*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[hendrix]

Robbie Peterson helps Misbah remember that he was once the best T20 player in the world.

Bring steyn back for an angry spell pleaseeeee

 

[Maximas]

tbf this target was never defendable - as soon as Younis and Misbah came together you knew that they weren't gonna walk off the field until the runs were scored - can't blame Smith for desperately trying another bowler

Well played Pakistan. Great win. Dominated the game from start to finish and deserve it. Shame it just a 2 match series.

 

[Daemon]

Well done on South Africa for winning the session

 

[Maximas]

I'm interested to note that Misbah is about to bring them home at over a run-a-ball

 

[Daemon]

Can tell he's waiting for that flighted little tossed up delivery to deposit into the stands

 

[Daemon]

aaaand there it is. Great win.

For serious, the man was the number one ranked t20 batsman in the world IIRC. He's the bomb.


Love Pakistan so much.

Nah look they obviously had no chance but it was equally obvious that Younis and Misbah were looking just to survive against Steyn n Phil. It was obvious to me that if Morkel and Peterson were brought on, those two would cash I'm easily

Anyway, wonderful from Pakistan. Misbah WAG! Deserves MoM

 

[Riggins]

why do you all bang on sayin misbah don't play no shots?

 

[smash84]

FMD....I went to rest a bit after the SA innings and wake up to find Pakistan 3 down and ****ting their pants. As I said I wouldn't have wanted Pak to be chasing 150 in the 4th innings. I should have said 100.

But anyway. Well played boys. Keep up the good work. Now go and win the 2nd test match as well

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Luckily with the early finish Amla can fly home early so they can induce early

Vicious.

Done very well to score so many runs in the game then as many players in the same circumstances fail as their minds aren't on the game properly.

 

[salman85]

1-0 baby.

Amla won't be playing the second match, right? All the better. Hopefully we can knock over SA in the 2nd match.

Apparently being no.1, and coming to the UAE vs Pakistan is not the greatest feeling in the world.First England, and now SA.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah, unbeaten in Tests in the UAE facing SA twice, SL and England. They might want to adopt it as their new home for a while longer. Hope they go on to win this series.

Great, great stuff from Pakistan, despite the comedy at the end. Hope our batting order can put up another formidable effort in the next Test.

Good attitude from Misbah as well.

Misbah has promised the Dubai-based fans they will not be in for a draw because Pakistan are not simply. going to try and preserve their lead. "We have just given clear instructions to the groundsman that we want results. We want to exploit our home advantage," Misbah said. "We are not going to think negative because whenever there are negative thoughts in your mind, you don't get results. Whether we win or lose, we want results."
