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

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

I am still hoping mad about hameed and his suicidal run out.

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

Akmal needs to cool down and need to be selective on his shot. He is the last hope after him its going to be a bumpy ride. I hope stays there till Pak need 15-20 runs for victory. InshAllah

^ Teaser lets hope we can pull this one out of the hat. Inshallah

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

I would blame it on Farhat and Yasir Hameed. They were playing like they were sold out. Had they batted properly it would have been very easy.

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

cricinfo says akhtar will be available to bat after the fall of 6th wicket

i guess he will be using a runner

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

end of over, drinks interval

current partnership 30 of 40 runs.
Akmal 17*
Younis 40*

69 needed for victory, 20 more runs and we will bring the target under 50

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

Akhtar can bat after the fall of 6th wicket

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

Yes thats what I am hoping for. InshAllah. Seeing Akmal’s luck it seems like God is with us…all we need to do is “InshAllah” :slight_smile:

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

take that last wicket partnership of 40 runs and we would have been really close by now.

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

lets hope we dont have to bank on Sami, Shoaib or any of the tailenders, Inshallah

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

These two have to stay together till at least 20/30 odd runs are left.

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

But than umpire had to step in and take his revenge.

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

don't expect any changes in pakistan batting line up for the next game, this is one of the reasons why farhat and co take the liberty of playing irresponsibly, they know there won't be any repercussions

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

1 run by younis and akmal now will be facing Nel

68 needed

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

I think Younis is the key here. Even if Akmal falls, Younis can still do it with tailenders however it Younis falls it will be hard for Akmal

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

akmal comprehensively beaten by Nel

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