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

Boucher tweeted that he saw a spot.

Du Piss is really lucky, got away against NZ and now against Pak.

Nah, commentators are just speculating if stickers on the bat could hide faint nicks from hotspot, but there was nothing.

Saffers are opening up, been playing a few cover drives lately but alway found the man at cover and cover point. Should they continue like this I doubt they'll both reach a fifty, the odd delivery is moving quite a bit

Twitter / CallumFlynn4: Something was definitely shown ...

You'll have to tell me if that's meaningful or not.

Well I didn't see anything, but I'm not in the best position to judge, I'm watching the game in low res. Commies (SAF commies, so they could be biased) were saying that there was nothing, but they just shown a few tweets of people that spot a little stain, so I don't really know. Still a 50-50 decision in any pre-UDRS era.

EDIT- And I'm not so sure that that picture has shown 100% a nick, it looks too far from the edges of the side

 

[kingkallis]

There was no edge, kids on Cricinfo and commentary team has gone nuts.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

umpire had to give benefit of doubt, it was not conclusive at all

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Is it reversing?

 

[Гурин]

How PLASTIC are DeVilliers' leaves? He's been much more on the front foot lately.

Yes, it looks reversing a bit to me, but nothing too threatening

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

out now surely

 

[kingkallis]

lol @ 2nd review

Nothing even on the pad! Is the sun glare messing up with Hot Spot?

 

[kingkallis]

There was no edge. The kid behind the wicket is getting too ambitious there.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Surely must have been some noise, otherwise they wouldn't appeal.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Misbah holding back Junaid for new ball maybe but he could come in for a short burst few overs earlier

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Hafeez strikes straight away

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Haha Feezaaaaaaaaa. Go Professor, teach ABCD how to get a PHD.

 

[smash84]

it begs the question....why wasn;t hafeez tried earlier?

 

[kingkallis]

It was kinda weird that Misbah didnt use Hafeez for so long!

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Why wasn't there a mark on hot spot for pads, when according to cricinfo ABCD mentioned it hit the bads. Does this mean Faf could have been out earlier?

Elgar! So much better for him to be out there now than in 10 overs time

Can he play spin well?
