Pakistan v South Africa | 1st T20I | Dubai | 13th November, 2013

[Haroon786]

Ukmal has made 50% of Pakistan's total.

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal

 

[Sunny786]

Malik should be no where near the team, he's past it. Afridi should be a #8 and Umar should be batting at #3 in T20s.

I hate it when fans single out players. Everyone sucked. Not just malik. Quit whinning

 

[saiyan0312]

bowled ajmal gone... styen takes three. 99 to win for SA. cant defend this.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Ajmal with another duck

 

[cricketpassion]

Yesssss we didn't get all out

 

[Indiafan]

Steyn 15 for 3, what a performance. Now can the Pakistani bowlers stand up?

 

[dirk diggler]

why bother bringing a bat with u mr ajmal

 

[steelo green]

If Misbah scored what Umar did, everyone would say how great he is, now people are saying Umar was selfish to get his 50 lol

 

[Nuekboi]

So ,we are defending 99. Good luck to bowlers

 

[CrowingRooster]

98-9 after the 20

 

[Justcrazy]

99 is target

 

[Haroon786]

Sten in the form of his life.

 

[GreenTigers]

Now the question is can pak bowling defend 99?

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal doesn't look happy. )

 

[saiyan0312]

poor poor poor performance.

 

[CrowingRooster]

SA only need 99

 

[Indiafan]

If Misbah scored what Umar did, everyone would say how great he is, now people are saying Umar was selfish to get his 50 lol

No one is saying that

 

[96NotOut]

Not even a hundred... Man, am I proud to support Pakistan!

 

[PakGirl!]

Dissapointing display
Well played by Umar..

 

[chuck]

Honestly.

SA will probably chase this down in 15 overs with 3 wickets down

Yesssss we didn't get all out

And we didn't make 100. Everyone happy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Now the question is can pak bowling defend 99?

the answer is





































NO

 

[Haroon786]

Couldn't even make 100.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Bowlers are gonna have to bowl better than usual

 

[Lords]

why bother bringing a bat with u mr ajmal

We need a steyn meme

 

[EarthBoltX]

That's what happens when Misbah isn't in the team? o;
I can see why people want him out...

 

[imranraf]

This is not a defendable score in this pitch. We are at least 30 short on this pitch.

 

[steelo green]

Umar playing for his 50

lol

 

[Robbie]

3rd Umpire saved Pakistan from gettin all out

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nothing in the pitch , not extraordinary bowling either. We are just pathetic.

 

[shehzi]

99 to win ... should be easy victory for SA

 

[chuck]

Wait for some JK magic now - Wait he is only carrying towels.

 

[Haroon786]

lol

He could've gone for doubles but didn't and was probably justifiably circumspect against Steyn.

 

[JibranAnsari]

SA will get it under 12 over

 

[KB-24]

For the sake of Pakistan cricket please kick out Malik and Tanvir they are useless now.

 

[standardcricket]

Without Misbah, they barely survived 20 overs, whatever happened to the flair of Pakistani batting?

 

[GreenTigers]

Sten in the form of his life.

No he is bowling to the world's most pathetic batting line up that's why...I'll love to see what Dhawan, Rohit, Kholi and Co will do to him on asian pitches.

 

[Sledger]

Defendable. Going to be hard though.

 

[96NotOut]

Umar Akmal scored 49 off 41 balls.
8 other batsmen scored 43 off 79 balls.
Any words, all you UA-haters?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

125 could have been competitive.

 

[96NotOut]

Wait for some JK magic now - Wait he is only carrying towels.

And water bottles.

 

[EarthBoltX]

Umar Akmal scored 49 off 41 balls.
8 other batsmen scored 43 off 79 balls.
Any words, all you UA-haters?

I'm not really a hater, but I wish he could have done this in the ODI series when it would have meant more.

 

[Red Devil]

That's what happens when Misbah isn't in the team? o;
I can see why people want him out...

You are wrong.

