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

[Sledger]

Azhar out to Kallis again.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Steyn runs past the Pakistani batsmen and shouts to them 'waste the referral'

 

[Sledger]

Plumb, think Younis was annoyed that he reviewed it.

 

[MRSN]

looks out

 

[Bullet Drive]

3 down now. Azhar played well but he has to go.

 

[Sledger]

Big wicket.

 

[dirk diggler]

ewasted revire that was plumb

 

[Bullet Drive]

In comes captain Misbah.

 

[doctordamor]

why review? plumb lbw playing wrong line azhar was always shaky wkt well 100 look tough now

 

[Saurav]

on fire

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gets out on a straight delivery ..

Azhar ali's approach is pathetic.

 

[ekpakistani]

this is a ridiculous .. its not great bowling its pathetic batting

 

[Osman]

awful stuff from pak

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Seems it will be over quick now.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

I knew it....a bit of aggression and our sitting ducks falter

 

[kungfu90]

Gets out on a straight delivery ..

Azhar ali's approach is pathetic.

Nipped back in.
Anyway Azhar is avg batsman but he will be good for Pak team.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar Ali har a fair streak of runs on easy pitches.. now we see his true colors.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

120 all out i reckon

 

[pak4life]

azhar on the back foot waiting for the short stuff excellent bowling by Kallis full and straight. Azhar needs to start looking more confident at the crease he always seems tense.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah has a lot of time to play the ball which is good.

 

[Nitin Tomer]

These two batsmen must take PAK to around 270 minimum.

Almost there; only 200 runs adrift

7 more to go. C'mon Saffers, annihilate them...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nipped back in.
Anyway Azhar is avg batsman but he will be good for Pak team.

Yah but he rolled his wrist too early , wasnt a threatening delivery.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar batted really well in tough conditions. Problem with him is he misses out on a lot of easy balls. This builds pressure on him.

 

[fight_club]

That's what happen when a Set batsmen throws away his wicket,

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs to YK.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Almost there; only 200 runs adrift

7 more to go. C'mon Saffers, annihilate them...

LOL , good way to heal your own wounds

 

[IAJ]

In first innings SA bowled really well but in this innings we have given away 3 wickets to them:

1) Hafeez out down the leg side
2) Jamshed soft dismissal
3) Ali played a cross batted shot to a ball that just moved in a bit, had he played straight there would have been no problems.

How will you survive in Test cricket when you give away wickets like this?

 

[MRSN]

Steyn continues

 

[Bullet Drive]

408 runs required for victory.

 

[Sledger]

Two more, good placement. Younis Khan the only player competent against a moving ball in this line up tbh.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Azhar is a cowardly batsman who may do well in UAE cannot dominate good attacks in unfriendly conditions

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK playing the bounce by Steyn well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar batted really well in tough conditions. Problem with him is he misses out on a lot of easy balls. This builds pressure on him.

tough! YAaar come on! It is good batting conditions now. You exaggerate too much.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Steyn has been bowling forever!

 

[Sledger]

Steyn telling the batsmen they're 348 behind lol.

 

[kungfu90]

is good against short ball.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

our batsmen being bullied

 

[doctordamor]

dropped?

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK almost hitting that right into Dean Elgars hands.

 

[Sledger]

It is good batting conditions now.

Better but not 'good'

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should play positive cricket now..there is nothing to lose. Score a few before the axe drops on you.

 

[doctordamor]

disappointed by azhar he gotta move up his game

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely shot by YK. 1 to him.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK is the only batsmen in our team alongside Jamshed who looks for singles.

Singles are the key to batting.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Better but not 'good'

It is coming nicely on to the bat and not much movement either..not subcontinent like but scoring can be done on a good rate.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Inside edge. It must have been.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

how good it would be to have a classy batsman in our team who could play pulls and straight drives. Our batsmen lack class.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Looked out

 

[Bullet Drive]

Review taken by Smith. Don't think its out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

It seemed like an inside edge!

 

[JibranAnsari]

looks plumb

 

[PTI tsunami]

Plum

 

[Sledger]

Umpires call, lucky.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

ahhahaahha ) )

 

[kungfu90]

saved.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

crowd is dissapointed

 

[Saurav]

oh that was so close

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not out.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

lucky younis...was pretty plumb

 

[shah_1]

umpire call

 

[JibranAnsari]

Younis survives ..was out in my book.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautiful by YK. 10 to YK.

 

[Sledger]

It is coming nicely on to the bat and not much movement either..not subcontinent like but scoring can be done on a good rate.

There's plenty of movement and its a good attack though I agree Azhar was too slow.


Four to Younis.

 

[kungfu90]

Kepler Vesseles moaning

 

[Saurav]

good point by commie.shouldnt lose a review for umpire call decision

 

[speed]

That was out 50% rule is rubbish.

 

[JibranAnsari]

what a reply by younis :4 , you ahve to play your shots here.

Don't see misbah propspering

 

[Bullet Drive]

77-3

 

[Bullet Drive]

Finally some positivity in the innings.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

That was out 50% rule is rubbish.

Agreed. That was out in my book as well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to YK. He keeps strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

5 off the over. YK moving along nicely.

 

[Bullet Drive]

78-3 after 27.

 

[doctordamor]

YK lucky to be there that should have been given out

 

[Indiafan]

That was out 50% rule is rubbish.

Why? That's the error % in H/E

 

[Pak_Lover]

Umpiring has been really awful in this match

 

[saiyan0312]

man i leave for 30 minutes and we are 3 down.... cant believe jamsheed got out, he looking soo good. couldnt get his 50.... And Azhar got out to kallis again. was not a threatening delievery according to the replays.
