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

[Easa]

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

FoxSports, but I am also listening to commentary as it is kind of getting stuck.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

smith off, ntini on now

 

[Rob H]

150 up for the loss of 4 wickets.

 

[Master Blaster]

Pakistan: 148/4 (37.0 Ovs)
Mohammad Yousuf* 68(89)
Shoaib Malik 35(47)

13 overs left, with Boom Boom yet to come anything can happen.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

moyo cuts to 3rd man, good fielding saves two runs, 150 up for pakistan

 

[DotCom]

this is the crucial state now .. he has 4 more overs..

lets try to get 4-5 off each

 

[Easa]

Ntini in..

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

ntini to moyo, cuts to 3rd man, 2 runs, maybe a 4?

 

[Usman]

Cricbuzz commentator says "Razzaq is an all rounder" ) really, i didin't know that!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

4 runs instead of 2!!

 

[Easa]

'Razzaq is actually an all rounder'

Thanks for the wonderful insight!

 

[DotCom]

dude that was a FOUR .. why are you surprised commy?

Tv Ump is Ghora .. .he must be Anti-Racist.. hehe

 

[Easa]

that was a 4 down to 3rd man?

 

[Rob H]

edged and 4. Malik gets a life.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

ntini to malik, big drive, thick edge - 4 to MALIK!!!!

 

[Easa]

it was a 4.

159/4

 

[Easa]

another 4. edged away by Malik.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

oh no, its drizzling, hope the weather holds

 

[Gunner786]

just as we start attacking it starts raining

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

159/4 off 38 overs!!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

is it raining?

11 of the over...

 

[Easa]

12 overs to go, I'd be happy if we could get 100 runs from here.

 

[DotCom]

Malik has really improved his EDGE STROKE PLay ...

for a good cricketer .. he seems to get the most edge FOURS...

hence.. he should open .. and we can take his lucky 15-20 over Akmals 0-10s ..

 

[CrickFan]

yes - raining out there

 

[DotCom]

RAIN ON THE WAY ... falling already ..

 

[Gunner786]

good for us though

means theres moisture on the pitch

 

[UJ]

Damn hope we dont lose any overs...we're set for a big total!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

flicked for 2 from malik!

 

[Gunner786]

and malik goes

send razzaq in and not afridi

 

[Rob H]

got him. Malik goes for the big one, tops edges it and straight to mid on. The pull shot again proves the downfall.

Poor shot.

 

[CrickFan]

malik out

 

[Usman]

"patrnership is reaching dangerous um henm he nm proportions"- Cricbuzz )

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

MALIK GONE - caught at mid on

 

[DotCom]

will the moisture help Asif/Rana/Razzaq/Mahmood

Malik out trying to up the score..

 

[Easa]

Malik gone. Good innings, though.

162/5

 

[CricketBuff]

malik 41 off 51. well done

 

[Oxy]

"And he's aaaaahhh Yes its an expaaaaansive shot and its aaaahhhh OUT"

Christ! Do they normally charge people for this commentary?

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

a v useful innings from malik under big pressure

 

[CrickFan]

I guess he did his job ..time for so called allrounders to come to party

 

[Usman]

Afridi going to come in now

 

[Easa]

handy little innings, 41 of 51, under pressure. time for Afridi!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

"And he's aaaaahhh Yes its an expaaaaansive shot and its aaaahhhh OUT"

Christ! Do they normally charge people for this commentary?

) ) it is truly hilarious

afridi is in now

 

[Amir]

Good innings but stupid way to get out. Ball was rising and no need to slog it. He should have waited till 40th over.

 

[Pathan007]

another 1 to pull. that's 3 today.

 

[Oxy]

AFridi walks in.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

and cricbuzz believe afridi is 26!!!

 

[DotCom]

Malik did what Inzy should have ... and then Malik would not have gotten a bat again .. lol

 

[Bailan]

Malik >>> Younis

in the LOI format .... let the guy bat at his fav. spot #3

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

flicked for 2 by moyo, nice shot

 

[Easa]

Afridi strides in - lets see what he's got in store for us today!

 

[Noman]

well played, did try hard....

Handy inning

 

[Gunner786]

yousuf on his way to another 100

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

165/5 off 39 overs

moyo on strike

 

[Easa]

Malik >>> Younis

in the LOI format .... let the guy bat at his fav. spot #3

Younis made 93 in the second ODI batting @ 3.

 

[Easa]

Moyo on strike!

11 overs to go!

 

[DotCom]

Malik >>> Younis

in the LOI format .... let the guy bat at his fav. spot #3

I dont know why they ever removed him from the 3 spot .. he got injured.. so Hafeez replaced him, took his opening spot in all forms of the game .. and hence YK took his 1 down place as well ..

 

[CricketBuff]

cant even go to the washroom with afridi batting

 

[Gunner786]

and just as i say it he goes for 79

 

[Noman]

this is an interesting phase of the match.

 

[Rob H]

edged and gone Yousuf trying to run it down to 3rd man once too often.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

ntini gets moyo - NOOOOOOO.

 

[Gunner786]

he tried the shot too much

 

[CrickFan]

yusuf gone ...big big wicket for SA

 

[Rob H]

165/6 off 39.1

 

[Noman]

moyo out here..

 

[DotCom]

Younis made 93 in the second ODI batting @ 3.

dont u remember when BW took over, Malik was #3 and ON FIRE ..

then YK made TEST runs at # 3 and they kept YK at # 3 in ODI ?

MO YO gone ..

 

[Amir]

Crap man. Two wickets in two overs. NowMalik shot looks real stupid. Our all rounders now have to consolidate for 2-3 overs. Crap.

 

[Usman]

This is big trouble now!!!

 

[CrickFan]

Saffies on top again -

 

[Bailan]

Younis made 93 in the second ODI batting @ 3.

dosen't matter .... one odd innings dosen't count for anything, at the end of the day Malik has been better at that position ...

 

[DotCom]

well now its All or nothing ..

 

[Easa]

NOOOO!

Yousuf gone for a well made 79. Superb innings.

 

[Gunner786]

send azhar mahmood in instead of razzaq
razzaq should stick to the last 5 overs cos he will not be able to handle ntini

 

[Pathan007]

now 250 is impossible. mayb 200 to 220.

 

[Noman]

he tried the shot too much

Azhar need a chance here.

 

[Gunner786]

ominous signs

zimbabwe 2004 anyone?

 

[Toony™®]

stupid rain....affecting the players....

 

[Easa]

Razzaq in..

two big hitters in.

 

[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'.

Happy???

 

[DotCom]

ominous signs

zimbabwe 2004 anyone?

didnt they add 120+ in the last 10 ..
