20/20 South Africa v Pakistan at Joburg (updates)

[Gunner786]

haider has no power at all

 

[Usman Chadda]

Great. Just great. Afridi never looked like Afridi out there

 

[aamir]

Rameez annoys me more than any other commentator in the world. Even more than Waqar if that is possible.

 

[TheSaint]

Zulqarnain trying his best to take singles

 

[pak4life]

afridi trying his best not to get into the world cup squad

 

[Amir]

Great. Just great. Afridi never looked like Afridi out there

He looked exactly like Afridi.

 

[darkmoon459]

haider is gone

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan 103/7

Pretty ordinary performance so far. Looked good when Hafeez was taking the bowlers to the cleaners but the follow-up has been pathetic

 

[12thMan]

ZQ out

 

[TheSaint]

Gone again- wild swipe to mid-on Zulqarnain 5 from 9
Rehman in- lefty

 

[Amir]

Haider gone now. Wow this is pathetic. We even need the likes of Inzi for Twenty20!

 

[Toony™®]

8 down...

 

[Usman Chadda]

So Zulqarnain good or bad?

 

[Amir]

I hope when South Africa comes, we just make pure turners. Like its a 20/20 game for the fans....why make a bowler friendly pitch?

 

[pak4life]

is rameez drunk? this is a 20/20 game players have to go for their shots

 

[Gunner786]

we should all blame younis

if he hadnt got run out we would have been in a good position by now

 

[Imy]

Amir its not pathetic look at the movement. You dont score you loose whats the use for defending 5 overs and making 4 runs

 

[Amir]

Lol, why is Inzi padded up?!?!?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rehman in now

 

[Medic]

what the hell is this?!?!? pakistan playing atrociously

 

[Medic]

Its up to Rana to save us

 

[TheSaint]

So Zulqarnain good or bad?

Did not play a single attacking shot till the swipe-pull to get out but looked sensible to start with- looked a bit too thin & wiry though!!

 

[Easa]

Lol, why is Inzi padded up?!?!?

Probably had a net or is going to have one. LOLOLO OMG.

 

[Amir]

Maybe we can get some edges that go for boundaries. To get 120

 

[PlanetPakistan]

If Asif was playing then we would have been in with a chance!

 

[Amir]

Probably had a net or is going to have one. LOLOLO OMG.

Unless he plans to come out as Shabbir Ahmed. "Hmmmmmmm it seems Shabbir has gained some weight while waiting to play again"

 

[Easa]

Last over coming up, 111/8.

 

[Easa]

Van der vath to bowl the final over..

 

[TheSaint]

Rameez has been absolutely stupid today poor comments throughout

 

[darkmoon459]

final over , let see if we can reach 130 or so.

 

[Amir]

Only if Danish was batting, he would have hit 3 sixes by now!

 

[Amir]

Rana top edge and De villers drops it haha

 

[TheSaint]

nice single for a bye to the keeper

 

[Easa]

Two runs down to third man with an open face by Rana. de Villiers then drops a pull shot!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Probably had a net or is going to have one. LOLOLO OMG.

the team management wants to check for 1 last time if Shabbir is chucking or not!

 

[Daoud]

Another Rambo mess up. He said the batsmen have no excuse cause they've been here for a whole test series

Can you guys remind me which test did Imran Nazir, Shoaib Malik, Abdur Razzaq, Afridi or Zulkarnain play in?

 

[12thMan]

Rameez knows everything. keep it up RR

 

[Amir]

Scamper through for a single after a play and miss

 

[Usman Chadda]

South Africa just have to play test cricket to stroll to a victory here. This score is terrible

 

[TheSaint]

we get an over throw!!!!!!!! 117-8

Six by Ranaaaaaaaaaaaa 123

 

[Easa]

Another Rambo mess up. He said the batsmen have no excuse cause they've been here for a whole test series

Can you guys remind me which test did Imran Nazir, Shoaib Malik, Abdur Razzaq, Afridi or Zulkarnain play in?

[Easa]

116/8

We need a 6!

