[Kianig89]

43 after 12

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan must reach 100 by 22nd over. One bowler has to receive some phaintee. Better be tahir without wickets.

 

[imshally81]

Edged n :4

 

[starbuck]

Edge and four

 

[mosh101]

Edge and four

 

[Sledger]

Nicely edged for four.

 

[Naheem]

[Kianig89]

edged n 4

 

[OmaIR1]

convincing

 

[Munna]

Honestly, the SA commentators have been pathetic in their one sidedness.

Brian is certainly one of the better commies going around these days!

 

[imshally81]

I am cricket watcher , and This has been the way pakistan bat , you can see required rate climbing .

We will manage it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Calssily edged away for a :4

 

[mosh101]

Hafeez ki kya gloves ki dukaan hai?

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez nearing a 20 here

 

[imshally81]

Nicely edged for four.

Lol

 

[OmaIR1]

typical pakistan batsmen mentality... i've got a boundary... job done for the over smh

 

[JibranAnsari]

Comming the streak of dots

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Morkel getting extra bounce.

 

[imranq]

How many times will Hafeez change his gloves ? 3,4 5 ?

 

[SOSami]

Fine tickle down for 4. Well played.

Shame on you all for calling that an edge.

 

[Kianig89]

Curr. RR closing on 4

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez ki kya gloves ki dukaan hai?

Styn k waja sey Paseena bohat a raha tha

 

[owais1]

one boundary and 4 dots.

 

[imshally81]

Well Left

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

47/0

 

[JibranAnsari]

4 first delivery and then dots.

 

[Nuekboi]

Pakistan will want to make sure that RRR doesn't get past 6.5

 

[Kianig89]

do not allow the RRR jump above 6 before the 35th over

 

[SOSami]

I think one of these guys should retire out now. At least give South Africa a chance.

 

[steelo green]

Shehzad at least plays with intent, Half Feez plays like a tail ender

 

[mosh101]

Itna tuk tuk kar kay agar ye dono out hogaye toh phir mainay toh goli maar deni hai inhein

 

[JibranAnsari]

Ruined the whole over.

 

[mr-k]

to negative approach leaving a wide ball which is there to hit grrr

 

[Kianig89]

47 after 13 Wasti type batting

 

[Sledger]

47/0, they aren't doing badly - keep the ReqRR under 7 and keep wickets in hand.

 

[imshally81]

 

[imranraf]

These guys need to start rotating the strike. They are letting the required RR climb too much. Keep rotating.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rrr rises to 5.94. Two more dots will make it 6.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor cricket from Pakistan!

Boundary early in over and then 5 dot balls, ffs rotate the strike!

 

[Sledger]

Wide. SA worried now, choke looks to be on.

 

[OmaIR1]

don't worry guys we have afridi to save us

 

[Kianig89]

will tahir bowl now no its Mclaren

 

[imshally81]

Good Batting...... According to the Pakistan Standards..

 

[shanali]

Should have been a single

 

[Munna]

This is a boring start by Pakistani standards

 

[Asif321]

this match is gone off SA hands

 

[imshally81]

Wide. SA worried now, choke looks to be on.

agreed :umarakmal

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both batsmen have got usual starts so expect both to throw away there wickets away very soon...

 

[imranq]

Mclaren looks like an aunty running in to bowl

 

[Kianig89]

Lol @ crowd

 

[Sledger]

49/0 now.

 

[imshally81]

50 up

 

[mosh101]

50 up

 

[Nuekboi]

Good opening stand. Gotta keep it going

 

[Sledger]

50 stand.

 

[starbuck]

Good partnership, need to keep this up

 

[imshally81]

will tahir bowl now no its Mclaren

Actually Tahir is scared and hiding

 

[saeedhk]

50.

 

[coy0607]

hafeez is literally scared to make contact with the ball- sooo many leaves

 

[Sledger]

No replay of the last game pls. :umarakmal

 

[Munna]

This is where we exactly lost the plot in the last match.

These two need to push on now

 

[Indiafan]

Meanwhile RRR touches 6

 

[imranraf]

50 up. Let's hope, our openers don't start thinking we have done our job.

 

[Kianig89]

50 up a laborious effort but will take it with both hands

 

[OmaIR1]

is teh crowd even awake?

 

[imshally81]

Swing is away...

 

[Sledger]

Very poor shot. Got away with it.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

51/0

 

[Kianig89]

oohhh

 

[Nuekboi]

RRR at exactly 6 now

 

[JibranAnsari]

50 stand again..will we self combust again?

 

[saeedhk]

RRR 6 now.

 

[Kianig89]

is teh crowd even awake?

they are jumping in the isles

 

[waqar goraya]

It is important now that these 2 keep their eyes on the run rate too and rotate strike more efficiently.

But I am not too optimistic about current situation unless Shehzad goes till the end or Sohaib plays a gem on debut.

Misbah and Asad are still to come and required run rate is almost 6 now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rrr 6.

I want to see misbahs face.

 

[OmaIR1]

cool as a cucumber is hafeez... cementing his place

 

[imshally81]

RRR 6 now.

Wickets in the hand... is the key

 

[Kianig89]

match still in balance

 

[shanali]

The beautiful back foot square drives need to find the gaps

 

[OmaIR1]

they are jumping in the isles

probably jumping around like a bunch of wild animals ready to let loose on these 2 for playing so slow
