Test match looks in the bag for South Africa.

Get ready to see your buddy Farhat open the batting for Pak today. I would not look at the rankings too much and remember we beat them in the world cup. The key once again is to bat first for Pak.

Unbelievable that farhat gets picked again and again. Agree with you, bat first otherwise in most cases than not, its curtains. Also, it will be interesting to see how Afridi reacts to misbah as he’s not captain anymore.

Saffers easing to victory, although Watson dropped a sitter earlier on from Amla. He’s been dropped twice now.

Amla is one lucky chapee

I think Afridi has plenty of respect for Misbah and they get on well so can't see any issue's although Afridi does like to act as the senior bowler. We need to either put Umar Akmal or Razzaq at number 3.

Brother Amla making them pay now for the drops. 81 needed.

We been saying that for years kash and we know its not going to happen, personally, I’d open with Afridi, drop Farhat and bring in Asad shafiq at 3. That’s not going to happen either, so it will be………………..

1 Imran Farhat 2 Mohammad Hafeez 3 Younis Khan 4 Umar Akmal 5 Misbah-ul-Haq 6 Abdul Razzaq 7 Shahid Afridi 8 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk) 9 Umar Gul 10 Saeed Ajmal 11 Junaid Khan

Aussies attack looks toothless.If u take into account their bowling performance in tests in last 1 yr then yesterday was an aberration.Bollinger should be given a go and Johnson should only concentrate in limited overs.

Imran Khan should hold a rally outside the PCB office to shut the door of selection in any format whatsoever for Imran Farhat.

Sarfraz is a poor batsman. Why are we giving him a run now? I would have rather kept Adnan or better still give Umar Akmal the gloves and made him be our Sanga or AB Dev. There is no point tinkering with poor batting wicketkeepers.

Also, with the new changes for powerplays, i think pakistan will have to tinker with their batting line up according to the game situation. No point in Afridi coming in after the 40th over now, the way he plays, he should be in a slot of the 5 over powerplay, or best still, he cant do any worse than farthat in the first 10.

afridi is a joke as a batsman

Amla on fire!!!

I would not want to be Hussey and Watson after seeing Amla's destruction.

Lets hope Amla allows the skipper to score a ton too. Old Smith is back.

Johnson to Amla, FOUR, holy moly, what a shot that is! Amla has simply pushed at this, punching a length ball straight past the bowler with seriously impressive timing. He is on f i r e and Smith in danger of not getting his century!

"Hussey's drop will turn out to be the turning point of the game" - good call silky beard - Amla ton!

Amla, what a spoiltsport...... let smithy get his ton man..... Greedy man.... Lol

I'm sure Smith would have told him to carry on but still this is almost bad as Thorpe when he stopped Alex Tudor getting a ton and left him on 99.

Amla gone - chance now for Smith's 100??

Good tactic by Amla here to give Johnson a wicket so he can play in 2nd test rather than Doug or Cummins.

Hoping smith gets his ton now.......

Pak lanka match is a sell out by the way.......

Was good to see Clarke go and shake Amla's hand. Good sportsman ship.

Looking forward to the Pak Lanka match, should be a great game to follow this test up with.

Maulvi Amla is the best tiimer of the ball at the moment.

...I really need to get some work done BUT...
