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

Oh come on bitching and moaning about two edges from steyn and leg side deliveries from steyn... Are you watching this?

That was 2-3 pages ago. Where am I moaning against your team now?

 

[Howe_zat]

Bah. Shame. Deserved a ton.

SA from here, IMHO. If two tons can only drag Pakistan to a lead of a dozen I can't a substantial target being set.

Incidentally I note both 1st innings century makers went for Nelsons. Is this a test match first?

Yeah, first time there's ever been two nelsons in a match.

Philander has beaten Younis on the walk a few times already.

Just felt like bringing it back up lol

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Just felt like bringing it back up lol

I was moaning when the opposition was doing well against us, but you are now moaning even after reducing us to 16-2. Lol you are worse than Smali.

 

[slowfinger]

Keep Calm and Support Younis?

 

[uvelocity]

Yeah, first time there's ever been two nelsons in a match.

uvelocity was first to say wow ftr

Philander is clearly doing the business with the ball but Cricinfo still lists him as an allrounder. He averages under 20 with the bat in Tests and has a FC batting average almost identical to Swann. My question, I guess, isn't necessarily about Philander but when does a bowler become an allrounder and when does an allrounder regress to be a bowler?

 

[uvelocity]

well outside

 

[smash84]

WTF.....played on

 

[M0rphin3]

There's no way SA is chasing 250+ here. And I'd back Pakistan to get somewhere around that.

I won money betting on him to top score with the odds at 49 once. Definitely makes him a batsmen in my books.

 

[Howe_zat]

Tell you what this is a cracking Test.

It is as good as reason as any but perhaps the odds from the bookmakers show his promise as a batsman

Yeah, it's not only going to be a close one, it's top quality too. Admittedly I didn't watch the entire first day, but from highlights and what I've seen on days 2 and 3 it's been awesome viewing. Steyn's spell to Younis earlier was pretty fapworthy. Been a while since I saw him crank it up to the high 140s.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

These two can bat as slow as they want and they have my backing for it.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

So who is going to replace Morkel in the next match?
