[Executioner]

The series is already decided now its a matter of whether Pakistan can salvage some pride.

Pakistan need to play smart cricket to win this match. Most of the players are well educated yet they dont seem to interpret the match situation.

 

[Aman]

Hopefully Amin in for Shafiq

 

[Asif321]

Razzaq and Malik practicing with the Team

 

[Kianig89]

Waqar wants Afridi to be rested and give Sarfraz a go as well not a bad ideae

 

[Asif321]

Waqar saying , Rehman, Jamshed and Sarfaraz should be played

 

[Kianig89]

Razzaq and Malik practicing with the Team

so called seniors

 

[Bullet Drive]

Is their a chance we can play Razzaq?

 

[LegendAli]

Is their a chance we can play Razzaq?

Highly doubt it, Razzaq was selected for the T20 squad only I believe.

 

[Ims1]

dead rubber . All players who have not taken a part in series should be given a spot in 11 .

 

[imshally81]

4-1 on card.....

 

[amjad145]

Is their a chance we can play Razzaq?

Yeah let's make him wicket keeper and drop akmal. Lol

 

[Kianig89]

Pitch report Kepler says its slow and low bat 1st wicket

 

[Ims1]

4-1 on card.....

you are so positive :

 

[Kianig89]

really sad we lost the series we were in winning position during most of the games but bottled it

 

[Bullet Drive]

I know but I remember once Yousuf was selected for tests but played in last ODI of PAK-SA series.

 

[Kianig89]

Haysman doing a very good analysis Pak players should watch it

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah please win the toss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bat first today hopefully

 

[Kianig89]

I know but I remember once Yousuf was selected for tests but played in last ODI of PAK-SA series.

Ya he did so lets rest Akmal n Afridi n play Sarfraz n Razzaq

 

[imshally81]

you are so positive :

No.. I am realistic ...

 

[Kianig89]

i hope we chase again nothing to lose today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Safraz hopefully for Shafiq.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Would be better for us to chase. If we win at least we can take positives and we can see if we learnt anything. If we lose then, big changes will be made.

Only problem is today I expect Hafeez to perform. Dead rubber.

 

[Sherlock]

SA win toss and bat first.

 

[Sherlock]

Sorry I'm just pre-empting what's going to happen

 

[mosh101]

Toss will once again be a crucial factor

#OnlywithteamPakistan

 

[imshally81]

SA win toss and bat first.

Oh no....

 

[Kianig89]

Play fearless cricket guys 4-1 or 3-2 doesn't matter

 

[imshally81]

Sorry I'm just pre-empting what's going to happen

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah loses the toss again.

 

[Asif321]

Misbah lost again

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK chasing again.

 

[imshally81]

Play fearless cricket guys 4-1 or 3-2 doesn't matter

True Supporter

 

[Kianig89]

[Sherlock]

SA do indeed win toss, yet again.

 

[mosh101]

Toss lost again !

[Kianig89]

Sa bat again

 

[imshally81]

SA win toss and bat first.

Hahahahah... Spot on

 

[style_guru]

SA win toss and bat first.

I see 50% match lost for pakistan already.

 

[Kianig89]

Philander plays i was waiting for this Steyn rested so is Morne

 

[saiyan0312]

Sorry I'm just pre-empting what's going to happen

Congrats. you lived upto your name. SA wins the toss and will bat first. This is beyond unlucky. Misbah never ever ever gamble.

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah bad luck is hurting Pakistan team

 

[Bullet Drive]

Only one change

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why the hell are still playing Ajmal? Give him a rest.

 

[Kianig89]

The Merry go round Amin in Asad out what a rubbish selection

 

[jattafridi]

misbah is so unlucky

 

[Asif321]

Umar amin IN for Shafiq

no chances for our bench

 

[saiyan0312]

Philander and parnell playing. Amin for asad shafiq... Not an impressive change.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Still no Safraz.

 

[Kianig89]

Robin Warne Peterson comes in

 

[NeVerMind]

good thing they have lost the toss and will be batting last. The team needs to chase a total to rebuild their confidence...

 

[mosh101]

Amin in, Shafiq Out

 

[Sherlock]

Steyn and Morkel rested

 

[Kianig89]

Amin Aka plays again

 

[Bullet Drive]

4-1 on the cards

 

[Kianig89]

Playing Philander under lights will be fun specially with ball keeping low

 

[imshally81]

Bad Team Selection again.....
Misbah was/is a very bad captain ....

 

[Asif321]

our selections is horrible as always why take these players with you if you cant even play them in dead rubbers

 

[Bullet Drive]

We are going to injure Irfan & Ajmal.

 

[imshally81]

Sohail Tanvir is very lucky to get a chance again ......

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jamshed is better then most of these batsman playing today

 

[amjad145]

PAK chasing again.

Great . Another loss. I hope Africa make 390

 

[hussain.r97]

Is Misbah the unluckiest tosser ever!!!! He seriously needs to practice tossing coins..............

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jamshed, Shehzad, Maqsood, Akmal, Misbah, Hafeez, Afridi, Sarfraz, Rehman, Tanvir & Junaid

should have been the team today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah and co are doing their BEST to injure Irfan & Ajmal.

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah really messed up the selection i wonder whats the purpose of playing Amin again is there any outside influence on him

 

[Extreme Pace]

Same old story, bad team selection and balance and on top of that Misbah's toss luck

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No Morkel no Steyn and they are playing Parnell of all people. Pakistan have already won this.

 

[battler]

Pakistan will win this no steyn,no morkel two of south africa's best bowlers rested.

 

[Kianig89]

Irfan should be rested from T20's now

 

[amjad145]

Misbah needs to be sacked. End of. I see another loss. Series is lost yet he won't drop an extra bowler for a batsmen.

 

[Asif321]

Southafrica gave chances to everyone , this should be the attitude , even if we had won like in India, we would have never let our bench to get chance

 

[amjad145]

Misbah really messed up the selection i wonder whats the purpose of playing Amin again is there any outside influence on him

That's just screwed up. He's clueless

 

[Kianig89]

saying on GEO HAfeez Afridi n U.Akmal should be rested/dropped for SA tour later on

 

[Sherlock]

Misbah's interview once again is so negative, it's becoming laughable.

 

[Kianig89]

I second he even said Hafeez last innings had 3-4 boundaries as edges

 

[Kianig89]

I believe Misbah should quit ODi captaincy he has no motivation left

 

[Asif321]

Shoaib Akhtar saying Sarfaraz should have played and Yousuf said Hafeez should not play as opener but as no.6 or 7

 

[Kianig89]

saying can't understand the selection Shafiq n Sarfraz should have played

 

[Kianig89]

really frustrating to watch this
