Pakistan v SA | World T20 | 1st Semi-final| Trent Bridge| 18/6/09

[mnoman15]

Play sensibly , we have Razzaq to tale care at end

 

[Stewie]

130 more in 96 balls... and we will be safe..

 

[Lethal]

Thats better from S.Malik.

Another single.

 

[Oxy]

Nice cut for 1 by Malik

32-3

 

[FAM]

140 is what I see.

 

[lalaji]

guys chill...malik is good at this position..he needs to settle down while lala does the demage

 

[iZeeshan]

Come on get a BOUNDARY!

Look for 50-55 in the first 6.

 

[Oxy]

32-2 off 4 overs

 

[Rana]

This needs 150 atleast!

 

[Lethal]

Decent shot from Afridi after making room but straight to the fielder.

32-2 after 4 overs.

 

[Inswinger]

Saffers putting the breaks on the runs now. Hopefully Afridi won;t lose his cool.

 

[Lethal]

Kallis is the new bowler.

 

[mnoman15]

Afridi had a brain fart , we dont need to take risks

 

[Stewie]

ut you know what at least i am glad that younis told them to go after it in PP ... it shows pakistan went in with a plan.. thats why they sent afridi up too.. of course now that they have lost two wickets they are going to slow down a bit..


this is quite in contrast to our batting strategy early on in this tournament and its refreshing to see..

good aggressive intent from pakistan.. always dangerous when they are cornered...

 

[pak4life]

quite after the huge storm first up - lets see what kallis has to offer

 

[saqeeb90]

jacques kallis in for bowling

 

[Sparhawk]

I'm still not sure what Afridi's approach is today.. hes playing his shots but not very hard

 

[Oxy]

Kallis on for Steyn

 

[GQ]

6 to 8 runs RR is not bad initially as long as you have wickets in hand until 10 overs.

 

[mooz]

Malik's batting is putting a lot of pressure on Afridi. I wish YK had come in instead.

 

[Oxy]

Nice shot by Malik - only 1

33-2

 

[The Slogger]

Afridi vs Kallis

 

[Lethal]

Good intent from S.Malik.

Single taken to give Afridi strike.

 

[saqeeb90]

wow malik is shoing intent for high shots..

 

[lalaji]

lets not lose anymore wickets please......come lala

 

[Sparhawk]

Play and a miss from Afridi

 

[ahmed16]

Intent from Malik, good hit.

 

[Oxy]

Wild swing by Afridi - calm down man!

 

[saqeeb90]

oops...
is he even watching the bowl...

 

[FAM]

Afridi is about to get out.

 

[Lethal]

Afridi giving room but misses the ball

 

[Stewie]

its clear we are going after the bowling guys.

 

[lalaji]

afridi is just swinging ..

 

[Oxy]

And again - poor shots

 

[mnoman15]

Afridi m no risks please

 

[ahmed16]

Only for a single, but intent, thats all we want to see.

 

[Amir]

Kallis canot bowl any moe short balls.

 

[iZeeshan]

I'm scared...

 

[Shayan]

Clearly a short-bowling tactic from SA.

 

[saqeeb90]

that should be no ball......
it was too high

 

[Oxy]

its clear we are going after the bowling guys.

More like after 'fresh air'

 

[lalaji]

short pitch after short pitch and miss after miss

 

[Salman]

too many wild swings from Afridi

 

[iZeeshan]

what is Afridi doing!? Is he even watching the ball?

 

[GQ]

Kallis Uncle is a dangerous bowler.

 

[t_kaay]

smacks it this time

 

[khilari]

Why no NO BALLS?

[iZeeshan]
