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

35 run partnership between these two, Pakistan showing some fight.
 
Even if we do avoid our heaviest defeat, we will still end up 190+ runs short of the target. That itself is embarrassing
 
Sami up the order as a specialist batsman? 23 now and we're safe from our worst ever defeat :27:

At least it will be less embarassing
 
I think Sami should stop being a fast bowler from this day. The guy sure has potential with the bat
 
Sami's the second highest scorer for Pakisan, behind MoYo. Hafeez scored 21, and Sami is on 24*.
 
at this rate we may even surmount the heady heights of the 200 mark

What needs to be correct as well is the extras column. We gave away 31 extras, which is 30 runs plus 6 extra overs. While S.A have till now given 4 extras only.
 
Bowlers are the culprits. If you give 20 plus run over bunch of times you have no chance. The thing is two beasts of SA didn't even click. Bosman and Kemp. Imagine if they had clicked too.
 
South Africa is a better team than Pakistan. That is the fact. Pak need be better in all departments.
 
Nice stuff Sami, showing some good intent...

But please Pakistan, dont put him down as a bowler next match...Please.

Agree with the first bit. The bit about Bosman and Kemp not clicking doesn't make sense. You don't expect the entire batting line up to fire do you. There will be a couple who receive unplayable deliveries, get out to great pieces of fielding, or the regular bad shot.
 
Six! From Sami.

Btw, what is Malik trying to do ? Why doesn't he try and hit some around to get better practice!
 
If Sami can get a hundred (unlikely) atleast that could be one positive we could take out of this match. :10:
 
Thats a shame. I was hoping that he'd get a 50. Still, helped us avoid a 200 run defeat

Never mind, its not going to happen now
 
Saffers bat deep. That is the problem. Remember India had Saffers at 136 for 7. But India didn't know what hit them last 15 overs. Kemp and Hall put up 138 runs in the next 15 overs. So every one plays with a license to attack.

Six from malik if anyones intrested :13:

Nice :10:

They made it to 200. I just dont understand why they struggled to take this long to get to 200. They should have made 270 atleast.
 
its dissapointing but its only a game of cricket, but we have embarrasing at times, this margin of defeat shows theres a big gulf in class between us and the best, i've said this before apart from our best bowling line up which is gul, shoaib and asif, our batting and fielding is inconsistant, one day where world beaters, next where a bunch of club players,

yes maybe so, but none of the loses were thrashings like this
 
HAHAHAAH Malik pissing smith off.

Smith bowls it and malik just stands there to defend and starts laughing. Smith shakes his head and Malik laughs some more.

Then next ball Malik hits him for 4.And after that gets his 50. lol

Game over. Malik and Sami saved our damned face!

Great knock by Malik!

way to get behind you team there bud.

And how can you start disliking Malik after THIS innings? He faced a little face at least. Sheesh.

Yeah, hes just trying to get him to do something stupid. If Malik tried to slog, we'd have lost by 250 and that really, would have been sheer and utter humiliation. Here its merely a humiliation

its called being realistic and not being deluded

asif is not a death overs bowler and so isnt razzaq
razzaq wouldnt get into a school team for his death bowling
unless we get some important players sent from pakistan like azhar mahmood you can expect to see this through the whole series

so what would you have done? Go out there as if there were wickets in hand and start bashing around?

I credit Malik for knowing the game was over and what Pakistan needed was for him to stick around and get some time in the middle.

You know what the sad thing is? You'll still be around for those games to watch and ***** some more about how much Pakistan sucks.

If you know they're gonna get killed in all matches, why are you watching?

That's really the way to respond to a poster like him. Gratz.

Some people just like to do the talking then make up stupid excuses for this stupidty.

Did you really expect him to go on an all out attack to chase down the target, be realistic, he had Sami on the other side and the best he could have gotten out of this innings was some sort of match practice.

I have to admit you have beaten me there :14: :15:

Yes.. Don't involve in throwing stones at each other. Both are crap against South Africa. period. Indian bowlers did well that's all India can be proud of.
Indian batting is the one that let India down big time. India was already completely out of form. So a decent defeat turned into severe thrashing. As far as Pakistan goes i expect them to win atleast one one dayer as they have some unbelievable big hitters down the order. And also the pitches that Saffers will play on will be batting beauties since that is the only way they can go to world cup with confidence. Same way India vs SL will be played on batting beauties too.

Trust me. It is very good for Pakistan to take on a difficult side before world cup. It will do them a world of good in the world cup.
