*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

[Daemon]

Guess the two net sessions and practice game Kallis had just weren't enough. Gotta question Smith not opening in the second innings of the warm up as well, coming back after a pretty long break after all.

bring ajmal damn it

 

[smash84]

it is Ajmal's birthday today....how old is he now?

 

[smash84]

36 years old today........so young, and Shahid Afridi is younger than him

 

[hendrix]

quite like Misbah's captaincy

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very nice from Pakistan... Like what I've seen of Irfan. If they get Amla here they have the chance to run through the rest of the order quickly

Kallis was looking awful though.

He's 38 now and hasn't really played for soo long, so it's expected I suppose

 

[Howe_zat]

Jog on Graeme. Maybe try practising next time

 

[smash84]

this is turning out to be a good partnership for SA....not sure when any one of these will depart

 

[smash84]

can someone please get Amla out.......come on ****s

 

[smash84]

well played for Amla....now please get out.....

RR is 2.4 for SA, definitely not easy batting out there.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Lol ABCDEFG

 

[fredfertang]

The biter bit

Someone describe the ABdV dismissal to me, with an eye to law 23

 

[kykweer.proteas]

It has balanced out nicely now, Amla and Duminy should cash in now.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

The other batsmen are probably jealous they could not get to the afternoon session lol

Adnan Akmal was immediately asking for the ball from Younis Khan which meant Pakistan thought the ball was 'still in play'.

My view though is that it comes down to a sportsmanship thing. if AB was attempting a run then it would be a different story for me. It's like when a fielder throws the ball and hits the batsman and they don't take a run.

Most disciplined I have seen Pakistan bowl in a long while. Irfan definitely looks to have improved his stamina.

Bit of nip seam movement on the odd occasion which is maybe better than it doing it continuously. Also saw a ball reverse from Junaid Khan, thought that was very interesting.

JP looking so classy. Really hope he carries on.

It is so brutal how you managed to jinx Irfan.

Mm, I dunno. Negligence is no defence when you've been stumped.
