*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[Cabinet96]

Have a feeling Smith and Kallis are going..

 

[Cabinet96]

ah ok, that makes a bit more sense then.

it must be like 5am over there...

Welcome to PEWS

He made his First Class debut when he was 17 and he wasn't really ready for it then so his average suffers a bit for that fact. He averaged 42 last season. Still definitely a very surprising pick from where I sit but his First Class average isn't a true representation of where he's at right now.

You need to get out more.

Jog on Graeme. Maybe try practising next time

IIRC he cramps up when he jogs.

The fat, unfit ****.

I'll rep anyone who uploads highlights on here so I can watch from work. Thx.

And the world rejoiced. Two horrid batsmen to watch.

 

[hendrix]

I seriously don't get how people can not like watching Kallis (when in form). He's got superb technique, plays all the shots, and is one of the best exponents of both the cover drive and the pull shot.

I get not liking Smith though.

 

[Furball]

Because cover drives are crap.

And there's absolutely no soul to Kallis' batting whatsoever.

I've managed to condense smali's posts into a video highlights package for you:

Dammit, I turned it into a proper link and everything you bastard!

on nightshift day 1. Bummed I missed seeing Amla's ton, but at least he's not out. Get to see day 2

They are actually more entertaining and better to watch than Cook and Trott.

 

[Furball]

Oh look, a straw man.

 

[Maximas]

How come Abdur Rehman didn't play?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Sore back.

LOL I always find it amusing how non Pakistani fans or even analysts/commentators will look at a scorecard like 245/8 and conclude this is Pakistan's day, obviously going by their own team or most team's standards..
Reminds me of the time when South Africa were bowled out for 253 and Pakistan replied with 45.
What they don't realize is that when it come to Pakistan, 250 is sometimes good enough to give you an innings victory.

nah, just because your batting is awful doesn't mean the bowlers haven't done a good job. South Africa's lineup is ridiculously strong - Duminy and Faf would be batting in the top 4 for most test teams in the world.

 

[Black_Warrior]

No one has said that bowlers haven't done a good job..All I am saying is 245/8 does not make it Pakistan's day.

 

[NUFAN]

Would Pakistan had taken South Africa 8/245 at the close of play? I think yes so it is there day. If/when they fail tomorrow it will be South Africa's day.
