[MenInG]

Good - get those wickets anyway they come

Well done to SSA

 

[kron]

Game on!!!!!!

Very lucky wicket bro but hey I will take it. Beggars can't be choosers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is how things happen with SA in these kind of games. They manage to find fielders with precision

 

[angrypathan]

Clint Eastwood at the crease

 

[RyanRyan10]

Pakistan have an opening here

 

[Major]

See the start SA openers provided and what our duds do specially parchi Imam.

Looks like this guya stream is slow

 

[kron]

Good - get those wickets anyway they come

Well done to SSA

Bit fortunate though man. That was struck superbly. Credit for field setting to babar.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

See the start SA openers provided and what our duds do specially parchi Imam.

We play with 10 men

 

[Sunzi]

Please bowl tight. Please.

 

[NeVerMind]

Clint Eastwood at the crease

Spot on! Or more like his son, Scott Eastwood

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 more before 100

 

[Major]

Clint Eastwood at the crease

Qotw hahaha

 

[NeVerMind]

All of a sudden, Shaheen gets his length and line right

 

[AMSS]

Kock departs but I'd say it again. Not one delivery has misbehaved in this match so far.

QdK paid the price of being cavalier.

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

What a monstrous batting line-up this is. Such good hitters one after the another.

 

[mominsaigol]

Top wicket taker this first class season

Search his name on youtube and you'll see what i am talking about

Okay

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen got some freebie wicket sin this world cup. Well timed shots went to fielders. He won't complain

 

[Major]

Dussen loves to score against us. This guy we need to get.

 

[NeVerMind]

Clint Eastwood at the crease

Question is, is he feeling lucky? Punk!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

QDK choked. Uff. This lineup is just waiting to choke.

Perfect storm for Pakistan. A tired opponent on an unfamiliar surface and who are terrible at chasing.

 

[Devadwal]

Man that was pathetic delivery to got wicket .
Shaheen Afridi wickets in this world cup are most impactless and useless so far.
Let's see what he can do today

 

[JattMaula]

Pakistan need at least one more in powerplay.

 

[Savak]

Lucky Shaheen

 

[t_kaay]

The only way we winning this is by taking a couple of more quick wickets in the next 5 overs and SA choking.

 

[Sunzi]

Question is, is he feeling lucky? PunPunk

Beat me to it!

 

[hafizexpress]

Did the commie just say "no haris rauf today, naseem shah into the attack"

 

[kron]

Uhmm those fans had de kocks spelling wrong lol. Unless they are trolling.

 

[rhony]

Like the tactics so far.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

it was asia cup taht shot our confidence.

 

[kron]

Did the commie just say "no haris rauf today, naseem shah into the attack"

I swear I heard that too. Is that moron ravi drinking again. Bozo.

 

[Syed1]

Captain dosti yaari starting to use his brain now that we are out of the tournament

 

[angrypathan]

Great stop by Agha

 

[rhony]

Did the commie just say "no haris rauf today, naseem shah into the attack"

No he said Waseem Shah. Ravi had a couple of extra drinks last night

 

[dravidthewall]

Can bavuma scores 100 lol

 

[vodafone_lover]

Well done Agha

 

[emranabbas]

Need to stop giving batsmen room
Every bowler is doing it

Whose the bowling coach

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz seems ordinary here...

 

[Azzurri]

Captain dosti yaari starting to use his brain now that we are out of the tournament

I am sure this is also preplanned

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan's 12th man Bavuma almost caused a run out.

 

[imshally81]

Need to stop giving batsmen room
Every bowler is doing it

Whose the bowling coach

Morkal

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

why not iftikhar?

 

[Sunzi]

Good fielding by Salman.

Don't bowl short Nawaz.

 

[Syed1]

We could have dropped useless parchi Imam and played Agha in the middle order instead. Push Babar to open.

 

[sweep_shot]

First 2 overs: 30/0.

Next 3 overs: 8/1.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you track Nawaz's deliveries all of them are wides. Nothing at the stumps

 

[rhony]

why not iftikhar?

Ifthinwas for De lock. Nawaz is for Van. Idea is for the ball to leave the batsmen

 

[angrypathan]

Shadab okay and expected to return, welcome news I suppose

 

[Major]

Man that was pathetic delivery to got wicket .
Shaheen Afridi wickets in this world cup are most impactless and useless so far.
Let's see what he can do today

Well he got a wicket.... a dumb statement to make AFTER he got one.

 

[Devadwal]

Why no slip for Nawaz

 

[t_kaay]

Good news for South Africa....Shadab is ok and will be returning to bowl later

 

[emranabbas]

If you track Nawaz's deliveries all of them are wides. Nothing at the stumps

We have had this problem with all out bowlers they give to much room

 

[vodafone_lover]

Nawaz has to slow down his speed a bit otherwise it will be too easy for the SA side to play and take easy singles thus reducing the pressure

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

one bad over in the start and ....... SA are in the game. importance of a good attack bowler.

 

[MenInG]

Good news for South Africa....Shadab is ok and will be returning to bowl later

Alhamdulillah that he is fine.

 

[MMHS]

Very lucky wicket bro but hey I will take it. Beggars can't be choosers.

It’s a significant wicket because now two right handers and both slow Poe - need some right overs from Nawaz & Shaheen to build the pressure.

 

[Major]

Good captaincy by babar, using spinners in the pp. This will increase the balld and runs margin

 

[rhony]

Pakistan's 12th man Bavuma almost caused a run out.

Please don't insult the 12th men everywhere

 

[Devadwal]

Well he got a wicket.... a dumb statement to make AFTER he got one.

Tell me which match his wicket were impactful so far??

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bavuma and RVD tuk tukking. The choke is on, lads

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is not remotely close to Wankhede. It has really spoilt them

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Good captaincy by babar, using spinners in the pp. This will increase the balld and runs margin

Hopefully and if the get one wicket .... cool.

 

[emranabbas]

Now afridi bowling the correct line and not leaking runs

 

[Ali Active]

dont take the wicket of bavuma

 

[160KPH]

Shaheen is such a momentum bowler. Got beat up the first over and just kept howling bad balls. Then suddenly he gets a wicket and now he’s bowling really good line and length.

 

[kron]

Qdk
Klaasen
Main batters for SA

Miller somewhat...not as dangerous but can take it away if hebgets going.

Rest are nothing special.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bavuma lol Such a low quality batsman

 

[Buffet]

Rotate the strike, not get bogged down.

 

[160KPH]

Shaheen the kind of guy that you need to give constant confidence too. Completely different bowler when he’s confident.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Bavuma lol Such a low quality batsman

average of 50 ... and low quality?

 

[emranabbas]

We need need to make sure these 2 stay at the crease just bowl tight

 

[Sunzi]

Bavuma is our trump card here.

 

[angrypathan]

Good over by Shaheen

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Last 4 overs - 9 runs. After taking 30 off 2.

 

[hitthestump]

We need need to make sure these 2 stay at the crease just bowl tight

Target is too small for that.

If we don’t take 10 wickets it’s game over.

 

[160KPH]

First over he went for 19, second two overs got a wicket and only 2 runs off of them.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan tends to loose the plot once there is a partnership going.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hendricks was playing a great role.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Last 4 overs - 9 runs. After taking 30 off 2.

yeah that is what I was saying ...... importance of a good attack bowler.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

there we go again.

 

[7sins]

If sa want to win the semi final or final they have to drop bavuma
