1st ODI - Pakistan Vs South Africa at Centurion Park (Updates)

[CricketBuff]

Afridi's analysis looking good. Apart from Asif no bowler has impresses other than the all-rounders. Sami and Rana have no place in WC squad.

 

[darkmoon459]

Whether I missed the point is irrelevent. Just making sure that you agree he is responsible for all our victories (which are mroe than defeats) so overall he has been fairly successful.

make sure you think of him the same way you do now ,when his mistakes cost us the WC.

 

[Adeel786]

Justin camp and boucher still to come. I will say around 380

 

[OZGOD]

Off topic
It's 5:14 am and i feel like eating a paratha!

This late night cricket sucks, doesn't it. At least it's a weekend and I can sleep all day today (who wants to do anything when the weather is 19F).

I will.

Because I don't base my opinions of a 15 year veteran on what he does in one tournament.

aik mere liye bhi bana do please.

accah bhai kia yaad karoo gay...aup kay liyee Aloo walla banoo ya keemay walla.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Good Afternoon everybody.. looks like a 310+ score here..

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

SA 206/3 in 32 overs.

So ... how much are we looking to chase today??? It seems 325+ is very much on the cards ... and a couple of really bad overs can push them over 350. It's going to be very tough ... will require a lot of mental discipline.

 

[Noman]

Justin camp and boucher still to come. I will say around 380

380 than we have no chance of winning this match...

 

[sharuk]

Why the hell isnt Razzaq bowling!!!?!?!?!

 

[mooz]

I think Sa will score 355

What do you guys think?


Pakistan have 10% of winning the match,

0% if SA get to 350.
I think we'll keep them under 350.

 

[the Great Khan]

we'll be chasing around 350 at this rate unless we can pull it back in the slog overs..looks like karachi 04 all over again...

 

[CricketBuff]

someone in the team said that our bowling attack is the best in the world, better than Australia !!!!

 

[Noman]

Sa bowling is much better then the indians...

 

[Hash]

320 or so it looks like

 

[Noman]

YOunis KHan...

Well if we have bowlers like Rana we will never be a world class attack..

 

[Daoud]

320 or so it looks like

I'll be happy with that, considering the position they had got into

 

[sharuk]

someone in the team said that our bowling attack is the best in the world, better than Australia !!!!

it actually is, considering a team like NZ and England can score more than 300

 

[sehsan]

335

 

[mooz]

This late night cricket sucks, doesn't it. At least it's a weekend and I can sleep all day today (who wants to do anything when the weather is 19F).

make sure you don't sleep through the Colts SuperBowl win.

 

[Noman]

Kallis strike rate 54.05

 

[sajad mohammed]

theres some hope for us, the hitters we've got, these boundries look small to me

 

[Daoud]

someone in the team said that our bowling attack is the best in the world, better than Australia !!!!

A test match bowling attack of Asif, Shoaib and Gul would be, just that its never been put out

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This late night cricket sucks, doesn't it. At least it's a weekend and I can sleep all day today (who wants to do anything when the weather is 19F).

Yeah man it's a pain in the butt....at least the WC will be during the day

its 5:17 here as well and I am having a nice cup of tea.

with rus?

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

212-3 33.4 overs

 

[darkmoon459]

make sure you don't sleep through the Colts SuperBowl win.

I think Bears will take the trophy.

 

[Daoud]

Yeah man it's a pain in the butt....at least the WC will be during the day

I'll be in Oz during the WC

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Afridi is doing a mighty fine job!

 

[sharuk]

Why isnt Razzaq bowling today

 

[CricketBuff]

need 2 wkts urgently!!!!

 

[mooz]

I think Bears will take the trophy.

well it would be funny to see Manning choke again, but I think the Colts look pretty good to me here.

 

[mooz]

need 2 wkts urgently!!!!

urgently or emergently?

 

[dirk diggler]

just checked the Aus v NZ scoreboard, damn that Ponting, he's playing another masterful innings. watch and learn boys watch and learn

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

good tight over by malik... 217-3 35 overs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I'll be in Oz during the WC

man you can record it....you get all those cricket channels in AUS that we DON'T

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

I think we should bring back Sami for a couple of overs. He needs to ball anyways, better now, against these two batsmen, than towards the end when Pollock/Boucher are throwing their bat at anything.

