[CrickFan]

we were supposed to have the best bowling attack!!!

Only in the mind of some Pak fans who have no clue what they are talking about

 

[PlanetPakistan]

When fit.

in a fantasy.

[mooz]

so why is razzaq bowling now?

 

[azcali78]

Razaaq on and first ball will go for a 4

 

[Rob H]

6 for Kallis into the crowds. Straight and lovely

 

[shabbu1]

Sami is a shadow of the player i saw on debut. How many more chances does he need?!

Is this pitch as flat as a pancake or something? (for those who are watching)

 

[Easa]

350 on the cards here.

 

[Rob H]

6 more, Razzaq getting pummled

 

[TheSaint]

Kallis plays the best shot of the day so far- straight lofted 6 from the middle of the bat.
Followed by another one over long -on- Razzaq being welcomed to the crease

 

[CrickFan]

razaak = raining 6's for SA ..

 

[mooz]

Sami is a shadow of the player i saw on debut. How many more chances does he need?!

Is this pitch as flat as a pancake or something? (for those who are watching)

it can't be flat, otherwise our great kaptan sahab would surely have batted first.

 

[Medic]

Boucher is on fire

 

[Lightning]

add Kallis.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

it can't be flat, otherwise our great kaptan sahab would surely have batted first.

PAK have not won a match while batting 1st since 2005...FACT!

 

[Noman]

it can't be flat, otherwise our great kaptan sahab would surely have batted first.

izni prefer to chase..

 

[CrickFan]

3 SIXES and counting

 

[Rob H]

6 more off Razzaq. ) Kallis killing him.

 

[Salman]

so far 19 off Razzaq's over...

 

[Oxy]

327-4

3 sixes of this Razzaq over.

 

[Rob H]

Razzaq )

329/4 with 24 balls left

 

[Lightning]

Pak bowlers have absolutely forgot the art of bowling at the death. Razzaq bowling gentle length balls at a 125 k's.

 

[Easa]

327/4

 

[SUPERSAMI]

21 off Razzy over, 329/4.

 

[Master Blaster]

Razzaks 4 balls so far have gone for 14 ..........

South Africa 321/4 (45.3 ov)

I think pakistan should be prepared to chase 375

 

[mooz]

PAK have not won a match while batting 1st since 2005...FACT!

well they are not going to win this one either.
And whats the wisdom in not bowling razzaq until the 46th over?

 

[CricketBuff]

6 more, Razzaq getting pummled

Inzi as always is a stupid captain. This was no time to give the bowl to Razzak. Could have brought back Rana as he reverse swings the ball.

 

[Oxy]

329-4.

4 overs remain.

 

[TheSaint]

Inzi needs a bit of a breather form ODIs - his bowling changes and field placings have been atrocious today- maybe he should just play 2 of the 5 and let Younis captain 2 and Yousuf take charge for 1 match.
This series should be used to experiment for the WC and get our team combination right.

 

[CrickFan]

I guess the WC07 Nightmare has just begun for Pakistan ...

 

[Rob H]

Asif cant stop the rot. no ball 4

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Now we are realizing that we should saved more overs for Asif. Having him bowl even the 7th over was wrong. 8th over was ridiculous!

 

[CrickFan]

Saffie commentators are jumping in their seats in glee

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Asif joining in on the fun, no ball goes for 4.

 

[Rob H]

4 more. Great batting, **** bowling

 

[Master Blaster]

Current partnership 94 runs, 8.4 overs, RR: 10.84 (Kallis 36, Boucher 56)

 

[mooz]

can they get to 400 maybe, would be entertaining to watch atleast.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Another 4...

 

[CricketBuff]

I think Inzi should himself resign from Captaincy and play as a batsman which he refuses to do.

 

[CrickFan]

103 runs from 56 balls

 

[Rob H]

6 more, Asif is getting killed

 

[zaf1986]

Crappy bowling is somehow Inzy's fault?

