South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Johannesburg | 2/2/13 | Day 3

[JibranAnsari]

If ever there was a incompetent lot to represent Pakistan it's this.

remember 53 , 59 on a flat deck of uae?

 

[Cricketismylife]

Said it before but we won't pass 250 this test series

I agree.

 

[Osman]

yk being called a FTB indirectly

 

[Bhaijaan]

LOL that was a no ball.

 

[Noman]

82 for four ..... Jamsheed only one who looked fully comfortable. cant believe he threw it away with that shot.

Jamshed should not have played that shot.. was looking good and playing really well..

 

[dirk diggler]

thats graphic of YKs recent dismissals graphic tells a story, Paks greatest, wat a joke

 

[mosh101]

Bench strength is crap too. Have to live with this crap lot for the next two games as well.

 

[doctordamor]

the beehive of YK dismissal are damning for someone who has played for so long, now YK is one great FTB

 

[Cricketismylife]

remember 53 , 59 on a flat deck of uae?

agreed.

batsmen are young so learning curve and all that.

v poor temperaments displayed so far - which is the main worry.

 

[Osman]

what a bunch of drips this team is....cowards and timid...so much for kamran abbasi calling this team the most resolute bunch to visit these shores...the 2007 line up was way better

 

[Noman]

Time for Younis Khan to retire.. he is just not good enuf these days.

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq had no idea about it.... totally beaten.

 

[mosh101]

remember 53 , 59 on a flat deck of uae?

Jee bilkul

 

[cricketpassion]

That was a no ball ffs.

Agree, front line belong to Umpire and his foot was on line

 

[Sledger]

So replays confirm Younis was out to a no ball. Steve Davis is a moron.

 

[Osman]

that was a no-ball however

 

[doctordamor]

yk being called a FTB indirectly

I don't understand why his fans don't recognize it YK always was and will remain FTB

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Younis as always loves fishing too much...Mohammad Yousuf atleast looked class act in the crease and was not a fisher..

Yousuf was worse than yk in overseas.

 

[Sledger]

How can you be such an idiotic umpire? Doctrove standards here.

 

[OZGOD]

Misbah is prepared to block till stumps. 282 more deliveries to block.

 

[dirk diggler]

clear NO BALL!!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

that was a no ball

 

[Bhaijaan]

The line belongs to DRS.

 

[saiyan0312]

that was a no ball but with that indecisiveness yk deserved to get out.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Commentator justifying that it wasn't a non ball

 

[Sledger]

Ramiz as usual can just nod his head: "It was a very close thing indeed"

smh.

 

[MRSN]

not much behind the line...should have been a no ball

 

[Asif321]

another decision against Pakistan clear No ball

 

[Osman]

I don't understand why his fans don't recognize it YK always was and will remain FTB

no he isnt...i am a fan ... at u

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4

 

[doctordamor]

thats not a no ball his foot landed behind the line and the slid over

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL steve davis checks the replay and still can't see the no ball.Is he drunk or what?

 

[mosh101]

Four down legside

 

[Sledger]

Haysman blind as a bat.

 

[Cricketismylife]

i always thought if you land and then slide thats alright.

Remember Brett Lee slipping a big chunk on a dismissal once.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Anyway, YK was still fortunate to be there as the earlier lbw call was fair that the South Africans didn't get in their favour.

 

[Saurav]

That was a no ball ffs.

very close,just like the decision he survived against Kallis

 

[dirk diggler]

haysman defending the undefensible, rameez bit shy of saying that was a blatant no ball!

 

[saiyan0312]

i dont get it you refer it to the third umpire and he still gives it out on a no ball.... now this is just crap. and the moron commentator is saying its not. Davis should be removed bcz of this.

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq looking a lot better than I thought he would against Morkel thus far. Will be tested by swing more though, Steyn etc.

 

[JibranAnsari]

good batting by shafiq

 

[Cricketismylife]

Ramiz as usual can just nod his head: "It was a very close thing indeed"

smh.

to be fair he was saying it was 50-50- could easily have been a no ball. the other guy saying its defo alright.

 

[Saurav]

come on Shafiq

 

[MRSN]

Misbah still to get off the mark..

