South Africa v Pakistan

[The Sleeping Giant]

Currently sa are 3/125. Pakistan bowling well. Kallis got his 50 then threw his wicket away when he looked like getting a 100. Amla still knocking up runs.

Pakistan have shown good restraint with drs, and have let some very close lbw appeals go unreviewed.

Amla OUT !!! Caught at 2nd slip off part timer Younis Kahn for 37
S.A. 4/135

[The Sleeping Giant]

Younus Khan gets Amla with his 2nd ball. This is a Pakistan I haven't seen for along time. Catching everything. SA 4/135.

Stumps Day 1
SA 253
Pak 0/6
Saffers lost 5/21 to end their innings

[The Sleeping Giant]

Dammit. Went to bed with half a session to go.

[Jim05]

Flicked it over when Du Plessis got out and then 7 overs later the innings was done.
Hope the Pakis can put together a decent innings and make a real game of it.

[wycbloods]

SA's top 7.

Lowest score of 20 and a highest score of 50.

That says more about the batting than the pitch to me.

Hafeez took 4/17. Handy cricketer he is.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Plenty in the pitch with the new ball. Pakis bowled good line and length.

Yep there a side with ALOT of potential talent!!

They will implode soon enough though

[The Sleeping Giant]

I don't know about that. Very good level headed captain and coach. Their catching and fielding is the best I have seen from them. The best thing last night was they had a couple of decisions go against them, but didn't drop their heads and stuck to a plan. This side beat England in a test series recently, and are just behind Australia in the world rankings.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Steyn smashing through the top order. Pak 3/12

[The Sleeping Giant]

So many good looking women in south Africa.

So many good looking women in south Africa.

Not wrong, consistently the best looking crowds in the world
As an aside, I met a South African couple when on tour in Europe last year and the guy talked and laughed exactly like this, but his missus was rather attractive.

Anyway another one down for the Pakis.
They're trying, but finding it very difficult against very good bowling.
Could be rolled for less than 100 like the Kiwis.

[The Sleeping Giant]

5 for 30 odd. 2 for kallis.

[jackpot jim]

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?

So many good looking women in south Africa.

Dude, quite amazing isn't it. One of the main reason while I like watching South Africa play.

[The Sleeping Giant]

The missus has made me change channel dammit.

You are getting sleepy.

Are you a man or a mouse? ... grab the remote off the bitch

[The Sleeping Giant]

Happy wife happy life..... Or something

[The Sleeping Giant]

All out for 49. New lowest score ever for Pakistan. Steyn 6 for 8.
