Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
When the pitches are not helpful to the bowlers...they should try some tricky bowling techniques...which I think Pak bowlers don't have...or they should have...lol

SA 157/4...lead is 307
lol...it looks though as SA are trying to save this game... :D

^^ seems like a dead match unless Pakistan do something spectacular tomorrow to make it thrilling....like a middle order collapse and late order/tail hitting Fest...... :D
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
don't understand South Africa's tactics. They should've accelerated and set Pakistan a target of around 400 in the last day. This is useless cricket
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
SA playing for a draw :D
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
SA doesn’t seem to have much faith in their bowlers. 
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
But we got enough faith in our batsmen :@:

Stumps Day 4
SA 173/4...lead is 323
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
Well their slow bowlers weren’t successful against Pakistani batsmen on day 4, 5 of the first test…
Younis is a slow starter and I am sure seeing Azhar and Misbah, and Asad hold the fort in the first innings, Saffies are now a little unsure
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
Pakistani bowlers did a good job not allowing SA all out in last 5/10 overs. SA will be in 2 minds if they should bat 1 hour in the morning or not. hopefully we will draw the test.
See thats why it was even MORE IMPORTANT to go after target in first match. That would have scared SA to death and they would have certainly batted for couple of hours tomorrow morning.....
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
Cricinfo:
Certainly not the most exciting phase in the history of Tests. South Africa lead by a significant margin - 323 will be a tough chase - but one would have expected them to step up some more to extend the advantage they have. Will they make Pakistan bat from the outset tomorrow, or will they try to smack it around a few overs? The track is taking turn, as Rehman showed, and Pakistan will have to bat determinedly tomorrow in conditions a little more challenging than what they have been so far. (C)
Well if they do bat more tomorrow then for sure this is a dead match. Otherwise, 324 to get in 90 overs is quite get-table so long as the ball comes on to the bat enough and the bounce does not completely die down...
Re: 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi - Nov 20-24, 2010
