Smith has immense trust in Harris and he is doing a fantastic job!

This is why Harris > Botha.
Honestly still think Botha's better. If Harris is a better bowler (and tbh, I don't even think he is) the difference is extremely negligible and Botha's so much better at everything else.

Seems to be inexorably heading for a draw. SA will be really disappointed to see these two hanging around after getting Pak 8 down and still 230 or so adrift.

SA must be so disappointed with Pakistan being 412/8, especially after getting Misbah first ball.

This is headed for a draw, time to switch to SL vs. WI.

lol. I think he may have tried that Potterish anti-jinx spell on Sami too but apparently Sami is under one of the strongest of curses ever :)

These two tests have seen no real contest between bat and ball.

Botha surely has his cards marked. He might look a reasonable package for test cricket but he fails to cut the mustard.

Morkel getting a pasting here.

He looked quite good, though in the first session on day one the ball was moving around a lot. We've seen less movement as the game has progressed.

Guh, please don't let Petersen knock up an essentially meaningless ton here, Pakistan. Really don't think he's good enough to be in the side at all.

Watching two teams without a good spinner between them play on this pitch has been seriously painful at times.
lol.....so true. Wonder why Kaneria was not allowed to travel here despite being in the squad initially??? Was he involved in match fixing somehow??

Abdur Rehman's last contribution to test cricket is to bowl a line Ashley Giles would be proud of. Pak are just waiting for the inevitable. I would look to go 20/20 in about 10 overs time and then pull out overnight. Pak won't score 350 in a day.
