Pakistan v South Africa | 1st T20 | Abu Dhabi | 26/10/10 | Pakistan Innings

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

good innings by hafeez

*facepalm*

 

[Desi]

finally

 

[oracleg]

Our batting sometimes is a sorry state of affairs. Just a hint of swing and now the batsmen are struggling to put bat on ball.

 

[cricmylife]

 

[NJamal]

3/3 of the Walking Wickets

 

[nads_rocks]

Another pathetic shot another wicket down, we should all be used to this by now...

 

[t_kaay]

good.....wasters out of the way......now bring on the proper players

 

[anakwalajinn]

wow. fielding practice. the ground is big but he hits it STRAIGHT to the fielder

 

[don1990]

another domestic bully

 

[Seen Sheen]

I can't see any improvement in Umar Akmal's technique,still committing on out swinger and poking his bat!!

 

[aqeelPK]

I blame afridi for this disastrous start. Poor poor team selection.

 

[insaftak]

Mohammad Hafeez Gone.

what a pathetic lineup this.

 

[midaz]

Hafeez gone. These guys are jokers

 

[chui_kadoo]

we got 3 walking wickets im afraid. Farhat, Shazeib and Hafeez

 

[saj001]

Boom Boom in

 

[shaykh1985]

Afridi loves Botha...

 

[imshally81]

afridi in

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Boom Boom Afridi walks in

 

[TigerJat]

another one bites the dust

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

LALA in ahead of Misbah

 

[iRfaN_LA]

It was expected ...Hafeez n Farhat are crap T20 players. Shahzaib is a clown. We are screwed.

 

[NJamal]

Boom Boom Time now

 

[Desi]

Capttunnn

 

[chui_kadoo]

good innings by hafeez

*facepalm*

U call that good. 13 off 17. U must have low expecattions

 

[MrPakistan786]

46-3 boomboom at the crease

 

[akbarc1]

Afridi in

 

[DW44]

Imran Nazir is class T20 player and has a much better technique.

Better technique than Shahzeb, yes but then again, my Kazakhstani flatmate who doesn't know what cricket is could claim to have better technique than SH and he'd probably be right. As for Nazir being class, first and foremost, there's no such thing as class in T20 and in any case, Nazir hasn't exactly set the world on fire either. An average of 23 at a mid-130s strike rate is thoroughly mediocre, not 'class' by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[imshally81]

i think 155 + is enough for today

 

[akbarc1]

Akmal nearly caught behind

 

[NJamal]

Dropped

 

[nads_rocks]

Wow Afridi comes up the order and did not hide himself, lets see if he can pull through and stay till the end or atleast till Razzaq comes in

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Akmal lucky to survive

 

[chui_kadoo]

Umar Akmal dropped

 

[shaykh1985]

Ooooh dropped...

 

[saeed-sohail]

Afridi needs to bat in top 3 in this format.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Two boom booms at the crease together.

 

[IAJ]

The second sifarshi is gone too

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They cant even rotate the strike

 

[NJamal]

1 to umar

 

[Inswinger]

These 2 need to bat for at least another 7 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

 

[iZeeshan]

Bad idea.

Game on the line here, with our two best batsmen at the crease

Make or break for Pakistan.

We'll either be 146-3 in 8 overs or 56-5 in 2 overs.

 

[saj001]

sixerr

 

[akbarc1]

What a shot!!!

 

[imshally81]

 

[Maula Jutt]

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

better than Hafeez, Farhat and Shazeib put together . For T20 an average of 25 is very good at 130 strike rate.

 

[WNC]

Afridi in no mood to hang about

 

[NJamal]

Afridi looks angry

 

[Inswinger]

I hate these broadcasts by desi channels. You can;t even enjoy a good shot because of the ads....
