Well Asif has an elbow injury, hence the few overs. And Butt is crap, he is just not test standard. Neither is Hafeez, Iqbal, Rao, and half the squad. :(

Hope they dont lose this game, a win is very unlikely. 1-0 is much better then 2-0, as in that case it would mean a whitewash at home. :(

At best we will be able to draw the match. Difficult though but well played Akmal and Younis to see the day out.

If this results in Butt being dropped than all the better.

The first session tomorrow will be crucial, if we can get through that without much damage than they can look towards a draw.

We were 90/1 in first inning, so this 108/1 is not really cheer-able until end of the day-5 if our middle order can carry it on.

If we don't loose any wicket till lunch tomorrow, there is a very good chance we may win the match. Well its too early to say anything at the moment.

We can only pray but well played Younis and Akmal.........

This Pakistani team is very unpredictable, may be 150 All Out! may be a draw, or even may be winning by couple of wickets.
Uger thori bhi shuram kur lain tu Pakistan should win to prove that they are better than minows....
350 in 90 overs is achievable. If these two bat till lunch with 60 more runs on board, then they should play like a one day match after lunch.
Come On, give Inzamam a last win!

Dont get your hopes high folks. Remember the previous 3 innings. I think we will be all out by tea. Kallis is deservingly the MOM and Man of Series.

^ I agree, we were hoping to win the last test match and we were bowled out before we knew it. I am being realistic and don't expect much resistance from Pakistan on the last day. Our batsmen will pee in their pants when a nobody Paul Harris takes a wicket. I hope I am proved wrong but...

^ it can happen (crumbling of our batting line up) if they try to "save" it (defensive) which is the most likely case.

Butt shines once again (not with the bat). I wish they could have banned him for couple of games.

Cricket-Pakistan’s Butt fined for umpiring outburst

LAHORE, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Pakistan’s vice captain Salman Butt has been fined 50 percent of his match fee for his outburst against some of the umpiring decisions in the test series against South Africa.

International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee Alan Hurst said Butt had been fined after being found guilty of public criticism and inappropriate comment on a match-related incident or match official.

Butt criticised some umpiring decisions on Thursday during the second test, saying they had gone against Pakistan.

Pakistan will be all-out just before Tea for a paltry 234. Just wait and see. You funatics haven't learned the lessons from less than a week ago? Keep dreaming about draw and whatnot. Oye hutiyo, learn one thing...there is NO draw when a team is chasing 350 on the final day.

Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore

Another great knock by Jacque Kallis. A very strong and solid player, really true World class batsman.

For me and with lots of neutrals he has been one of the top 5 batsmen over the past years years along with Lara, Tendulkar, Ponting and Dravid.

Has anyone actually seen him during his protests? What exactly happened that he had to be put under 50% of his match fees?

Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore

A century each by Younis, Yousif, and Inzi.... and Pakistan wins! :)

Thank you!

Makes me wonder why Yousuf did not come forward with his own statement, rather than echoing it through Butt (not even the captain, but a vice-captain).

Even though it was an "I think" statement, displaying dissent at any umpire's decision is not conducted within the parameters of the game. A Level 1 offense, forgiven (for now). I will remain with him until the end of Australia series. Afterwards, if found guilty, a serious hanging is in order.
