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

[Гурин]

So this SA bowling unit have bowled out Test teams for 47, 45 and 49 in the last what, year and a half. That's just sensational stuff.

What's really sensational is that they've not won a single series at home from 2008 to 2012. Is not that the side was that much different (apart from Vernon)

yeah.

finish the game off...

selfish stuff
batsman want to improve their averages I suppose against probably a demoralized bunch.

i hope SA get bowled out for under 200.

4 days of gate earnings and TV rights are better than 2 days of gate earnings and TV rights

I love how McMillan randomly smacked a six in the first dig.

Its McMillan..

out to a spinner and caught by Afridi too. I don't know where Afridi fields but I'd put money on cover or in the outfield...

SA would still beat heaps of teams at home if they only had 6 fielders.

Even though they've only beaten two sides at home since 2008?

Great work again from SA but srsly have batsmen lost their stones? Sides getting rolled for scores in the 40s has to say something for their inability to fight out good bowling on helpful pitches. We need Warney to tell us how to stop the batting rot.

Sorry, the decision makes little to no sense. It will only encourage Pakistan if they can dismiss S.A.

Really disappointed Smith didn't enforce the follow on.

Most insane aspect of that was Nazir and Afridi opened together.

That's not even remotely true.

yeah pitch will prob only get better to bat on considering that it's SA.

around 350ish is chaseable with enough luck going your way.

bring hafeez on already Misbah

 

[Burgey]

pretty ordinary 1st over from bull

He's probably a bit surprised to be out there...

Its the batting as I said before..always had weak links.

Given that he has been a regular for the last 5 years or so..I doubt that.

 

[stumpski]

50 runs scored today.

or completely humiliate them more. remember, this SA team is ruthless, if they get a good score here too they will even dampen the spirits of pakistan even more going into next match, i would think that would be playing on smith's mind as well. Win and Win big and make a statement.

keep in mind that pakistan will get alot of flak from fans from this game, the worse the loss, the worse the flames, it will create pressure.
