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

[chuck]

Nothing in the pitch. It is not doing much after initial 4-5 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

will playing 8 bowlers benefit Pakistan?

 

[96NotOut]

This has got to be some type of record, I mean even seeing PAK 70/6 is unusual...

 

[Kianig89]

Shehzad Nasir Akmal MAqsood Haris Hafeez Afridi Azam Ajmal Junaid Irfan that should be our T20 side

 

[Red Devil]

Tanvir

 

[CrowingRooster]

Aaand he's gone!

 

[dirk diggler]

a good old fashioned paindoo dismaissal

 

[steelo green]

So should UA be higher in the order or what?

 

[t_kaay]

another one down.

 

[Sledger]

The great allrounder.

 

[mosh101]

LOL man what a joke

 

[Asif321]

de kock doing well today

 

[Haroon786]

 

[Nuekboi]

Idiot Tannu what was that

 

[CrowingRooster]

Wide given

 

[chuck]

Kukri gone - lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs not coming

 

[Naheem]

kukri :

 

[saiyan0312]

tanvir gone for all rounder.

 

[96NotOut]

Make that 72/7.

 

[Kianig89]

too much dead wood Malik Razzaq tanvir and with hafeez n afridi out of form

 

[battler]

ttf tanvir out!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Again stumped off a wide. lazy from tanvir

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[JibranAnsari]

kukris goes too

 

[Robbie]

This is the world's most pathetic T20 pitch. I hope this is the last T20 in UAE.

 

[KB-24]

Why are Tanvir & Rehman in the team ??? Jamshed & Junaid should be playing for crying out loud !!

 

[saadsahabjee]

Sohail tanvir to meet bill gates and assist him in making new OS.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Shane Tahir rampaging out in the middle

He seems to be a much improved bowler.

 

[Indiafan]

So should UA be higher in the order or what?

Difficult to say, it's not like he survived against Steyn many balls. He had the luxury of facing McLaren for most of his innings

 

[Nuekboi]

2 overs of Steyn incoming. Our boys are dead under 100 lolz

 

[Haroon786]

This is just a Joke.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Rehman in

 

[Kianig89]

The HEN Departs

 

[96NotOut]

I'm betting on Irfan... He's going to score big people!

 

[saiyan0312]

Rehman to bat., will half of these bowlers even bowl.

 

[imranraf]

Another all rounder in.

 

[mosh101]

Hafeez - What a great kaptaaan !

 

[GreenTigers]

Imran Tahir again is SA hero... what a shame...

I wondering if pak can even make 100

 

[Justcrazy]

72 / 7

 

[CrowingRooster]

74-7 after 16

 

[96NotOut]

Shane Tahir rampaging out in the middle

He seems to be a much improved bowler.

No, he's just bowling against PAK batters.

 

[chuck]

4 overs to go. Can we make 100?

 

[mithun_minhas]

This is the world's most pathetic T20 pitch. I hope this is the last T20 in UAE.

There is a little bit of something for everyone. I say its a beautiful pitch.

Pak batsmen again made it look like a minefield.

 

[t_kaay]

the big question i keep asking myself........why oh why do i put myself through this, season after season??????

 

[Nuekboi]

Really terrible batting by everyone in the top 6 except UA so far.

 

[Kianig89]

Lol what a through beating this will be open the bowling with Razzaq n Malik let them bowl 4 overs each if SA allows them

 

[Haroon786]

This is the world's most pathetic T20 pitch. I hope this is the last T20 in UAE.

India would easily get 180-200 on this pitch.

 

[imranraf]

Akmal should go for shots on every single bowl from now till he is out. No point trying to survive for four more overs. We would be bundled out for under 100 and lose by 8 wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

75 / 7

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez made the wrong move by throwing the best batsman against the new ball :sohaib

 

[Haroon786]

Really terrible batting by everyone in the top 6 except UA so far.

No top 6 left.

 

[mosh101]

Not sure if I can term some of these guys as 'cricketers'

 

[Nuekboi]

Akmal stop giving strike to tailender on the first ball

 

[Haroon786]

Rehman actually looks good batting.

 

[Lords]

Cricket is gonna die in UAE. These kind of matches dont help at all.
I would rather have a flatter pitch and make it 150+ match. In high scoring matches both the sides enjoy at least one innings of the game.

 

[Naheem]

The HEN Departs

good one )

 

[OmaIR1]

can we make a 100?

 

[t_kaay]

umar has 18 balls to get 40/45 runs

 

[imranraf]

This was a 140 pitch. So, we might be 50 or odd runs short on this inning.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pak wiill be lucky to reach 100 here.

Missing Misbah dearly out there. He would have ensured Pak would reach 120 at least.

 

[96NotOut]

Which genius said that M. Hafeez was a good captain who gave chances to youngsters?

 

[Justcrazy]

79 / 7 after 17

 

[Haroon786]

Lol Rehman vs Steyn now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Steyn on.

 

[Nuekboi]

How will bowlers defend <100 score against Amla, AB, Faf, Miller, and Duminy?

 

[KB-24]

Give me one good reason why Umar shouldn't be batting in the top order in both ODIs and T20s ??? And I hope the days of sending Afridi up the order are over, he looks like a tailender out there.

 

[Haroon786]

That was wide.

 

[steelo green]

Give me one good reason why Umar shouldn't be batting in the top order in both ODIs and T20s ??? And I hope the days of sending Afridi up the order are over, he looks like a tailender out there.

Honestly.

 

[Naheem]

shot balls )

 

[chuck]

2 overs to go, 18 shy of 100.

 

[NeVerMind]

Bring back Farhat so he can put Steyn in his place!

 

[Justcrazy]

82 / 7

12 balls left

 

[saiyan0312]

last two overs... attack

 

[CrowingRooster]

Four

 

[mithun_minhas]

The match was over before it began.

 

[96NotOut]

I think our batsmen have got their formats mixed up...

 

[steelo green]

At least one person came to play.

 

[Naheem]

:4

 

[Nuekboi]

Its pathetic how none of the batsman have any idea how to negotiate the short delivery.

Sometimes I ask myself why I bother watching, I have an essay to write...
