exactly, our bowling just had three strike bowlers with mushy struggling, so its quite an achivement. :k:
*Congratulations to every pakistani well-wisher on KK Forum *

Mabrook Mabrook Mabrook......
What an exciting test series.....as exciting as any one say international.
COngratulations to everyone on winning the test series...
Congrats to everyone for a series win :k: 302 was a challenging total to achieve and was difficult I am glad that our lads didn’t loose wickets trying to chase the score though we were down to last acknowledged batsmen pair defending their wickets, but still its a good achievement.
:bhangra: :bhangra:
Great performance by Pak and SA.
Some good restraint shown by Moin and Shoaib they kept the nerves intact and sail Pakistan to Series Win. At one point it was looking like Pak will win the series with 2:0 but some very good bowling by Pollock and Nitini forced Pakistan to play for a draw.
At one point Moin tried to cut the ball that was way outside the off stump and missed the ball by an inch (in 92nd over I guess) and Amir Sohail was like “Had he got an edge over that ball he would have been most wanted guy in dressing room” other commentator was like “well here is what you don in this case, you exit the stadium from other door, cross the golf course by foot and take a bus to home. Don’t show up in dressing room” 
Deaoo at one point said “If these kids keep on playing like this and keep themselves fit, Pakistan will be #1 team of the world in 2 years” :k:
Amir sohail kamina never (not even once) praised “management” (Miandad) for the performance in test series and he was criticizing Miandad on all 3 ODI we lost.
Great win for Pak, though I would have preferred 2-0 then 1-0, but winning is winning
Pakistan had a good chance of winning but irresponsible batting from Hameed, Razzaq and Inzi cost us.
I'm pretty sure Pakistan would have won, if Shoaib Akhtar and Mohd Sami had played.
A draw without the services of Shaoib and Sami is as good if not better than a win. South Africa got a ganda anda for being pussy cats.
Just before the test sereis, this is what ex-national selector - Pat Symcox said:
“We’re well equipped to beat them in the Test matches - we’ve got momentum on our side,” says Symcox. “Pakistan have also seen that pace is not going to beat us. We’ve shown we can handle Shoaib Akhtar and co., and I would think the guys are pretty confident right now. Pakistan have to look at other avenues now. I don’t know if they have got the batsmen to post really big scores.”
Symcox went on: “I would have gone the spinners’ route from the beginning and played Shoaib plus one other seamer, and then had Saqlain [Mushtaq] and Mushie [Mushtaq Ahmed] bowling. But to use your spinners well you need to post big scores, and I don’t think they’ve got the batters to do that.”
After all the bans nd fines, Pakistan took the control. I guess he was thinking we win only because of Shoaib. He is a big factor but he ain’t the only one.
He must be eating his words 
PAKISTAN ZINDABAAD!
Taufeeq and Inzamam help Pakistan to a draw!

October 28, 2003
Pakistan 348 and 242 for 6 (Taufeeq Umar 71, Inzamam-ul-Haq 60) drew with South Africa 278 and 371
The South Africans threw in everything they could, but they fell just short of achieving a series-levelling win, as Pakistan drew the second Test at Faisalabad and wrapped up the series 1-0. When Inzamam-ul-Haq and Abdul Razzaq were dismissed off successive balls with 14 overs still left, South Africa sniffed an improbable series-levelling win. But Shoaib Malik and Moin Khan hung on grimly under fading light, surviving with resolute defence and a generous slice of luck. In the end neither team could claim a distinct advantage: Pakistan were 60 runs short of their target, while South Africa were four wickets away from victory.
Taufeeq Umar (71) and Inzamam (60) led the way for Pakistan, while the South Africans were let down by their spinners and - more surprisingly - their catching, usually the most reliable aspect of their game. Mark Boucher dropped Taufeeq and Herschelle Gibbs spilled Inzamam, but the drop which perhaps cost them the match was Gary Kirsten's missed chance off Malik towards the end of the day.
Pakistan saw off most of the first two sessions with scarcely any alarms, but the second new ball – taken after tea – paid immediate dividends for South Africa. Inzamam, who had motored along to a half-century after a tentative start, inexplicably shouldered arms to a Makhaya Ntini indipper which was heading towards middle and leg. Simon Taufel had little hesitation in ruling in favour of the bowler (209 for 5). That was the last ball of Ntini's over. Off the first ball of Shaun Pollock's next over, Razzaq (10) showed that he had learnt nothing from Inzamam's shocking lack of judgment, shouldering arms to a Pollock delivery which nipped in slightly and took the off stump.
From a position where they were fighting to save the Test, South Africa were suddenly pressing for a win. Then came the crucial dropped catch: a short ball from Ntini took the shoulder of Malik's bat and, incredibly, went all the way to Kirsten at fine leg, who ran around to get to the ball, and then spilled a regulation chance. With that miss went South Africa's hopes of victory.
In the first two sessions, there was little to suggest the drama that happened towards the end. Pakistan's batsmen were intent on survival before lunch, an attitude which resulted in just 55 runs from 30 overs. Imran Farhat and Yasir Hameed fell during that period. Farhat made a painstaking 8 before he was adjudged lbw off Ntini, when *replays suggested that the ball would have missed off *(18 for 1).
Hameed (17) started off in positive fashion, flicking Kallis for two fours, but the South Africans soon switched to short-pitched bowling, and Hameed fell for the bait, pulling Ntini straight to Boeta Dippenaar at square leg (46 for 2).
Then came the best passage of play for Pakistan, as Inzamam and Taufeeq stitched together a 79-run partnership. Inzamam started tentatively, but grew in confidence, unleashing some powerful cover-drives off either foot. With Taufeeq playing some trademark drives down the ground, Pakistan scored 92 in the afternoon session. Though Taufeeq was dismissed in that session, caught by Graeme Smith at mid-on when he failed to time a lofted shot off Robin Peterson, Pakistan had laid the foundation to make a serious assault on the target. The South Africans had other ideas, though, and in the end, it needed some gritty batting from the lower order to ensure that Pakistan saved the Test.
graeme smith never once gave credit to the pakistanis. he just keeps making excuses like it shd have been a 3 test series n stuff .. wat a cry ass…
newayz pakistan were amazing in this game n even after 2 wrong decisions managed to salvage a draw.. amazing stuff from them
Pakistan Zindabad!!!
:bhangra:
Do we need his stinkin’ appreciation to appreciate ourself? Hell No. Just about everyone knows the better team won. And we stood a better chance of winning this match as well, had our key players not been missing. And those that were there were ill. Shoaib Malik, Razzaq, Kaneria, Sami, Youhana. How many injuries did we have this series.

Cry me a frickin’ river. It was probably S.African players’ idea to cancel the Pakistan tour in the first place. Remember Boucher’s degrading remarks?
They got what they deserved. First ever series loss to Pakistan, which could’ve been a “white wash” easily.
Congrats to every Pakistanni in the whole world. every Pakistan's cricket Well wisher..
and I thank Teaser,LahoriMunda for all there effort in telecasting the matches. all the hard work needs a lot of appreciation..
