Pakistan v South Africa, 2nd Test, Abu Dhabi, Nov 20-24, 2010

India and SA looks like being a lame series with both struggling against lowly ranked opposition and SA's uber defensiveness makes for dull cricket.

Probably wouldn't have made much difference in a way because the Proteas attack seems singularly incapable of bowling out Pakistan with any sort of consistency. They desperately need more penetration.

For all the criticisms of the current Aust team, they still rarely play any draws.

they dont seem capable of it

Harsh but fair, TO.

Pakistan still have all 10 wickets in hand. 288 needed off 63 overs. In with a shout?

which newspaper is this from?

2 quick wickets.


The Saffies are going to knick this after all. They don't deserve to though.

dude you are in some form !

66-0 to 66-3 in 7 deliveries.

Looks like Pakistan got a call from their bookmaker during the lunch break.

That'd be funny except for the fact that the odds of it being true are probably quite good.

These two teams are trying to kill test cricket.

Another draw - here were two-evenly matched teams who played two stalemates.

Bloody pitch!

two evenly matched teams? Come on red, can you be any more transparent in your hatred of RSA cricket?

It's funny how the South Africans are blaming the pitch when if they'd shown a bit more daring they could have scored more quickly on the evening of day 4, and declared earlier.

Didn't Pak draw their last home deries with Aus?
