive]

Can Gul bowl a couple more overs in this spell?

 

[Square Drive]

Bowled poorly.

I see. Ajmal may have to bowl more overs, then.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid Khan is back on.

 

[Square Drive]

Junaid to bowl.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amla smashed Junaid

 

[the Great Khan]

Mark my words we wont win this match

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by bio amla.

 

[mosh101]

JK smashed for four

 

[Square Drive]

And good shot first ball for four.

 

[Square Drive]

:4 by bio amla.

)

 

[JibranAnsari]

Any chance of 3 days of rain

 

[Sledger]

Pollock is 100% right about this around the wicket stuff. What is this obsession?

 

[Square Drive]

Ooooh, close. Junaid should come over the wicket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

there was a faint edge ?

 

[mosh101]

Amla dealing in boundaries

 

[Square Drive]

Beautiful shot.

:4

 

[manwidoutsoul]

A long mail from Talha on cricinfo: "People just don't seem to understand..it's not about the temperament, the mentality, the practice or any other euphemism of some immaterial quality. It's the tangible - the technique and the armor of shots - which are and always have been Pakistan's problem against quality bowling. Neither our uber-calm captain nor the team management nor the tv experts have seemed to read this problem for what's been ages now. There's so much talk about patience and practice and nothing about bat-and-pad, where to put your front foot and how to apply power. That's where real work comes in and where you need a batting coach. No hardline technical stuff and you end up hailing players like Azhar Ali as your knight in shining armor, mistaking their inability to play shots for 'patience'."

 

[tarrar]

Where are Ajmals dosras??

 

[JibranAnsari]

30 overs remaining in the day, pakistan should get two more today

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Why saeed ajnal is bowling over the wicket??

 

[tarrar]

4!!!

 

[Sledger]

Pathetic ball.

 

[mosh101]

Ajmal bowling crap ! No confidence to bowl over the wicket AT ALL.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmal bowling crap..why..why not coming over the wicket

 

[Sledger]

Great shot this time, Ajmal expensive.

 

[tarrar]

Four!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

pathetic defensive bowling by ajmal.

 

[mosh101]

Spanked again for four

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmal does not seem like number 1 at all.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

please tell me why ajmal is only bowling from over the wicket??

 

[mosh101]

Bring in younus khan

 

[alberto]

Hafeez should bowl more.

 

[Jeetu111]

328/3 .... 70 more & its about 100 too many imo .

 

[JibranAnsari]

please tell me why ajmal is only bowling from over the wicket??

he is bowling round the wicket

 

[Square Drive]

Ajmal should either be replaced by Rahat/Younus, or he should bowl over the wicket.

 

[mosh101]

330 is sufficient ! Declare please.

 

[alberto]

Who should play: Tanvir, Irfan or Ehsan?

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal bowling on leg.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Frustrating to watch ajmal today

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

he is bowling round the wicket

ok

 

[mosh101]

AB needs to smack ajju for six

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

I think one thing we should learn from all this is that we can say bye bye to our 'experienced' players, they're no use to us and make no difference at all.
E.g younus, misbah e.t.c

 

[alberto]

Skill level of SA bowlers is higher says Kepler.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ajmal bowling negative line still going over 4 an over..kiss aqalmand nein mashwara dia hai

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

I had hopes from ajmal. SA make our bowlers look pretty average, considering how our bowlers played vs England, India, Sri Lanka, Australia. Bowling isn't bad, or we would have failed against every other team. It's just SA batting is really good, and out batsman can't facilitate themselves let alone the team.

 

[alberto]

I predicted before the series that this will be the end of Misbah.

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

I say bring hafeez with AB there

 

[alberto]

Weird shot by AB!

 

[Jeetu111]

Ajmal bowling negative line still going over 4 an over..kiss aqalmand nein mashwara dia hai

sabko aapke jaise salahkaar kahaan Jibra


340/3-dec at lunch kal imo .

 

[alberto]

Riaz we need your reverse swing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan no match for Sa

 

[mosh101]

Ball doing absolutely nothing for us

 

[Square Drive]

Junaid should try a yorker.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Regular trundling by junaid

 

[Justcrazy]

The problem is pakistan batting , not bowling , this is not a 49 all out pitch.

 

[Square Drive]

Rahat should replace Ajmal.

 

[mosh101]

Finally he comes over the wicket

 

[alberto]

If we are losing 2-0, then Ehsan deserves a game.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA have enough lead to get pakistan out twice again.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

AB needs to smack ajju for six

Amla listened.
