7 down for 345. What were the stupid Pak bowlers doing yesterday???? And I so hate the umpires for giving such terrible decisions..........aaagghhh

Wow, 400 looks far off now. Problem with sending in Harro last night. This morning sessions was completely stagnated. The wicket whilst offering a bit is definitely 400 min first innings.

I am not sure the wicket is 200 material. And Kallis is still there so they might actually get to 400. Pak batting has been quite terrible in the last few years. In fact they have barely managed to reach 300 in a handful of innings in the last 3 years.

Kallis gone. Epic collapse.

 

[smash84]

woah...8 down

 

[TT Boy]

Morne Morkel at 11. He should have turned himself into a decent test number 8 by now.

Ajmal honeymoon period seems to be over now even the tail is picking him at will.

9 down....great collapse

 

[Xuhaib]

decent bowling effort considering the howlers that went against us early on.

 

[Xuhaib]

we shaded the session

I was just sleeping woke up and found a collapse for 50 runs... Glas it wasnt just us... But South Africa have done the damage already... 360?PAH!

360+ is not a mammoth score on this pitch any bowling side will take it but we know anbout Pakistan's batting.

So true

 

[slowfinger]

Yeah but we're relying heavily on the new Akmal and Taufeeq Umar...Who hasn'y played in a while.

 

[smash84]

It is still better to get back Taufeeq Umar than stick with the Imran "Parchi" Farhat

don't worry one failure by the openers in this game and the Parchi will be back to torture us again in the next game.

Has there ever been a more blatant form of nepotism in Pak cricket? I can't recall. The only other that comes to mind is Faisal Iqbal. But even he doesn't come close to Parchi Farhat

 

[Jono]

South Africa

Thought they'd make 600+

Steyn and Morkel can both bat reasonably though. Could annoy Pakistan after lunch.

idiot hafeez dropped morkel........aagghh.....I hope they clean up the last wicket soon
