[darkmoon459]

Pazzak is gone ,edge a wide

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Razzaq gone chasing a wide one, Afridi returns

 

[Easa]

89/4

To make this interesting, we need to get 140-150.

 

[darkmoon459]

Boom boom is back on

 

[Easa]

Afridi in, Razzaq departs. Fireworks time!

 

[Toony™®]

[TheSaint]

Afridi gets a single- nicely driven to mid-off Telemachus 4 overs 22 for 1 better then Pollock 26-1 from his 4

 

[Medic]

91/5 Afridi off the mark

 

[Gunner786]

biiiig swing for afridi

[TheSaint]

[darkmoon459]

[ZM]

[Easa]

Malik is a goner.

92/6

 

[Usman Chadda]

Malik has been awful out there in the middle

 

[TheSaint]

92-6 upto the tail now- Zulqarnain in for the first time -- testing times

 

[darkmoon459]

Haider is in to bat

 

[Amir]

We will be lucky to get 120. A terrible pitch for Twenty20 cricket. It should be batting contest, not a test match pitch. However knowing the south africans, expect them to make the same type of pitches in the ODI series.

Razzaq was our hope but threw it away.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Now to see if Zulqarnain can handle pressure or not

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

lets hope we don't the lowest score batting first in a 20/20

 

[TheSaint]

First ball beaten - bats with a Razzaq-like stance - Zulqarnain

 

[darkmoon459]

This guys Morkel is bowling well ,maiden over.

 

[Toony™®]

6 down ...no matter masala match!

 

[sehban]

pak will be lucky if they can get 115 right now

 

[TheSaint]

94-6 from 15.2

 

[TheSaint]

Wide- 98-6 15.5

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Afridi is still there....so there is a bit of hope!

 

[Toony™®]

whats rameez on?

'players have been here for a while...'

 

[darkmoon459]

4 more over to go ,

 

[TheSaint]

4 over to go - 98-6 - we would be lucky to get 125- 130 to make a game of it.

 

[darkmoon459]

100 is up

 

[TheSaint]

100 up 16.2 overs

 

[pak4life]

rameez the pitch is seaming all over the place are you watching the same game

 

[Usman Chadda]

I think Afridi should go all out here. There is no point looking for singles at this stage of the match

 

[Imy]

Have you seen the wicket with swing and seam, 120 is not a very bad score

 

[Easa]

102/6

Afridi 7 of 13.

 

[TheSaint]

Rana padded up- only 5 in the over

 

[Amir]

Wow only if Afridi could bat like this in a test match.

 

[Gunner786]

morkel to afridi!!

 

[ariankhan86]

Thankss yaar.

 

[Gunner786]

and hes out!!

 

[Easa]

Thomas to Afridi, 17 balls to go!

 

[Usman Chadda]

What ever the hell is Afridi doing?! I cant watch the match live so cant comment on the pitch but 6 RPO at this stage is terrible

 

[TheSaint]

Too much swing and movement off the pitch and Afridi goes with a swipe flying to point

 

[darkmoon459]

Afridi is gone ,suxed as always

 

[Easa]

And gone!

 

[Amir]

What a innings by Afridi. I knew he had it in him.

 

[Gunner786]

i really would like to see rameez face to face
he cant criticise current players anyway

not like he has a good career going by his stats is it

 

[Medic]

*sigh* 103/7

 

[saghir]

afridi in test mode )

 

[Amir]

What ever the hell is Afridi doing?! I cant watch the match live so cant comment on the pitch but 6 RPO at this stage is terrible

Give him a break man. He is a test quality player...he is not accustomed to this version of the game. He is more traditional.

 

[Toony™®]

gone...
