Because they'd like Pakistan to.

Yeah, seems very odd. Ultra-conservative. Could have had three days off, as well!

This scorecard always makes me laugh.

1st Test: Pakistan v New Zealand at Lahore, May 1-3, 2002 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

The dismissals are hilarious as well. Some of the Kiwi batsman are so late on the ball that the time they play a shot the stumps have already cartwheeled past the keeper.

Pak have two spinners and you don't want to be chasing anything against them and probably some of the guys want some runs and the golf courses are already booked up for the weekend.

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

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)

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

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...

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.
