[MRSN]

akram

Hafiz & Veeru ....woww....both playing really well

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kallis on so its a double change.

 

[IMMY69]

I'd play taufeeq as opener in odi's then farthead!!!

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Kallis TAKLAA

That describes almost the entire team. Barring the Morkels(who too have a bit of teensy hair problem)

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A will try and dry the runs up here and then wait for pakistan batsmen to make a mistake.

 

[talha3]

run rate will definitely fall. runs were coming freely against morne and steyn. but its important they keep their wickets.

 

[Atif]

Openers need to rotate the strike and not go into a shell...

 

[Atif]

Consecutive maidens for SA

 

[imshally81]

Good sensible batting from pakistan

 

[1137moiz]

I'd play taufeeq as opener I'd odi's then farthead!!!

Taufeeq in his last ten one-days (his last was in 2005)

176 runs at 19.56 average and 50 strike rate

NO - then the selectors will have an excuse to drop him...

Thats what happened all those years ago....

He failed in ODIs so they dropped him from TESTS....

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

is that Zoni in the black tshirt
same haircut and skinny guy...

 

[NJamal]

Harris has a funny action

 

[Amjid Javed]

Taufeeq should be no where near the ODI side IMMY! thats how he started to lose it as a player last time!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Umar.

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 for Hafeez, glad kallis had to chase that )

 

[Seen Sheen]

Poor running..should've come back for the third..

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Taufeeq Umar wasted his time in ICL. He could have been a regular had he stayed in domestics and fought for his place.

[Arsh_afridi]

A comment from Cricinfo:

Hamza: "And to think Imran Farhat played ahead of these two for 11 Test matches last season. Not saying Umar and Hafeez are going to make centuries, but you can see the difference in the shot making and techniques. And the Mohammed Hafeez pull shot! I have been a fan since I saw him play in a domestic game 3 years ago!! He deserves his place on the basis of that shot only! I could watch again and again and again."

 

[NJamal]

2 to Taufeeq

 

[ZAK]

2 to Umar.

 

[Poison]

Hafeez has now entered the dangerous 40s

 

[Amjid Javed]

Taufeeq missed out there on the pull!

 

[NJamal]

[Batman]

Pakistan | 0/75 | 15 Overs | Trail by 305 runs
