***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

[SquidAU]

This is why I got FoxSports. So there is cricket on when the FTA channels have none.

Add to that, there is cricket on almost all day sometimes!

I'm liking Hafeez at the moment. I quite enjoy his batting when he's in good form. His 90 odd (I think?) on test debut against England was quite a pleasure to watch.

 

[SquidAU]

I don't think he edged that.

Nel giving Bucknor the evil eye!

 

[pasag]

Ohh SA bowling well here.

 

[pasag]

Harris should have caught that.

 

[nightprowler10]

Farhat should not play test cricket.

 

[nightprowler10]

How was that not an overthrow btw?

 

[TT Boy]

Pakistani’s might need to stick the hook/pull shot back in their locker for a little while, especially the one’s attempted five yards outside off stump. Young Farhat has been riding his luck, credit to him for sticking it out but he can’t be rest on Paul Harris making mare’s like that all the time.

Ntini's been pretty poor again this morning, far too short. Get Kallis into the attack and make the batsman play.

I reckon Kallis could get Hafeez, bowling one of those really full and wide tempting balls that swings away a mile.Kallis is great at bowling them (even when he doesn't try to) and Hafeez loves to have a go at them. Outside edge beckons.

 

[TT Boy]

You be having a heart attack if you stuck money on Imran Farhat scoring runs. Plays at least two ridiculously poor shots an over, tried to cut/slash Ntini last over whilst been at least 1ft possibly 2ft in the air.

Was thinking the same, got Sachin just like that.

He's on and he seems to be planning it that way - bowling very wide of off and getting lots of swing.

 

[nightprowler10]

Farhat doing what he does best. Get a start and then throw his wicket away.

 

[TT Boy]

What else did you expect, was pretty fortunate to end up with 26. Yasir Hameed new man in, Younis Khan dropping down to four it would seem.

 

[TT Boy]

Hafeez gone.

 

[nightprowler10]

I don't expect Younis Khan to do too well on these pitches tbh, but hope he proves me wrong.

 

[TT Boy]

Mark Boucher with that catch just equalled Ian Healy's record for the number of test catches, 366.

 

[nightprowler10]

This is where we miss Yousuf. Younis can attack more with risky shots where Yousuf can drive away without anybody noticing.

No he didn't. The ball he got Sachin with (If you're referring to the 1st innings in Joburg) was a ball just on off stump with a little swing, and just back of a length where you don't know whether to come forward or back.

Wasn't a wide ball at all. But you're right, he bowls those wide outswingers which are very tempting but very successful.
