****Official****Pakistan in South Africa

[stumpski]

does the captain have the option of not enforcing follow on despite opposition getting bundled out at less than the required score?

Yes, always. Don;t think it'll happen today though.

Pakistan's lowest ever Test score, and the lowest against South Africa. Incredible.

 

[Black_Warrior]

I have read so many times people saying steyn is past his prime, but when you see him still having days like today you have to wonder.

Huh? who?

 

[Pothas]

Knew I should not have slept through the first session.

 

[BoyBrumby]

so they beat Pakistan's previous lowest score of 52 back in 2002 in sharjah

Is "beat" the verb you're looking for there?

Of course.

Given you follow Pakistan I can't believe you've never seen that before.

Miaow. Saucer of milk for Miss Cribb.

 

[smash84]

Remember 53 and 59 against McGrath, Warne and Gillepsie?

i had that in mind .....if SA not enforcing the follow on....they want to grind pakistan in the dust

Of course.

Given you follow Pakistan I can't believe you've never seen that before.

I couldn't remember

 

[straw man]

****, just saw the score. Now to find highlights

 

[NUFAN]

So this SA bowling unit have bowled out Test teams for 47, 45 and 49 in the last what, year and a half. That's just sensational stuff.

 

[Jono]

Oh Pakistan

 

[BoyBrumby]

Why wouldn't you follow on?

Not like SA have spent two days in the field.

yeah....that is pretty sensational

 

[Prince EWS]

Because they'd like Pakistan to.

somebody stole Flem's line

Sheriff Saeed: "Seems like someone has just played Pakistan Innings on 'HARD' difficulty in EA Cricket' 07..."

 

[stumpski]

Yeah, seems very odd. Ultra-conservative. Could have had three days off, as well!

 

[TT Boy]

This scorecard always makes me laugh.

1st Test: Pakistan v New Zealand at Lahore, May 1-3, 2002 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

The dismissals are hilarious as well. Some of the Kiwi batsman are so late on the ball that the time they play a shot the stumps have already cartwheeled past the keeper.

 

[centurymaker]

****, just saw the score. Now to find highlights

yes plz.

need someone to upload highlights (not just fall of wickets)

 

[smash84]

Umar Gul has a Ishant Sharma-ish average......never looked quite as bad though

 

[TT Boy]

Yeah, seems very odd. Ultra-conservative. Could have had three days off, as well!

Pak have two spinners and you don't want to be chasing anything against them and probably some of the guys want some runs and the golf courses are already booked up for the weekend.

I love how McMillan randomly smacked a six in the first dig.

yeah.

finish the game off...

selfish stuff
batsman want to improve their averages I suppose against probably a demoralized bunch.

i hope SA get bowled out for under 200.

pretty ordinary 1st over from bull
