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

[Aman]

Toss in 30 minutes.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets hope Pakistans batsmen show up for the 1st time in this series, Have to say our batsmen have been pathetic to say the least in ODIs for a long time now! Time for some of them to prove they can perform at this level.

 

[Kianig89]

toss is key and Pakistan dont have quality batsmen now to chase targets and says we are missing and amin etal are not ready for this level they are under pressure and have to play for their spots selectors should give them confidence and we rely on toss, Prof. has not done anything as an opener and he is not doing justice and if he is in the team then he should bat at no. 7 and the golden statement that he is minnow basher as he average 40+ against minnows spot on Waqar

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar talking sense here

 

[Kianig89]

My XI for this game

Shehzad Nasir Asad Misbah Akmal Maqsood Hafeez Afridi Ajmal Irfan Junaid

 

[Kianig89]

Irfan talking here saying bowling to lefties is easy for him

 

[Asif321]

Waqar : either dont play Hafeez at all or play him at No.7

 

[SuperMAG77]

My 11:

Shehzad
Afridi
Amin
Shafiq
Akmal (wk)
Misbah
Maqsood
Hafeez
Ajmal
Junaid
Irfan

 

[Aman]

@title

Misbah ain't winning the toss _old

 

[Kianig89]

Kepler on pitch says toss is crucial as pitch is dry assitance for spin

 

[Kianig89]

too much breaks on SD

 

[Steyn_Remover]

De Kock to score huge today ..he is 20 and will oneday be a monster . He will be South Africas version of Shewag just better and its Exactly what our odi team needs

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar : either dont play Hafeez at all or play him at No.7

yes a gem from Waqar 's massacre against australia being shown on TEn what an innings and sachin walked on the appeal although the umpire didn't gave out a true legend he is

 

[saiyan0312]

Toss lost and they will bat first... We are doomed!!!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Toss SA wins the toss and bats first

 

[mosh101]

South Africa batting again !

Series goes to saffers

 

[DanishJamil]

Misbah loosing toss again

 

[mosh101]

Great to see waqar bashing hafeez !

 

[Asif321]

Maqsood to debut , Junaid also IN
Amin and Wahab out

 

[mosh101]

Sohaib In Amin Out
Junaid In Wahab Out !

Alhamdulillah

 

[DanishJamil]

Maqsood in, Amin out

Junaid in, Wahab out

 

[Kianig89]

same team for SA while Pak Maqsood n Junaid in as expected

 

[mosh101]

Misbah is a angry man gggrrrr

 

[saiyan0312]

So what is the safe total. 140

 

[Imran_m]

When was the last time Misbah won the toss

I think he should practise on his tossing skills more often than his Tuk Tuk skills

 

[Kianig89]

good changes come on boyss

 

[saiyan0312]

Yes finally avg 66 is thrown out.

 

[saiyan0312]

Lets win this boys.

 

[Lords]

Can someone calculate the probability of losing that many tosses provided with the recent sample. Seems like misbah is all the way down in improbability zone.

Or may be some one can check the coin, it may have two same sides.

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah his luck is very bad losses most of the toss should visit a fortune teller

 

[Imran_m]

So what is the safe total. 140

Anything under 100 is chaseable

100-150 would be a exciting chase

150+ I reckon too big a ask

 

[Kianig89]

Will Maqsood play at 3

 

[mosh101]

I hope maqsood Makes a case for himself today !

 

[Kianig89]

Need a fifer from a pacer or

 

[Extreme Pace]

Poor team selection again, going in with 6 bowlers when batting has been the main problem. Should have dropped Tanvir and picked a batsman in his place or even a legit wicket keeper.

 

[Red Devil]

Maqsood in, Amin out

Junaid in, Wahab out

Perfect

 

[imshally81]

our Batting is very weak

 

[London_Lahori]

Best possible 11 are playing today

U right bro it's just crazy

 

[steelo green]

Did we lose the toss again...

 

[EarthBoltX]

These were the changes most of the posters here wanted.

... I see complaints already.

