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

[Paki007]

Good second hour for us although i was expecting some wkts in the first one.Not a good start for Rahat Ali

 

[hedger_14]

Even first session. Junaid Khan's bowled really well. Saeed Ajmal needs to take wickets in the second session though otherwise Amla and Kallis can run away with the game like they do a lot of the time.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Kallis has a great record against Pakistan and looks well settled here too. Pakistan need to get rid of him asap. Pakistan need to restrict South Africa to below 250. It will not be possible with these two at the crease for any length of time.

 

[hedger_14]

I can't see Pakistan bowling the Saffers out for under 250. Kallis, Amla, de Villiers and du Plessis should be able to easily get to 250.

 

[sami ullah khan]

There is a risk of Junaid gettng over bowled here.

----------

This Kallis and Amla stand is looking ominous for Pakistan. Its high time Saeed Ajmal is introduced into the attack to stop the flow of runs and get a wicket or two in the process.

We need a wicket.

 

[sami ullah khan]

What the heck. Younis getting Amla. Now who would have thought of that.

 

[Paki007]

Wow a wkt brings another,i wish now we dont let them build p'ships.Ajmal i think will be crucial here.It'll be interesting to see how the lower middle order deals with him

 

[sami ullah khan]

Wrong move to continue with Younis Khan. Junaid should be bowling here.

 

[Sami Kumar]

Hafeez needs some overs.

 

[Paki007]

I'd go with Ajmal and Junaid here

 

[sami ullah khan]

Ajmal should bowl over the wicket. He has looked pretty inocuous bowling around the wicket till now.

----------

Wrong line of attack this. Ajmal should go over the wicket asap.

 

[Paki007]

We are running through SA batting But oh boy what a six by Steyn.Hafeez has been quite effective i hope he delivers with the bat as well

 

[Addy]

Pakistan's Day. Junaid bowled beautifully so did the Guldozer. Hafiz was a surprize Package today, though i expected Misbah to bring him against lefties. That AB wicket was all important. Partnership between him and Faf looked a genuine threat tbh. I hope we somehow get 125+ lead. Was it just I or others too felt that pitch was not that hard to bat on?

 

[badvintage]

Hafeez was excellent today, as well as others. I loved Pakistan's team today but I don't know why Rahat Ali is there.
