Pakistan v South Africa | 1st ODI | Sharjah | 30-10-2013 | South Africa innings

[Shayan]

Match starts in just under an hour, I think Pakistan should feel pretty confident going into this after the Test series, and also due to the way they competed in the ODIs in South Africa.

 

[Mamoon]

Lets do it boys

 

[Hawkeye]

First series victory against SA will come under Misbah inshAllah

Too bad Afridi spoiled the party and our hopes in that decider ODI played in SA.

Won't happen this time

 

[saiyan0312]

Cmon shezad and jamsheed. All eyes on you both.

 

[shehzi]

dont think Asad will be dropped because of his century in test and Umar amin might miss

 

[Wattoo]

team news?

 

[Batman]

Let's see what pitch we gonna get in this First ODI.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on boys.

Big toss to win.

Hopefully we bat first.

Any team news?

 

[Batman]

^If we bat first another 99 on the cards

 

[London_Lahori]

Come on Pakistan!!!

 

[London_Lahori]

 

[Asif321]

SA batting first

 

[Mamoon]

Please appoint a captain who is capable of winning the toss

 

[Wattoo]

Toss: SA have won the toss and they are batting first.

 

[Carlito]

Thank ALLAH ....amla isn't playing!

 

[MRSN]

Misbah loses another toss

 

[Carlito]

[Batman]

South Africa won the toss and Bat First

 

[MRSN]

[Mamoon]

Philtrundler will not be trundling tonight

 

[Wattoo]

Please appoint a captain who is capable of winning the toss

Ist test Misbah lost toss Pak won match
2nd test Misbah won test Pak lost the match

Samjha karo yarrrrrr

 

[London_Lahori]

Ok get AB out early and you win the game.

 

[Batman]

Misbah lost another toss

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah looks devastated with losing the toss.

 

[London_Lahori]

Anything in the surface and Pakistan will have use of it with the quickies first up

 

[Mobashir]

First series victory against SA will come under Misbah inshAllah

Too bad Afridi spoiled the party and our hopes in that decider ODI played in SA.

Won't happen this time

If you knew a litle bit about cricket, and if you had a TV then, you would know that Younis Khan's drop catch of centurion AB De Villiers cost us the match.

 

[London_Lahori]

Misbah looks devastated with losing the toss.

Just like the first test

 

[Moh@n]

Please appoint a captain who is capable of winning the toss

Wow. So not winning the toss is the captain's fault.

Seriously what's wrong with people here?

 

[Asif321]

Umar Amin in and Umar Akmal playing as keeper , 3 seamers in side

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jamshed, Shehzad, Hafeez, Misbah, Amin, Akmal(wk), Afridi, Tanvir, Ajmal, Irfan & Khan

 

[Bullet Drive]

No Shafiq !!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

Well they are batting first so we are chasing. Imran tahir will play.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Better side than I expected to be honest, though batting order could use work

 

[saiyan0312]

shafiq is out and umar and umar are playing.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Would take out one seamer and swap him for Maqsood.

 

[Mamoon]

Just like the first test

Face red with anger

 

[Bullet Drive]

Better side than I expected to be honest, though batting order could use work

What did you expect?

 

[Mobashir]

Good news: Umar Akmal and Umar Amin playing.
Bad news: Mohammad Hafeez is still playing.

 

[Carlito]

oh no tanvir is back

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good news: Umar Akmal and Umar Amin playing.
Bad news: Mohammad Hafeez is still playing.

Hafeez will do good with the ball.

Smith, Ingram, Duminy, Miller, Parnell all lefties in SA.

 

[Mamoon]

Wow. So not winning the toss is the captain's fault.

Seriously what's wrong with people here?

Yes, I'm sick of blaming luck for it. Its getting beyond ridiculous now.

Re: Pakistan v South Africa | 1st ODI | Sharjah | 30-10-2013

Good news: Umar Akmal and Umar Amin playing.
Bad news: Mohammad Hafeez is still playing.

Useless test player but vital side of the ODI side and most valuable T20 player.

 

[Pak_Lover]

No Sohaib Maqsood ??? I wanted to see him today but nevertheless best of luck to Pakistan Team.

