Pakistan 29 runs short of their highest 4th inning total. Who would have thought with this pathetic batting lineup.

Would love to see them go for a win here, even if it means risking a collapse leading to a loss.

haha Styen doing his best to help Pak win here

Steyn to Misbah-ul-Haq, 5 wides, Steyn has no control over that one, one of the biggest wides of all time, short down the leg side, slipped from his fingers and even 10 Mark Bouchers wouldn't have been able to do the job

:laugh:

What do SA fans think about them playing Duminy instead of Prince to add a spin option so that they can pick another seamer? It's not as if Prince has been in great form and surely JP is the future.

125 off the last 20. If they do this it will be sheer madness. These commentators are very annoying. They're completely ignoring the possibility of Pakistan going for the win.

When was the last time a team won with the opposition declaring on a sub 350 score?

Misbah 0 off 34 against Steyn.

Pakistan surely are thanking their lucky stars that they have got out of jail here, but surely can't see them going for the win and even if they do, Smith can always spread the field and ask his bowlers to bowl negative lines without getting too obvious!!

These teams have proven to be evenly matched since the T20s despite SA's rampant favouritism with the bookies.

Game called off with both sides a chance of winning - I'd have thought Pakistan would've decided to attack the target but I guess they were happy enough with a draw. Strange cricket and rather negative decision from the Pakistanis not to go for it IMO.

those who are criticizing Pak negative tactics should get a reality check the team has had atleast one collapse every inning no way was Younis,Misbah going to leave the game to walking wicket Umer Akmal and debutant Adnan who has a FC avg of 22.Had Aamer and kamran Akmal been there down the order they may have thought about it.

Anyways decent result for us stilll in the series:)

Gosh, the Pakistani fans in here seem more then happy with just a draw, but as you said showing some intent to push for the win could have been well worth the risk and if nothing would have send across a good positive message across to the Proteas for the rest of the series.
On an another note, haven't been following Pakistani cricket all that much in recent times, but what happened to Umar Akmal!? Wasn't he suppossed to be the next big thing in Pakistani cricket!?

He was. Seems to be heading the way of Sami at the moment.
