Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd Test | 22/11/2010 | Abu Dhabi | Day 3 : Session 2

[AZ]

Azhar Ali looking good, YK not yet set at the crease.

theoretically this is the best time of the day to bat, so there's no excuse for Pakistan not to do so.


fingers crossed Azhar will get his maiden ton today!

[Noork85]

InshAllah!

[mastermind_quad]

Azhar will get it ...@AZ bhai...he will score in between 120-140

[Noork85]

Hope younus can score a ton again as well.

[Noork85]

if we make it to the follow-on, I'd say there is a very good chance it will be a draw.

Thanks for the answers.

[Noork85]

Line up looking solid

[hur rizvi]

Important session we need a good Partnership b/w these two to be in good position

[Noork85]

I wixh we would find a replacement for adnan akmal.

[cricfan4ever]

need to up the ante in 2nd session...score at 3.5 minimum...

[UntouchablePlaya]

Adnan Akmal is fine, we must give him chance I don't see anything bad in younger Akmal.

His keeping hasnt been flawless and secondly he wasnt the one who deserved the chance

We can stop criticizing upon the Akmal brothers, the guy is very young and energetic good with the hands behind the wicket and I believe he can improve his batting skills if given chance to play for longer.

Have you seen his profile Adnan Profile?? he's very young at this age playing for country is like playing in dreams with fairy.

I am not criticizing him because he is from Akmal family .....

I have seen his keeping in these two tests and hasnt been impressive and his batting stats are nothing to write home about ....

And by the way he is not that young he is 25 according to cricinfo ...

Boy don't expect from Akmal's . this kid can do some wicket-keeping. I can't guarantee that he can bat too.

Well you can forget him after the SA series.
