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

[Akmal Dynasty]

Kepler Vesseles moaning

did he moan when the 3rd umpire screwed us?

 

[rockers2012]

so younis khan is crap as usual

 

[IMMY69]

This umpires call thing is a bit of a bugger. It all comes down to the infield umpires call. Smith against Junaid in the first innings was also not given by infield umpire, though not referred, replays showed ball hitting top of middle but would have stood with umpires call... So really it's down to the field umpires, the less they give the less likely they'll be overturned. In this situation you just have to hope for consistency

 

[Noman]

We need 2 big centuries. Younis, Misbah need to score now.. Flat pitch old ball. no pressure of winning.. just bat bat bat bat bat.

 

[saiyan0312]

402 still left... we need atleast 300 to get confidence back.

 

[Bullet Drive]

On comes the erratic Morkel.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

so younis khan is crap as usual

Afridi fans this is serious cricket here...please stay away.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK must remain aggressive.

 

[saiyan0312]

that should have been a four.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty by Morkel. I heard an ege.

 

[OZGOD]

Collapse incoming

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK struggling vs Morne.

 

[yasir]

Why Younis is chasing wide deliveries???

 

[Bullet Drive]

78-3.

 

[saiyan0312]

is looking aggressive... moving in pitch... these two have to make a good score.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty by YK but no run.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK understands the value of keeping the scoreboard ticking.

 

[Noman]

Younis looking ugly and not a good batsman here..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good over by Morkel.

 

[saiyan0312]

nipped back by morkel...

 

[Bullet Drive]

78-3 after 28 overs.

 

[Sledger]

Almost got bowled there, that didn't bounce.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Peterson hasn't done ANYTHING all game. He hasn't bowled any deliveries and he hasn't scored ANY runs.

 

[Noman]

Why Younis is chasing wide deliveries???

Is it the first time you are watching Younis Khan?
Younis Khan loves fishing

 

[Bullet Drive]

Kallis to continue.

 

[Noman]

Peterson hasn't done ANYTHING all game. He hasn't bowled any deliveries and he hasn't scored ANY runs.

Free money.. 4000 dollars

 

[Cricketismylife]

Free money.. 4000 dollars

hahahahah

great reference!

 

[saiyan0312]

is it me or misbah is playing with the ball too much.

 

[JibranAnsari]

50 more overs today .. lets make it a 6 innings test match.

 

[Bullet Drive]

good by YK.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

:4 again

 

[Sledger]

Four to Younis.

 

[saiyan0312]

in the gap and that could have been caught.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great by YK. No need to sit there waiting for the good ball to come and get you out. Score runs. That's your job.

 

[Asif321]

only 398 now _old

 

[Bullet Drive]

What score does everyone think YK will get?

 

[Bullet Drive]

398 to get.

 

[Nitin Tomer]

No wicket since last 28 balls...

 

[Bullet Drive]

I wish PAK persisted with Ahmed Shehzad. He would have done brilliantly on this pitch with his solid back-foot technique.

 

[Bullet Drive]

When the spinner comes on PAK MUST attack him right away.

 

[JibranAnsari]

what score does everyone think yk will get?

57

 

[yasir]

Although both Jamshed and Azhar are gone on balls they should not get out, I think investment in them is the right thing to do for Pakistan... I wish if they can play first class in ENG/AUS/SA (2-3 years there can do a world of good to them)... First class helps a lot to work on your technical issues, its hard to fix them against the best of the best...
They both have right mind set to play test cricket... Jamshed need to show more full face (the thing I like about him is that he plays very late, that helps him in keeping eye on the ball till very last minute as possible)... Azhar needs to be chasing less on the off stump...

All of our batsmen need to play short ball better... This is one of the fundamental fast bowling playing skill lacking in asian players... Academies need to address that, but I don't think they are doing it... What is the point of academies if you cannot create the conditions of steep bounce???

 

[Sledger]

Well left, other players would have flashed a drive there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK goes.

 

[OZGOD]

Basically each batsman has to score an average of 56 runs and they need to keep 7 wickets from falling in the next 7 sessions.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Indecision by YK.

 

[saiyan0312]

younis was playing too much indecision.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

No wicket since last 28 balls...

wahhh

 

[Sledger]

Gone, should be over soon now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

 

[Sledger]

Looks like a no ball.

 

[doctordamor]

YK fans what was that?

 

[CalculatedRisk]

no ball

 

[Sledger]

Was he behind the line?

 

[saiyan0312]

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

 

[OZGOD]

Terrible from YK. Worst leave ever

 

[JibranAnsari]

comes the little giant

 

[castortroy]

Game will be over just after tea.

This has truly be a hammering of the highest order

 

[Sunny786]

It looked like a no ball to me...

 

[kungfu90]

yk dude is a terrible bat against moving ball. no decisive movement ..

 

[OZGOD]

I reckon Pakistan will be all out by stumps. Not much batting left to come

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

The end is Nigh

 

[Asif321]

yk is crap

 

[saiyan0312]

asad shafiq..... will he be horribly exposed too.

 

[sali]

Very poor technique from Azhar and Yonus how they played...look timid and ready to block before the ball is even bowled

 

[castortroy]

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

 

[doctordamor]

except for nasir jamshed not a single batsman looked good and nasir thew his wkt 2 LOL

 

[yasir]

YK what was that???? - This does not look like a guy with 50 avg in test will do... If seniors are going to play like that what to expect from juniors...

None of the batsmen got out because of good bowling... All gave away their wickets... This is the main disappointment I have... Conditions are very good to bat (for most part)...

 

[Boi]

That was a no ball ffs.

 

[Noman]

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

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Asad Shafiq looks so scared haha....PAK batsmen have been so badly exposed.

 

[MRSN]

if you look close that may have been a no ball oh well

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should go afridiesque now

 

[Cricketismylife]

That was a no ball ffs.

hahaha

was close though

 

[castortroy]

With so many blockers in the team, it's difficult for this line up to ever break free

 

[mosh101]

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

 

[saiyan0312]

both players at 0

 

[Cricketismylife]

Should go afridiesque now

they will never learn that way.

This is only test 1. long way to go.

 

[dirk diggler]

it'd be a psychological boost if we make it to three figures!
