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

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

hahahahaha

As Faisal walk towards the pavilion, he reaches the stairs and starts to climb, as he passes by couple of fans standing on the side. They stick out their hand to shake with Faisal, he doesn't even bother to look at them as he pass by them. Than one of the fan says something which make Faisal look at them. Something like pan****.....

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

Kallis to Faisal Iqbal, OUT, Would you believe it? The fatal Pakistani attraction with the pull shot continues. Kallis banged it short, at the body of Faisal who goes for an impulsive pull, doesn't make proper contact and it bounds off the gloves, in the air, for Boucher to hold a dolly.

Future super star of Pakistan cricket .............

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

Choka by Akmal

Pak 215/5

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

A 50 by Akmal and a 100 by Inzi or A 50 by Inzi and a 100 by Akmal will see Pak through.

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

Pak needs 350+ on this wicket to have a decent total for first innings.

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

Pak 228/5

Inzi 28
Akmal 11

10 overs left for the day.

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

Well guided choka by Akmal.

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

He may not be even good at that as the person he sledges may not understand what he is trying to say.

I hope and looking forward when the this little mupet attempts to sledge someone like Smith.

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

SA takes the 2nd new ball.

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

Faisal should realise that he's not even good enough to lick the soles of his legendary uncle's boots. Miandad atleast walked the talk.

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

Inzi survives an outside edge and goes for 4 through 2nd slip.

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

i think 350 should be a minimum for the first innings

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

Really pathetic... ek nahi, do nahi.... teen teen ch kaheen ke, chalo atleast Younis and Yasir managed to score 60+ before getting done as hooker (or a failed hooker :D).

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

Pakistan 242/5 (84.0 ov) end of day (bad light).

Situation could've been much better had our batsmen showed a little more temprament. Anyway, don't know how good this wicket is (swing/bounce) but 242/5 looks okay for now, if they can manage it to pull 350+ then that should be good.

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

Bad light stopped play and gives chance for Inzi to have more food..........

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

At 183-2 , 400 looked very gettable but sadly three injudicious pull shot triggered dismissals have allowed SA to finish day 1 on even terms. Pakistan could still reach 400 if Inzi scores a hundred or Akmal gets going.

I have noticed one thing.......Pakistan tend to lose wickets in a heap after the tea interval. This was also the pattern during their last tour of Australia in 2004.

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

I can understand if Faisal came in at a crucial position when Pakistan were like 50/4 or something and then he has to just play tuk tuk… But he came in at 193/4 and he played like he had to stop everything. He played 26 balls for 1 run. What a pathetic patheic player.

Interesting to compare Faisal Iqbal with Yasir Hameed as both of them are playing in their 18th Test Match. Just look at the average, even though Yasir is not that great of a player but just see the class between these two despite that fact. And Yasir has never been out on Duck. ** Faisal has 2 not outs as well yet his average is only 26**

I just threw in Asim Kamal stats for kicks, to show that even he is much better than “khadda” Faisal.
