[Master Blaster]

Asif is into his 8th over..........

South Africa: 76/0 (14.2 Ovs)

 

[Easa]

Fast from Sami!

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh boy...

 

[Easa]

Afridi needs to be brought on.

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

samcked for 4 of asif bowling

 

[Easa]

de Villiers turning it on here.

 

[OZGOD]

South Africa looking to post a massive score here. If they have this many wickets in hand at the death they'll go berserk.

 

[Shahid A]

Still Razzaq left then i think afridi

 

[Master Blaster]

14.5 Asif to de Villiers, FOUR!!, too full and too straight on the stumps, got the right treatment too, de Villiers shows the full face of the bat and drives it straight down the ground for four, that is a treat to watch!!!

14.4 Asif to de Villiers, FOUR!!, Asif digs it in short on the middle and leg, de Villiers stays back and hoicks it over the top of the circle between midwicket and long on for four, one bounce over the ropes, that almost went the distance!!!

14.4 Asif to de Villiers, no ball, full and straight on the stumps, de Villiers comes on the frontfoot and whips it away straight to the fielder at short mid wicket



Asif is trying i guess !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11


South Africa: 85/0 (14.5 Ovs)
AB de Villiers* 39(56)
Graeme Smith 40(34)

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

[SUPERSAMI]

haha, great stop by Asif, saves two

 

[PlanetPakistan]

[SUPERSAMI]

Awesome pullshot by AB, goes for 4

 

[invincible]

devilliers reminds me so much of rhodes - be it in his fielding or batting ...

 

[SUPERSAMI]

98-0 from 16 overs, Pak's gonna be chasing over 300

 

[dirk diggler]

graeme smith had been having a cr4p 2+ years, we've helped him get his form n confidence back...just b4 the WC!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

devilliers reminds me so much of rhodes - be it in his bowling or batting ...

you mean fielding?

 

[Master Blaster]

Sami gives away 2 FOURS..................

South Africa: 98/0 (16.0 Ovs)
AB de Villiers 45(60)
Graeme Smith* 47(37)

Mohammad Sami 3-0-22-0

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Rana replaces Asif and starts off with a wide.

 

[OZGOD]

Hundred partnership nearly up between the openers.

 

[CrickFan]

MIP - Massacre in Progress .. They shouldn't have played Saffies before the WC Finals ..

 

[invincible]

you mean fielding?

sorry abt the typo ... yes - i meant fielding ...

drinks being taken ... score update : 16 overs 98/0

 

[SUPERSAMI]

No ball smashed straight down for 4, 50 for Smith, great innings.

 

[Master Blaster]

Rana Naved brought back into the attack now

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Down the ground, another 4.

 

[CrickFan]

Rana and Sami are going to make Younis eat his words

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Pulled for 4, another hat-trick for Rana

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Fourth 4 in a row, Rana looks horrible

 

[invincible]

rao ifthikar is better than rana naved hassan in pitches such as this one ... he has an econ. rate of 4.63 while naved has over 5 ...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rana is just being destroyed here by Smith!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Fifth consecutive 4, great batting by Smith.

 

[CricketBuff]

Should be the end of WC dreams for Rana

 

[WasimG]

They shouldn't have played Saffies before the WC Finals ..

Yeah why do we always play SA just before the world cup? And that too in SA?
Rana: 1wd 5nb 4 4 4
Still 3 balls to go

 

[Imy]

rana is a jerk

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

is this a 20/20 charity mach or an important odi??

 

[CricketBuff]

Guys, this team has no chances in WC, we need massive overhaul and inzi to please stand down now.

 

[dog_again]

Worst. Over. Ever.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Another wide, pathetic bowling, 23 so far off the over

 

[Ahmad]

rao ifthikar is better than rana naved hassan in pitches such as this one ... he has an econ. rate of 4.63 while naved has over 5 ...

Have a field day man..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another four, fifth one so far in the over. Rana looks absolutely clueless!

