*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

The pitch is clearly difficult to bat on. Makes Amla's innings that much better.

Pakistan still not out of it for mine. It's a slowish pitch, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to score runs. Particularly a few cameos of Afridi or Razzaq is all that's needed with the relatively smallish total.

Younis Khan's dismissal was a joke though. No way a guy averaging over 50 in test cricket should play away from the body like that.

Didnt watch that one but cricinfo said the ball had extra bounce from a back of length. Could surprise even the best out there this extra bounce...but again not sure if that was the reason or just **** technique by him.

Amla. :notworthy

Too early for the Hussey comparisons? This guy has made a sensational start to his ODI career. 6 hundreds and 9 fifties in 34 innings, average of 61. Remarkable.

Tendulkar took about 78 ODI matches to get his first hundred IIRC.
Was Tendulkar even 20 when he achieved that though?

This is one weird wicket. Ball doesn't seem to come on to the bat, strokeplay is difficult, but there seems to be decent bounce.
