Pakistan V South Africa | 1st ODI | Abu Dhabi | 29/10/10 | Pak Innings

[hashbb]

No...........!!

 

[don1990]

 

[Batman]

Asad Shafiq gone

 

[insaftak]

What a stupid shot by asad.

Here comes Younis Khan. Raja jinxed him

 

[hashbb]

**** bowling well

 

[Maula Jutt]

Asad

I'd say not bad for a first time opener. Seems promising. We should persist with him in that spot for a while. Get him ready for world cup.

 

[jasimisbest2]

lala shaifq gone.... well players... poor shot to get out on... he ahd no choice as Hafeez is asleep on other end

 

[hur rizvi]

Asad

He needs to work on his back foot play

YK IN

 

[NJamal]

Shafiq clearly surprised by shot ball from Kaalia

 

[asifp]

and here comes the Test batsman in ODI

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Brainfart. Asad gone.

 

[Prince_Pathan]

rameez...manhoos mouth lol

 

[chui_kadoo]

What a poor shot. Threw it away. Only 19 runs.

 

[yamibone]

Asad Shafiq looked terrible. Mistimed shots, edges.. this guy isn't an opener.

 

[Batman]

Younis Khan comes in making a comeback here

 

[shaykh1985]

Lol at the Junior Raja's...lets see how Younis does...

 

[Eht]

younas in..........

 

[NJamal]

Younis comes to bat

 

[Theo_14]

oh dear asad is gone for 19 - un mature shot but I'm not happy with the seniors sending the young inexperience man to open.

 

[Maula Jutt]

And now The Younis.

 

[ZAK]

Youins is back!!!

 

[don1990]

welcome back.

 

[chui_kadoo]

WHat a brain fart . What sort of shot was that

 

[hur rizvi]

Best wishes to Younis on his comeback ...

 

[chui_kadoo]

Definitly Asad should not play as an opener. That ploy failed big time. So many edges in that innings

 

[shaykh1985]

Tsotsobe's first short ball to Shafiq...really good delivery in the end...

 

[ZAK]

26/1 after 8 overs.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Asad is better than Farhat...

 

[NJamal]

Wicket Maiden. 26/1 after 8 overs

 

[jasimisbest2]

pakistan players struggling to play this black wind!

 

[Amoeba]

Kameez still has it. Droning on about something or other about why couldn't they bat like this in the slogfests............next a wicket. Well done Kameez!

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/26 | 8 Overs | Hafeez 4*(9), Younis 0* (3), Asad 19 (34),

Wicket maiden!

 

[chui_kadoo]

I guess we will be trying another opener next game

 

[shaykh1985]

Lol Younis and Hafeez at the crease the SR for this partnership will be interesting...

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Asad should not be dropped from the XI.... He is much better talent than Farhat and Shahzaib..

 

[chui_kadoo]

Asad is better than Farhat...

Asad is wasted at the top of the order.

 

[Amoeba]

I think that Kameez has been watching too much Bloomberg.............talking about exercising his option..................

 

[NJamal]

1 to Hafeez

 

[ZAK]

Single to Hafeez.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Definitly Asad should not play as an opener. That ploy failed big time. So many edges in that innings

He is not going to be Saeed Anwar the very first time. Needs a few more goes as an opener in international cricket because we can judge if he is made to be an opener or not.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Infact Hafeez has only got 4 runs. Im sure someone on here said that he got 2 prior to that

 

[Amoeba]

Junior Rajas! OMG I hope they haven't been listening to dad otherwise they will have learnt nothing about cricket.!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I guess we will be trying another opener next game

But it should be from the current playing eleven... Shafiq should not be dropped..

 

[carbon11]

absolute shocking batting

this is a flat track with 35 degrees celsius temperature everything against the bowlers

and this asad and hafeez are playing so cautious, on flat pitch, if these idiots can't play on flat tracks what hope is there


this is a 350 pitch , if we don't get 300 , forget it

 

[jasimisbest2]

younis not looking comfortable batting....

 

[Eht]

Hafeez needs to score some quick runs to relax younas khan

 

[ZAK]

27/1 after 9 overs.

 

[alishahid]

who is this guy in the commentary box!! sounds like a pakistani! man that guy has an annoying voice and his facts are just not right

 

[infinite786]

27-1 | 9 overs

 

[shaykh1985]

Infact Hafeez has only got 4 runs. Im sure someone on here said that he got 2 prior to that

My mistake...

 

[NJamal]

27/1 after 9 overs

 

[chui_kadoo]

He is not going to be Saeed Anwar the very first time. Needs a few more goes as an opener in international cricket because we can judge if he is made to be an opener or not.

The point is that hes not a natural opener. Fair enough give him a couple of more games as an opener. But If he fails again then that should be it. He is far more accomplished in the middle order

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/27 | 9 Overs | Hafeez 5*(12), Younis 0* (6), Asad 19 (34)

1 off the over!

 

[shaykh1985]

who is this guy in the commentary box!! sounds like a pakistani! man that guy has an annoying voice and his facts are just not right

Mohammad Akram...

 

[cric]

million dollar question

With this batting line up
hafeez
yunus
misbah
alam

will pakistan ever pass the run rate over 3 in this series while they are batting?

 

[chui_kadoo]

But it should be from the current playing eleven... Shafiq should not be dropped..

Hes better in the middle order

 

[Amoeba]

Lol Younis and Hafeez at the crease the SR for this partnership will be "interesting"...

Interesting in the same way that Steve Davis was interesting..................I'd rather count the sand grains in the desert.................

 

[Maula Jutt]

3 runs per over in PP! )

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Hope that PCB doesnt drop him in favour of experienced opener farhat in the next game. I think for Shafiq to play he has to play as an opener or they can send the No. 3 younis khan to open and shafiq can come at no. 3.

 

[Maula Jutt]

The point is that hes not a natural opener. Fair enough give him a couple of more games as an opener. But If he fails again then that should be it. He is far more accomplished in the middle order

Yeah I'd say keep him as an opener during this ODI series. If he doesn't work out, then move him down the order.

 

[shaykh1985]

Hafeez starting to feel the pressure now...

 

[Eht]

dropped

 

[infinite786]

Haveez dropped by Kallis!

 

[alishahid]

good to watch a test match after sometime

 

[ZAK]

Kallis drops one!

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez almost gone. Good try by Kallis

 

[taq12345]

Farhat vs Hafeez?

 

[hashbb]

Thank god dropped!

 

[jasimisbest2]

pakistan are not going to win.... the first 10 overs of the game set the match.... we ar avergaing 2.8!!! pathetic...

Match lost!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Hafeez.

 

[oracleg]

Doesn't catch it but saves a certain 4.

The saffers fielding really is something

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez is so lucky. Hes got another life

 

[infinite786]

younis khan

welcome back

 

[Eht]

Shot younas

 

[shaykh1985]

Well done Younis...