 

[Master Blaster]

16.4 Naved-ul-Hasan to Smith, FOUR
16.3 Naved-ul-Hasan to Smith, FOUR, carnage, simply carnage! Overpitched, marginally, and Smith's in such form that he just leans forward and drives it to the right of Inzamam at mid-off, who just lazily turns around and knows all he has to do is collect it from the ropes
16.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Smith, FOUR, ho ho, make it three in a row, folks! Rana's misery continues as he tries the bouncer and gets no assistance from the pitch, Smith just pulls that well between midwicket and square leg for four more
16.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Smith, FOUR, again he looks to get on top of Rana, and advances down the track to a shorter one, collecting it with one hand and finding the gap on the offside for another boundary
16.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Smith, (no ball) FOUR, its a no-ball, to which Smith advances down the track and smokes that powerfully straight back down the ground for four, and thats his 50


Rana is leaking runs like anything...........

5 fours in 5 balls............


South Africa 120/0 (16.4 ov

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Another 4, 27 off the over, Rana being violated.

 

[SameerAhmad]

Damn it Rana, stop bowling crap!

How I wish for Gul and Akthar to come back and replace some of these goners

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Finally a freakin dot ball, 27 off Rana's last over.

 

[azcali78]

Rana is needed to be droped.

 

[WasimG]

Rana's making Sami look like Garner.

 

[Daoud]

Thank god that over has finished. I suppose days like these exist to put stuff like the Karachi Test match of last year into perspective

 

[Usman Chadda]

I think Inzi should forbid Rana from bowling in this innings. Not only for the good of the Pakistan team, but to rid Rana of this torture too! 27 runs from that over!

South Africa 125/0 in 17 overs

 

[Noman]

I hate Rana and all Ranas fans included by father who is a big Rana fan..

 

[dirk diggler]

is this the strength in depth (in bowling) everyone was lauding about not so long ago? i dont think any of us will now be deluded into thinkin we're WC contenders

 

[sajad mohammed]

rana looks well out of sorts, and inzi just over bowling asif which is the last thing he wants to do after being over bowled in test matches, hes our best so we've got to save his overs or then theres cannon fodder once when razzack and co comes on

 

[CricketBuff]

Rana should appeal to UN for abuse by Smith.

 

[CrickFan]

Yeah why do we always play SA just before the world cup? And that too in SA?
Rana: 1wd 5nb 4 4 4
Still 3 balls to go

bcoz PCB have an IQ which is worse than that of a donkey ...They keep repeating the same mistakes again and again .. As a neutral observer - I feel sorry for the fans ..They deserve a better deal

 

[azcali78]

Why cant inzy give a ball to spinner.

 

[Easa]

27 runs of the damn over.

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

what the crap is rana doing 27 runs of that over.

 

[Master Blaster]

LOL Rana is bowling crap.............

Smith is running away with the match.........

27 runs came of his over..........

South Africa 125/0 (RR: 7.35)

 

[SUPERSAMI]

slower ball spanked for 4, 50 for AB

 

[WasimG]

Rana's over: 1wd 5nb 4 4 4 4 1wd 4 . lol
And then Sami goes for a 4

 

[Usman Chadda]

Its official: South Africa looking forward to breaking that record of 438. At this rate they might end up getting 500!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

what can i say.

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

so guys who fancy are chances of chasing 400 runs here.

 

[SameerAhmad]

Inzi should bowl, I'm sure he'd do better than idiot Rana...What is wrong with him!

 

[sharuk]

Another miss by Akmal for 4!!!!!!!


F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

pak will have to chase 400+ it seems

 

[CrickFan]

The damage was done in 20/20 match itself ..unfortunately many fans did not realise that ..

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

4 more

 

[invincible]

sami competes with rana )

 

[Jonty]

400 on the cards again

 

[Easa]

Sami gets hit for 4 now!

 

[Easa]

*** is happening here? Have we completely lost it?

 

[CricketBuff]

So this was the highly touted great fast bowling attack.

 

[feather]

I would love to watch more of this match with you guys but I am going to go get some sleep!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

oh dear....now M Sami!!!

 

[CricketBuff]

Sami and Rana have no place in this team.

 

[invincible]

taking the PP3 wasn't a great idea by inzi ...

 

[Noman]

Have anyone heard the song indian song?

mutko Ranaji maaf karna khadi humare se hogi

 

[SUPERSAMI]

15 off the last over and thats an improvement from the previous one.
