Not a bad score but they could have had 400 if they had controlled their hook shots.

His bowling is good no doubt…but he should thank the Pakistani batsmen for gifting him their wickets by ridiculous pull shots.

313 isn't that bad if they can restrict SA to somewhere between 300-350

(cricinfo)
Pakistan all out for 313, having at one stage been handily placed on 183 for 2. A bunch of happy hookers have let South Africa off the hook, but credit to Makhaya Ntini, who picked up the fine figures of 5 for 83. :D

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion

i think perhaps pakistan were about 70/80 runs short of a good total......the excess runs which Yusuf would have scored instead of Iqbal

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion

313 is defendable, especially with our attack (which would be more lethal with tthe inclusion of someone else).

Disappointing to have half ou batsmen throwing their wickets away through the hok shot.

Hopefully, SA won't get more than 350

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion

Hopefully won't be 300 by end of match.

Asif strikes!

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion

just the start we needed
2.5 Mohammad Asif to Smith, OUT, and there’s the breakthrough! And it’s the skipper who’s on his way. It’s that late seam movement that does for him as well - pushing forward and done like a kipper off the pitch. Kamran Akmal completes the catch

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion

Asif strikes again
