SA should not have got 331 when Kallis fell for 91 with the score on 205 -6 (effectively 64-6). Then Asif had Boucher plumb LBW when he was on 2 (again not given by mota Parker). That looked even plumber than the delivery that got rid of Kallis. At that stage Inzi must have been thinking of a target of 120-125. So SA got 65-70 runs perhaps too many.

183 is very gettable on this pitch which still looks good for batting. Application and patience will be the key.

That is it! They have 2 days left and all wickets in hand with a target of 183. If they loose this advantage then they should pack up and leave for home.

:insha: they will win!

If one of the 2 openers stays till lunch, then we have a genuine chance. It may actually be an interesting idea to send a tail-end pinch hitter (in this team, maybe sami) at 4th or 5th number to get 20-30 quick runs to lower the pressure.

Yeah, it depends on our openers a lot. but they usually disappoint us. oh well.

I agree, sending Sami earlier seems to be an interesting idea. It may actually work.

I don't think there is any need to experiment. If we can't chase down 183 runs on a good 4th day pitch with all wickets in hand then perhaps we should not be playing test cricket.

Nothing should stop from Pakistan to win today, they got through the tough period where they have to take 10 wickets without there strike bowler, they did pretty good job at it.

Batting lineup with Mohd Yousuf, Inzamam in form and Younis khan playing well, this target is really nothing to worry about.

Only chance of SA winning is if batsmen loose their nerve and get panic, their is't any thing disconcerning about the pithch aswell , I have my money on PAK.

Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 2nd Test - 19-23 Jan at Port Elizabeth

looks like we're going to make this as hard as possible

[fkhan2]

Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 2nd Test - 19-23 Jan at Port Elizabeth

Unfortunately farhat and hameed have gifted their wickets and have efficiently put middle order in pressure and Pakistan in trouble