 

[Amir]

2 more byes from another play and miss plus overthrow

 

[Medic]

115/8 19.3overs

 

[darkmoon459]

6666666666666666666666666666 for rana

 

[Amir]

RANA hoicks it over fine leg for SIX! GOod ...we got a decent total

 

[12thMan]

a six by RANA

 

[Straight Bat]

sixer

 

[Imy]

Pakistan will win this game. not a bad score, ball is swinging a lot and rana is in his english type elements

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rana is a bigger beast than Afridi, Malik and Razzaq combined together!

 

[CrickFan]

130 to win

 

[TheSaint]

Another 6 - 2 in 2 by Rana--that makes it a 130 target--- go Rana!!

 

[ZM]

brilliant from rana

 

[darkmoon459]

and another 666666666666666666666 , wow rana

 

[SUPERSAMI]

nice cameo from Rana

 

[Easa]

116/8

We need a 6!

Rana does the job for us!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another heave come on Rana

 

[Amir]

ANOTHER SIX! So SA need 130....alright nice...good decent total.

We can win this!

 

[12thMan]

another six by Rana. flicked of the legs

 

[Easa]

130 runs to win, will be a difficult chase on this track and in these conditions.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Who needs the likes of Afridi when we have Rana eh?

 

[Lahoria]

Lets just hope that the pitches in WI are belters otherwise don't expect too many runs from our allrounders like Malik and Afridi.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

well done Rana!!

 

[Daoud]

Difficult conditions but not the best team selection. We only have 3 pacers, and I've never seen Razzaq swing the ball so a lot is down to Rana and Shabbir

 

[sehban]

the score is very similar to ind-sa 20 20 match

 

[Daoud]

Lets just hope that the pitches in WI are belters otherwise don't expect too many runs from our allrounders like Malik and Afridi.

South African conditions under lights are quite unique. YOu can be rest assured that the pitches in the WC will be totally different

 

[Medic]

SIX!!! and SIX!!!! 129 off the full 20 Overs. Great end. Hats off to Rana (17 runs in 7 balls)

The game was looking great for Pak till the flurry of wickets, since then no-one could pick up the pace. Disappointing score when you look at the good start

 

[Usman Chadda]

I dont think we should ever place Malik in the 'hitters' group ever! The guy has lost the ability to hit the ball...

 

[darkmoon459]

well, it will be intresting to see what shabbir and rana can do with the ball.

 

[Pak_Pace]

how big are the boundaries, i heard from commentators that they were brought in, but they look really, really small....those two sixes by Rana didnt look anything like a six, especially the last one...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Difficult conditions but not the best team selection. We only have 3 pacers, and I've never seen Razzaq swing the ball so a lot is down to Rana and Shabbir

A Rehman and Afridi do well on this pitch!

 

[Usman Chadda]

how big are the boundaries, i heard from commentators that they were brought in, but they look really, really small....those two sixes by Rana didnt look anything like a six, especially the last one...

Yet our 'big hitters' foundered...

 

[iafzal]

Rana is a gamer!!

made something out of the hopeless situation.

All upto Rana, Shabbir and Rehman and brain transformed to play like a test innings Afridi.

 

[darkmoon459]

I think rana should bat a bit higher , he is always been fruitful in ODI's.

 

[Usman Chadda]

How much time till the next innings starts?

 

[dirk diggler]

IMO justin kemps innings will be the deciding factor

 

[Pak_Pace]

Yet our 'big hitters' foundered...

yeah, i mean mis-hits should go for six here...Razzaq and Afridi really dissappointed...they could have actually placed the ball for six...a lofted shot in the gap could easily go for six...

 

[darkmoon459]

about to start ,teams on the field.

 

[darkmoon459]

smith and bosman to open SA inning

 

[Usman Chadda]

yeah, i mean mis-hits should go for six here...Razzaq and Afridi really dissappointed...they could have actually placed the ball for six...a lofted shot in the gap could easily go for six...

Afridi with his defensive approach couldnt have hit any sixes today. Razzaq and Nazir disappointed big time
