Pakistan v South Africa Day 2 - Review

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

well we only play when no one believe us that we will play .... lol

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I will tune in as SooN as it starts I hope they deliever with bat .. specially mr.captain who is only there cause they think he can bat lol

[jawad1]

We must score about 400 to have a good chance of winning the test match

[Faisalabadimunda]

Guys umar gul after todays play said that is pakistan can get a 100-150 runs lead then it will put south africa under pressure in the 3rd innings.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Unfortunately I didnt get to see it BUT this day certainly belonged to Pakistan

Seems like a great bowling effort to dismiss SA for 380 when they were threatening to post a huge score - Gul got the wickets his bowling deserved, must have shut the haters right up

I was shocked to see our openers make a century opening stand? That is a rareity - shame both openers have gone BUT hopefully YK can keep the middle and lower order together

Also happy Taufeeq Umar got some runs, shame he didnt get a 50 BUT hopefully he will be confident and make a big score in the next innings

Yea Bro.. 200 run lead and bat til the lunch on fourth day will take the match away from SA completely. and Fourth day after Lunch Our Spinners will become dangerous for SA batsmen.
But scoring 600 won't be easy. All depends on how we start tomorrow and How well Younus khan guides us for big first innings lead.

Excellent performance from Pakistan just have to make it count ! 100 tomorrow iA

[JellyBro]

Pakistan even w/o the star players still held true to their reputation of being the most unpredictable cricket team ever. Overall a solid team performance....

[aamerfan]

what a surprise it was when i woke up around 4:30 am and checked my phone to see 380 all out

really loved the way the openers played

lets make it count tomorrow

[JibranAnsari]

I havent seen pakistan making 400 for a long time now , i think it was against srilanka when younis khan made tripple hundred . Is there a score of 400 or more after that test match?

[JibranAnsari]

it was against newzealand last year

[Decipher]

Just saw the highlights ...
For Akmals ... it runs in the family.

He missed out on collecting a few deliveries (although not catches) off of Ajmal and Rehman exactly the same way Kami drops 'em.

[Decipher]

Is Dale Styne turning into another Andre Nel ?

Whats up with all the sledging and crap after every other ball?
He is kinda losing my respect here.

Wasn't it mostly to Azhar Ali though? If I were the best fast bowler in the world, I would do the same if I were bowling to a newbie in Test cricket who isn't entirely sure of where his off stump is. Anybody would. Especially since it was in the last couple of overs in the day when the bowling side needs a wicket the most to demoralize the opposition.

[optimusprime1122]

This is the first series of dale steyn against pakistan and Pakistan didn't look worried against him instead they attacked him which is hard to digest if ur an ace bowler.
On the side note i ve noticed pakistani batsmen always do good against top bowlers but look like junior high team batting against part timers.

The Communication between team hasto improve...Looks like others in team misunderstood Guls statement. They GAVE away 150 odd lead and Gull mean we should TAKE 150 lead.... ...That why I say communicate in Urdu/Punjabi not English/....it caused mis communication
