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

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

Farhat just survived one... ball didn't carry to the fielder

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

sir make it 5 plumb :slight_smile:

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

Younis hooks a ball along the ground (for a change) for four

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

BTW, I thought Malinga’s bowling action was weird, Nel isn’t much different. Malinga’s arm movement is weird when leaving the ball while Nel’s hip/legs movement is weird… sorta ‘bhengi taangain’ :cb:

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

I didn't see SAffie batsmen's LBW decisions not given, but Younis survived one, though it was not 'plumb'.

Younis survived another out... run out this time.

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

Farhat very lucky to survive a run out attempt. Suicidal run. :mad:

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

pakistan trying hard to mess it up…
:mad:
2 down and could have been 3 out…

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

and captain you are right...
seems like lbws are going both ways

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

pak needs 100 from younis and INZI with a follow up 50 from akmal...
we can pretty much pass on faisal munna
maybe a 10 or 15 from him

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

Younis survives a run out appeal.

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

from Cricinfo:
Harris to Younis Khan, no run, huge shout for lbw, then they appealed for a bat and pad catch. That was hitting the middle stump. Pretty plumb. Arm ball, lands on the off stump line, and goes on with the arm, Younis pushes forward in defence and is hit low on the front pad. It was hitting middle. Umpire Bucknor turns it down. The story of the day.

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

^ yes, it was going straight to middle but his stride way-forward put the doubt in umpire.

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

If Harrison is turning this much on third, I wonder if Pakistan gets good lead, it will be a very good contest between Kaneria and SA. I think even lead of 200 will do wonders. That is what I think!!!

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

100/2......my dbox starting working, so I can see live cricket at last..

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

100 up for Pakistan :jhanda:

4 runs of deficit

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

Andrew Nel was immitating youni smile . Umpire Intervine. I think NEL does this a lot, yupping all the time. Rameez said, constantly talking, he needs ball to do the talking....Well said.

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

200/250 will be enough.

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

Difficult batting at the moment against spin. Damn YOunis survived very loud apeal, but ball was going high. Hopefully this pair will survive tonight. Umpire getting together....light is very low. Umpire offer the light and batsman leaving the feild....Nice one.

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

Smith still arguing with umpire about light...

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

Bad light stops play. Pak 103/2
