Re: South Africa in England 2012
Good for Amla. It is just physically impossible to fast and play for 5 successive days of a test
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Very interesting stat
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Go Amla Go !!! 295*
To the people watching the game.. so many high scores.. whats the pitch like?
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Amla 300 :icono:
first ever triple century by a south african batsman…!!
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Well played Amla. 
Re: South Africa in England 2012
300 to Brother Amla. Masha’Allah. Subhan Allah. Alhamdulilah.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Congrats! Above poster took away all the phrases. Does Jazakallah count?
Re: South Africa in England 2012
He’s brother amla only cuz hes muslim?
Don’t divide humanity.
We are all brothers. I suspect you would not say brother singh if he was Hashim Singh from SA.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Though in our religion all are considered brothers n sisters (unless other relationship exists) but we only call someone ‘brother’ who is ‘religious’ and achieves something good 
Re: South Africa in England 2012
England (2nd innings) 89/4
Pressure (huge first innings deficit) telling on England who are hurtling to defeat.
The wicket is probably still very good for batting
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Thank you English!
( phrase borrowed w/o permission)
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Nah, I don’t think so. :no: Jazakallah is an expression of gratitude, so unless Amla saved children from a school bus that fell into River Thames while scoring his triple century, I am not sure we can use this expression.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Oh shoot! I type corrected! Thanks for not’n Sup!
Re: South Africa in England 2012
IMO nothing wrong in having special celebration if one can identify more closely with a player. So yes - in this case desi and religion are those characteristics.
Growing up Pataudi represented south zone - that was one factor in him being my idol. Of course later I learnt he is from far north. Some of my favorites from that era - Vishwanath Prasanna Venkat Kirmani Chandra Abid Ali. Just had a soft corner.
Of course Madman Lal Mohinder Amarnath Bedi were also favorites. But the heart would automatically support Tamil Unadulterated against dominating Bombay in Ranjk trophy - just the way it was.
IMO your post was unfair to Waleed.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Sharabee Bro
Whenever I Have Talked With You I Have Referred you as Brother Even u can check the previous posts …So dun know from where u brought up this?
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Amla’s respect and stature just keeps growing day by day.. :k:
England got owned in this match.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
If Kallis (he is 2.5 years younger than Sachin) continues his current rich vein of form, Tendulkar’s centuries record will be under threat

Re: South Africa in England 2012
You’re right brother!! I take it back. I didn’t mean you diss non muslim cricket fraternity. Just meant that there is extra support just cuz he is muslim.. although of Indian origin 
I mean, I don’t cheer extra for Shivnaraine Chanderpaul or Rampaul from WI just cuz they’re Hindu?
Either way, no big deal.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
Kallis is a true champion. Besides Tests, I really give him a lot of credit for adapting to modern ODI and T20 play with fast RR and big shots.. something that is not first nature to him.
I hope he gets to 50 100s.
Re: South Africa in England 2012
I don’t know why Mallissa’s not mentioned in the same breath as Sobers. He is so good with bat and ball.
