1st ODI - Pakistan vs South Africa @ Centurian Park (PAK innings)

[pak4life]

wow afridi finaly hits a six when was his last?!

 

[OZGOD]

I still think that Afridi should've batted lower in the order. If he loses his wicket, even if he scores 40 off 20, that will be more pressure on the chase.

 

[iafzal]

SIX and counting

 

[SameerAhmad]

6!!!!!!! wow nice one man, keep it up. we need 10 of those

ANOTHER 4! nice

 

[Rob H]

4 more. 2 balls 10 runs

 

[darkmoon459]

down the wicket and a huge hit for 6 ,by afridi.and a 4 to follow.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hoiked to cover for 4! Oy!

 

[Oxy]

6 to Afridi. Need a few more of those!

 

[zaf1986]

I still think that Afridi should've batted lower in the order. If he loses his wicket, even if he scores 40 off 20, that will be more pressure on the chase.

I agree....maybe it will be Razzaq's day as well, who knows?

 

[tahaqureshi]

Another boundary! FOUR for Afridi!

 

[ali_ed2006]

4 for afridi!

 

[Bailan]

So far .............. So Gooooooooooooooooood!

 

[pak4life]

why is boucher standing up to the stumps more pressure on pollock

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh tere! Afridi is scaring me! I don't want him to get out.

 

[OZGOD]

Big appeal for LBW, turned down by Koertzen. Looked high

 

[Bailan]

Fridi survives ...

 

[iZeeshan]

Almost gone again! Falls just short of Kallis!

 

[iafzal]

Afridi needs to pick his shots if he wants to stay in the middle

 

[Oxy]

Barry Richards embarrasing himself in the comm box.

Says its DEFINATELY HITTING (the stumps) - then says 'Oh no its not'

 

[darkmoon459]

just want afridi to last till the 20th over.

 

[Bailan]

Afridi needs to do something


whatever it is ... he can't hear us

lets hope this innings sends his Avg and SR sky rocketting to bigger better numbers

 

[darkmoon459]

well afridi gone.

 

[Rob H]

Afridi goes slogging. Great bowling to an idiot batsman. ridiculous batting

 

[iZeeshan]

KYA YAAR! Why everyball?

 

[ali_ed2006]

and AFRIDI GONE

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi OUT!

 

[Bailan]

ha

 

[CricketBuff]

the dangerous Afridi goes, game almost over,

 

[SameerAhmad]

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO okay the game is done

 

[SlowRightArm]

why is boucher standing up to the stumps more pressure on pollock

More pressure on Afridi, if he's going to charge down the pitch, he's got to hit the ball.

 

[OZGOD]

I still think that Afridi should've batted lower in the order. If he loses his wicket, even if he scores 40 off 20, that will be more pressure on the chase.

See what I mean?

 

[iZeeshan]

Now can I say game over?

 

[iafzal]

Game Over

 

[Oxy]

just want afridi to last till the 20th over.

How about 20 balls for starters!

 

[pak4life]

did afridi just hit someone in the crowd?

 

[CricketBuff]

MoYo in

 

[sharuk]

hope pakistan lose badly

 

[darkmoon459]

well folks , you all enjoy the game ,i am off to bed.

 

[zaf1986]

We have our two best batsmen to come, and people are saying game over? Hello?

 

[sharuk]

We have our two best batsmen to come, and people are saying game over? Hello?

392

 

[iZeeshan]

Still, Afridi was the best bowler by far!

2-41 when everyone wuz getting masscred!

 

[pak4life]

looks like afridi will be in trouble!

 

[SameerAhmad]

yeah two best batsman chasing 400, theyre great, but they cant do it...sorry man, i dont want to be the pessemist, but I know so.

 

[zaf1986]

Erm, when Pak almost chased down 349 - it was Yousuf and Inzy who did the bulk of the scoring.

Inzy is just as much of a beast as Afridi, except he knows how to hang around whereas Afridi doesn't.

