It is Pakistan.....there is no such thing as logic.

So very true... Shocking from the Skip

Pretty easy logic.

Smith and Elgar left handed batsmen will find it easier to play with the spin rather than against Ajmal's off breaks.

I expected someone to point that out, but i dont agree that is always the case. Plus Ajmal can bowl one end, whilst he can operate at the other end. As the seamers seem to be leakign runs..

The class and hostility of Dale Steyn was the key for day 1.

Even though Steyn has a slight hamstring injury. He was bowling 145kph and swinging/reversing swinging the ball menacingly.

Whereas Junaid and Irfan barely moved the ball of the straight.

Steyn is a freak of nature.

Steyn is the man

Just love watching him bowl.

Reckon skipper needs to try a part timer here, Younis Khan perhaps.. Pakistan strugglign to pick up a wicket

[Gerry SA]

1-0 down in the series.

Missing the World's best batsman.

Step forward South Africa's ironman captain.

Whenever the Proteas need to be revived it's always Biff.

Some serious batting by Smith and AB. A longer test match series would have been interesting. I think South Africa should bat out the day and make a push for an hour or so tomorrow. That should leave enough time to get ten wickets.

[Gerry SA]

Biff completes the double milestone.

5th Test double hundred and 9000 Test runs.

Captain leading from the front!

[wasted_talent]

Smith absolutely nailing them..

And Pakistan skipper running his 4 bowlers into the ground.. no sign of anything outside of the box from Misbah.. Too predictable

Plenty of time left in this test match (3 days left), can afford to bat tomorrow past lunch as well. Let the pitch deteriorate more and keep Pakistan in the heat longer

Agreed, I overlooked that it was only day two. They should bat on tomorrow and both these batsmen should be eyeing up huge scores. They really made use of the best day for batting. It will take a massive effort for Pakistan to salvage anything from this game.

[Gerry SA]

We don't need Biff and AB to get huge scores.

If Biff gets 300 it's a bonus.

I'd hope we push on in the first session and try and get 150-180 runs.

Then rout the Pakistanis by an innings and 300-400 runs. We need to crush Pakistan totally.

Interestingly had ABDV not been stumped in bizarre circumstances in the first Test, given AB's form, we'd have won their as well.
