South Africa v Pakistan

[The Sleeping Giant]

Just looking at the dismissals, and only a couple of bad shots. The ball is swinging, moving off the pitch, crazy bounce. Unbelievable.

[stampy]

come got 6/8

[Squids]

Love to see the Pakistanis getting owned, arrogant tools.

Agreed, and that's coming from a bloke who doesn't like the Saffers much too. But hell, they can play cricket.

[RustyCage]

I love watching South Africa, they play a great style of cricket

[CENTURION]

Pakistan 6/39

And now 7/39

Seen the last 3 wkts fall, all slashing at balls wide of off stump. It's TEST cricket FFS, Havent any batsmen got any patience these days?

they are learning too many bad habits by playing slog-fest on their days off.

[Phantom Gossiper]

How good is SAF.. that's now what 3 sides they have rolled for less than 50 in 12 months! Unbelievable!

But you do have to wonder, is it a sign of how strong they are, or an indication of the decline in standard of cricket around the world? Has T20 cricket effectively killed test match cricket??

In my opinion, we were the better of the 2 teams during the recent 3 match test series, we were unlucky to lose the first 2 & obviously lost the 3rd.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Thank jeebus they don't have a world class spinner.

[The Dark Knight]

Got to love watching South Africa, the way they go about their cricket has been outstanding. They have developed the ability to dominate their opposition for long periods of time during a test match like we did when we were on top in years gone by.

And there's much more I can say about Dale Steyn, he is a legend. With the way he's going do people on here think he could potentially be the greatest quick to ever to play the game by the end of his career? Surely he'd be up there with McGarth, Walsh, Hadlee, Pollock and Akram by the time he retires? He's played 63 test matches and is 29 so he has at least another five/six years still in him.

South Africa declared at 3/275 leaving Pakistan with 480 to win in 8 sessions, though there is a fair bit of rain on the way

Pak currently 1-53, Hafeez out, Philander got him

[jackpot jim]

[CENTURION]

[quote="jackpot jim"]4/105 Lights on, getting dark, game over

[Brodlach]

At stumps

4/183 needing another 297 to win

Still another 2 days to play

[The Sleeping Giant]

Going to have to rain a lot to save Pakistan.

Going to have to rain a lot to save Pakistan.

I'd look at the odds for what session the game will finish. Load up on anything that looks 'strange'...

[Squids]

6 overs till the new ball. I would say 2nd session day 4 assuming the rain stays away. The Pakistan tail is terrible.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Tail is wagging OK atm.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Game over. Steyn 11 for the match. De Villiers equals world record for 11 catches in the match.

[dedja]

you can give the remote back to the missus now ...