 

[iZeeshan]

looks like afridi will be in trouble!

No he wont. He did what he was told to do. Just wasn't lucky enough.

 

[AWAN IN A MILLION]

Just seen the score again...C'MON AFRIDI................
I know he won't last till the end...but I really WANT him to RETURN some SERIOUS damage.

eye for an eye...an all that!!!!

C'MONNNNNN AFRIDIIIII !!!!!!!!!! Mash those Afrikaaans a little!!!!!!!

 

[pak4life]

no i mean what he did to the guy in th crowd

 

[TheSaint]

Fantastic catch by Nel - poor shot by Afridi but he had to go for it as Ntini would have got him otherwise anyway.
Yousuf in but they needed a hitter on one side for the first 20 atleast to even have an outside chance. 250 from 50 is pointless to me as losing by 140-150 runs is no confidence booster to a team and batting practice is also not needed in this day and age.
Play for the gallery atleast.

 

[pak4life]

he nearly hit him with the bat

 

[ehjaz]

can we score 250+ from here on.

 

[Noman]

hope pakistan lose badly

 

[Rob H]

YK smashes a pull shot for 6. super shot

 

[faisalm]

You do know he is out right?

 

[AWAN IN A MILLION]

He's gone! Back to the Pavilion!

 

[iZeeshan]

Quite a shot for 6 by Younis!

Afridi will not be trouble for that either. He was provoked.

 

[UJ]

Malik has made 80 off 40 vs SAF before...and he is yet to come so

 

[Oxy]

Afridi takes a swipe at a spectator who seems to have said something to him.

 

[faisalm]

Pakistan need to go on a damage limitation exercise now. Try and make it less embarrassing than it already is.

 

[whyhkk]

afridi banned for odis because of assault on spectator

 

[iZeeshan]

Wonderful stroke from Yousuf for 4.

 

[TheSaint]

Yousuf smears one through covers- after that pulled 6 from Younis-- showing some purpose atleast

 

[pak4life]

classic yousaf cover drive

 

[ehjaz]

Afridi takes a swipe at a spectator who seems to have said something to him.

that spectator should be escorted out of the ground

 

[ali_ed2006]

Quite a shot for 6 by Younis!

Afridi will not be trouble for that either. He was provoked.

Gibbs was also provoked to say those words by Pakistani fans...

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh no! Yousuf has lost his brains too?

 

[UJ]

Afridi takes a swipe at a spectator who seems to have said something to him.

Hope he didn't tell him to go back to the zoo.....

 

[pak4life]

Quite a shot for 6 by Younis!

Afridi will not be trouble for that either. He was provoked.

wasnt gibbs provoked too. whos the match refree? hope its not broad

 

[Oxy]

Gibbs only crime was that he was heard.

 

[TheSaint]

Yousuf is too good a player to play recklessly, we needed Razzaq , Malik & Rana in earlier with Younis to go with the runrate. Inzi and Younis could have consolidated and bring respectibility to the total 20 overs onwards.

 

[Rob H]

Younis out caught and bowled. amazing catch

 

[Noman]

[Nice-N-Fresh]

wasnt gibbs provoked too. whos the match refree? hope its not broad

broad it is!

 

[iZeeshan]

Uh oh! Younis gone.

OK GAme over.

 

[ehjaz]

i hope we scrore at least 250 plus

 

[SameerAhmad]

Oh God, these south africans are fielding monsters!!! amazing catch by ntini! i cant even fault younis for that shot.

 

[zaf1986]

Inzy is going to have to play an amazing knock if we are to get anywhere close.

 

[ali_ed2006]

70-4...

 

[Noman]

Younis out caught and bowled. amazing catch

 

[TheSaint]

What a catch from Ntini - they look a great ODI side at present and are fielding like true champions.
We will do well to atleast build some sort of a set-side for the WC here.
The series should be just a platform to get the side settled.

 

[ehjaz]

Uh oh! Younis gone.

OK GAme over.

Game was over before Pak even began their batting
