*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[flibbertyjibber]

Well batted these two, century partnership and a pair of fifties. Need one to go on and get a big one now.

 

[Maximas]

Any reverse? Or turn for Peterson?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

A lot of turn on occasions, not landing it in good areas very often. Not seen any reverse yet.

Why is Philander being held back? is he injured?

 

[Briony]

Maybe not good in these conditions.

 

[Riggins]

The first session definitely South Africa's. They've got a history of great fight backs getting wickets in clumps.

 

[smash84]

Maybe not good in these conditions.

There has been a question mark on philander's ability to bowl in flat conditions.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

South Africa having absolutely no luck

 

[Riggins]

btw is the forecast for the match good? SA are paying $7 ffs.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Maybe not good in these conditions.

I see he has bowled 8 overs and 1 less than morkel, just strange I haven't heard his name in a while, feels like Pak has been batting for days.

 

[Howe_zat]

Eyebrow-raising score line. They've even got Duminy bowling, cash in time

 

[Maximas]

Why is Philander being held back? is he injured?

Because he is a seam bowler who ultimately needs a bit in the pitch to be effective at all - there is just nothing in it for him

 

[Pothas]

I really like Duminy's bowling. I don't know why.

Crazy odds with Pakistan still 100 odd behind.

He's been asked to play an all-round role

Oops

 

[smash84]

duminy gets the wicket

 

[kykweer.proteas]

1 brings 2?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Yeah, with their history of collapsing this is still a game that can change quickly. SA needed the Duminy wicket though.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Anyway, very good innings from Shaun, he will be disappointed not getting a 100, but beggars can't be choosers.
