Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
the big question is "how much longer can asif continue?"
as soon as he is off, the game will be totally different....
Crcinfo commentator remarks: If Asif doesn't stop bowling they should re-name his end 'The Mohammad Asif End' - he's part of the furniture now.

Big appeal..... spiderman says NO.
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
The fear is that other Pakistani bowlers will concede too many runs...
Lead just 111
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Pakistan putting up a great show.
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Asif needs 1 more wicket for his 50 wickets in Tests, Kaneria needs 2 more for 200.
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
We simply cannot afford to take him off strike.. sari mehnat ka bera gharak ho jaaiy ga.. only if asif can play another 45 mins.. he will then be recharged after lunch again
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
I hope Sami & Nazir will bowl with the same tightness as Kaneria and Asif… 
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
wow, 10 overs on the trot for this guy!!! man do we need some support from the other end!! we need 1 wicket!! cmon boyzzzzzzzz!
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
For those of you concerned about Mohammad Sami, he is on the field but has a bandage on the hand he injured late yesterday. Not sure whether he is fit to bowl, but we will keep you posted
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
1 wicket before lunch please comeon asif and kaneria!!!!
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town

Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
^ fully agreed
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Asif's pace has slowed down considerably.. his run up is looking too tired.. this is his 12th over
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
South Africa does have a long batting lineup. Even if one of these gets out, there's still de Villiers, Boucher and Hall to come.
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Yeah they have batsmen till number 9. And then Ntini can hit too.. :(
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town

Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Pakistan need 2 more wickets before lunch...
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Asif has been rested.. sami in now.. let the runfest begin 
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Well, its not easy hitting out there, dont forget these are specialist batsman and they finding it difficult. And pitch will further detriot. Sami on now, best of luck
Re: South Africa vs. Pakistan - 3rd Test - Jan Fri 26 - Tue 30 at Cape Town
Asif finally has been replaced. Sami in