 

[Carlito]

Yes, I'm sick of blaming luck for it. Its getting beyond ridiculous now.

what else is it if not luck? a curse maybe?

 

[Mamoon]

If Shehzad fails like usual for the first 2 games, Maqsood should replace him with Hafeez opening.

 

[Osman]

sohail tanvir

how does this garbage player that continuously is smashed all over the place get selected????

 

[Wattoo]

What is SA team ???

 

[Bullet Drive]

No Junaid Khan.

 

[saiyan0312]

three seamers are. Irfan,tanvir,wahab.,... I am shocked that tanvir got to play over junaid.

 

[Asif321]

NO JUNAID KHAN

 

[Mamoon]

what else is it if not luck? a curse maybe?

I don't know, you tell me.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wahab to take 2-40 today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good that Junaid is rested.

 

[London_Lahori]

Sad Maqsood is not playing. Could have been the added X factor in the middle

 

[Mamoon]

Wahab to take 2-40 today.

How many will Ahmed "world class" Shehzad score?

 

[Carlito]

junaid khan being pawned by the dav lol

 

[shehzi]

Junaid OUT.... Sohail IN ???

 

[shah_1]

Good to see no Asad Shafiq in ODIs

 

[Wattoo]

Whay no Junaid Khan???

 

[Sherlock]

Hafeez is decent in ODI, besides Steyn isn't playing

 

[Osman]

has junaid khan been dropped?????

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tanvir is a uselss bowler. Hate seeing him play for PAK. Rubbish.

 

[saiyan0312]

guys dont worry Tanvir will do great... His great record in 2012 says so... avg 45 with a Sr of 54 and remaining wicketless in three out of 6 innings is an amazing feat.

 

[Hawkeye]

WOW! Great lineup BIG chance for Umar and Umar to show the world their class.
BIG test for openers as well.

Though I would have preferred Sohaib Maqsood / Asad Shafiq over tanvir.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is a poor ODI batsman. Don't forget that. He only does well vs minnows.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar Akmal will come in today needing around 10 an over. Will get out and then people will label it a poor shot

 

[Carlito]

How many will Ahmed "world class" Shehzad score?

hes young so they need to give the guy time no point being sarcastic .....id rather play him than the seniors except

 

[Osman]

why does junaid play one game then not the next etc? This resting stuff is BS....he is not a senior that needs a break? pathetic...needs to be playing as much as possible

 

[Hawkeye]

I don't mind Junaid being rested. Good for him and tactical decision.

Will come in handy in later matches.

 

[saiyan0312]

Batsmen must click today... i have no hopes from afridi,wahab and tanvir. That just leaves us with ajmal,hafeez and irfan. oh boy.

 

[Haroon786]

Can't believe that JK is not in ?

 

[aukhan]

Good news: Umar Akmal and Umar Amin playing.
Bad news: Mohammad Hafeez is still playing.

Bad news is afridi(liability) still playing.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Wahab, Tanvir and Irfan are our pacers. Two of them are retarded. NO JUNAID!!! That's it game, set and match to South Africa and it hasn't even started yet.

What is the thinking behind this pathetic selection? Who in the world would prefer Wahab and Tanvir over Junaid. That's like getting Rahat Ali to open the batting! Sometimes you wonder if these guys even know anything about cricket.

 

[Mamoon]

Umar Akmal will come in today needing around 10 an over. Will get out and then people will label it a poor shot

If he gets out that is his weakness. Shows his inability to finish games.

 

[London_Lahori]

What ever happened to Tavir's batting? I remember Warne promoting him to number 3 in the first IPL

 

[Wattoo]

Juanid >>> Wahab & Tanvir

Why is he not selected?

 

[Haroon786]

2 bowlers short aswell.

 

[Ahson8]

Tanvir ahead of Junaid. Wow.

 

[Mamoon]

hes young so they need to give the guy time no point being sarcastic .....id rather play him than the seniors except

He's a tried and tested failure in ODIs.

 

[London_Lahori]

How many will Ahmed "world class" Shehzad score?

35 in 51 balls
