*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

SA would ideally like the lead not to cross 100. If Pak get to 400 by tea, then things could get very tricky on day 4 and day 5. Also south africa have mainly used pacers for the workload which means plenty of rough areas for Ajmal and ZB to exploit
Unless ZB bowls to some left handers I think Junaid and Irfan are actually gonna give Ajmal the best rough stuff to work with being left armers - although Junaid likes to troll and go round the stumps

Anything above a 100 then SA might hope Pak bat as long as possible to help us draw the match.

Lost 7 Sessions in a row :unsure:

I cannot blame Robbie P, from what I have understood our seamers just have not bowled consistent enough and Kallis dropping Manzoor was vital, we are missing Paul Harris here.

Credit to Pakistan, I hope Misbah gets his hundred, he has taken to much undeserved flack for a while now.

Lead's almost a hundred already. SA need s collapse here. I'm backing Philander to cause one soon like he did in Capetown

Collapse is definitely a possibility because Pak have a pretty long tail. After these 2 there are no batsmen. All 5 players from 7 onwards are mugs with the bat. Adnan Akmal has the highest average among them i.e. 22

Yeah you can see the last 5 wickets going for 50 or so but SA need that 5th wicket first for that to happen.

nah, just because your batting is awful doesn't mean the bowlers haven't done a good job. South Africa's lineup is ridiculously strong - Duminy and Faf would be batting in the top 4 for most test teams in the world.
Really? I would strongly doubt that.

except for perhaps England and India - and probably Sri Lanka I'm struggling to think which other countries wouldn't want them in the top 4 tbh
Significantly over-stating their ability - For me none of Aus, Pakistan or NZ would take them both.
