Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
This pitch is still good for batting. Pakistan should be able to draw this match, hopefully.
Oh, I don't know about that. Odds still stacked heavily against Pakistan. A draw isn't impossible but a collapse is far more likely.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
Remember 2 overs are lost in transition of innings if that's any consolation.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
if SA declare now, that will leave pak with just about 25-30 overs to bat n survive...almost a session...which means atleast 1-2 wks for SA...
Kallis on 99* - lead of 421runs
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
Kallis - 100* :k: 
263/7 lead of 422 … match is for SA to take… :k:
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
SA lead by 423.
Pakistan have 4 sessions to survive.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
finally the declaration at 264/7, overall lead of 423 runs…
tea taken…
tough task for pak…they always play to save test matches…seems like winning is never part of the plan…
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
SA declare with lead of 423 and they've taken tea.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
The Pakistan players all run towards Kallis to either shake his hand or to pat him on the back, great sportsmanship shown by the hosts
The lead is 423 and Tea will be taken now, we will be back in 15 minutes
What an effort however from Kallis, both hundreds scored under trying conditions and something that he will remeber for a long time, class player
Match State: Tea - Day 4
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
more like trying to rub some of that batting form off kallis on to themselves…

Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th

Worst possible start for Pakistan, but a poor shot, that was very wide and yet he chased it

Steyn to Salman Butt, OUT, WHAT A CATCH, brilliant by Amla at short leg, got forward on line, big inside edge, Amla dives forward, and claims a brilliant catch, TV replays shows that he did get fingers under the ball, a catch that we are going to see over and over a

Someone go tell Younis this aint 20/20.
he did not even know he was playing 20/20 last time he was playing 20/20... Sir jee.. Younis Khan is not a batsman... I have only seen him making runs against India.. He's only a good fielder and that's that...
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
pak not interested in the 5th day play. wants to get done with this test match today. :k: good for them. 5th day is for mojain mundayo… :halo:
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
ok jee... might as well get a couple of hours of sleep b4 heading to work.
Koi haal nahi - Butt sahab needs to take some time off and work on his technique.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa - 1st Test Match @ NSK- Oct. 1st-5th
YK in a hurry i guess...42 runs off 38 balls with 7 fours...:p but rite now quick/fast scoring is not as important as keeping his wicket safe.
PAK : 67/2