Misbah stopped playing T20s ages ago.

 

[96NotOut]

125 could have been competitive.

Considering the start we got, 98 is a miracle.

 

[AZulfi]

Bus hamari nikemi batting yehi hai

Average score:

Test innings 200-220
ODI 180-210
T20 120-130

 

[KB-24]

That's what happens when Misbah isn't in the team? o;
I can see why people want him out...

more like that's what happens when you send Afridi, Hafeez himself and Malik to face the likes of Steyn ahead of proper batsman like Umar and Razzaq who is the best all-rounder in the team.

 

[Haroon786]

No he is bowling to the world's most pathetic batting line up that's why...I'll love to see what Dhawan, Rohit, Kholi and Co will do to him on asian pitches.

Dhoni hammered him in the IPL.

 

[steelo green]

Umar Akmal scored 49 off 41 balls.
8 other batsmen scored 43 off 79 balls.
Any words, all you UA-haters?

He played too fast.

 

[KB-24]

I'm not really a hater, but I wish he could have done this in the ODI series when it would have meant more.

He will if the skipper has any brains to promote Umar to #4 in ODIs.

 

[Haroon786]

If Pakistan win this, Umar will be the undisputed MOM.

 

[midaz]

JK would have been handful on this pitch

 

[96NotOut]

If Misbah scored what Umar did, everyone would say how great he is, now people are saying Umar was selfish to get his 50 lol

He didn't ACTUALLY get it. Besides, there are far too many people out there to support UA, no-one would, or is, saying that.

 

[GreenTigers]

Dhoni hammered him in the IPL.

Watching that video now... Love to see this guy (Steyn) getting hammered to death.

 

[KB-24]

Without Misbah, they barely survived 20 overs, whatever happened to the flair of Pakistani batting?

Misbah has been out of the team since Eng T20 series and Pakistan hasn't lost a series since then so he is irrelevant.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez opens the bowling but not the batting. Maybe SA will send Steyn to the the top of the order next game.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hafeez

 

[saiyan0312]

Well lets see if playing 8 bowlers pay of for hafeez.

 

[Sledger]

Dropped first ball.

 

[Haroon786]

He will if the skipper has any brains to promote Umar to #4 in ODIs.

Disagree, he came in several times with 25-30 overs to play, but yet failed. In the first ODI, he couldn't take the team home, can't blame Misbah here. Don't get me wrong here, I'm one of Umar's biggest fans.

 

[96NotOut]

If Pakistan win this, Umar will be the undisputed MOM.

Stress on the IF.
BTW, obviously yaar.

 

[Sledger]

Simple edge missed.

 

[Haroon786]

Should been out.

 

[Sledger]

Now a four.

 

[saiyan0312]

Dropped missed .. amla is let goo. now.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez blwoing )

 

[Haroon786]

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Amla is gonna make Pakistan pay now

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Maqsood fields like Inzy. Amla in a hurry. He is not fooling around :4

 

[Kianig89]

SA to chase inside 12 overs

 

[96NotOut]

Hafeez opens the bowling but not the batting. Maybe SA will send Steyn to the the top of the order next game.

)

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Bring Irfan for Amla.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Maqsood does not seem to have the quick reflexes needed to field in slip position.

He should be at 3rd man boundary.

 

[Haroon786]

Good defence by De Kock.

 

[Kianig89]

Akmal shouting too much

 

[Sledger]

Big over. 9/0.

 

[LegendInzi]

If Misbah scored what Umar did, everyone would say how great he is, now people are saying Umar was selfish to get his 50 lol

Misbah haters don't have life. Sad state of existence

 

[Kianig89]

Great first over for SA

 

[iRfaN_LA]

poor over.

 

[Haroon786]

Predicting a 9 wicket win for SA, with Ajmal getting DeKock.

 

[saiyan0312]

chasing 99 score 9 in the first over... Hafeez has 8 bowlers so bowl away.
