*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

[TT Boy]

Can’t see Misbah “block, block, block, block, block, block, block, slog” ul-Haq surviving until the NZ test series. Azhar Ali seems to be a prototype of Misbah as well. Pak would have close to 280 on the board by now if they bothered to look for the singles and put away the half volleys.

Great catch by Hash though.

Akmal junior usually doesn’t die wondering. Would take the new ball.

Doesn't disappoint. Seriously bats like a clown.

 

[Prince EWS]

Botha.

Yeah but I can’t see him getting a wicket against India. Harro has form for doing a job at home.

Interesting to see if the tactic they used against England last test, all out seam on a lightening quick wicket will be adopted again.

Yeah. The I don't see Botha troubling the indian batsmen. They are really good players of spin.

One Khatmal out and another takes his place.

Why do I get the feeling that Azhar Ali will just be wasting the time on the crease and there wouldn't be too many runs of his bat?

Collapsing against botha no wonder why they sucked so bad against swanneh.

That's just... Quite true, actually

225/7. Another good started squandered. Terrible batting as usual. SA in commanding position now.

 

[smash84]

228/8.........Azhar Ali gone.........SA turning the screws here.......

 

[TT Boy]

Azhar Ali's rather strange innings comes to an end.

82 overs 168 for 8.

 

[TT Boy]

Might not be the best idea bowling spin to these two guys. They both like a slog and as I type Botha is put into the stands.

What does this mean????

 

[smash84]

at least these 2 are entertaining the crowd

Taking away the first 10 overs when Hafeez was playing 20/20, that's what Pak has managed this innings.

If there was one.

Riaz couldn't even be asked getting into line. Morkel gave away close to 30 runs in his first 5 overs, next 15 have gone for 22 and he has picked up 4 wickets.

 

[smash84]

Wahab Riaz gone........not even 250 yet

 

[TT Boy]

5 for Morne. Pak lost their lost 8 wickets for less than 100. Been a game of epic collapses.

 

[smash84]

YEs and reasonably good top order performances....especially from SA

 

[Briony]

Morne doesn't get that many five-fors so well done to him.

 

[Xuhaib]

huh! who was I kidding they can't bat its simple as that you gotta agree with Inti Pak cricketers are a bunch of retards,
