SA’s memorable win in Faisalabad

Tourists cook hosts’ goose
FAISALABAD.
Pakistan, Oct 27 (AFP. AP): Pace bowler Shaun Pollock triggered a spectacular Pa-
kistan collapse here today that gave South Africa a sensational 53-run Test victory and a historic series triumph.
Pakistan, four overnight, needed 142 for victory with all wickets and two days remaining. But Natal bowler Pollock took four wickets in eight balls in the morning session to turn the tables on hosts.
A holiday was declared in Faisalabad in anticipation of a home triumph in the first series between the two in Pakistan, and there was a big crowd present at the Iqbal Stadium.
But Pakistan were all out for 92 and fell 53 runs short of the South Africa innings of 239 and 214. Pakistan scored 308 in their first innings.
South Africa, who won the series after the first two rain-affected Tests in Rawalpindi and Sheikhupura were drawn, owe a debt to off-spinner Pat Symcox who twice held up the South African score_.andlalso
took three wickets which helped fold the Pakistan innings.
Although the 24-year-old Pollock finished with 5-37 and seven wickets in the match, but innings of 81 and 55 on top of his wickets earned Symcox the man-of-the-match award.
"I am happy and proud to be a South African. It was a closely fought series, especially this match." said ecstatic South African captain Hansie Cronje.
He said the victory was a "great team effort" and singled out Pollock. Gary Kirsten and Symcox as outstanding.
South African coach Bob Woolmer said it had been a memorable victory on South Africa's first tour of Pakistan. The boys stuck to their task and snatched a hard earned win," he said.
On a dismal day for Pakistan, only Moin Khan and Aamir Sohail reached double figures.
Pakistan captain Saeed An-
war said, "Full credit to South Africa, they deserve this win. Definitely it is disappointing not to beat them but it was not easy to chase 145."
The tourists attacked from the first minute of the fourth day.
The Pak procession began in the fourth over of the day when Sohail (14) mistimed a pull shot and holed out to a diving Adam Bacher at gully. Sohail was dropped by the same fielder at square leg when he tried to flick Pollock an over earlier.
Pollock then made inroads into the Pakistan line-up when he had Anwar and liaz dismissed off successive deliveries for noughts. Anwar flashed wildly to an outside the off-stump delivery to give wicketkeeper Dave Richardson a regulation catch. Ijaz shuffled too much while facing Pollock’s first delivery and was trapped leg before.
Ali Naqvi, who was struggling from the start of the Fourth day, finally departed after edging Pollock straight to Daryll Cullinan in the first slip.
Pakistan's first innings top-
scorer Inzamamul Haq lasted for only five deliveries before Brian McMillan took a fine catch at second slip as Pakistan struggled at 31 for five.
To add to Pakistan's miseries. Azhar Mahmood (6) fell to Lance Klusener-Rlchardson's combination.
Although Wasim Akram added 17 runs for the seventh wicket with wicketkeeper batsman Moin soon after lunch. Symcox spun a web around Pakistan's tall In quick time.
He had the wickets of Akram (9) and Saqlain Mushtaq (0). Pollock then uprooted Waqar Younis' off-stump for a duck and victory was Just around the corner for South Africa with Pakistan 88 for nine. Moln's patience also finally ended when he hoisted Symcox straight to Allan Donald at deep mid-wicket as Pakistan's innings terminated in only 37.3 overs for their fifth lowest ever Test innings total. Moln's resistance at the crease lasted for 112 minutes and he made 32
off 79 balls to emerge topscorer. Extras were the next highest in total with 16.
Pakistan coach Haroon Rashid said, "I don't think the wicket was conducive for bowlers."
"Our batsmen played very badly while South Africans bowled and fielded exceptionally well," he said.
Leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed and Gary Kirsten were declared men-of-the-series.
South Africa also won the only Test between the two countries in South Africa, at Johannesburg in 1994.
