I hope we can get them under 300 tomorrow and then play 4-5 sessions and get lead of 150+ !
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore
Pakistan have a real chance of getting Saffies out under 300. Pakistan has a long batting lineup, hopefully they will get a lead of at least 200 runs, inshallah.
** Good Luck, Pakistan!**

Just as an aside, does anyone find Waqar Younis's commentary extremely irritating. First of all, he brings absolutely nothing to the table. I'm absolutely certain that some joe schmoe off the streets can do a better job than him.
Also, his accent is quite head scratching. He needs to decide what accent to stick with while he's in the commentary box. One moment he tries to sound like an Australian and 15 minutes later, he starts to sound like a desi South African. Honestly, it just gets on my nerve so bad.
Just one of the pet peeves that I intended to share for a long time and saw this as a good opportunity to bring it forth.

^ Waqar as commentator has been bashed before
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore
so... Pakistan's first day of test match fetches 3 pages of comments and India's 4th ODI 13 pages. This leads to only 2 conclusions..
- You all Pakistani secretly admire Indians.
- You definitly hate test cricket. No wonder your test team sucks.
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore
^ Yes that should be our game plan....bowl SA out for < 350....bat sensibly and try and get a 150-200 lead which will set the game up nicely for Kaneria and Rehman to try and finish things off in the last 1.5-2 days. A slender first innings lead or deficit will almost guarantee a draw and a South African series victory.
So you expect this team to score 500 runs which has only one batsman in team ( Younis Khan).
Openers suck....
Captain is not test class batsman.
Your 2 best batsmen YoYo and Inzi are very short on practice and have not played serious cricket with much success for 6 months.
I will be surprised if this team scores more than 350 in either of the innings.

After listening Danish I suggest we should send each player to play county cricket at least for a season.

I think Waqar's commentary is just fine. He's one of the better Pakistani commentators, better than Raja even.
I don't have a problem understanding his accent either, he's pretty easy to understand. I don't know why people bash him so much.
