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

[DotCom]

Azhar is good at the pull shot, and good against pacers in general.

we will Mahmood in full form today . . .

 

[Easa]

50 runs from 67 balls, great partnership!

 

[Usman]

Appeal against Moyo turned down!

 

[TheSaint]

Pollock keeping it tight

 

[DotCom]

Commies having an orgy on Gibbs 81 SR ... at this ground..

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

mahmood is a good player off the backfoot - his cut shot is quite fearsome! - his shots through the offside in general are v impressive - only real weakness is a decent leg spinner and none of those in sight unless ofcourse he looks across the dressing room!

 

[TheSaint]

4 from the Pollock 9th over again- good going.

 

[junaid78]

125/4 run rate 3.8

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

125/4 off 33 - 102 balls remaining

 

[Lightning]

Ok Malik needs to start playing some shots now.

 

[CricketBuff]

batting will not be easy under lights

 

[Rob H]

pulled for 4 by Yousuf just front of mid wicket. Great shot.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

long hop from smith - whipped away for 4 from moyo! much needed!

 

[Usman]

Great shot!

 

[TheSaint]

Pulled 4 from Yousuf - into the gap but a bit risky. Malik should take initiative- Yousuf should play it cool for the next 5 overs.

 

[Easa]

pulled away for 4 by Yousuf.

130/4

 

[offcutter]

Now I see why this score seems so low to me. South Africa have bowled 0 no balls and wides so far. Great job!

 

[Noman]

Malik need to give strike to moyo..

 

[TheSaint]

132-4 from 34

 

[161]

come on malik/moyo get it on ... we got a deep batting order so play some shots !!

 

[Easa]

Yousuf unbeaten on 64..

 

[Noman]

If afridi and Razzag fire, this will be helll of a match

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

7 from that smith over!

132/4 off 34 overs! 96 balls left

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

280/7 odd will be final pak score.. my prediction

 

[PlanetPakistan]

132/4...partnership= 61

 

[Easa]

7 runs of that over. Good stuff.

132/4

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

pollock bowling his final over here

 

[MIG]

Malik is the one who has to take a few chances now - MoYo should stay till the end of this innings.

 

[Noman]

come on malik/moyo get it on ... we got a deep batting order so play some shots !!

I think the time has come to play some shots.

 

[Easa]

If afridi and Razzag fire, this will be helll of a match

Don't forget Mahmood. He is brutal in domestic Twenty20 for Surrey.

 

[CricketBuff]

commy says 240 will be challenging

 

[Noman]

Malik is the one who has to take a few chances now - MoYo should stay till the end of this innings.

 

[TheSaint]

Pollock almost induces a wicket- a missed pull from Yousuf- faint nick floored by Boucher standing up

 

[Oxy]

come on malik/moyo get it on ... we got a deep batting order so play some shots !!

Too risky - it only takes 2 balls to wipe out that 'deep batting'.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

pitch offering a lot of bounce

 

[Usman]

Cricbuzz commentator says "Pollock has got his head on his hands"

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

136-4 off 35 overs..

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

136/4 off 35

 

[TheSaint]

Ball being looked at but not changed- 15 overs to go

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

Too risky - it only takes 2 balls to wipe out that 'deep batting'.

I am optimistic! I have faith in my team. Afridi and razzy a quick 35 in 15 balls each

 

[Usman]

Pollock seen off now. Ntini still has 4 overs.

 

[Easa]

CricBuzz commentary is behind, probably using a cheap stream!

 

[CricketBuff]

15 overs to go guys

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

malik down the track - edged to 3rd man region - 2 runs

 

[Easa]

4 runs from the over. 15 still to be bowled.

Run Rate : 3.91 Current Partnership: 67(87)

 

[TheSaint]

Malik lucky that gets 2 from a false shot- leading edge off Smith down the track

 

[Easa]

and malik comes down the track. doesn't make great contact, 2 runs taken.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

malik cuts to deep cover - another 2 runs - good running!

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

fireworks are about to start...

 

[Easa]

Ball to be changed here, me thinks.

 

[CricketBuff]

CricBuzz commentary is behind, probably using a cheap stream!

it is very biased. think they watch it on tv and then do the commentary from there.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

a wide from smith - first wide in over 36! remarkable!

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

its afrdi time anytime now folks!!

 

[CricketBuff]

first wide of innings, no no-balls

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

142/4 off 36 overs

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

afridi's ideal time is anytime after over 38

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

partnership has doubled the score - 71 off 91 balls

 

[PlanetPakistan]

first wide of innings, no no-balls

this is called discipline!

 

[Easa]

'The man with a briefcase full of balls' - CricBuzz

) ) )

 

[CricketBuff]

think malik shd go for his shots now, MoYo to stay there till the end.
MoYo 66
Malik 31

 

[Easa]

only one wide in 36 overs. wow.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

kallis back into the attack

 

[Pathan007]

250 should be a target.

 

[Oxy]

'The man with a briefcase full of balls' - CricBuzz

) ) )

OI!!! Leave Hari & Anshumaan alone. Their doing a good job.

100% sheer bakwaas - but its free

 

[Easa]

Kallis back into the attack

142/4

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

malik picks up 2 off kallis' first ball, slight misfield

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

smart cricket by pakistan

 

[Easa]

Flicked to deep midwicket for 2 by Malik..

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

kallis to moyo - pushes it to long on, 1 run

 

[Easa]

and then a single of the second ball.

moyo on strike!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

kallis to malik, slower ball,a nother single 147/4

 

[Easa]

Moyo with a single..

won't be long now before the long handle comes into the equation, Pakistan have established a good platform here.

 

[Rob H]

Kallis bowling long hops.

 

[Osman]

just out of interest Easa ... what channel are you watching this on in Kuwait ?

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

kallis to moyo, short and pulled, straight to the fielder at deep backward sqaure - only a single, unlucky

 

[Rob H]

148/4 off 37

 

[UJ]

Great partnership - didn't I tell you guys these two bat well together. Didn't I....

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

148/4 off 37 overs

 

[CricketBuff]

13 overs to go now, boom boom time

 

[DotCom]

I think MOYO should CHARGE .. he is in FORM .. we need his RUNS .. Malik can rotate well with the TAIL BEASTS..
