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

[saiyan0312]

Hopefully somehow we socre 310 runs from here on

Only three centuries form younis, misbah and asad or 2 centuries and 2 fifty.

 

[Saurav]

cmon he made a good 60 in the last test.... i believe in him he can do good.. it,s not like our greats have a 100 average over there...

yes,he can be good no 5-6 imo

but no.3 you need someone technically better,YK or Asad are better in that regard

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rookies bullying our experienced batsmen

 

[saiyan0312]

dont tell me misbah tu tuk is rubbing off on younis khan.... he affects everybody.

 

[ViciousMachine]

You should never try to score behind square on the off side unless you are playing a cut shot in SA , that led to most of our players demise especially hafeez.

That is a good post!!

But look at all the posts in this forum.

What do you do if Steyn or Philander bowl 6 balls in a row on 5th stump???

If your an Eng - Aus, you LEAVE all 6 balls. Your fans PRAISE you.

If your a Pakistani batsman, you LEAVE all 6 balls. Your fans INSULT you.

When Hafeez was batting, I was only one praising him for leaving all those balls. he finally tried to hit one (like everybody was posting), and he got out.


You cannot have BOTH sides. Either be happy at Tuk Tuk, or take the risk when you try to score. Your not going to straight drive a RSA pace bowler bowling on 5th-6th stump.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Now theyre going to tuk tuk which will completley stall the innings and get them no where

 

[JibranAnsari]

5 more ..good ..we need more runs like these.

 

[Saurav]

Maybe read the whole post then? top part was all reply. Try to justify your pointless posts with STATS. You want our #4 scorer to be dropped?

where did I say that?

I am just talking about how he was hyped as next Wall or something like that after his innings in SC,which btw were very good imo.

I do rate him and hes a better test bat than Kohli imo.stop being insecure

 

[saiyan0312]

yes,he can be good no 5-6 imo

but no.3 you need someone technically better,YK or Asad are better in that regard

Asad is the perfect 5 or 6.... he is comfortable their... azhar will be alright plus our batting line up full of collapses so we need a early anchor and yes i am talking about test

 

[Batman]

From 0/46 to 3/56. This is typical Pakistan collapse

 

[saiyan0312]

younis start off but misbah still at duck... get of the mark...

 

[mosh101]

Future captain will be analyzing the situation from the dressing room

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | Ist Innings | 3/63 | Trail by 346 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hope younis scores a hundred in his final test in SA

 

[saiyan0312]

From 0/46 to 3/56. This is typical Pakistan collapse

no its not.... we have went from 46/0 to 64/8 thats the Pakistani collapse

 

[DOOSRA95]

Misbah How Awful is he not off the mark after 13 ball's, just awful batmen!

 

[saiyan0312]

misbah off the mark..... yeah. now you can tuk tuk.

 

[alberto]

Misbah is pushing at the ball!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah hits an accidental boundary

 

[johnnybrutal]

tuk tuk ahead of fiqa?

This tour could be a blessing in disguise for us, imagine misbah getting out and younis scoring a triple ton and fiqa scoring a double ton.

Fiqa made Odi captain and younus rightfully made the test captain and misbah, hafeez and gul respectfully exiting.

 

[Bilal7]

Rameez doesn't know what he's talking about. He was crying about these batsmen blocking too much and after Misbah hits a four, he says that the first reaction on these pitches should be to block.

 

[johnnybrutal]

then imran khan winning the elections and pakistan becoming the leading economy in the world

 

[Batman]

no its not.... we have went from 46/0 to 64/8 thats the Pakistani collapse

That I hope not going to happend, thanks for your suggestion

 

[alberto]

What a beauty!

 

[mosh101]

Their bowlers are right on the money ! No loose stuff....And then you have our Shaheen bowling line up

 

[Osman]

YK is fidgety early on but once in is glorious to watch

 

[Batman]

They started to rotate the strikes which is good to do

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq has 187 highest scorer for us and younis with 142 with misbah at third for 124.... hafeez 43 in four innings.

 

[Saurav]

Asad is the perfect 5 or 6.... he is comfortable their... azhar will be alright plus our batting line up full of collapses so we need a early anchor and yes i am talking about test

anchor needs to be technically good,not just a blocker.

Asad has looked far more comfortable against moving ball than Ali

 

[Indiafan]

Misbah apologizes for hitting an accidental boundary.

 

[Saurav]

c'mon smash these Abbott guy

 

[mosh101]

tuk tuk ahead of fiqa?

This tour could be a blessing in disguise for us, imagine misbah getting out and younis scoring a triple ton and fiqa scoring a double ton.

Fiqa made Odi captain and younus rightfully made the test captain and misbah, hafeez and gul respectfully exiting.

Like the sound of that

 

[saiyan0312]

That I hope not going to happend, thanks for your suggestion

Hope not and your welcome


ok rotate the strike and watch how the scoreboard races away.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | Ist Innings | 3/70 | 24 Overs | Trail by 339 runs

Need a biq partnership here

 

[ViciousMachine]

They started to rotate the strikes which is good to do

Notice the DIFF in fielding....
Peterson picked it up with his WRONG hand, one quick motion, fires it and hits the stumps.

