*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

[TT Boy]

Never to be out done in calypso cricket, Pak lost their last 8 wickets for 72 runs, RSA lost their last 8 wickets for 73 runs.

 

[smash84]

well at least the batsmen are..........Umar Guls' innings was entertaining. I wanted him to play a few more deliveries.

 

[smash84]

yes. Pakistan are one run better

 

[Xuhaib]

Sa batting without alarms one can safely say that following the footsteps of its brilliant fast bowlers Pakistani batsman have now mastered the art of taking the pitch out of the equation.

Strange. Jacques Kallis has never scored a double century in test matches.

 

[smash84]

Looks like Addu Khatmal isn't much better than his elder bro Kami. The Khatmals are out there to suck the blood of the Pakistan cricket team. Although I can't be sure because I am following the match on cricinfo and not on TV.

Any comments on Addu's keeping?

And why don't they try and keep Umar as a keeper/batsman and do away with the other brothers???

Wow, you just noticed or what?

Haha, so true.

When will Umar Khatmal grow a brain?

 

[smash84]

Wow, you just noticed or what?

yeah I just noticed. And with a fantastic career average of 55+ it is even more surprising. Tells you just how consistent he must be.

 

[smash84]

Khatmals by definition are small blood sucking creatures. They don't have too much of a brain I guess .........so the answer is that Khatmal won't be growing a brain

Haha, never seen Kallis start off by putting a bowler into the stands. Hope South Africa know that they should really only be batting for another 50 overs max.

 

[outbreak]

did anyone else think the replays of ajmals doosra to amla clearly showed him throwing from that angle.....

Both he and Botha have filthy actions. Neither will be called though. Rehman's doosra looks pretty iffy as well.

 

[outbreak]

I havent seen Botha's before, i've always thought Ajmals looked off but that replay angle before looked pretty bad....

 

[TT Boy]

Strange with you being in Aus. Botha was first called for chucking there circa 2005/6.

o' Kallis, u so fyn

I hope that South Africans forget about declaration and end up playing the whole day. So Pak can have a chance to at least play the whole last day and end up with a draw .........I wish

 

[TT Boy]

I would pull out after Hash and Kallis ton up but I think 450 would be the total RSA are looking towards. Pak look just about done.

 

[smash84]

Pak won't probably even make 300. Let alone 450. But I think you are right. SA will be looking at 450.
