PAK 99/3
And now the crowd erupt as Inzamam comes to the crease for maybe the last time, might get another knock here… the South Africans form an column for him to walk on through, taps on the back for the players and from Yousuf, touching gesture that from South Africa***

I will blame Younis Khan.
Butt did his job... if Younis would not have thrown his wickets at the time we needed him (which he does mostly anyway), we would have a good session ahead... let's see how these two haq's jell together...

Yousuf gone. and with him chances of a big Pakistan lead.
123-4
What lead? We will do well now to get close to the SA total whereas only 45 minutes ago I was really thinking in terms of a first innings lead. It is going to be very difficult for Pakistan to force a result in their favour. Talk about being inconsistent and unpredictable....90 for none quickly became 123/4!

Inzi's chance to make his first test century against SA. This is also Misbah's chance to justify his selection in the test squad....his previous best being 28.

*Once again, don't pick Akhtar. You don't think he could have cleaned up the tail within the score of 300? What the hell were Asif and Gul doing out there? Pathetic bowling by both pacers. No wonder Dr. Nasim Ashraf will send Akhtar on the trip to India along with the rest of the shmucks.
Batting? Don't even get me started. It doesn't f'ing matter what the opening partnership is; the scorecard must read 100 for 4. I'm f'ing sick of this nonsense of throwing matches away.*
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore
It's not a matter of Shoaib not getting picked... rather Shoaib making himself "unavailable" for selection through his actions. Hitting your own teammate ranks right up there with killing babies.
Having said that, I hope he gets picked for India tour and lasts the whole tour.
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa: 2ND TEST MATCH (Oct 8-12) @ Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore
What a pity? Finally when we got a decent opening-partnership we just could n't make it count. And instead of finishing day 2 in a comfortable position, we now find ourselves possibly staring at a 2-0 series loss/white-wash (unless there's an Inzi special on day 3)