 

[CrickFan]

Assif getting the treatment now .. 20/20 revisted ..4.4 and six

 

[darkmoon459]

I think Inzi should himself resign from Captaincy and play as a batsman which he refuses to do.

Inzi and his fudging EGO.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

LOL its about about the sixes... allow the 4s they taken us for sixers lol ..

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Fulltoss smashed for 6, 14 off the over so far

 

[Bailan]

I think Inzi should himself resign from Captaincy and play as a batsman which he refuses to do.

i doubt that, for all his appearent humblness, he is quite an egomaniac ... just look at the favourtism in team selection, not ot mention the management he has built around him.


his captaincy is more than anything to be blamed here ...

horrible horrible captaincy ....

yeh haal raha to jeet gaye WC

 

[dirk diggler]

i thought Inzi had taken heed of our thoughts and would refrain from "unleashing" Razzak on us...how wrong we were...wat was he thinking

 

[Rob H]

4 more )

 

[JustAnotherFan]

so ... you understand why I was moaning when Prince was sent in before Boucher?

 

[Daoud]

Crappy bowling is somehow Inzy's fault?

Theres nothing he could have done here. He delayed Razzaq's introduction because he knew he would get murdered.

 

[shan]

Asif showing class by bowling full tosses

 

[TheSaint]

We needed Kaneria or atleast Rehman in the side - gentle medium pace is not what you win games with in this day of pan-cake wickets- even Asif at the death is useless as he has gentle pace and the ball when old is soft and doesn't seam or cut as much.

 

[SlowRightArm]

It's like the 20.20 extended with them batting first.... a massacre of the Pakistani bowling at the minute...

Maybe SA feel peeved at not getting their full innings worth in that one?

 

[sajad mohammed]

this is poor captaincy bringing on the weakest of the 4 seamers

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Another 4, 20 off Asif over so far

 

[CrickFan]

No point in blaming Inzy .. These two teams are in a different league altogether .. Let's face the fact and move on

 

[Daoud]

so ... you understand why I was moaning when Prince was sent in before Boucher?

How I wish Razzaq dropped Prince the second time

 

[CrickFan]

another 6 of Asif

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Now a no ball, poor stuff from Asif

 

[Rob H]

6 more )

 

[shan]

lol asif is one ******** bowler in odi's

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Proteas have scored 106 runs in last 6 overs

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Smashed for 6, 28 off Asif's last over

 

[Daoud]

this is poor captaincy bringing on the weakest of the 4 seamers

Who - Asif?
Captaincy is thrown out of the window when every single bowler is getting butchered

 

[Master Blaster]

Boucher has 71 and his strike rate is 200

 

[Noman]

Last 5 ovs 89/0

 

[zaf1986]

Theres nothing he could have done here. He delayed Razzaq's introduction because he knew he would get murdered.

Exactly. No captain can do anything. Another spinner may have been handy but then how do you fit him into the 11...

 

[Afzal_K]

Will SA score 400?

 

[shan]

if Pakistan can strict them under 450 then we have a chance.

 

[Bailan]

The worst part about all of this is that we will bundle up for 193 allout

i wonder if inzi will go on to blame a tricky pitch?

 

[Sean]

400 on offer?
4/351 after 46.5 overs
This over: 4+N 4 . 6 1 4 1+N

 

[TheSaint]

Rana in now- Malik still had 5 to go.

 

[xbox]

106 in 6 overs

 

[Oxy]

Stunning batting by SA. The bowling is disappointing.

 

[Noman]

rANA IS BACK

 

[mooz]

Who - Asif?
Captaincy is thrown out of the window when every single bowler is getting butchered

well we should have been batting first.

 

[CrickFan]

400 is very much reachable .

 

[Daoud]

lol asif is one ******** bowler in odi's

Why cant Shoaib keep himself fit

Besides, Asif isnt bad, just utterly useless at the death
