aren't we all putting a bit too much faith in Saeed Anwar. He is a class batsmen no doubt about it. but he has been out of the game for a long time and will no doubt struggle coming straight into a world cup. The guy is only human. So let's not get too excited about the whole thing. It is not his fault but rather PCB's stupidity who should have selected him for the SA tour.

Yes, putting too much pressure on the guy is going to hurt him.
Inning defeat ? :(
if they dont take 10 wickets in next 100 runs it looks like a inning defeat or may be its a batting paradise ? May be our batsmen can also dip the hands in milk rivers may be may b ....me back to sleep :)

The commentators saying a beautiful batting pitch. Remains to be seen what our heroes do when they bat.

we know that very well, don't we??? :(
SA 305/0 in 60 Overs (R/o 5.08) 
what a slaughter. Test match meen 5.08 ka average. Bohat petiee ho rahee hay apney Pakistani baycharoon kee. How batting friendly can wicket be yaar come on get the wickets and no matter how friendly is the wicket apney hero tu wohee kareen gaay jo un ko kerna hota hay… 
Saqlain Mushtaq (OB) 21 0 106 0 5.05
Mohammad Sami (RF) 15.5 2 68 0 4.29
Thank you M Sami :k: for keeping your cost low.
Pakistan bowling being hammered severely. I “wish” that our batsmen reply with equal or better style.
probably they r gonna make 420 /0 out of Pakistani team today :(
actually they will do anything and everything to come on the top of the ICC test table.
Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!! and we were supposed to be the best bowling attack in the world?
I have switched off my TV, cant take more of this. A contest between a professional team and bunch of kindergarten boys.
Itna dilbardashta na hoon ehsan uncle our bowling line is best only when it is something like this
Wasim
Waqar
Shoaib
Razzaq
Saqlain
We are missing some of our bowlers na (3 out of 5 basically). Waqar injured. Hota hay aisa bhee hota hay. See Aus is playing without McGrath and what england did. 250 bana hee leyee na unhoon nay bhee 
(dil k behlaney ko yee khayaal behter hay)
G Smith Batting 142 of 198 balls with 19 fours and 0 sixes
H Gibbs Batting 184 of 200 balls with 24 fours and 4 sixes
ouch! Gibbs uncle zara daikh ker one days khatam ho gaeey heen you are playing a test match. Control plz
It might be a flat pitch but the bowlers haven't exactly been tearing in have they? Only Sami is excused from this criticism, he had a real go and should have had a couple of wickets. Mohammed Zahid is a spent force who now only bowls medium pace.
** Gibbs 201 off 211 balls, 26 fours and 5 sixes. Congratulations well played**.
He has alone scored what probably our whole team will score in the two innings. :(
360 for Australia in 67 overs for no damage and still 23 overs to go 
I think they’ll make around 480 today 
Gibbs completed his 200 runs in this inning already.
Well played Gibbs. :k: a masterful inning as it appers from the figures.
I guess with the pace Gibbs is playing they will even reach 500 and then let Pakistan toy with it
why isn't Waqar bowling and if he is injured, was he injured before the match?

Yes he is and he was injured before match too. He was even unsure to play a day before. He was struck with the ball in first test match
I need to throw up! I'm glad the fielders droped those catches, these pathetic bowlers don't deserve any wickets. Saqalin plainly sucks! He is more suitable for ODI. I would rather prefer mushtaq ahemd for test! He is more of an aggressive spinner. Everyone sucks today!Top to bottm
No game plan..No discipline..Bad captaincy...
Zahid is a useless bowler more suitable for Indian team.
I'm telling you guys this pitch is not a batting paradise ,there were some bounce too,give some credit to SA . Wait and see Pakistani Batsmen will fail and also gonna make this pitch seem like a bowlers paradise
Even Younis khan looks better than Saqlain!
So he is injured but the stupid idiot still plays and basically Pakistan went in with 3 bowlers. This guy is mad.
With him at the helm of the captaincy we will win nothing and yes we will create many records in the process, like we did in Sharjah. Another one coming up here. The man is a moron.
3 Drop Catches
1- Gibbs was dropped at backward point by Yousuf Youhana off Mohammad Sami when he had made 29.
2- Gibbs gave another chance on 99 when a leaping Salim Elahi at midwicket could not hold a fierce pull off Mohammad Zahid.
3- Smith was dropped on 54 when a thick edge off Saqlain Mushtaq was put down by Younis Khan at slip.

I guess Indians ke hawa lagh gaee. How many more chance they need take these two off the ground ? aab plate meen rakh ker tu dainey say rahey ball. Pathetic fielding !
*GC Smith c Taufeeq Umar b Mohammad Zahid 151 *
SA 368/1.
Replaced by Kirsten.
Pakistan ke to lambi lag gai, ab bhool jao WC. oh me abhi thora bohat aur bura bhala kehnay laga tha PAK ko magar M. Zahid ne bacha lya with that wicket. :k:
