some funny news is that sohail tanvir is in sotuh africa, some say hes not confuse????? ok toss about to take place

pak won toss, and we would bowl first.
changes:ajmal removed for tanveer ahmad. Sami in for wahab riaz and the best is umar akmal removed for asad shafiq.

this team is more tough, thx god umar akmal has been kicked out finnily

What the.....He's fielding first !!!??

lol who cares, i enjoy seeing Pakistan bowl then bat

hahah ahmad takes it

yess tanvir ahmad, firs over first game first wicket

out yess 2nd gone

tanvir ahmad chaa giya hai

how did ashoka even get in to international cricket as an umpire???

the guy who appionted him, must be a fool

chacha cricket rocks

Tanvir bowling decent pace and hitting the pitch hard. Very Devon Malcom-ish action.

The boy is from Kuwait, need to sharpen my interview tools.

Admin you please remove that banner picture of mohammad sami

i dnt knw what he dne to deserved this

man of man some losers never understand even after 35 test matches

Admin CAN you please remove that banner picture of mohammad sami

i dnt knw what he HAS dne to deserved this

man of man some losers never understand even after 35 test matches

Sami is stupid, can't control anything. Also he didn't even appeal when it was out!

Stupid umpiring also.

10 Minutes until play starts. We need to start Lunch session with quick wickets. We should try and get them all out for less then 300 max.

They need to control their bowling, all of them. Mohammed Sami should just fly back to Pakistan and never come back on tour.

I think this will be his last game for Pakistan unless he performs superbly. 13 Comeback he has made, and I think this should be his final one but you never know with Pakistan.

youre right sixer,i aggree.

& Sharukh what do you mean by Sohail Tanvir in South Africa?

Expand on it please.

Thanks.

Play is just about to start in the lunch session.

All I'm saying is EARLY WICKETS!!!

I'll keep you updated.

Umar akmal is gem

pakistan dne bad by dropping him

now not a single attaching batsmen in this line up

just look at hosw south africa made a come back after being 50/3

they attacked attacked attacked attacked

whose gna attack for pakistan?
Oh i c azhar ali the blocker or shafiaq the blocker?

Hmmm

nothing personal agains these guys
but its 2010 you need atleast 1/2 attackin batsmen

and pakistan have gne backwards big time in this match

Jacques Kallis hits a brillaint cut shot, Tanvir Ahmed offering room to Kallis and Kallis delivers.

I totally disagree with you, Test matches you don't need attacking batsman such as Umar Akmal. We haven't seen Kallis or Devilliers do anything Extravagant. They have just put away the bad balls.

Umar Akmal is a one day players whereas Asad Shafiq is patient and offers some stability to the middle order.

Also Mohammed Hafeez is attacking it the way Kallis is. Hafeez will put the bad balls away.

If you don't know about test cricket, don't talk about it!

Keep disagreeing m8

who cares

when u start your career you bound to get out in odd ways some time here and there

who dosent?

Problem with pakistan cricket is when u bring back 36 years old baba as captain

he wnt bring in young talent trust me
we had this with inzi b4
he didnt got any new batsmen ........so that he dnt lose middle order spot
same here
bunch of losers

(I am a big fan of Umar Akmal, but I believe he shouldn't play test cricket)

Since the Australlia & New Zealand tour, what has Umar Akmal provided in test matches apart from 79*

He isn't a test match player any more, He has followed Afridi's steps by trying to be a big hitter but he must remember that Afridi is in the team because of his bowling.

Asad Shafiq looks promising.

What a brilliant six from Jacques Kallis. No spin for Rehman yet.

Mohammed Sami is a waste spot.

COME ON PAKISTAN!

looks?
wat he has dne in his 10 odi matches mr shafiq? averges of 23
hmmm

and u sayin since aussie tour wat umar akmal dne?
wat has ANY PAKISTANI DNE SINCE THEN?

if his shot was so bad ..............wat abt hafeez? the only difference here he made 60 .........

atleast umar akmal was the leadin run scorer 4 pakistan v england test series!

Since the Australlia tour, We've seen Azhar Ali make 92*. Mohammed Yousuf 56. Younis Khan 134*. Misbah-Ul-Haq 76*. Mohammed Hafeez 60. What has Umar Akmal done in test matches? In his last 10 test innings he averages 24!

Seriously something needs to be done then. You don't need attacking cricketers in your test batting line up especially when you have a fragile lineup. We need someone who will make partnerships. Not play a rash shot.

Asad Shafiq will do well!

))
so you saying all these players dne better then him?
ic where where all of them during england tour?
3 of them making come back on flat track
and dnt forget all of them failed big time in 1st inings!

you keep forgetting he is only a kid
on his 1st tour 2 england mr inzamam ul haq made only 66 runs in 4 test matches @13
minadad also not as good @29

umar akmal dne better
now say wat

Was Inzamam as attacking as Umar Akmal in his early career. Inzamams strike rate was around 40-50 where as Umar Akmals were 80, 100 etc.. When being attacking as Umar Akmal is in test cricket, you are likely to lose your wicket.

That is what happens to Umar Akmal.

hahah
inzi attacked more m8

if u dnt belive me check it on my youtube channel
he was attacking batsmen from day 1:d

check 1992 lords test when inzi bats

and one more thing sachin tendulkar got out almost same way
so wats the fuss?
Just coz pakistan batting sucks a young kid is being made scapegoat!
2 protect old misbah who 2 b honest dnt deserved 2 b in team!
I knw he made runs last inings
but on these flat tracks...........weldone lol)

170/3


wats going on,,,,,,come on M SAMI ...GIVE US A GOOD FARE WELL....UR LAST TEST MATCH,HOPE SO

men of the match...............UMPIRES................

wats going on,,,they r just vsdjhgvbnfhnvg,kdjhf chjyagerfj xbvnbvfv...............cant describe

and ur the one who was saying put sami in instead of tanvir ahmad.
pata hota hai nahi buss bhokny ka shok hai

umar akmal played bad in his last 10 games, no one gives a shit if hes a kid or not, hes an international player, so play like one, if u cant play hten u should be dropped

lol this guy is an idiot he wants a player who will make 0.)
no need to attack, this is test, not t20.

Sami's never going to learn to bowl consistently at the international level.

the way they're treating Saeed Ajmal is how they treated Saqlain and destroyed his career.

umar akmal was rightly dropped he was dropped in odis so he cud get a bit mature and plays sensibly but wat he did a PATHETIC SHOT goin for six wen we needed him the most to build a partnership wid azhar
sahfiq much better choice

lol not ahzar shafiq, asad sahfiq

keep crying

you knw who backs sami

i only said coz of his pace and read my earlier comments i said only 4 this match

just keep cryin kid)
