[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

[saghir]

Razzaq striking some form and about time!!

well if he doesnt with Azhar on other side going well and bowling look of last match ) ) ) ) i would be worried if i was Razzy

 

[pak_all_the_way]

single taken

 

[TheSaint]

Hall bowling at the death-- he is a useful cricketer. Seems to use his head while bowling.

 

[KA$H]

Give him balding, middle aged county bowlers first....

u wouldnt have thought that Hall and Charles would that far off that descripo

 

[Osman]

Give him balding, middle aged county bowlers first....

) and so called "spinners"

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

single, razzaq back on strike

 

[Usman]

Hey guys, just logged on..kinda disappointed to see the score after wednesday's high.. but is this a fighting total? Can we play with this?

A bit of a collapse by Pakistan, however if we can get about 240 then we will be fighting. Its not a 300 pitch it doesn't seem.

 

[Rob H]

huge wide

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

wide from hall!! appreciated!

 

[CrickFan]

Great bowling by Hall ...Death bowler for sure

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

dot ball, a yorker from hall

 

[pak_all_the_way]

gonneeeeeeeee razzler gone goes after a wide one

 

[CrickFan]

Razaak out ..Hall does it again

 

[Rob H]

216/8

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

[CricketBuff]

[Usman]

Razzaq Gone!!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

rana naved in now!!

 

[CricketBuff]

must bat the 50 overs

 

[pak_all_the_way]

hahahahahha at the toyota yaris advert

"treat it with respect"

 

[CrickFan]

with Razaak ..250 hopes are gone as well

 

[TheSaint]

Hall snares Razzaq- frustrates him and bowls down the channel and it takes the edge to Boucher after Razzaq again tries the inside-out shot.
Rana & Azhar can still get a few quick boundaries but Razzaq is a beast when on song.

 

[Uzzy]

Nice to see we're keeping our reputation of making mediocre bowlers look world class.

 

[Gunner786]

time for azhar and rana to justfy their selections

but match is lost now anyway

we needed a shoaib or sami type of run through the batting order bowler which we havent got

all are medium pacers

 

[UJ]

Hall - 4/30...

 

[CricketBuff]

drizzle getting heavy now

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

rana picks up a single

217/8 - 18 balls left, heavy rain now

 

[pak_all_the_way]

rain stops play

 

[CricketBuff]

they are coming off

 

[darkmoon459]

hahahahahha at the toyota yaris advert

"treat it with respect"

what can you say about females ,they are cunning.

 

[Bailan]

lets hope azhar can add 10 an over from here

get us aroudn 245+ mark ...

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Players going off, rain too heavy

 

[Usman]

Rain stops play!

 

[Gunner786]

rain comes to paks rescue

hope it rains all night now

 

[darkmoon459]

Rain stops the inning ,3 overs to go.

 

[pak_all_the_way]

what can you say about females ,they are cunning.

That they are

 

[CrickFan]

Hope it rains all night ...!!

 

[MIG]

Pak bowlers need to bowl well - spinners can really bottle up the SA batsmen - Asif can make the initial inroads and All Rana has to do is not give away runs !

 

[Pathan007]

Hope it rains all night ...!!

yes brother.

 

[TheSaint]

D/L method to come in again I guess as it is rain and not a blackout etc

 

[darkmoon459]

Hope it rains all night ...!!

I am hoping for the same , may be pakistan will be spared a defeat here.

 

[CrickFan]

Shortened game will definitely help Saffies .. Not that they need any help .. Should get this total comfortably

 

[Medic]

so what now

 

[CrickFan]

Pak bowlers need to bowl well - spinners can really bottle up the SA batsmen - Asif can make the initial inroads and All Rana has to do is not give away runs !

MIG bhaijaan .. Asif Bachey kee jaan logey kiaaa ??

 

[MIG]

MIG bhaijaan .. Asif Bachey kee jaan logey kiaaa ??

Bhaiya agar Pakistan kee uniform pehnee hai to jaan deyna bhee chotee cheez hai kay naheen ?

 

[KA$H]

i dont think its all doom n gloom - their medium pacers did a job - i reckon under lights even this will be a stiff target even against our bowlers

 

[MIG]

I am just irritated by both Razzaq and Azhar drawing away from Hall and playing shots so far away from their bodies...even YK did that.

 

[Pathan007]

i dont think its all doom n gloom - their medium pacers did a job - i reckon under lights even this will be a stiff target even against our bowlers

wid rana going over 10runs an over, this is nothing.

 

[Oxy]

so what now

Shopping in the snow for me. We were planning to order a pizza, but its closed due to weather!!!

 

[Pathan007]

made him look like McGrath.

 

[MIG]

About to get food from the best Lamb chop and Shish Taouk place in Bahrain ... yummmmyyy...

 

[the true passionist]

This game basically depends on how Rana bowls today..
This could pretty much be his last chance in the series if he doesn't deliver. Basically Rana and Asif need to take 3 quick wickets to make a match out of this one. We may also miss hafeez' bowling.

 

[MIG]

Rana - lost cause or unlikely hero today ?

Or will the game descend into one of those DL type farces ( 15 runs to get in 2 balls type thingy !)

 

[12thMan]

Rana will deliver with Azhar and Razzaq. ball should be swinging for them

 

[Lightning]

About to get food from the best Lamb chop and Shish Taouk place in Bahrain ... yummmmyyy...

I'm going to once again have some Cocoa Krispies. Yum.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Maybe if the rain doesn't take too much time away from the game, we can still get those 3 overs in the end to put up a decent score! I dont understand Azhar right now. The guy is no mug when it comes to hitting yet he is really quiet right now

 

[Serendipity]

well, if D/L work out in our favour, wont be such a bad thing but will spoil the cricket

 

[Bailan]

not just the swing, but the outfield would be soaking wet, so the SA would have take the ariel route quite often ...

 

[CricketBuff]

still raining

 

[madaboutlfc]

hows the pitch like and whats the par score..
havent followed it today coz of the weather and work

 

[CrickFan]

Only Rain can save Pakistan ..period

 

[MIG]

It dinner now - the target will some DL one but Pak inning ends at 217... If only Mahmood would have played some shots...

 

[the true passionist]

not just the swing, but the outfield would be soaking wet, so the SA would have take the ariel route quite often ...

This is not such a big target that SAF need to worry about wet field. They just need to make sure they bat 50 overs to win this one.

 

[Amoeba]

It dinner now - the target will some DL one but Pak inning ends at 217... If only Mahmood would have played some shots...

If it is DL then losing Abdul Razzaq just before will cost us dear.
Wickets quite rightly play a big part in the DL calc.
