Cricinfo Commentary:

"Pakistan has generally always had world class fast bowlers and spinners, but the cupboard regarding fast bowling has been a bit bare recently. Which is why Tanvir and especially Sami's performance would be critical for more difficult tours to South Africa. If Sami does well in Sri Lanka in the test series then he must play against the Proteas. Imran Khan rated him as one of the most naturally talented fast bowlers and actually compared him to Malcolm Marshall. He has till date, not done much at all to deserve that compliment but this could be his last chance." Yes, Reza, Sami is as dangerous as anybody when on song, but he is not on song that often, is he?

 

[talha3]

[Osama_B]

[Ismailtoca]

[qamar84]

i wasn't trusting return on team but have to admit great comeback so far

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amazing from Sami. It looked as if it hit bat!

 

[carbon11]

sami got lucky...didnt really know wat he was doing there...would have been another leg side boundary

with his tendency to be full and with his pace he will always be a wicket taker

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Reifell compensating there

 

[Ismailtoca]

20 extra out of 40 runs!

In a possible low scoring game thats really poor stuff!

[Saudi]

Sami is mental.

 

[NeVerMind]

Sami and Tanvir (and Hafeez and Misbah before them) showing that if performs consistently on the domestic structure then you do deserve another chance...unless you are named Imran Farhat of course

you haven't seen that much Pakistani cricket then? Seen him do this many times live last time at the Oval where he pulled a victory out of the hat!

 

[talha3]

Classic sami.

From bad to good in 2 balls.

The difference is, he's been unluky when he's good in the past. Today he's been rewarded.
