Babar was ball-watching and he was well short of the crease when the stump went for a toss

You couldn't make this up.

lots of time left and the pitch doesnt look bad for batting. saffies still in it, albeit a mountain to climb

misbah is the oldest centurion since gooch

Hoooooooooo. Gangf*ck.

by PeterCS Wed 16 Oct 2013, 15:05

Whoa there, whoa!!!

is this a parallel universe? Is the ghost of Hansie stalking Arabia?

The mighty SAf getting abudhabi'ed by the bookies' favourites?!

Maybe it's a dream. Less all juss kkhalm down laikkhe.

It's not easy going over there undercooked.

You start to burn easily on the outside, but then are still not cooked on the inside.

Can't say I'm surprised. Never send a soufflé to do a rarebit's job.

wow. how did a team that struggled to beat the zimbots just a month or two ago become a team that looks like whooping the number 1 team?

by Brass Monkey Wed 16 Oct 2013, 15:51

B'ing the FT? Heard the Zim pitches had a little juice.

Also, the personnel change must've helped - there were some walking wickets like Mo Hafeez lolloping around in the team. Seems like the current opening pair have a bit more about them.

So typical of the Wackies.

A poor match for Fat Jack, and Wacksters well on top having removed Amla in I2. Looks like it's up to ABdV to save this one for the Saffers.

could be twists in the tail yet...Miserable continues to lead his otherwise shambolic troops well

by skully Thu 17 Oct 2013, 00:24

Wackies getting their odds up before a monumental 2nd innings "collapse"? Cool

I just put a lobster on the Saffies at 19s.

Pakistan are always only a couple of decent batsmen away from being one of the best teams in the World.

by JGK Thu 17 Oct 2013, 07:15

They're on.

saffies have started well and seem well set

TBH we are lucky to have made it to the. 4th day

Another 200 runs and the Safs are well in it.

no wuzzes...just going on the crocinfo commentary, it seems these two are well on the way to a good partnership, plus you have plenty of batting left in the shed

by taipan Thu 17 Oct 2013, 07:51

Amla not available for test 2
