I think we need to select that Runaway Keeper Again ..... i know he acted stupid but then there have been worse things to happen to pakistan cricket ..... Atleast that guy fought it out
We have to admit that right now there is no Sanga, Dhoni, Gilchris or Prior waiting in the ranks to be selected
So wee need for the test matches a reliable Keeper who can fight it out on temprament if not on Talent & Technique

300 up for PAK … 
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
yesterday I said that SA are a new ball attack. Here is one quote from cricinfo:
vijay: "Interesting stats there with regard to Pakistan's batting. The fiirst four wickets felll within 17 overs of the first new ball for 33 runs. There second four wickets fell within 16 overs of the second new ball for 30 runs. In between they have scored 205 runs.

^ confirms NEW Ball = Pakistan's NEMESIS
Good partnership b/w Ajmal and Irfan, important runs
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
^ Ajmal and Tanvir.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
PAK ends up with 338 in the first innings, a decent total i must say …
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
338 all out
Tanvir made 44. Well played
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Cricinfo:
12.32pm: At lunch Pakistan are bowled out. Rearguard action from Ajmal and Tanvir has taken Pakistan to a respectable 338, many feared they would be rolled over inside the first hour. When the ball gets older and doesn't swing as much, the SA bowlers can be negotiated. This effort by Pakistan has given the hosts something to think about.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
a decent total but difficult to say anything until South Africa have batted as well

True and Pakistan is going to miss Junaid.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Yonis drops Smith and Tanvir looking completely out of rhythm. I am just waiting to see Irfan bowl.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Tanvir is the worst opening bowler i hve ever seen , no pace, no swing, no control … what is he doing in Pak squad … 
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
This could be expensive:
2.2
Umar Gul to Smith, 2 runs, Dropped by Younis Khan at second slip! Of all people... this was pitched on a good length and shaping away and he poked his bat out, thick outside edge and it went at a comfortable height, yet it slipped out
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
I remember seeing him bowl during NZ-Pak series and he was much faster in pace and swung it nicely both ways. Don’t know if he has lost that in last couple of years or just having a bad day because Umar Gul from the other end seems to be swinging the ball and bowling with decent pace too.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Commentators saying that it might be because he is bowling into gutsy wind!
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Wind or no wind, South Africa are at 50/2. 
And me likey!
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Both wickets to Ajmal.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Class bowling from him, and about time too.
He has a bit to cover up after the first test.
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Amla Gone
Ajmal cheeta strikes again
This Steve Davis is one blind umpire
Re: 2nd Test Pakistan Vs. South Africa - Feb. 14, 2013, Newlands, Capetown RSA
Amla gone
SA 84/3
All 3 to Ajmal.
