Pakistan v South Africa | 3rd ODI | Abu Dhabi | 6/11/2013 | Pakistan Innings

[HamzaSaeen]

And he goes

 

[mosh101]

Shehzad gone ! Dammit

 

[Red Devil]

Shahzad

 

[imranq]

out

 

[Asif321]

not having Jamshed at other end is helping Shahzad i guess

 

[steelo green]

Man...

 

[Sledger]

Shehzad out to Steyn.

 

[the Great Khan]

ok I was trolling orginally lol..

 

[PakGirl!]

Gone

 

[BudMarsh]

No foot movement...

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL our so called talent perishes at the first good challenge

 

[Red Devil]

Damn

 

[Justcrazy]

These two need to play with a plan now.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

What, amin batting at 3?

 

[Haroon786]

Out.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Haha, took Steyn 7 balls to ruin our start.

I hope they send in Akmal.....

 

[Sledger]

Steyn is the only one who's bowled well tonight for SA. Should have got the new ball. Exciting cameo from Shehzad.

 

[mosh101]

Why was steyn not bowling first up?

What a deadly bowler !

 

[Square Drive]

Amin walking in! Should've been Asad.

 

[Asif321]

ohh no

 

[saiyan0312]

oh come on yaar. he really looked good.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[imranq]

Time for the required run rate to go above 7

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shehzhad out once again after getting a start

 

[JibranAnsari]

Tsosbe and morkel were bowling too short and shahzad madce use of it...Shahzad has no chance against any good bowler.

 

[Sledger]

CLH finally sent up the order.

 

[Boi]

YESS CLH IN! Hope he does a good job, insha'Allah.

 

[Justcrazy]

this is the difference between Shahzad and ....... attractive 30s and 40s do not win games.

 

[Haroon786]

Amin at 3, expecting a 0(1).

 

[Square Drive]

Shehzad should've let that go.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Steyn to get a fifer before the 20th over.

 

[Red Devil]

Amin in

 

[FusedBulb]

Nothing really impressive about this opening partnership. All what was achieved was taking advantage of mistake made by Ab Devilliers of not giving the new ball to Steyn. Soon as the ball gets the slightest of movements, Shehzad loses his wicket. Had Dale started the bowling earlier, our batting would have been in traditional tatters.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Amin at 3, expecting a 0(1).

Your wish must not be granted

 

[Justcrazy]

Big test for Amin here

 

[Amjid Javed]

Amin sent in at 3, interesting move!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Is Tsotsobe in the team due to affirmative action?

I am sure SA must have a lot better bowlers than this pathetic trundler.

 

[Sledger]

Bouncer first up.

 

[coy0607]

Amin at 3 - get ready to release all momentum built by Shehzad

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Time for Amin to prove himself. He is been crap this series.

 

[Square Drive]

Amin at 3, expecting a 0(1).

Proved wrong straightaway.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hahah CLH vs Styen will be classic..bombardment of bouncers expected.

 

[mosh101]

Amin one down? Right-left hand combo time?

 

[Fahdi]

Umar Amin? Should have been Shafiq imo.

 

[the Great Khan]

umar amin at 3? hain jee?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

CLH pulls class

 

[Red Devil]

off the mark

 

[Haroon786]

2 for Amin.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Umar Amin looks positive. I like this start.

 

[JibranAnsari]

make or break match for amin!

 

[mosh101]

Time for amin to prove himself

 

[Sledger]

Pretty much agree, but it was exciting to watch. Also, this type of innings is good enough for Pakistani openers, 50 partnerships are very rare - beggars cannot be choosers.

CLH off the mark.

 

[the Great Khan]

well this is it. He's got time and a good start so no excuses now.

 

[Asif321]

shafiq should have been sent first

 

[Haroon786]

Your wish must not be granted

Just looks so vulnerable.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is a good surface , just need to keep rotating the strike.

 

[Square Drive]

Beauty!

 

[Sledger]

CLH trying to unleash his classy drive, not got his eye in yet.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Umar amin has got no more excuses

 

[Fahdi]

Good opportunity for this guy to show what he is made up of, a bit of do or die situation here for him. Youngsters dont get many chances up the order in Pakistan so when they do they must take it.

Agreed, but be honest. Even without Steyn, 50/0 from 8 overs after the 1st two ODIs? I dont care who RSA bowled, thats a great start for us (our standards are low with the bat).


Hope Amin plays a good innings, he has the talent to bat smart with time.

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL lazy shot from CLH. Almost got out. Steyn too good for him.

 

[Boi]

Hafeez is clueless

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Hafeez looking as pathetic as ever

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez is the key if pakistan are to win.

 

[Haroon786]

Hafeez struggling.

 

[Sledger]

How was this guy ever a test opener? )

Just all at sea against any ball moving away.

 

[saiyan0312]

must not lose momentum.

 

[mosh101]

Hafeez is poor with that inswing

 

[FusedBulb]

Pretty much agree, but it was exciting to watch. Also, this type of innings is good enough for Pakistani openers, 50 partnerships are very rare - beggars cannot be choosers.

CLH off the mark.

Yep, it was nice to be a witness of this rare occasion where we actually took advantage of the situation. I think this in itself is a great achievements by our current batting standards.

 

[Haroon786]

Proved wrong straightaway.

Looks vulnerable.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks out to me. But its not.

 

[Sledger]

Looks like it's hitting leg, marginal. Not out?

 

[saiyan0312]

ball moves and hafeez is losing it.

 

[London_Lahori]

Shehzad was batting beautifully. Was scoring at a high rate with no risks attached at all.

 

[steelo green]

Hafeez lol so bad

 

[imranq]

So we have been begging for Umar Akmal to be sent 1 down but they never do. Umer Amin has done nothing of relevance so far but he is already promoted up the order ?

 

[Haroon786]

Good decision by Illingworth that.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tuk Tuk has started again.

 

[Sledger]

Was missing leg.
