Pakistan in South Africa

[Bilal91]

yeah great bowling by pakistan to restrict SA to 124...akhtar taking 4...pakistan making a shaky start to their innings...3/1 now...

 

[Simbazz]

I'd be inclined to blame the pitch but it looks like a decent shot-making pitch so i think its the batsmen rather than the pitch.

What a cover drive from Younis Kahn, it went a little wrong with the bat turning in his hands but it was attractive

 

[nightprowler10]

I'd be more shocked if it was Inzimam

Nah, you won't see Inzamam dropping a lot of catches. Diving is another thing.

Imran Farhat should be dropped and he should never play test cricket again.

Terrible way to get out im afraid IF he doesnt buck up id say stick in Afridi

I think Amla is doing very well, ok this 1st innings doesnt count

But yes, Asian countries have a problem with fielding but that was a good catch all the same.

What a start for SA, at the moment they are no runs for tone wicket, but one drop and on which hasnt carried so it could be 3 wickets really

Sri Lankans are excelent fielders, Dilshan is one of the better ones around in cricket and Sangakkara is the top wicketkeeper around, a wicketkeeper is what most asian countries are missing.

boy are the Pakistanis glad to have Yousuf back, looks like hes right where he left off. 79/3 now him and Younis building a good partnership.

Sri Lanka and India are very good fielding sides but Pakistan are probably up there with the worst at the moment. The thing is though they are all good fielders mostly, but they are so lazy and switched off in the outfield sometimes that it's unreal. 124 all out is a fantastic effort and i'm delighted to see Akhtar back.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Younis falls just before the close to Ntini leaving this game right im the balance. Ntini is also bordering on 300 wickets, without ever cheating...hm

And Akmal is gone.. set for a cracking match.

 

[evertonfan]

The low scoring games are always the best. It's just a damn shame I can't watch this at the moment. :

 

[Simbazz]

Im sad i know, but ive been in all day, i got up at seven and watched England, and then as soon as they pushed that four through to win,i turned it over to watch SA, and i must admit, it wasnt pretty but it was exciting.

 

[evertonfan]

Nothing sad about that Simon.

 

[Gunner786]

will be interesting to see how inzi bats tomorow
hopefully his shoulder will feel better and he will make that faisalabad sort of 100 again with the tail

i feel afridi could have been quite good on these south africa pitches as they suit his style of play

and he has experience of south african conditions too because of his domestic stints there

 

[Simbazz]

I didnt really listen, but why did Inzi become inegible to bat till 4.55PM?

No. Mindless slogs accross the line are the same in all condidtions mate.

 

[Gunner786]

No. Mindless slogs accross the line are the same in all condidtions mate.

sometimes attack is the best form of defense

whats more effective?
An Afridi 10 ball 20 or a 10 ball duck from Farhat or Hafeez

Because he missed a good part of match early on.
