After yesterday's dismal batting performance where Pakistan were rolled over 49, what does Day 3 have in store for the Pakistan team?

South Africa: 253 & 207/3 (Smith 52, Amla 50*, de Villiers 63*)

Pakistah: 49

The writing is on the wall...just a matter of time for the iminate defeat that awaits us!

The best result we can hope for is we make 300-400 in the second innings..would be a confidence booster, a bit like what England got vs India in the first test

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lol..

It may sound tragic or funny... to some..

but I do really hope they cross 100 this time

 

[workkey]

Very bad planning on part of PCB by sending the team just a week before test match and only one practice game.They should have gone atleast 3 weeks before

 

[Maher96]

Send 3 weeks or 3 months before.

We were never going to win test games.

 

[MenInG]

I am all set for an epic batting innings from Pak - GO Pakistan!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

How long will SA bat before declaring?

450-500 lead?

 

[JibranAnsari]

We should refuse to get out today..dharna de dein aaj pitch pe

 

[JibranAnsari]

How long will SA bat before declaring?

[mosh101]

Defeat is inevitable but let's see how long we can delay their victory celebration

[mosh101]

Our economy rates have been poor in the second innings

Lovely four by amla

[JibranAnsari]

Pathetic gul gets smacked again

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

There is nothing threatening about gul.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

why is gul always selected in the playing X1?

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL @ gul , this gus has been playing international cricket for a decade.

 

[manwidoutsoul]

what happened to junaid khan? Not bowling well or anything else?

 

[mosh101]

AB to give JK some kutt

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think the bowlers are trying to get smacked so they go back to the rest room early.

 

[mosh101]

Toying with us now

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol..junaid khan is sensational

 

[mosh101]

Hopefully they declare when both get their hundreds

 

[JibranAnsari]

Loving the batting and our ''hyped' bowlers

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Pitch looks easy for batting now.

 

[Jo_Don]

AB looking to open up, this will be great to watch if he pulls it off.

 

[mosh101]

JK continues to go over the line

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

ball again

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Look like they are demoralized.

 

[mosh101]

Pitch looks easy for batting now.

Yes indeed ! We have a chance to score 50 in 2nd innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Aamir never got smacked like that

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Umar gul is patehtic...

 

[doctordamor]

Junaid now being toyed with and shown without pace you gonna get hammered

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Aamir never got smacked like that

Harbhajan says hi.

 

[doctordamor]

17 runs from junaid over

 

[Jo_Don]

Junaid now being toyed with and shown without pace you gonna get hammered

Philander doesn't get hammered. This whole pace thing is overrated here.

 

[mosh101]

Pak women team is equally pathetic ! Bundled for 104 today

 

[doctordamor]

Harbhajan says hi.

In test matches?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

whats happening with our Bowlers...... Our pathetic batsmen have created a Huge pressure on our Bowlers..

 

[manwidoutsoul]

learning time for junaid khan this is not india this is not srilanka this is southafrica with world strongest batting lineup in test. I hope he learn quickly enough and come back strong

 

[doctordamor]

Philander doesn't get hammered. This whole pace thing is overrated here.

Pace is king dun mock pace

 

[deviously~fading~away]

4 overs for 34 runs. This is turning into spanking of a lifetime!

 

[iafzal]

JK looking so average at the moment.

 

[battler]

Junaid going at 5 rpo

 

[mosh101]

Body language looks poor out there

 

[JibranAnsari]

Harbhajan says hi.

that one shot but he was always outsmarting the batsmen and never dropped his pace to 120s

 

[mosh101]

Fuzool bouncer

 

[GreenKnightRises]

:...

 

[mosh101]

Ajju to bowl

 

[Jo_Don]

Think they'll declare with a lead of about 500, should give AB and # a chance of getting their 100.

 

[mosh101]

Ajju continues his negative line

 

[m.shah]

aamir was special it hurts to talk about him
so pity

 

[m.shah]

aamir was special it hurts to talk about him

[GreenKnightRises]

:.. ABD playing with our Bowlers..)

 

[liaqat]

getting wollpped now ,,

 

[saiyan0312]

confidence of every bowler is shattered all bcz of batsmen. 455 lead. We should grab the top players in the world and clone them and put them in our team.

 

[liaqat]

yep ab showing how good and how dangerous he is

ok let s/a batter make their runs here,

and fail missrabily in the next 2 games

 

[liaqat]

getting murdered now,

 

[saiyan0312]

ab playing with them and amla toying with them ... body language looks almost dead. Has the pitch slowed down. Seriously ajmal attack. Nothing bad can happen now.

 

[liaqat]

painfull to watch, iv turned off the tele now,

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

In test matches?

How many test matches he has won for us??

 

[Saurav]

come on get AB atleast come on

 

[saiyan0312]

I dont mind the runs and all but the body language is soo pathetic. Its like we have already iven up.

 

[liaqat]

ab playing with them and amla toying with them ... body language looks almost dead. Has the pitch slowed down. Seriously ajmal attack. Nothing bad can happen now.

i dont think they should bowl ajmal anymore

where just giving saffer practice against him,

save him now and let them murder us in this game

its been lost since 49 all out

 

[doctordamor]

i see pak setting a new lowest score record, this is crap bowling

 

[castortroy]

This is men v boys.

 

[MarkCooper]

Well, Well, Well.

Pakistan hammered England. SA hammered England. Now SA hammering Pakistan.

Conclusion: SA best side in the world by FAR.

 

[mosh101]

Get those hundreds already

 

[MenInG]

pitch has eased out