If it was Pakistani fielding, a lot more easy singles on offer.

 

[saiyan0312]

anchor needs to be technically good,not just a blocker.

Asad has looked far more comfortable against moving ball than Ali

NO NO... asad played the old ball good. he got out to the moving ball when the ball is changed... Azhar has handled the new ball well.. albeit not scored.... Dont think he will do good at such top position with the top order collapsing.

by misbah and nice one.

 

[mosh101]

What a driveeee !! Jiyeee misbahhhh

 

[Batman]

Finally a by Misbah

 

[ViciousMachine]

Misbah, what a shot !!!

Time for a captains knock to save follow-on

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah flowing like a river

 

[saiyan0312]

commentator saying track quite dry.

 

[Bilal7]

Pitch breaking up, we have to make the South Africans bat agains on this pitch.

 

[saiyan0312]

pakistan trail by 334... come one misbah,s 200

 

[Batman]

Notice the DIFF in fielding....
Peterson picked it up with his WRONG hand, one quick motion, fires it and hits the stumps.

If it was Pakistani fielding, a lot more easy singles on offer.

Yes, but one direct was right that was Irfan hitting the bules eyes

 

[JibranAnsari]

commentator saying track quite dry.

Yah , it is ripping apart.

Peterson will be very difficult to handle.

 

[saiyan0312]

Pitch breaking up, we have to make the South Africans bat agains on this pitch.

And tell the bowlers to not bowl freebies... you dont bowl 2 balls good and 4 bad ones...

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | Ist Innings | 3/75 | 25 Overs | Trail by 334 runs

 

[saiyan0312]

Yah , it is ripping apart.

Peterson will be very difficult to handle.

By peterson you must mean gary sobers yep hope we dont make him a legend.

 

[mosh101]

Kaptaaan misbah ul haq departsssss

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah edged to the freaking slip..... thrid umpire gets involved... abbot is bowling like a saffer.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Gone... 1 more down....

looked like it carried again in real time

 

[mosh101]

Kaptaan in danger

 

[saiyan0312]

seriously i have seen that kind of dismissal soo many times it pisses me off... the pitch is still swinging .

 

[mosh101]

Looks clean ! Time to bid misbah good bye

 

[ViciousMachine]

looks out to me. only hope for misbah is maybe some doubt to save him cause of shadow.....?

 

[JibranAnsari]

That's out.

 

[Saurav]

Abbott gets Misbah

 

[mosh101]

Crooked finger is raised ! Misbah in a hurry as he goes off the field

 

[Batman]

Looks out for me and Misbah is gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

Under 100 on!

 

[saiyan0312]

from 46/0 we are 75/4 .... chalo... yehi hona tha.. we are giving wickets to the old ball.

 

[MenInG]

So much for playing positive

 

[castortroy]

Game should be over by tomorrow.

 

[mosh101]

What a pathetic kaptaan we got

 

[saiyan0312]

Under 100 on!

crap.... how much to avoid follow on.

 

[mosh101]

Game should be over by tomorrow.

InshAllah. Ameen.

 

[IAJ]

Alviro has taken some very fine catches in this series.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Game should be over by tomorrow.

I like the positive thinking! I was thinking might be over today. 4 top order wickets in last 10 overs.

just defend boys. I dont care. Tuk tuk us to a draw..... i dont wanna lose 3-0

 

[Bilal7]

That should wrap up the innings. Another horror showing abroad from our batsmen.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan's two best batsmen out in the middle now. Another 200+ partnership coming up InshsaAllah.

 

[hamzie]

)

hope the match ends by tomorrow
end our misery
sack misbah

 

[mosh101]

Hafeez outscores misbah in this innings. Misbah giving hafeez every right to be termed as future captain !!

 

[Saj]

I'm not sure that carried.

Replays weren't clear.

 

[doctordamor]

on debut kyle abbot without much pace killing us and pak fans tlking abt patience with new bowlers from pak

 

[ViciousMachine]

crap.... how much to avoid follow on.

need to score 210 to avoid follow-on....

However, if we score even 160-170, i dont think RSA will enforce follow-on. Ajmal scares them too much, they will bat again to avoid batting 4th.

If we only score 100, then they will probably enforce it.

 

[MJcricket]

I'm not sure that carried.

Replays weren't clear.

Was a clean catch.

 

[mosh101]

Every bowler SA brings, they turn up to murder us. We have nothing but incompetent jokers in our side. Talk about having a bad future.....

 

[Executioner]

damn it, i was atleast hoping that Pakistan avoids the follow-on and avoid an innings defeat as well. Pakistan could atleast be satisfied by the fact they avoided Innings defeat in a series in SA with such a young team

 

[mosh101]

SHOTTTT younusss

 

[saiyan0312]

ok guys make some score and by younis.
