***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

Its dissapointing that neither Hameed or Younis were able to convert on their starts, but its good to see that they're at least scoring runs, unlike Iqbal. It will be up to Inzi and Akmal to finish the job and put up a decent total. The tail is not as long as it appears, with Naved and Nazir both being able to hold a bat. 350 would be very good, and 400 would be ideal, but its all going to depend on whether Inzi and Akmal stick it out against the new ball early tommorow.

match in the balance IMO; someone should have gone on to get a bigger score!

( Talk about stating the obvious!)

Great to see Hameed among the runs today, I've always rated him quite highly.

I think that anytime someone scores runs, it turns out that I've always rated them highly.

I rated him 2-3 years ago. Since you don't have a life, you can go back into the archives and find the proof.

It wasn't supposed to be directed at you. I was talking about myself.

PS: You rate everyone.

You have to know about cricketers to rate them.

What if you know but they all suck?

Then you're definitely an Indian fan.

Just kidding.

Pakistani batsmen need a serious bitch slapping.

That's 5 down now thanks to their pull shots. I can't believe I actually paid money to watch this tripe.

 

[oz_fan]

5 wickets for Ntini. Pakistan 311/9.

 

[nightprowler10]

All out now. This is definitely not a 313 pitch, 400 would've been closer to ideal. Now if Pakistan can make some early breakthroughs, then it'll be evenly poised, other wise I'm afraid it will be RSA's game.

 

[nightprowler10]

6 Pakistani batsmen got out hooking. Pathetic to say the least.

 

[adharcric]

Let's hope Asif rocks the SA top order.

Gun delivery to start with.

 

[nightprowler10]

Smith gone!

 

[adharcric]

Good start for Pakistan.

 

[nightprowler10]

What a beautiful delivery it was too. Commentators can't find anything that Smith did wrong.