 

[imshally81]

6 regular bowlers again

 

[Kianig89]

:sethi is also in Abu Dhabi so the boys might try hard today i'd say for SA ODI's please select a right arm fast bowler like alot of lefties there already because in SA its early summer and the pitches will not aid spin

 

[Imran_m]

6 regular bowlers again

Be grateful with such geniuses at the helm it wouldn't have surprised me if they took out Asad Shafique and brought in Junaid for him.

 

[steelo green]

Good squad. Can't really complain much. This is going to be a big total to chase though and I don't see how we do it.

 

[shanali]

This will be a true test for Maqsood, even though our batting has been terrible, it has been extremely difficult to bat second. Maqsood will practically open as I predict Hafeez getting out to Steyn within first 3 overs so let us see him prove his mettle.

 

[steelo green]

Be grateful with such geniuses at the helm it wouldn't have surprised me if they took out Asad Shafique and brought in Junaid for him.

What has Shafiq done in ODIs?

 

[maddgenius]

So excited to see maqsood in the line up finally

 

[steelo green]

If Maqsood doesn't perform today I hope people don't jump on him and call him a failure. It's his first ODI.

 

[Munna]

On 7 out of 15 occasions, PAK have won the match in Abu Dhabi after losing the toss

 

[saeedhk]

We lost the toss again which means that there is a 95% chance we will lose the match.(Hope I'm wrong though)

 

[Extreme Pace]

These were the changes most of the posters here wanted.

... I see complaints already.

Everyone wanted them to drop the extra bowling option and get another batsman in.

 

[jattafridi]

Maqsood

First-class batting average 43.44

 

[style_guru]

If SA get anything in excess of 230, it'll be tough for Pak to chase that down.

Let's see how Ajmal and co. go about today

 

[Jo_Don]

I think he should practise on his tossing skills more often than his Tuk Tuk skills

Thanks, now I can't get that image out of my head!

 

[shanali]

Maqsood

First-class batting average 43.44

List-A batting average of 51.81 at a strike rate of 97.35

 

[Munna]

On 7 out of 15 occasions, PAK have won the match in Abu Dhabi after losing the toss

Coincidentally, Pakistan fielded first in all those 7 matches

 

[mosh101]

Im looking forward to our batting

 

[style_guru]

Irfan will look to get Amla out as soon as possible. Once he settles, it'll be difficult to dislodge him.

 

[Ims1]

my innings run prediction : 173

 

[Alamgeer]

Sarfraz should have replaced akmal. Asad needs to bat at 3.

[Kianig89]

Pitch will be slow so 240 is a match winning score but if the opposition is Pak then 220 will do

 

[style_guru]

Will Hafeez open the bowling along with Irfan?

 

[saiyan0312]

Irfan to bowl.

 

[loves_cricket]

De Kock to score huge today ..he is 20 and will oneday be a monster . He will be South Africas version of Shewag just better and its Exactly what our odi team needs[/QUOTE
Wow new kid is already better then Shehwag. must have started watching cricket recently.
Lets wait & see

 

[saiyan0312]

Irfan vs amla.

 

[Kianig89]

Irfan get a 5fer mate

 

[saiyan0312]

full and we must get amla early.

 

[Kianig89]

single taken

 

[Kianig89]

good start from SA

 

[mosh101]

Tanvir to share the new ball

 

[Kianig89]

Pak second innings score average 205

 

[saiyan0312]

sohail tanvir to bowl.

 

[mosh101]

I wouldve had junaid take the new ball

 

[mosh101]

Beauty from tanvir

 

[Munna]

Not opening with Junaid?

 

[Red Devil]

Why the hell in Junaid not bowling with the new ball?

 

[style_guru]

Tanvir must try and not leak runs

 

[Executioner]

Misbah loses the toss

Does not matter how the pitch plays make Pakistan chase because chasing is their kryptonite

Anyways, Pakistan have only 5 specialist batsman

 

[hussain.r97]

Thank god Maqsood and Junaid are playing!!! The only change that I wanted but did not occur was Tanvir out and Jamshed or Rehman in.....
