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

AB and Amla not wasting time, they scoring very quickly. Should declare once these two make their tons.

Edit: 17 off that over.

 

[sonnench]

Haha cool little story that about AB and Dale.

 

[Spikey]

ab gonna ab

52 runs in last 4 overs

 

[Cabinet96]

This all sounds really good to watch...

 

[smash84]

i wonder how long it will take for this Pakistan side to recover from this pasting

 

[sonnench]

ABDV

Clearly should give up the gloves and focus on his batting.....

 

[Rasimione]

and the decleration.....

 

[smash84]

Pakistan need 480 to win....

 

[Spiced]

I think Amla has done enough to be No1 in the test rankings.

They do predict light rain between 8:00 to 17:00 tomorrow. Should still get about half a days play in if we don't bowl Pakistan out today.

with Cape Town next its gonna get worse before it gets better....

480 in 8 and a half sessions. Stage is perfect for a match winning 250 off 700 balls for Misbah

Is Cape Town even quicker than this wicket?

 

[Jono]

What's this I hear about AB Devilliers late cutting Steyn in the nets... whilst batting left handed?

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak. Can do it all.

ABDV

Yes he should.

"I think Steyn should be dropped for the next test. He just bowled one over for 5 runs without taking a wicket. Where is his commitment!" Johan Struwig, success seems to have got to his head"

Actually the ball seems moving less than yesterday. If they can refrain from brainfarts like the one on the last ball of the first Philander over, they might really have a chance for a (at least) decent score.

EDIT: And this game teaches me a good lesson. Never again predict anything with Pakistan involved. Never.

 

[sonnench]

And it begins....

Days 3 and 4 are the best for batting here and scoring 250+ in the 4th innings isn't anything new.

But Pak are already 1 down after a sedate start from the South African pacers.
