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

[Ahmad]

I can hear commentators saying there are no more black clouds..

If we get another six of the last ball, will there be more black clouds?

 

[Lightning]

Yeah very dangerous. Azhar may pull a hamstring just looking at it!

 

[Pak_Attack]

looks like a revised total

 

[Lightning]

Play to begin in 10 minutes. DL stats still not in.

 

[Lightning]

The ground supposedly drains real well.

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

bowlers run-up and fielding conditions will be too dangerous, may result in injuries !!

Good point. If this is the case, the Pakistani management should not be willing to play if there's a risk for their players. This should be communicated to the match referees. Clearly, the fieldiing side has more at stake in difficult conditions.

 

[hasbeen]

The ground supposedly drains real well.

thats quite good then because rana tends to leak real well

 

[Lightning]

thats quite good then because rana tends to leak real well

Let's hope he keeps the leaking to a minimum today.

 

[Ahmad]

Still no news on the rain stopping or the covers getting off - on cricinfo / cricbuzz

 

[Lightning]

rain has already stopped dude.

hard roller being used.

 

[Ahmad]

"mzk123: i think ss should stop playing cricket and sell coconut oil like all m******s do"

Crazy! On Cricbuzz chat....!

 

[Ahmad]

rain has already stopped dude.

hard roller being used.

And do they say anything about the target being revised, when it might start, will Pak bat the last ball, etc etc?

 

[Lightning]

nothing man.

 

[the true passionist]

rain stopped but concerns over wet outfield...let's see..

 

[the true passionist]

And do they say anything about the target being revised, when it might start, will Pak bat the last ball, etc etc?

Pak innings is officially over.

 

[161]

if the outfield is wet they wont be able to get boundaries..

they will have to try to go over the top !

 

[Lightning]

Umpires having concerns about the outfield. Patches of the outfield too wet.

Pak mostly concerned about injuries probably. Obviously.

 

[the true passionist]

Inzi not happy to take field...showing the wet field to umps.

 

[shahid afr3d]

sa have a bad habit of insulting pk and every time they do they get punished

 

[Ahmad]

sa have a bad habit of insulting pk and every time they do they get punished

Care to elaborate your theory?

 

[12thMan]

sa have a bad habit of insulting pk and every time they do they get punished

which member are you talking too?

 

[Lightning]

I reckon match will be abandoned.

 

[the_game]

Sky is showing SA VS Pak WC 99 match. Shoaib looks so young!

 

[Oxy]

So Azhar got a run a ball, yet has been criticised for his slow play?? Weird"!

 

[Rana]

just imagine this match goes down to 20 overs then how match will safies have to chase??????

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Sky is showing SA VS Pak WC 99 match. Shoaib looks so young!

Because he was young

 

[Rana]

Because he was young

lol!

 

[Lightning]

196 from 33. I can hear the comms chatting away in the background.

 

[pacman]

I just heard a commentator say that if play starts at 9pm, then target will be 193 off 33 overs.

 

[the_game]

Because he was young

I know . David Shepherd robbed us of a decision! Mota! Cronje was out.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

So Azhar got a run a ball, yet has been criticised for his slow play?? Weird"!

After Afridi's innings the other day i dont think a strike rate of 100 is good enough for some of the PPers.

 

[Ahmad]

20.41 local time No rain but it's still pretty wet out there. The officials are in a huddle. Rudi runs his right hand on the grass. Wet. Shake of head. Bit of wind is blowing. More wait in store for us.

Update Rain has stopped but the outfield is not dry yet. Inzamam is out there with the umpires. So is Bob Woolmer. Both don't look too happy with the outfield. Can't risk a injury with World Cup just around the bend.


Cricinfo Update.

 

[CricketBuff]

ground inspection in 10 minutes

 

[Rana]

i think we might lose this if it goes down to 193 from 33 overs!

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

I know . David Shepherd robbed us of a decision! Mota! Cronje was out.

He robbed us? thats not like David Sheperd

 

[Lightning]

Rain is going to come again. Pshhh I'm off for now.

 

[the_game]

Wasim gets Kirsten! Yay.

 

[Ahmad]

So Azhar got a run a ball, yet has been criticised for his slow play?? Weird"!

Another case of stats being misleading. His entire stay at the wicket, except for may the cut four four and the other four to midwicket, was very un-inspiring.

