Pakistan's Tour of South Africa - Feb-March 2012/13

So massacre day again. Steyn and Co must be licking their lips and would love to bowl first against us. I only hope Imran Farshit does not get picked again. That will waste of a spot. Prior to this series, I made a bet with my brother that Muhammad Hafeez will not make an aggregate of 150 runs for the entire test series due to his inability to play quality quick bowling as was proven in UAE against Australians. I was right for the first test, lets see if hafeez can prove me wrong in the second test.
 
Womderful comeback from us.This 2nd new ball will be crucial if we could just managed to see through this day without losing any wkt,it'll be great
 
Good comeback there, looks like only 2 people from the batting side will be doing the work. Hoping Pakistan could go for 320+.
 
Great batting by younis and shafiq.It has been a long time since younis made a century.
 
Tanveer is bowling with no pace and swing. Irfan needs to be brought in while the ball is hard.

----------

Someone on cricinfo suggested introducing Hafeez against smith. That is not a bad idea looking at how easily they are playing seam.
 
Ajmal is bowling beautifully. Just enough turn in the pitch.

----------

Also, this is why we have the DRS! Two very good LBW shouts turned down and reversed correctly.
 
I wonder if there was no DRS,SA would have been on 88/1.Ajmal is bowling superbly.I think Pakistan missed a trick here.Rehman would have been a better choice here than Tanvir.Nevertheless,Hafeez and Ajmal can be very much lethal in the 4th Innings.Bottomline,We can surely challenge SA in this test match if things go well from here on

If Pakistan can remove Kallis before he gets set, they'll be right in this.
 
At present if anyone can challenge South Africa in their home, it is Pakistan.
