Pakistan v South Africa | 5th ODI | Sharjah | 11/11/2013 | South Africa Innings

[Kianig89]

SA tail got stronger today with the inclusion of R Peterson Parnell n Philander

 

[786warrior]

Tanvir economical but wicketless

that's good enough for mr misbah - he's booked his place as a steward on the flight to SA

 

[Robbie]

50 for SA

 

[Naheem]

50 up for sa

 

[saiyan0312]

hafeez coming in now... So junaid is fifth change.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why are we playing the same team in a dead rubber?

 

[Amjid Javed]

I still dont understand why we continue to select mediocre players like tanvir, afridi and hafeez.. it just shows the lack of planning towards the next world cup.

 

[the Great Khan]

I still dont understand why we continue to select mediocre players like tanvir, afridi and hafeez.. it just shows the lack of planning towards the next world cup.

but this is part of the plan. Two months before the world cup we'll realsie they are all rubbish, drop them select some unknowns and then when they fail go back to the TTF's. All part of the plan.

 

[Kianig89]

Kepler made some right points here 1st game defeat was criminal

 

[Robbie]

but this is part of the plan. Two months before the world cup we'll realsie they are all rubbish, drop them select some unknowns and then when they fail go back to the TTF's. All part of the plan.

Plan for what? Losing?

 

[Kianig89]

game is very dull come on boys

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal gets de kock.. Dude when there are rumors of younis khan coming back then i believe that highlights the lack of planning.

 

[Kianig89]

why is AKmal shouting

 

[Kianig89]

so ajmal to rescue AB in now

 

[Robbie]

De Cock gone!!

Ajmal does it again.

 

[saiyan0312]

jp in

 

[Kianig89]

JP in

 

[Robbie]

Pakistan pulling things back here.
Last 5 overs 15/1

 

[Fahdi]

Junaid Khan was our best fast bowler in the last match but he still has not been brought on? MISBAH? WHY SO STUPID!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Moosa]

Is Junaid playing?

 

[Robbie]

I think ajmal should get a break now and misbah should save him for the middle overs.

 

[Moosa]

U.Akmal is so stupid behind the stumps

 

[Robbie]

Duminy has improved so much against spin.

 

[saiyan0312]

hafeez gets jp.

 

[WebGuru]

Shehzad Jonty got it!

 

[battler]

Duminy out!

 

[arehaan]

this is why I would take Shehzad over Nasir any day

 

[Robbie]

And the commentators curse has struck.

 

[DanishJamil]

Duminy has improved so much against spin.

tongue in cheek moment

 

[Robbie]

Now i feel how the tv commentators must be feeling every time.

 

[saiyan0312]

afridi to bowl.. so juanid will be a sixth change.

 

[Moosa]

Pakistan will be so relieved to see Tahir, Steyn & Morkel not playing.
If they don't win today they can never.

 

[imshally81]

afridi to bowl.. so juanid will be a sixth change.

Why he is in the team ????

 

[Moosa]

Why so less post in a Pakistan game today? Why so less interest?
C'mmon guys support our team, even though its a dead rubber.

 

[Kianig89]

Sa are very lucky to have won the series earlier

 

[Fahdi]

No junaid still?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

SA 's Tail started

 

[saiyan0312]

Why he is in the team ????

Irfan to bowl now.. I have no idea why?

 

[Kianig89]

drinks break

 

[Kianig89]

Ab is key here get him plz

 

[saiyan0312]

misfield by sohaib.

 

[saiyan0312]

not carried.

 

[Moosa]

Irfan to bowl now.. I have no idea why?

Death bowling specialist?

 

[parwezzkhan]

Juned playing as a batsman. Today misbah discover last night.....plain stupid if he is not capable of bowling then drop him or if others are bowling well then why play with 6 front line bowlers when batting is weak.......

 

[cricwiz]

Sohaib even looks Inzi in his 1st slip catching

Inzi was a great slip catcher, by the way...

 

[battler]

misfield by sohaib.

Now i know why he is called inzamam 2.0

 

[Kianig89]

look at our tail 5 genuine Chris martins Afridi Tanvir ajmal Junaid Irfan thats way 200/5 turn 213 allout

 

[Moosa]

Bowl was swinging in the 1st five overs. Misbah should have given the new ball to Junaid.
Misbah had other ideas

 

[saiyan0312]

Death bowling specialist?

To keep him back for so long makes no sense. Cant expect him to bowl all his ten overs at the end.

 

[JibranAnsari]

AB is due a ton.

