South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd Test | Centurion | 24/2/13 | Day 3

[Bullet Drive]

Another maiden. & one more over will be squeezed i.

 

[the Great Khan]

Lads should just bat get some fifties hundres etc before the inevitable..we cant win may aswell relax and enjoy

 

[GreenKnightRises]

1 more over left for lunch..????

 

[Bullet Drive]

RR gone down to 2.37 poor stuff.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last over before lunch.

 

[mosh101]

pitch is a bloody mine

 

[mosh101]

Little bit harsh.

Farhat played 30 test matches before this.

Jamshed played 0.

Farhat is 30+

Jamshed is 22

I meant on this tour bruv. Farhat has looked at ease when dealing with steyn and co while jamshed clearly struggled. Farhat has made an effort/impact from the word go. Hope he continues that way.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lunch

 

[mosh101]

Done reasonably well so far. Time to have the biryani now

 

[Asif321]

commentators praising farhat ... finally he has proved himself

 

[farazaidi]

Farhat has already surpassed Professor in his 2 innings

good session for us, weldone boys

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Agreed that it's a test match but Azhar Ali's SR is very low!

 

[Safar55]

i'd take farhat 25's over hafeez 0 ... HAFEEZ must be dropped

 

[khan1992]

Agreed that it's a test match but Azhar Ali's SR is very low!

he's our best player

dhoni is smashing it togh with a strike rate of 87

 

[GreenKnightRises]

i'd take farhat 25's over hafeez 0 ... HAFEEZ must be dropped

ohhh plzzz... Drop both of them....... both are useless...

 

[khan1992]

ohhh plzzz... Drop both of them....... both are useless...

and play who?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

37 overs 87 runs...

AFter Tea, new ball will be due again and we will still be behind the target needed to make Saffers bat again.

Too slow to make a match of it.

But I guess it's just survival mode now.

 

[IMMY69]

So atleast now we know why Saffied decided to bat first! Day three and the wicket is cracked up and doing all sorts!

 

[MRSN]

What a shot by Sir Farhat..

 

[GreenKnightRises]

... 50 partnership btw the two

 

[mosh101]

Farhat answering his critics

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Gone

 

[MRSN]

poor runt out

 

[GreenKnightRises]

threw away the wicket...

 

[menace2society]

Brainfart from Azhar.

When will this kid learn

 

[GreenKnightRises]

there wasn't a second run........

 

[khan1992]

Azhar Bradman Ali gone

 

[HASHAM2]

we has Wasted most Important wicket here

 

[doctordamor]

wth was that? what was azhar doing i know farhat called but wasn't he watching?

 

[alberto]

What is the score?

 

[MRSN]

feel for Azhar..was working so hard for a big score here..

 

[CalculatedRisk]

hope we can produce better batsmen than Azhar Ali. He manages to get himself runout when he is not bowled!

 

[Boi]

That was clearly Farhats fault. What a dumbass.

 

[mosh101]

Oh boy ! What a waster this azhar

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Mr.Tucker arrived........

 

[doctordamor]

seriously what was azhar doing?

 

[90MPH]

That was all Azhars fault.

Worked so hard then threw it away.

 

[HASHAM2]

why Umpire not Review from 3rd Umpire

 

[IAJ]

two halftrackers and he fails to put them away.

In the other match Dhoni has just smashed 200* against Australia.

 

[Osman]

*** misbah gets too long hops and sees them out....YK would have lashed those

 

[doctordamor]

That was clearly Farhats fault. What a dumbass.

nope azhar is at fault here he saw it clearly he should have said no loud and clear

 

[90MPH]

There was never a 2nd run. I don't know why hex was running for it especially against Steyn throw.


Just poor cricket sense and awareness.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

leg byes

 

[Boi]

nope azhar is at fault here he saw it clearly he should have said no loud and clear

It was the non strikers call. Farhat called, ran then stopped and sold Azhar down the other end.

 

[MRSN]

leg byes

 

[Lara400]

Captain marvel to the rescue......

 

[Lara400]

woops sorry wrong thread fellas!!!!

 

[doctordamor]

It was the non strikers call. Farhat called, ran then stopped and sold Azhar down the other end.

dude it doesn't matter he called azhar should have seen steyn barreling down and if he didn't then its his fault stop ur farhat hatred blinds u to obvious fact

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both were at fault.

 

[Bullet Drive]

100-3

 

[GreenKnightRises]

DUCKRATH playing sensibly

 

[Osman]

misbah is such a cissy....those 2 long hops from RP should have been lashed...shows his scared mentality

 

[mosh101]

Misbah's last chance to save his captaincy

 

[HASHAM2]

Misbah's last chance to save his captaincy

So u want Hafeez as captain

 

[Bullet Drive]

101-3

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Misbah Might aswell Have thr Intent to Score Some runs And Try and cut down the lead rather than defebding away and Getting pakistan no where

 

[yasir]

bodyline form Dyle Styne

 

[doctordamor]

Misbah captaincy is in no danger, 4 simple facts the obvious successor hafeez has been shown to be highly incompetent who doesn't recognize any fault in his technique

 

[yasir]

So u want Hafeez as captain

After this tour Hafeez and Gul should b shown door in Test. Pakistan cannot perform if these two are there. One cannot be lead of the attack other is not an opener. Opening is very important position

 

[Bullet Drive]

I back Misbah to either get out early or score around 35 off 130 and then 'brainfart'

 

[786warrior]

misbah..... I just don't know where to start.......Look around the world at how captains lead from the front - michael clarke digs his team out of a hole against India with a century in a sandpit - Dhoni kicking Aussie backside in return - Alastair Cook a young legend for England - Graeme Smith, well we all know.....

Misbah where do I start, hiding behind youngsters, hiding from the press, but you can't hide from yourself!! Shame

 

[kamz]

i feel misbah might get out, he always struggles when there is a change in line n length like right now bowlers bowling him round the wicket.

They are setting him up for an in cutter

I hope he doesnt fall into the trap and scores to regain his form

 

[speed]

AS soon as misbah arrives at the crease farhats strike rate drops

 

[Ahson8]

Misbah 1 (21)

 

[Bullet Drive]

43 to Farhat. He's a class act.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is 1 off 21. Captains are supposed to lead from the front. I can't believe PAK persist with such mediocrity

 

[AFG_Brit]

As commentators said, the pitch seems to change when farhat is batting. He can score runs but others just stay there blocking..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah ever played a hook shot in his life?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

controlled defense from Don..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pitch looks tough when your batting like a coward!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah ever played a hook shot in his life?

)

 

[doctordamor]

*GASPS* could rashid latif be right Imran Farhat will be better captain

 

[Bhaijaan]

lol fun crowd that. poor girl )

 

[mosh101]

So u want Hafeez as captain

Never said that. says that

 

[Pak_Lover]

Sensational tuk tuk from phuttoo

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope this is the last game Misbah will play for PAK!

 

[doctordamor]

I don't understand why fans get mad at misbah, he been playing like thsi 4ver to expect him to change is madness on fan's part. He is not dhoni and don't expect him to be one.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

feel sympathy for that girl in pool..

 

[doctordamor]

lol fun crowd that. poor girl )

she is fuming I hope thats not her bf cuz he is gonna get whipped LOL

 

[AFG_Brit]

lol fun crowd that. poor girl )

The crowd were bored watching misbah bat so they tried to find some entertainment!
