3rd ODI: SA v Pak [Port Elizabeth] - Pak Inngs

[Easa]

Around 80 minutes to go before the start of this crucial one dayer between the Saffies and Pakistan. The series is locked 1-1 here, and this should be a great watch.

Pakistan, I think, might give Rana a break, and play Rao with the rest of the team unchanged, while for South Africa, Nel is out and might be for the entire series.

Here is the preview to the game:

[musti]

i think asif should be rested and naved should be dropped. in come mohammed sami and abdul rehman.

 

[Easa]

The changing of the title reeks of PlanetPakistan! Is this your work?

 

[Salman]

Hope we can win the toss lottery again, Nel out of the SA attack, Pak confidence high, needs to be backed up by some solid fielding...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

The changing of the title reeks of PlanetPakistan! Is this your work?

Yes good guess!

 

[DotCom]

toss will decide the outcome... these day nights are way too one sided...

PK was a force in the late 90s b/c of those day night Sharjah matches... and having pacers like Wasim/Waqar and a young Shoaib/Razzaq/Mahmood..

 

[Billy]

Pakistan Zindabad!

 

[Uzzy]

No Nel? Thats a shame. Easy runs will be missed.

 

[Easa]

No Nel? Thats a shame. Easy runs will be missed.

Exactly. I just hope we can win the toss and bat, its hard chasing under lights.

stick to facts mate. Dont make things up will you, thanks.

 

[Easa]

What is going on here?

PAKISTAN have won the toss and will be batting here, not South Africa, people. Great news, waisay!

 

[Easa]

Going by the pitch report, it looks like a hard, fast track but very good for batting. 300+ on the cards here, me thinks.

 

[inzidabest]

stick to facts mate. Dont make things up will you, thanks.

well there is no need to get heated up. My bro called me and told this. I wasnt sure it was a prank.I just posted that and I did correct myself.

If it is only about facts, why come here then..right?
It is an interaction site.

 

[Usman]

It is confirmed that Pakistan have won the toss and will bat.

 

[ZM]

yess
i wanted pakistan to bat first

 

[junaid78]

toss just happen now pakistan won toss

 

[DotCom]

can they repeat their performance, or atleast come close...

we need Akmal/Inzy/Razzaq to step it up this time...

 

[Uzzy]

Rana should have been left out of this game. He is definitely out of sorts and in his current state can be a liability.

 

[Easa]

Rana has been given a chance to redeem himself after his poor performance in the first two ODI's. Happy that the management is smarter than most posters on PakPassion and don't just judge a player on two games. He was Man of the series against the Windies, remember?

 

[Usman]

AJ Hall in for Nel

 

[CricketBuff]

Avg score on this ground is 228

 

[Salman]

Nazir V Polloack- Who will win!!!

 

[Salman]

Down the leg...

 

[Pathan007]

pak would need to score around 250 to have any chances.

 

[darkmoon459]

First ball ,hige appeal for lbw ,nazir saved ,going down the legside.

 

[Salman]

nobodys getting heated up yaar. In this thread it should be about facts yeah. For those not watching the game, its not fair to post things that arent correct.

 

[Salman]

Akmal on Stike... played to point

 

[darkmoon459]

3 off the first over.

 

[Salman]

Akmal Blocked... Pak 3/0 from the first over...

 

[Easa]

[Oxy]

3 off the first over.

Oh no - only 3 off the first over, we'll struggle to get 150 at this rate - sack themm all!!!

 

[Salman]

Nintini to Nazir - nearly 4

 

[Noman]

Akaml looking to have an eye in here

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I am not very comfortable with our bowling attack...can't have Azhar, Malik, AR and Afridi to bowl 60% of the overs.

 

[Usman]

We need to win this match and the next match so the senior players can get some rest before the WC. Lets see what happens.

 

[ZM]

nice shot again 2 runs for imran off ntini

 

[UJ]

England just beat Australia....lets make it a double boys!!

 

[Easa]

Oh no - only 3 off the first over, we'll struggle to get 150 at this rate - sack themm all!!!

how about starting a live score and maybe a chat on this, our favourite website

 

[Noman]

England just beat Australia....lets make it a double boys!!

Collingwood did play a match winning inning..

Good bowling by england

 

[Easa]

I am not very comfortable with our bowling attack...can't have Azhar, Malik, AR and Afridi to bowl 60% of the overs.

Well, Afridi is basically playing as a specialist spinner in ODI's. He is our best spinner and one of our better ODI bowlers. Mahmood bowled well in the last ODI, as well. The only thing worrying is Razzaq's form, at the moment.

 

[Oxy]

Nazir looking good, punched behind square for another couple.

ICC not happy with any punching from our 'in-form' players.

 

[Serendipity]

I agree with Saj on this

 

[Easa]

Collingwood did play a much winning inning..

Good bowling by england

[junaid78]

[Easa]

ICC not happy with any punching from our 'in-form' players.

) Oxy in full flow today!

 

[Salman]

Pollock into Akmal, single Pak 7/0

 

[Usman]

Well, Afridi is basically playing as a specialist spinner in ODI's. He is our best spinner and one of our better ODI bowlers. Mahmood bowled well in the last ODI, as well. The only thing worrying is Razzaq's form, at the moment.

and hes also playing as a specialist bat!

 

[darkmoon459]

Pakistani batsmen are very cautious and quiet. 7 / 0

 

[junaid78]

afridi might be banned for 5-8 games for waving a bat at a spectator
