Pakistan v South Africa | T20 Warm Up | Trent Bridge| 1/6/09

[Da Best]

Akmal proving he should be opening the innings.

No need to Butt

Shazaib and Akmal. Nice! Aamer and Arafat nice!

 

[saeed-sohail]

akmal very close to being run out

 

[taqi]

akmal in fine touch

 

[Da Best]

Kallis looks a bit on the healthy side as well.

 

[Zahid87]

Is it just me or do Kallis and Smith look as though they've put on a few pounds.

 

[pak4life]

The only concern with shezad is he does get bogged down

 

[taqi]

inexperience shehzad

 

[cricketkashmir]

shehzad trying too hard to hit..should rotate the strike

 

[asifp]

Ahmed Shehzad, not a T20 batsman at all.

This is shocking stuff

 

[Saj]

Shehzad looks a bit lost in this form of the game.

Some ugly hoiks.

 

[taqi]

trying too much

 

[cricketkashmir]

shehzad hits a full toss straight to the fielder..bad

 

[cricketkashmir]

inexperience visible clearly

 

[cricketkashmir]

shehzad looking out of sorts..

 

[cricketkashmir]

4 by shehzad..straight again

 

[ItsMeK1]

finally 4 by ahmed

 

[taqi]

shehzad is try to hit every thing
:ahmeds

 

[PlanetPakistan]

How are you guys watching this match?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Abdul Qadir to blame for picking these openers.Its a disgrace that nazir and jamshed are sitting at home and butt and shezad are playing.
Shazaib can't be this bad.

 

[cricketkashmir]

single to shehzad

 

[ali_zee]

r we gonna win this wc with THIS TEAM??????

 

[cricketkashmir]

How are you guys watching this match?

espn...

 

[161]

Ahmed Shehzad, not a T20 batsman at all.

This is shocking stuff

And neither is Butt.

Good job selectors

 

[ali_zee]

Look At Shehzad...i Dunno Y He Is Picked For 20 20

 

[Osman]

Instead of Nazir who should have been an auto selection in this form of the game we are lumped with Butt and Shehzad who can't play T20 to save his life.

 

[cricketkashmir]

misfield again by SA..Kallis this time..whats wrong with the field???

 

[cricketkashmir]

4 by shehzad betwwen cover and point

 

[AZ]

shot by AS! smashed thru the covers!

 

[saeed-sohail]

a four at last by shezad

 

[ItsMeK1]

ahmed founding his ground ... lovely shot

 

[cricketkashmir]

4 again bu shehzad..great in the leg side

 

[ItsMeK1]

2 consecutive fours

 

[AZ]

full toss and stroked thru midwicket! another 4!

 

[Gollum]

Is it me or we have chosen the worst possible opening pair in this game? I see them clicking 1 out of every 100 games.

 

[taqi]

:ahmeds looking more comfortable after two 4s

 

[cricketkashmir]

shehzad looking good now..

 

[ItsMeK1]

shot by AS! smashed thru the covers!

comments about streaming?

 

[srh]

Morkel is the weak link of SA. We need to exploit it.

 

[Lodhiz]

On come Kallis. Please please Akmal, smash him around the ground!

 

[cricketkashmir]

kallis to bowl..akmal defends

 

[Kashi786]

good back to back fours by shehzad

 

[AZ]

SA kit is really awful as well

 

[saeed-sohail]

kallis on.

 

[cricketkashmir]

kammi saved...yorker missed..very close to the off stump

 

[iafzal]

misfield again by SA..Kallis this time..whats wrong with the field???

Trying to make the match interesting for us

 

[PlanetPakistan]

espn...

thanks

 

[cricketkashmir]

looking to pull..misses it kammi

 

[Sabika]

kallis looks beefy

 

[AZ]

c'mon yaar Kami kya ho gaya hai!

 

[Lodhiz]

Akmal, swing and a miss! Come on!

 

[Sparhawk]

Despite all the boundaries this is a bad start by pakistan, too many dot balls

 

[cricketkashmir]

out kammi caught..skied it

 

[Lodhiz]

For gods sake up in the air, and out. If only the boundary was in the sky!

 

[AZ]

and he's GONE! skier that went nowhere, easy catch

 

[Sparhawk]

Akmal goes as well.. he was playing well but i think he got over confident

 

[taqi]

Akmal gone trying too much
trying to his every thing for 4

 

[cricketkashmir]

yaar kammi out..

 

[ItsMeK1]

Gone!!!

 

[srh]

Akmal do not has great footwork. Who said he is the best batsman of Pakistan team?

 

[saeed-sohail]

akmal out for 13 of 16 so much for the hook haah.

 

[OZGOD]

Obviously Shezhad is there to play the Geoff Boycott sheet anchor role and carry his bat to the end.

 

[Mercenary]

Some of the shots Shehzad has played so masterfully today begin to give us an idea of why he's so highly rated

 

[Zahid87]

fatboy gets a wicket....

 

[cricketkashmir]

where is miandad..teach them "single double"

 

[Lodhiz]

We really need a captains knock! Come on YK...

 

[Lodhiz]

AS's shots really aren't connecting!

 

[OZGOD]

Pretty ordinary from Akmal. 13 off 16 is very ordinary

 

[Osman]

Afridi should have been promoted in this situation ...

 

[cricketkashmir]

khan saab takes a single

 

[Saj]

Kallis to Akmal shortly before the keeper was out

 

[OZGOD]

No need to panic, still 15 overs and 8 wickets in hand

 

[Sparhawk]

Not the ideal situation for younis

 

[AZ]

isko to maro!

 

[cricketkashmir]

shehzad looking good now..sweeping this time for a single

 

[saeed-sohail]

need 10 an over.

 

[cricketkashmir]

Thanks SAJ for the pics..APPRECIATED HIGHLY..

 

[Osman]

RRR is 10.50!

 

[iafzal]

I think Shahzad will now be asked to hit and YK to anchor.
Sadly we need hitting from both sides as RR is already near 11 rpo

 

[ItsMeK1]

wide

 

[Lodhiz]

We need boundaries and singles to get up to the required RR. Otherwise this game is going to slip out of our hands!
