*Official* South Africa in Pakistan

[biased indian]

Malik hit a four

if YK was still there it was evenly poised..but now i think SA should win it

Dunno, these two seem very intent. Though I am not sure if they know what they are doing. They completely clam up and then all of a sudden play a couple of risky shots? At lunch, they need to sit down and have a talk about just what they are trying to accomplish.

Take a page out of the 156* by Ponting in Ashes 2005 as to how they need to pace their innings. That was absolutely beautiful for mine.

Come on Pakistan.You can do it.

 

[silentstriker]

Huge wicket in the first over after lunch! Pakistan in trouble now and the tail is almost exposed. Two very long sessions to go, and South Africa back on top.

 

[Speersy]

Come on Pakistan.You can do it.

Do u mean win or draw?
They would be happy with the draw from here, cant see them winning

I meant win but not anymore

Shoaib has never wanted to win it anyway and if you go to p[lay for a draw you do tend to end up losing it anyway.

 

[silentstriker]

Akmal out! Here comes the tail. SA huge favorites now.

 

[haroon510]

that was the end of kamran akmal... well taken by boucher.. he was like look kamran that is how u keep and that is how u catch a ball and that is how u have to leave the ground now..
hope we don't see him in any form international cricket in pakistan side...again

If South Africa don't win this test they should feel really disappointed, but i can't see Pakistan playing out the day now so i should be an easy win for South Africa.

 

[nexxus]

Rehman out I think, Cricinfo commentary seems to be lagging behind it's own score for the last few minutes.

Surely there's no way back from here. That bugger Kaneria can't do it again?!!

 

[nexxus]

Say what now? It's gone back to 249/7?

 

[nexxus]

Now up to 253/8

 

[biased indian]

9 down

 

[nexxus]

And we're done. Ntini scalps the Captain, new boys Steyn & Harris both take 5. Kallis got 2 hundreds. Job well done SA.

Pakistan lose at fortress Karachi for only the second time and similarly to that famous England win back in 2000, Pakistan’s Indian like tactics of two seamers and whole load of spinner has comeback to bite them in the ass. South Africa will be hoping Pakistan employ the same tactics in Lahore. Great win.

indian tactic is one seamer,one part time bowler and 3 spinners

Jacques Kallis is MOTM and with that Kallis goes joint first with Murali, in regard to the most man of the match awards (18).

Haha, I'll remember that next time haroon says "Kallis isn't a matchwinner."

 

[Beleg]

Congragulations to South Africa on a highly deserved win.

Fortress Karachi is no more.


Anyway, my team for Lahore test will be,


Akmal
Malik
Yousuf
Inzy
Younis
Misbah
Afridi
Rahman
Asif
Gul
Kaneria

make a pitch similar to the one produced for the second asian test championship game against sri lanka or the 2nd test against India (where gul took his first five-for)

That's a team I am positive can win against the Saffies.


edit: seeing as iftikhar anjum is the third seamer I'd rather play Kaneria... which is a pity really. if anjum is the third best seamer we have in the country then we might as well give up fielding a team in international quality competitions.


edit:

what i thinkt he team will be:

Butt
Umar
Yousuf
Inzy
Younis
Malik
Akmal
Rahman
Asif
Gul
Kaneria
