South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd Test | Centurion | 22/2/13 | Day 1

[vandokkum]

Amla has been ordinary this series, didn't expect him to go 2 tests without a hundred.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Younis Khan is continuing. Poor decision by Misbah in my view. #SAvsPAK

 

[ViciousMachine]

Misbah is a pathetic captain

No captain in the world will look good when his pace attack is this garbage in RSA.... hard to imagine what else he could do outside maybe bowling Hafeez (who barely spins it already, on a track where Ajmal is not getting much spin).

 

[Silverlion]

Sami where are you?

 

[MRSN]

I think the commentary answered it, they using feet, and not much spin. If Ajmal cannot spin it, Hafeez def wont. So they figured YK will keep them in their crease.

Way things are going, anything is worth a shot.... last 10 overs, 50 runs - 0 wickets....

maybe time to try hafeez anyway

I think he needs to back Ehsan and Rahat here..this could be there last game for some time so they should be given more overs to prove themselves..

 

[doctordamor]

Misbah is a pathetic captain

i will give u this team and u will do a worst job, easy to blame misbah when his bowlers bowling crap and hsi batsman crumble

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Superb placement from ABD

 

[doctordamor]

Sami where are you?

thank u thats what I been syaing might as well get sami in

 

[asifp]

Where is Rehman????

I mean he is so much better than all our fast bowlers

 

[ViciousMachine]

I think he needs to back Ehsan and Rahat here..this could be there last game for some time so they should be given more overs to prove themselves..

actually Rahat is bowling from one end already. probably spin-yk from one end, pace bowlers rotate on other.

 

[MRSN]

that was fast..almost touching 143 kph..almost had Amla there too..

 

[shah_1]

bowling with pace, he just to be bloody accurate

 

[MRSN]

review taken

 

[ViciousMachine]

Where is Rehman????

I mean he is so much better than all our fast bowlers

What is he going to do on a track where Ajmal is having trouble spinning the ball??? This is RSA!!

If they had played two spinners, everybody would say "So stupid! who plays two spinners!!"

 

[HASHAM2]

need 2 quick Wickets here

 

[Silverlion]

thank u thats what I been syaing might as well get sami in

We have come to this that we have to rely on younis khan.

I do not agree that these guyz are inexperienced. They can't even bowl in the right areas. After playing many first class matches, you get an idea where no to bowl.

 

[HASHAM2]

review taken

Kis ki Ball per Review
hopefully yeh out ho

 

[Bullet Drive]

Silly decision by Misbah to review this decision against Amla. Amla is a walker and he would have walked if he hit it.

 

[Jo_Don]

Bat hit the ground, wasted review.

 

[HASHAM2]

What happen to Review

 

[vandokkum]

Review gone, not out

 

[shahidafridi123]

Is it out?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

NOt out I Think..

 

[ViciousMachine]

Silly decision by Misbah to review this decision against Amla. Amla is a walker and he would have walked if he hit it.

agreed - wasted a review.... everybody knows Amla walks. typical Pakistani team not knowing their competition

 

[MRSN]

edit

 

[badxhah]

IF hafeez was retain in the side just on the merit of his bowling

Toh where the hell is he?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat is bowling really well

 

[HASHAM2]

Rahat need wicket dude

 

[badxhah]

Bio amla is a legend

 

[doctordamor]

for a guy who is called professor hafiz is one dumbo there was enough doubt but he came with thoery bat was going that way so must be nick and convinced to take the DRS seriously pathetic

 

[MRSN]

Kis ki Ball per Review
hopefully yeh out ho

Rahat..and it's not out..think bat hit the ground..

 

[Bullet Drive]

RR over 4 an over.

 

[doctordamor]

13 3xtras with this pedestrian pace seriously whats with no balls

 

[vandokkum]

Hafeez has the easiest job in this series, bat for couple of minutes each innings and don't have to bowl either.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is a nutty proffesor

 

[HASHAM2]

Bring ehsan back
for 5 overs spell

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez has the easiest job in this series, bat for couple of minutes each innings and don't have to bowl either.

And complain and shout at the bowlers.

 

[leatherface58]

What pace is Rahat bowling at?

 

[Bilal7]

If we only had Junaid instad of Rahat....

 

[badxhah]

Misbah ki Ulti Shave zindabaad... he is looking more whiter than south africans

 

[ViciousMachine]

for a guy who is called professor hafiz is one dumbo there was enough doubt but he came with thoery bat was going that way so must be nick and convinced to take the DRS seriously pathetic

like bullet drive said, this is stupid from the ENTIRE team. EVERYBODY knows Amla ALWAYS walks! Why use a review vs him????

 

[Silverlion]

May be our firstclass cricket is so poor that we have now started to produce people who do not know where to bowl.

 

[vandokkum]

And complain and shout at the bowlers.

Wasted a review as well. Jamshed dropped in favor of him and Farhat what a joke

 

[HASHAM2]

wicket needed

 

[badxhah]

3-0 on the cards here ...

 

[Bullet Drive]

So YK is still on despite having M.Hafeez.

 

[Silverlion]

Myke is getting some swing.

 

[shah_1]

Rahat has been bowling well in the second spell, give credit when it is due

 

[Bilal7]

What pace is Rahat bowling at?

135 to 137 kph.

 

[badxhah]

Quality of Pakistan Cricket ..Nasir Bholu replaced with Imran Fisher

 

[Bullet Drive]

What pace is Rahat bowling at?

135 to 138

 

[MRSN]

there's no point of bowling YK...either it should have been Hafeez or Ehsan..

 

[Sandeep]

Looks like Kaliis isn't all that missed!

 

[Sandeep]

there's no point of bowling YK...either it should have been Hafeez or Ehsan..

Maybe the surface helping seamers is Misbah's POV

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant bowling by Rahat. 144kph there.

 

[liaqat]

this will be a innings deaf for pakistan,


southa africa will score 400+ 1st innings,

pak 140 1st and 220 all out 2nd innings

 

[MRSN]

another no ball...M Akram doing his job

 

[shah_1]

bowling with real pace, good to see.

It was really disappointing to see him with trundling pace on his debut

 

[Bullet Drive]

142kph by Rahat this time

 

[vandokkum]

Another no ball

 

[Bilal7]

Rahat is just a crap bowler, never should have been sent to South Africa.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I think the more Rahat plays for PAK, the better he'll get.

We all must remember that these guys are playing their first tests

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[MRSN]

Looks like Kaliis isn't all that missed!

he was a walking wicket against Ajmal anyway...

 

[ViciousMachine]

Outttt!!!!

 

[vandokkum]

Amla missed hundred Good bowling

 

[Xoib]

well deserved quality spell.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant by Rahat. He's bowled with fire this over. 142kph

 

[Silverlion]

Bio amla -

 

[shah_1]

Rahat get his second wicket, deserved it

 

[Sandeep]

Big man gone! In come the tail...

 

[Bullet Drive]

92 for Amla. Sad to see.

 

[Bilal7]

I take that back ^

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now I back PAK to get SA out under 270

 

[Osman]

fluke wicket by this lulloo bowler

 

[GreenKnightRises]

.... and ll the four wickets goes to the two Young Debutants......

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat is just a crap bowler, never should have been sent to South Africa.

Yes your never right

 

[shah_1]

Rahat is bowling with fire, we are seeing some good speed from him

[Silverlion]

Multani got lucky.