 

[Sledger]

i always thought if you land and then slide thats alright.

Remember Brett Lee slipping a big chunk on a dismissal once.

He landed on the line and went forward, you need to be behind the line for it to be legal. Was a clear no ball.

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by uncle

 

[doctordamor]

no he isnt...i am a fan ... at u

mate i can show u his innings he only comes good when conditions are good for batting just like Yosef. Take e.g eng series ok? when ball was doing something he got out cheaply in 2 tests and 1st inning of 3rd test, when pitch has eased out perfect batting conditioons he came good. Same with Yosef.

 

[JibranAnsari]

batting has been on the receiving end of davis's alcohol this match.

 

[saiyan0312]

haysman defending the undefensible, rameez bit shy of saying that was a blatant no ball!

Seriously times like this wont mind shastri......

 

[Sledger]

Misbah off the mark after about 50 overs of batting.

 

[mosh101]

Jiyee misbahh

 

[yasir]

Younis Khan's dismissal pitch map against seamers... 2/3 of those balls he should have left (way wide of the stumps)... That's sad for the best batsmen of our side... There is a reason we are such a poor batting unit...

 

[Nitin Tomer]

100 looks very much possible now...

 

[dirk diggler]

to be fair he was saying it was 50-50- could easily have been a no ball. the other guy saying its defo alright.

not 50/50 more like 95/5, no part of the heel was behind the line

 

[JibranAnsari]

: one single please

 

[mosh101]

This a goodbye tour for many players in the squad

 

[ekpakistani]

46.3 overs to go for today. . hopefully we won't lose today ... that will certainly annoy saffers

 

[saiyan0312]

Wow the third umpire sucked but good shots by shafiq

 

[pak4life]

Younis khan needs to start taking his cricket seriously as the most senior bastman his performances lately have been pathetic.

 

[mosh101]

Edge and safe

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Shafiq seems to be in a positive frame of mind

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

edge ...shafiq saved there.

 

[dirk diggler]

it'd be nice if misbah could break the record for most tuq balls in a innings.

 

[Saurav]

standing too far back maybe

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq certainly can't play fat bowling well. He is clearly very late in responding.

 

[battler]

I think if u land ur foot inside the line initially and then slide it forward,it will be considered a legit delivery.
I am not seeing the match currently so cannot say if that exactly is the case.
But if that is the case then it is a legit delivery as I have seen this happening before.

 

[saiyan0312]

morkel is pissed.

 

[Cricketismylife]

He landed on the line and went forward, you need to be behind the line for it to be legal. Was a clear no ball.

there were 2 different balls.

the wicket ball- he had a tiny bit behind the line. so fair.

another ball - he slid a tiny bit foreward.

Somehow they showed both replays together after the dismissal had been cleared etc.
COnfusing everyone

 

[MRSN]

Misbah off the mark after about 50 overs of batting.

) something never changes..

 

[IAJ]

I am already looking forward to LOIs. mmad

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 by shafiq

 

[doctordamor]

This a goodbye tour for many players in the squad

YK Rahat who else? Hafeez gonna suck big time outside subcont so who will be captain if we remove misbah?

 

[IAJ]

Lovely shot by shafiq

 

[Sledger]

What a shot by Shafiq.

 

[MRSN]

lovely flick

 

[saiyan0312]

nice shot by shafiq.... i think he wants to show africans that they cant count him out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

:4

 

[Saurav]

what a shot by Shafiq

 

[DOOSRA95]

I do not think in 21st century no country will go with out playing test for 6 months and then expect to come to a country like SA on the bouncy tracks and pick a bat up and start scoring centuries and those six month to play in your domestic cricket which is the worst ever structure to have some batting display if some one Imran Fartaht can score triple ton then you know it is a diabolical system!

Some one like Mike hays men and pommi Embangwa to insinuate YK is a FTB well these third rate commentators i take their comments with a pinch of salt and they never were on a cricket field.

Look at Keppler Wessele who is a very Mediocre cricketer for Australia used to quake in his boots against the quick's in his home condition as a player in 1980's, these are just num nuts , let pakistan play every 18 months home and away in South Africa then see What happens?