 

[Ahmad]

i think we might lose this if it goes down to 193 from 33 overs!

Why so? The required run rate for SA would be higher than what it would've been had they been chasing 245 from 50.

 

[Azam6380]

Cullinan smashing Azhar and Razzaq....Great fielding from Shoaib too...

 

[Rana]

Why so? The required run rate for SA would be higher than what it would've been had they been chasing 245 from 50.

but they are capable of chasing that kinda score in 20 overs with maybe only the loss of 1 or 2 wickets!

 

[Ahmad]

There will be a pitch inspection after 9.00 pm local time. Current local time is 20:51.

We need to get Cullinan soon. I predict a catch at cover off the bowling of Mahmood .

 

[Gunner786]

we lost that match by 3 wickets

zulu won the match for them saala

 

[ZM]

i advise pak supporters dont watch the end of the pak-sa world cup match

 

[Ahmad]

They'd chase 196 in 20 overs for the loss of 1-2 wickets?! Thats a brave, brave statement to make won't you say?

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Why not just look at the scorecard

akhtar got hammered by boucher and klusener wasnt it??

 

[Azam6380]

What A Catch! Cullinan Gone!

 

[Ahmad]

Pankaj jain is angry. "If play can not be permitted for wet conditions in the outfield, then why the hell they cover only the square. With so much money involved in cricket can't they cover the entire playing area?"

Cricinfo!!

 

[Azam6380]

RHODES GONE for ZERO!!!!

 

[CricketBuff]

There will be a pitch inspection after 9.00 pm local time. Current local time is 20:51.

Crininfo

inspection now taking place

 

[Azam6380]

haha...Moin to Razzaq..."CHALO CHALO GET UP GET UP!!!"

 

[hasbeen]

two of my all time favourite umpires in this match

 

[CricketBuff]

our main bowlers after asif are afridi and malik, and the wet ball will not suit the spinners

 

[the_game]

Watching Hair in that match is surreal.

 

[Azam6380]

I love the way Moin always berates Saqlain....."oh ho ho ho! COME ON SAQI"

 

[the_game]

Brilliant fielding from Wasim. What a captain!

 

[the_game]

I love the way Moin always berates Saqlain....."oh ho ho ho! COME ON SAQI"

he likes the saqia

 

[Gunner786]

48.6 Saqlain Mushtaq to Klusener, two runs, swinging down the wicket,
top edge, Saeed is under it at mid off, what an important catch
this will be, could Pakistan get back into it? DROPPED!

and they won the match with that drop

 

[Noman]

[Daoud]

Brilliant fielding from Wasim. What a captain!

I still remember that. Ran and dove, dragging the ball back at the boundary. If that wont inspire you, I dont know what will

Imagine Inzi doing that !

 

[CricketBuff]

more rain on the way in one hour

 

[Gunner786]

wasim should be a role model for current lazy idiots in the team

wasim had diabetes and still fields like that

even razzaq in those times could move about

 

[Azam6380]

Poor backing up from Pak.

 

[Azam6380]

Inzi catches Pollock and falls to the floor crying...

 

[Idris Gogen]

I am all confused, if the play is resumed and they use some whacky calculation and allow Sa to chase something like 125 in 20 overs. I think this is not fair, this will be a piece of cake for them, I am not sure, would appreciate someone to explain what is the procedure here.

 

[the_game]

Pakistan really should have won this after SA were 58 for 5.

 

[Daoud]

Imagine Inzi doing that !

Dont diss Inzi. He was our best fielder in the Windies series!

 

[the_game]

Play starting in ten minutes. Reduced to 29 overs. A big rainstorm is moving in though.

 

[Daoud]

Pakistan really should have won this after SA were 58 for 5.

This was during the midst of them really having a whip around us. 16-0

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

How many runs do they need in 29 overs ??

 

[Azam6380]

Pakistan really should have won this after SA were 58 for 5.

Yeah, cant beleive we lost...I keep checking the scorecard on cricinfo expecting it to change...! )

 

[pak4life]

anything below 175 i will be disapointed

 

[CricketBuff]

play starts in 10 minutes, pak shd bowl the overs as slow as possible as more rain on the way in one hour.

 

[Gunner786]

lets hope the run rate is very nearly 6

then if we can get early wickets and rain coems down again but after 20 overs
we should win this match
