*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[Black_Warrior]

South Africa's day?

Have you been watching the same match? They barely managed 200 runs in a day on this absolute road of a batting pitch and managed to lose the all important wicket of Dale Steyn..
Pakistan is walking all over them mate at this point.

Ruthless display from Smith and ABdV... His haters can gagf.

Also quite surprised when I checked and saw that Graeme Smith's career strike rate is almost 60... Higher than supposedly far more attacking guys like Ponting, Tendulkar and ABdV himself

 

[OverratedSanity]

Double hundred from Smith... Great innings, he's shown no mercy

Hope SA get a 1000 and win by an innings and 800

Just started to feel human again after 48 hours in a darkened room with the worst migraine I've had in years to see the scorecard - never again will I complain about how frustrating being an England supporter is - I should think most Pakistani fans have now got that migraine I've just got rid of - what a strange team - I think they need Imran back out there, even if he is 60

So how long do they bat for then?

I'd go another session tomorrow and smash it till the lead is 500 then send them in with no hope of saving it.

 

[centurymaker]

Should bat the whole day tomorrow IMO and a bit into day 4

SA 1005 / 7

Smith 415
AB 404*

Even Misbah will have no problem scoring 500 runs in 240 overs. There's just too much time left for the mathematics to make sense in declaring by lunch tomorrow.

Why are the commentators saying it's a difficult decision? It's not out... I hate how indecisive commentators are... Not to mention the third umpires as well

Edit: 4/4 for Pakistan
absolutely nightmarish day... Nothing has gone right

 

[OverratedSanity]

In the commentary box:

"Would you like to see Azhar Ali develop his leg spin a bit more?"

" I'd like too see him develop his batting"

 

[jan]

Big fat left-handers ftw!

 

[Maximas]

sounds like Azhar is a decent leggie going by the commentary

 

[Riggins]

bat all day tomorrow smiffy. record calling.

 

[Maximas]

which Pakistani batsman is gonna put in the required Hanif Mohammad effort over the next few days?

 

[salman85]

The day Ishant Sharma becomes the greatest bowler ever.

 

[salman85]

Also, i'll be be very surprised if SA don't bat the whole day tomorrow, and put Pakistan in for the final 8-9 overs.

Expect Pakistan to lose by an innings and 150-200 runs atleast.

 

[Maximas]

I'm not sure Smith would do that tbh, that sort of captaincy is more in Alistair Cook's manual I'd have thought

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Smith will probably try get the tripple, but a 500 lead is very attractive.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I agree, Smith would likely try and score a trip and declare sometime then, Clarkeh style.

 

[smash84]

came out from a long meeting only to see this score....

lolPakistan

 

[Cabinet96]

Smith

Maybe he doesn't need practice, eh?
