Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
Kaptaan jee…flat wicket par Sami kab effective hoa heay jo ab hota…Like Damad yeh bhee buhat Lucky banda heay…
Hanibal bhai kee theory main kuch wazan heay…but I don’t think Pak played it that way…they just wished that Sami / Gul / Tanvir 6-8 wickets nikaal detay in about 300 + runs…while the rest shared b/w AbdulRehman / Hafeez for anther 50 - 80…but it never happened..
Rather listless Sami threw pies most of the time…
Misbah should have tried more in bowling…maybe even himself to change the poor bowling of Sami and Gul…Younis was only given 3 overs…
Gul bowled 36 for 137 runs / 0 wicket
Sami 24 overs 101 runs / 0 wickets
However sami bowled 0 wides / 0 nb vs Gul and Tanvir. This shows his line was not erratic. Also the other 2 both bowled 6 maidens each where as Sami did not bowl even a single maiden.
He lacks penetration because of his poor length IMHO.