Rana ... I'm not sure.

 

[CricketBuff]

yeah what happened to Razzak, maybe inzi forgot about him !!!

 

[sajad mohammed]

Why isnt Razzaq bowling today

at the moment im glad his services are not required, the spinners are bowling well, plus him being another medium pacer he might get hammerd as well

 

[mooz]

I might toss the ball to Asif and see if he can pick up a wicket or two in his last 2 overs.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This late night cricket sucks, doesn't it. At least it's a weekend and I can sleep all day today (who wants to do anything when the weather is 19F).

oh i forgot to ask...did you want a partha too?

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

razzaq drop it again!!!!

 

[TheSaint]

Razzaq does an Akmal and drops a dolly at long-on

 

[CricketBuff]

urgently or emergently?

and at once, the soonest !!!

 

[mooz]

razzaq did an akmal.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Razzy drops a sitter, poor stuff.

 

[amerrahman]

I like how Razzaq looked up to suggest the sun got in his eye .. No other team in the world makes these sort of mistakes.

 

[Easa]

Razzaq drops a simple catch.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

223-3 36 overs

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Eish, I wanted that wicket ... even tho I am a Proteas fan .... just to see some more aggresive batsmen

 

[dirk diggler]

yeah what happened to Razzak, maybe inzi forgot about him !!!

after the pasting dished out to Rana & Sami i dont think Inzi will want to "unleash" Razzak )

 

[dog_again]

Clever Razzaq, last thing you want now is Kemp - Bouch - Polly.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

A Razzaq's drop catch will help Pakistan

 

[sajad mohammed]

i've said it time and time again this man cant field to save his life, hes a complete joke

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Clever Razzaq, last thing you want now is Kemp - Bouch - Polly.

exactly

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

4 by kallis. goood shot

 

[Nauman]

meh he cant bowl, cant field, is an ordinary batsman most of the time so why is he even playing?

 

[CricketBuff]

after the pasting dished out to Rana & Sami i dont think Inzi will want to "unleash" Razzak )

Rightly so, Razzak just dropped a dolly, he is in no form to play Cricket after a long injury layoff.

 

[ali_ed2006]

im glad razzaq dropped it...prince is a slow player, and whoever that would have came in next would have scored faster..

 

[Master Blaster]

35.2 Shahid Afridi to Prince, 2 runs, dropped! Can you believe it! Afridi's livid with Razzaq! This one was looped up on the stumps and Prince gets a step or two down, eyeing the onside, gets under it and ends up top-edging the attempted heave straight up into the air and Razzaq, moving in from long-on, drops a sitter


Thats a bad bad miss...........

 

[Medic]

I think they'll get around 325

 

[TheSaint]

Afridi has been very steady and has bowled according to his field and deserved another wicket but probably a blessing in disguise- the new man in Kemp and then Boucher and Pollock could take it to 380 - longer these two are out there - we can maybe restrict them to under 350

 

[dirk diggler]

i wont comment on afridi's batting, but he's def a constant ODI performer with the ball, enuf to merit in the place soley on his bowling / fielding / presence?

 

[Easa]

Even Afridi's most fierce critics, will have to admit he has bowled VERY well.

229/3

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

meh he cant bowl, cant field, is an ordinary batsman most of the time so why is he even playing?

he is still to bat today

 

[Easa]

We need to limit them to 320.

 

[shan]

Afridi doing great job here.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

meh he cant bowl, cant field, is an ordinary batsman most of the time so why is he even playing?

who are we talking about now?

 

[mooz]

if we can only keep them under 330, we may have an outside chance.
Speaking of which, whats the most runs pakistan has chased to win in an ODI? Anybody?

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

and Razzaq takes it

 

[Easa]

Prince very lucky there, that barely missed the stumps!

 

[ali_ed2006]

Prince gone! razzaq takes it this time

 

[TheSaint]

Razzaq does get Prince this time-- easy as u can get and Afridi does get his man

 

[shan]

prince gone razaq strikes

 

[CricketBuff]

325 to 350 on the card guys

 

[Easa]

Afridi takes a good wicket, Razzaq hangs on this time!

 

[Straight Bat]

gone

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Razzy pulls an Akmal, well bowled Afridi.

 

[Nauman]

finally

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Boucher comes out ahead of Kemp.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

boucher in... bring on Asif i say!
