What a great day for Pakistan, our bowling is improving in every match, every bowler was impressive except Mushy, I am having doubts over his ability to bowl in international cricket.
He is the Graham Hick version of Pakistan, who does well in county but ordinary in international cricket. But in the end, he took the biggest wicket of the day of Gibbs, I am happy with him.
Our seam bowlers were awesome, who says you need pace to take wickets on this flat pitches.
Good disciplined bowling is what was required from the 2 and thats what they did.
But I have to admit, most of the wickets fell was due to irresponsible batting by the South African batsmen.
Kaneria was awesome as usual.
Now our batsman need to dig in and score 500 odd runs in the next 2 days to take this series.
i am just surprized by the extras...they r really improving...i'm used to seeing 15-20 in every match but ....

well the main sulprits sami and akhtar are not playing that is why extras are a mere 6. with them in the team, opposition is always playing with a 12th man who ends up scoring like 15-20 in every innings :p
Lets try and get them out as son as possible. Second day's play is about to begin and we should try as many overs as possible to today without loosing too many wickets. Best of luck to Pakistan. Go Taufeeq and Imran, give us another good start.
