Pakistan v South Africa | 4th ODI | Abu Dhabi | 8/11/2013 | Pakistani Innings

[Haroon786]

Solid defence.

 

[cricket sport]

attack Steyn

 

[JibranAnsari]

Steyn starts the proceedings and Shahzad is back to his original self.

 

[London_Lahori]

Shehzad Career Average 28.51
Hafeez Career Average 28.76


)

I was just looking at that as well.

 

[Sledger]

Shehzad back to his normal style.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Steyn starting to go thru the gears interms of pace here!

 

[saiyan0312]

 

[battler]

Come on shehzad take a single.
We want to see an epic battle between sir hafeez and steyn.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

swing from Steyn.

 

[Haroon786]

Wide from Steyn.

 

[imshally81]

ready

 

[shanali]

Out

 

[SOSami]

This is the correct strategy. South Africa always choke from positions of strength. Trap is being set by these openers…

Now 3/0, need only 264 runs. Pakistan utterly unscathed in these early exchanges.

 

[Sledger]

Houston, we have a single.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Hafeez vs Steyn. Game on.

 

[Saurav]

Got a feeling Pak will chase this down

 

[battler]

Yes hafeez on strike

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez will plonk steyn today..trundler.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA bowling well.

 

[imshally81]

good shot

 

[saiyan0312]

We have a very bad habbit of not attacking at the start.

nice puch off steyn.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez wins round 1.

 

[shanali]

Hafeez wanting 3 lol

 

[Nuekboi]

Defiant push by Professor

 

[Varun]

Haha did Hafeez want the third to get off strike?

 

[shanali]

Hafeez wins round 1.

What you on about? He lost rounds 1-6

 

[JibranAnsari]

Take it steyn..2

 

[imranq]

Hafeez shying away from eye contact with steyn classic

 

[Haroon786]

Steyn vs Hafeez in commentary aswell.

 

[shanali]

Boringgggggggggg

 

[Sledger]

6/0 in three.

 

[Varun]

Hafeez is so mediocre.

 

[saiyan0312]

100 hafeez... thats what we need from you.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez shying away from eye contact with steyn classic

He Should make contact and then send the ball over long on for six.

 

[Sledger]

What you on about? He lost rounds 1-6

Different match. A true champion always come back from KOs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rrr 5.55

 

[OmaIR1]

let's build pressure and play really slow so it builds pressure then it's left for afridi to provide the big finish at the end which he does once in every 20 innings... sounds like a plan :whatmroe

 

[Haroon786]

Dislike the start.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is too big chase for SA

 

[Nuekboi]

I hope De Kock drops Professor and Professor makes a century...

 

[pak4life]

A familiar start lets hope it does not lead to a familiar ending

 

[imranq]

So if everyone, except Maqsood, scores about close to there career average we will get to 218.

Meaning we need a 50 from Sohaib Maqsood on debut.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

tight stuff from SA

 

[OmaIR1]

we r rocking the 1.75 run rate

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rrr 5.65

 

[battler]

RR climbed to 5.65

 

[JibranAnsari]

No innovation or use of feet from hafeez.

 

[shanali]

Runrate of 1.68 :AAG

 

[Amjid Javed]

Flying start here from pakistan!

 

[SOSami]

Hafeez drawing on the spirit of '92

 

[Sledger]

If you drive... probably gonna nick it.

LOL.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lovely summary

Arshad: "I dont understand the tactics employed by pakistani batsmen. The block the first 10 overs, then from 10-15 they lose the top order. Mistabh takes over and loses wickets on the other side until 35. Then comes the tailender to do some slogging."

 

[Osman]

gutless players

 

[Sledger]

You guys are already in such trouble - *points at scoreboard*

Steyn trolling.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Steyn playing mind games )

 

[shanali]

Boorrrrinngggggggg

 

[Haroon786]

So if everyone, except Maqsood, scores about close to there career average we will get to 218.

Meaning we need a 50 from Sohaib Maqsood on debut.

Do you expect Afridi to get 23 ?

 

[Osman]

cowards....no fight in these guys or will to score...beghairat

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL @ steyn

 

[shanali]

Single :AAG

 

[Justcrazy]

Again poor start

 

[OmaIR1]

whatmore and misbah must be discussing the plan in the pavilion... "we just need umar akmal and afridi to destroy south africa in the last 10 overs when we need 200 runs from 60 balls".. " the key is to keep wicket until the end"... Misbah "why didn't we think of this before?"

 

[Nuekboi]

Need to get this run rate going

 

[Haroon786]

Another single, such a rarity, should be priced at Brent oil prices.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wow a single

 

[Imran_m]

I think the plan is to play out the 50 overs and hope in the meanwhile ICC changes the rules for ODI's and award us a draw.

 

[cricket sport]

whats the plan here from batsmen?

 

[JibranAnsari]

rrr 5.71

 

[RehanG]

Wth are these 2 doing

 

[imshally81]

Steyn playing mind games )

I think M Hafeez is playing mind game

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Pakistan is doing fine. Shehzad is not blocking everything, he is playing his shots, its just good bowling.

 

[SOSami]

Steyn, get back in your hole. As you were told on twitter - you are an average bowler.

Now finish this over so Lopsy the Enforcer can bowl.

 

[imshally81]

Wth are these 2 doing

Just trying to ball older.....

 

[Osman]

gutless....absolutely pathetic and cowardly play

 

[Alamgeer]

Misbah effect Tuk Tuk while chasing big one. Misbah has completely destroyed our cricket. No hope

[shanali]

Disgusting batting lineup, we either have tuk tuks or boom boom busts. I miss Yousuf

 

[Nuekboi]

8 runs in 5 overs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Classic 1870s start

 

[Varun]

Yawn.

 

[OmaIR1]

ahmed shehzad with a destructive 4 from 17 balls... thse guys play for themselves.... he will be happy with 50 from 150 balls
