Pakistan v South Africa | 2nd ODI | Dubai | 1/11/2013 | South Africa innings

[MenInG]

210 is the target.

 

[Naheem]

tough for pak

 

[ScotRaz]

Hopefully another exciting finish, but this time Pak winning.

 

[AZulfi]

Is there any point in following this mediocre team? Batting is hopelessly inadequate

209 is not a defendable total. probably a good 50 runs shy of the par score on this wicket

The only way Pakistan can win this game is by bowling RSA out.

Pak up against it

 

[saiyan0312]

112/2 and then lost 8 wickets for 97 runs... Bowlers can hopefully pull of a miracle.

 

[truefan]

Bowling is Pak's only strength as they say.... 210 is a very good total and I see no reason why Pak should not be able to defend it,if one can not defend a 200+ total on a difficult pitch bowling second against a team low on confidence in Odis for a year now,there is no point playing 6 bowlers, most teams will defend 250 here with so called poorer bowling units,I think it will be very tough for Sa to score 210 here

 

[Executioner]

Pakistan may pull it off.

tough ask. SA won't repeat the same as the last time around.

 

[DRS]

I have some question which I would appreciate if anyone here can answer.

First, Is the pitch gonna slow down as the games moves ahead?

Second, What are the odds that due factor would make life for Pakistani bowler worse?

 

[truefan]

SA has only 5 decent batsmen,their best batsman is not playing,2 are awfully out of form for 12 months and 2 are bits and pieces players,that leaves them with 3 proper batsmen,tough ask for Proteas unless Pak choke here yet again with the ball,all Pak has to do is bowl a decent line n length,pitch will do the rest

 

[in_cutter]

SA will mow this target down.

 

[Sunny786]

SA innings about to begin

 

[Asif321]

gona be difficult for SA

 

[Naheem]

good bowl

 

[Sledger]

lol @ that clown waving to the big screen after blocking the sightscreen.

 

[Naheem]

sa off the mark

 

[Sledger]

You can play your strokes if there is a room available.

Waqar advertising his hotel empire again.

 

[Sledger]

4 free runs.

 

[WNC]

Afridi gives away free runs. Useless player.
Ingram off the mark

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Hashim Amla is coming for the next 3 ODIs.

 

[Naheem]

poor stuff

 

[Sunny786]

Misbahs face

 

[iRfaN_LA]

stupid throw.

 

[ekpakistani]

ofcourse we are defending 600 runs against an associate nation so we can afford to give 4 runs like that ..

 

[Sledger]

Yorker blocked out.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

good delivery from Irfan

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I would open the bowling with Hafeez

 

[Sledger]

Tanvir's run up seems quicker than the ball.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Smith is a busy player. Nasir needs to learn from on how to rotate strike.

 

[Sledger]

Wide given.

 

[Sledger]

Bowled him, swung back.

 

[Sunny786]

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Steve Davies at it again.

 

[starbuck]

Bowled!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

YESSS !! Come on boys !!

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan will win this, their bowling is strong enough and spin will choke out SA.

 

[smasher1980]

I would open the bowling with Hafeez

Pak dont seem to do that anymore these days. Maybe they have lost all faith in Professor

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Tanvir you beauty !!

 

[Munna]

and Ingram confirms he should be replaced next game

 

[iRfaN_LA]

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ingram is a waste of space. Missed a straight delivery bowled at medium pace.

Where is Decock?

 

[BudMarsh]

Ghost of Asif channeled there...

 

[ekpakistani]

Ingram should join our team

 

[Alien9511]

on a side note, is Umar Akmal wearing sunglasses at night ?

 

[truefan]

As expected Ingram fails yet again playing a nothing shot

 

[Naheem]

need 9 more

 

[razabbas]

 

[ammar93]

Ingram is a great player. South Africa should play him for the rest of the series.

 

[HASHAM2]

We will Welcome Ingram in our Team
Pakistani Type Batsman

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Ingram looked really nervous. It was coming.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ingram is a great player. South Africa should play him for the rest of the series.

He will look like Gilchrist when he faces our trundlers soon.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Ingram is a waste of space. Missed a straight delivery bowled at medium pace.

Where is Decock?

Ball came in a little. But Ingram looks completely out of form.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

C'mon boys we need one more. One more

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Good over from Tanvir. Well done boy

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Irfan will get smith. iA

 

[ekpakistani]

We will Welcome Ingram in our Team
Pakistani Type Batsman

Ingram's avg is better than most of our batsmen and his nervousness will be a welcome attribute

 

[HASHAM2]

Irfan Strike Plez

 

[Sledger]

Big hearts.

 

[razabbas]

Tanvir na wicket la lee wahab na 2 six mar diya junaid out for 3 matches more

 

[Master Blaster]

First one bites the dust.

Just a bit of pressure and the Saffies are a nervous wreck.

Should be all over for them at the first sight of a spinner.

 

[Sledger]

It's 10/1, par second innings score is 219.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Smith is the danger man here. Need his wicket quick

 

[cricwiz]

Whatmore seems ANGRY !!!

 

[Sledger]

144ks.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

why is Misbah not using Hafeez for left handers?

 

[Sledger]

Dive..

 

[razabbas]

we scored 8 runs in 6 overs and they have scored 17 runs in 3 overs

 

[PakGirl!]

9 off the over

 

[Sledger]

Very poor ball, four.

 

[Naheem]

:4

 

[iRfaN_LA]

poor bowling.

 

[ammar93]

Those were some bad deliveries man.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

we will need to turn to spin quickly.

 

[Pak_Lover]

We need quick wickets and Hafeez will be a good option to bowl to lefties.

 

[razabbas]

tanvir the trunduler

 

[Pak_legend]

It took them 3 overs to get to the same position we were last match, but it had took us 10 overs...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

trundling bowling. Bring on spin.

 

[ekpakistani]

Duminy is made to look like bradman .. that is just not on

 

[cricwiz]

whats there inside Hafeez's palm (probably left hand)? seems a strange kind of plaster?

 

[Pak_Lover]

good change.. hafeez on

 

[Master Blaster]

Couple of lucky hits by Saff bats.

They'll be strangled once spinners are introduced.
