South Africa in Pakistan - 2007

[baburao]

hope the pcb recalls yousuf,afridi and akhtar for the next match.

afridi would have made a big difference in the bowling and also akhtar would have made a big difference too.

they should tell afridi that the rest of the team is muslim too and if they can fast and play then why cant he,
he has a contract with them and he should do his job

Afridi has opted out of this series.Akhtar?He may face a 6 months ban.

Seriously look at the pitch.Flat track and yet Pakistani batsman finding it difficult.What would have happened on the green top here?

what happened on this pitch 18 months ago when 1 team made 599 in the 2nd innings?

yea but this is not the Pakistan of 18 months ago. No Inzi no Yousuf and a whole bunch of average players playing, Iqbal doesnt cut it at this level, Misbah is the same in tests in my opinion and with only 2 pace bowlers and Asif not clicking this might end up as being a huge blow out.

I can;t remember how long it's been since Ntini actually last put in a good performance. Maybe he needs to be dropped. I remember seeing Steyn a few seasons ago and he is a really good prospect. Maybe bring in Morkel next time.

SA in good position though.

 

[Master Khan]

Pakistan are playing poorly in this match but is only a test match so I don't really care.
but lets hope they do better in the ODIs

How does Faisal Iqbal keep getting recalls?

The difference in quality between him & Mohammad Yousuf is enormous.

Faisal recently made good scores in the "A" team. But the main reason is that he is a nephew of a great Pakistani cricketer. I think we should've had Taufeeq Umar or Asim Kamal in there.

I have a feeling we can draw this
But let's hope we don't have to follow-on.
And Butt will get well

 

[Cricketer2004]

Pakistan have 70% chance of follow-on b/c there is not any gud batsman left in Pakistan team.....

 

[Gooner_2k7_UK]

good stiory, keep it up

 

[anakwalajinn]

Great partnership by the captain and vice-captain. And some good tailending

 

[ZexyZahid]

South Africa has a lead of 200 runs with two days left. It isn't looking good for Pakistan.

Pakistan need some magic from kaneria i still think they can win this one just need a bit of luck:happy

 

[ZexyZahid]

Maybe they will have the magic from Rehman, because Amla is gone for a duck. By reading on cricinfo I already saw he was struggling. Gibbs is also gone by now.

But there isn't a big chance for Pakistan saving this match.

So you don't think we can win?
Brother, more amaizing this have happened before!
I will pray for them now :upray , and InshAllah (if God wants) we will win this game!

Pakistan Zindabad! (Long Live Pakistan!) :happy

 

[ZexyZahid]

I don't think that will happen though, because the current batting line-up of Pakistan is unexperienced to chase a total of 300+ runs, which will be the case tomorrow.