 

[saiyan0312]

look at our tail 5 genuine Chris martins Afridi Tanvir ajmal Junaid Irfan thats way 200/5 turn 213 allout

And the funny part is i expect these four chris martins to score some runs. Expect nothing from the fifth.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well Junaid does not do much with the new ball, good that misbah keeping him for old ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

And the funny part is i expect these four chris martins to score some runs. Expect nothing from the fifth.

Lol he missed akmal..we have six chris martins in the side.

 

[Moosa]

These tuk tuk games are sooo boring for the spectators.
Pakistan why you don't prepare flat tracks for your home game? Specially when your batting is weak?

 

[JibranAnsari]

WHat a borefest!

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Lol he missed akmal..we have six chris martins in the side.

Half(forty)-eez...


If you know what i mean half(40)=20

 

[GreenKnightRises]

cool. 20 overs gone and no sign of Junaid yet.

 

[Red Devil]

cool. 20 overs gone and no sign of Junaid yet.

Misbah hates Junaid

 

[Bilal7]

Junaid being treated like Tanvir should have been.

 

[battler]

WHat a borefest!

That's why guys like me prefer 350 score run chases than this borefest.

 

[Bilal7]

Well Junaid does not do much with the new ball, good that misbah keeping him for old ball.

What? He's excellent with the new ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

That's why guys like me prefer 350 score run chases than this borefest.

#50 plus chases also a borefest for me.. I like to see a contest rathar than batsmen or bowlers dominating. I like to see a contest between bat an ball.

 

[Robbie]

These tuk tuk games are sooo boring for the spectators.
Pakistan why you don't prepare flat tracks for your home game? Specially when your batting is weak?

Even tearaway pitches are more exciting. This is just pathetic. Slow batting, Slow turn.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What? He's excellent with the new ball.

Not really , does not swing at all. Keeps it tight. Is more dangerous with the old ball with some reverse.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Even tearaway pitches are more exciting. This is just pathetic. Slow batting, Slow turn.

So dont watch..Simple

 

[Bilal7]

MashAllah, Irfan has become an excellent bowler.

 

[Bilal7]

Not really , does not swing at all. Keeps it tight. Is more dangerous with the old ball with some reverse.

He swings it both ways. Refer back to the India series.

I can't see why people are finding this boring. Appreciate the art of bowling.

 

[Bilal7]

I am not watching just following it through Crapinfo.

No wonder you find it boring.

 

[battler]

#50 plus chases also a borefest for me.. I like to see a contest rathar than batsmen or bowlers dominating. I like to see a contest between bat an ball.

But atleast there is some action every over.
This is a dot-ball fest.

 

[Heisenberg]

Pathetic by Misbah going with his feet and giving away a single.

 

[mussu-100]

Its pathetic that they keep showing Hafeez's drop catch over and over again. I dont remember him dropping any other catch. Everyone is hanging it over his head. Now suddenly, because he dropped ONE catch, he is no longer in the slips. Sad....

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

He swings it both ways. Refer back to the India series.

I can't see why people are finding this boring. Appreciate the art of bowling.

Indians dont seem to digest the ART of bowling so...:ahmed

 

[JibranAnsari]

He swings it both ways. Refer back to the India series.

I can't see why people are finding this boring. Appreciate the art of bowling.

Yah that series only which can easily be considered a one off or a fluke. he has never done it again. No swing all all after that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its pathetic that they keep showing Hafeez's drop catch over and over again. I dont remember him dropping any other catch. Everyone is hanging it over his head. Now suddenly, because he dropped ONE catch, he is no longer in the slips. Sad....

Be happy he is in any position at all in the field, he should be playing domestic for all the good reasons.

 

[chronic]

Dont believe we are playing with 6 specialist bowlers + 2 part timers!!!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

All SA would be looking be 180+ . An imposing target for our batsmen

 

[JibranAnsari]

Indians dont seem to digest the ART of bowling so...:ahmed

This is not art of bowling , this a pathetic dull and boring pitch.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Its pathetic that they keep showing Hafeez's drop catch over and over again. I dont remember him dropping any other catch. Everyone is hanging it over his head. Now suddenly, because he dropped ONE catch, he is no longer in the slips. Sad....

He dropped the match with that catch

 

[Munna]

has Junaid gone shopping in Sharjah?

 

[Bilal7]

Its pathetic that they keep showing Hafeez's drop catch over and over again. I dont remember him dropping any other catch. Everyone is hanging it over his head. Now suddenly, because he dropped ONE catch, he is no longer in the slips. Sad....

He missed a run-out chance in this match too.

Yah that series only which can easily be considered a one off or a fluke. he has never done it again. No swing all all after that.

He was swinging it in the last match and during the tour to South Africa too.
