Pakistan v South Africa l Warm-Up | Oval | June 03, 2013| Pakistan Innings

[HamzaSaeen]

Time for our batsmen to get some practice, then!

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Pakistan require 203 runs in 50 overs.

What batting lineup would you go with considering there are some players with little experience or others who are out of form?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Nasir
Farhat
Hafeez
Misbah
Shafiq
Umar Amin

that's my top 6.

 

[Rizie]

why didnt ajmal play today?

 

[Munna]

whatever the batting order, but batsmen need to keep it simple and not play adventurous shots like south african top order batsmen did

 

[HamzaSaeen]

yes, specially if the ball is swinging.

 

[Square Drive]

Imran Farhat
Nasir Jamshed
Mohammad Hafeez
Asad Shafiq
Misbah-Ul-Haq
Umar Amin
Kamran Akmal
Shoaib Malik
Wahab Riaz
Ehsan Adil
Abdur Rehman

 

[Square Drive]

This match should determine which one of Farhat/Jamshed play the CT.

Cant we play every batsmen in squad just like south africa did

 

[HamzaSaeen]

yes it should, more or less. hopefully scores a big ton today (next to impossible, but still possible ), had enough failures.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

obviously we don't have 11 specialist batsmen... but we can play all our batsmen and some bowlers who can bat just like saffas played mclaren, kleinveldt and petersen.

 

[Square Drive]

yes it should, more or less. hopefully scores a big ton today (next to impossible, but still possible ), had enough failures.

I have a feeling Farhat will do better.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

I have a feeling Farhat will do better.

please get rid of that feeling, if he scores 20 being a 'senior' he will fix his place in the team for the next decade.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Yes, but in what order? Only so many runs to chase, not likely everybody will get to bat. (Hopefully not!)

 

[Square Drive]

please get rid of that feeling, if he scores 20 being a 'senior' he will fix his place in the team for the next decade.

Face the truth. The truth is always bitter.

 

[syedtumair]

its Pakistan ... they can shut down before 170 considering SA will use every bowler they have

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Face the truth. The truth is always bitter.

this time around, hopefully it is sweet for once!

 

[soso_killer]

SA should look at the positives, Faf did not run himself out today which is a good start etc. etc.

 

[Mamoon]

We have got our very own run out machine too

 

[HamzaSaeen]

just hopefully mediocre (only in ODIs) steyn does not run through as I write smacks him for

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Steyn does not have a spectacular ODI record.

 

[Square Drive]

What a shot!

 

[Executioner]

We have got our very own run out machine too

dont worry, jamshed will ensure his partners will be runout

 

[Mamoon]

Dale Steyn

 

[Square Drive]

First-ball boundary to STEYN! Sir Imran on fire!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:4

Already a better batsman than JP

 

[HamzaSaeen]

hopefully Jammy scores a big one.

 

[Munna]

hafeez must have pleaded these two openers to see off steyn's spell and not get out before that

 

[Jo_Don]

Why isn't Hafeez opening? )

 

[HamzaSaeen]

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Steyn nervous bowling to

 

[Square Drive]

Run-rate 12 RPO.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Why isn't Hafeez opening? )

because we have got other openers to smack steyn

 

[HamzaSaeen]

steyn looks like a 70 year old uncle while running into bowl... look at his face while he runs in

 

[t_kaay]

hopefully they have told jammy to take his time and just get used to conditions. a good start.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Smart minds think alike

 

[WebGuru]

Start with a wide lol

 

[HamzaSaeen]

hopefully he scores today... as I write its a from tsotsobe

 

[t_kaay]

not very disciplined start from SA here.

 

[Square Drive]

Lol, horrible delivery by Tsotsobe first up. Wide.

 

[Mamoon]

Why isn't Hafeez opening? )

He has been playing at number three since the Ireland matches, genius.

He has smashed Steyn all over the park in LOIs before.

Nice try, NOT

 

[Square Drive]

HamzaSaeen, congrats on 2,000 posts on PP!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Smart minds think alike

hell yeah!

 

[Munna]

tsotsobe is looking dashing in this kit

 

[Mamoon]

Trundletsobe will get smashed in the street cricket we play.

 

[soso_killer]

I'm not sure if Pakistan should be worried but i think they have played SA 6 times this year (including the current game) SA have won the "odd" match with Pakistan winning the "even".
1st ODI SA won
2nd ODI Pak won
3rd ODI SA won
4th ODI Pak won
5th ODI SA won
Today Pakistan are likely and should win. So 6th ODI Pak wins
The next match is in the group stages and will be the 7th match between the two this year, you draw up your own conclusion.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Tsotsobe bowling

He'll be smashed by sir

 

[WebGuru]

Commie telling nice story lol

 

[HamzaSaeen]

HamzaSaeen, congrats on 2,000 posts on PP!

[WebGuru]

Saeen g Congrats

 

[HamzaSaeen]

only sir farhat can play a back foot cover drive!

 

[Square Drive]

Nice shot, couple.

Commie thinking that Jamshed hit that shot, when it was Farhat who hit it.

 

[Mamoon]

Sir Farhat showing Alviro Jokersen how its down.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Saeen g Congrats

thanks man, many more posts to come!

this isn't classed as an official odi, so we are ok.

 

[Jo_Don]

So he had to move down the order against the mighty Irish...

 

[HamzaSaeen]

tsotsobe getting good movement but horrible line and length, no control!

 

[Square Drive]

Steyn vs Jamshed. Should be interesting.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

wasim commentating on steyn... should his comments go on the 'steyn vs akram' thread?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

trying a wild pull shot!

 

[Square Drive]

Jamshed has a go at the short one, gets a couple.

 

[Mamoon]

So he had to move down the order against the mighty Irish...

He is more suited to playing at number three. What is wrong with that?

 

[Rizie]

why didnt ajmal play?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

no ball and

 

[Mamoon]

Steyn owned )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:6

 

[t_kaay]

take that steyn...and a free hit

 

[Square Drive]

Wow! Great shot! Steyn looking like a trundler.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

again akram says its his favourite shot

 

[Munna]

[Square Drive]
