*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

[TT Boy]

Bhaji has scored more test centuries in 2010 than the entire Pak team. Wicket is still flat and slow, so great chance for the Pak batsman to finally deliver.

Haha that is such an awesome stat.

Haha, great observation from TT Boy. Though its also a shame to see such a talented team like Pakistan fall so low, hope they clean things up and turn things around.
As for the game, Ali and Khan would have to bat for most of the day if Pakistan are to have any chance of saving this game, as their middle order is way too brittle to put up any resistance.

a myth. The current team is one the least talented int side especially after Aaamer and Asif exit.

this joke batting line up will not.

 

[TT Boy]

Wonder how much that will cost South Africa. Bouch drops () Younis Khan. Steyn been very good this morning.

50 for Azhar, performing well under pressure. If these two can still be there at lunch, Pkistan have a serious chance of saving the game.

In that case the declaration will have to come under the spotlight.

Not really, declaring any earlier would've meant that if Pak batted as well as they would have to to draw the game in this situation, they'd have been threatening the target.

 

[Briony]

Maybe, looks like neither attack is good enough to take wickets consistently.

 

[TT Boy]

I've got all 3 games on and I won't leave my seat/do work/drink coffee/go piss/phone client until a wicket falls in one of the games. Looking increasingly likely that no wicket will be coming in this game unless Azhar or Khan do something stupid.

 

[TT Boy]

Hehe, sweet can go toilet. Good delivery from Harro, Azhar comprehensively beaten. Wrong man for South Africa mind. Get Khan before lunch and back is broken.

 

[Jono]

Nut from Harris!

 

[TT Boy]

If Hash caught that (should have), that would probably be the end of Misbah's international career. South Africa have had the chances, should really be going into lunch with Pak 5 down, game pretty much in the bag and over.

 

[Jono]

Just saw Boucher's drop catch of Younis Khan. Wow, just wow.

[TT Boy]

Already been dropped from the ODI side and Khan took over the captaincy yesterday when Mis left the field. Couple with that he isn't very good, then there is nothing stopping him from getting the axe from the test side/losing the captaincy. Also remember its Pak, 1 test captains are not nothing new.

 

[smash84]

SA didn't grab the chances. This session is the key. IF SA can take 3 or even 2 wickets in the pos lunch session I would fancy them to take the match.

I didn't see that. Was it a simple chance????

Yes, it was to his right and at quite a comfortable height. Oh well.
