Pakistan vs South Africa | 2nd ODI | Abu Dhabi | 31-10-2010 |Pakistan Innings

[alishahid]

128 from 90 balls.

think its a t20 and play the game to its merit. powerplay should be taken while razzaks out there or else it would be wasted like it always happen when pak bats

 

[Ali Raja]

Fawad needs to learn how to play the sweep!

better.

 

[nads_rocks]

What Fawad haters dont realise is that he is building up his experience of international cricket -

He is difficult to get out - thats good!

I dont mind if we dont win - as long as he plays well.

If enough people start playing well!

Winning will happen automatically!

We've been waiting patiently for what 7,8,9 years for Pakistan to perform, chase, win matches, bring something to the pitch, looks like these practice sessions is taking forever not just for Fawad but everyone...

 

[Rizie]

more food for fawad rameez

 

[Leonidos]

Fawad needs to learn how to play the sweep!

He needs to learn a lot of things including how to play for the team instead for his position.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Alam is garbage! not even good enough for any form of cricket.

 

[ZAK]

1 to AR.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

is fawad there in there test squad??? anybody got a clue about that?

Pak policy is to select test players for T20 and ODI players for Tests....

 

[Sledger]

why?

Thinks he's to slow - putting pressure on .

 

[mhraja]

Razzaq should be played as baatsman

 

[ZAK]

1 to Fawad.

 

[Schickelgruber]

Guys this is pretty much possible.. InshaAllah pak will win

Well the guy in your avatar ain't gonna win it for us just to make it clear.

 

[nads_rocks]

Powerplay!!!! powerplay!!!! powerplay!!!

Take!!! Take!!!! Take!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

I hate Razzaq but God, do I want him him to win this game for us

 

[mhraja]

Thinks he's to slow - putting pressure on .

Exactly

 

[Free Hit]

why are you people bashing fawad.............

i mean he has been the 2nd best batsman by pakistan today, its not all about run rate, run rate is healthy, we have no wicket after him

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

He needs to learn a lot of things including how to play for the team instead for his position.

He is playing for the team.... he has stopped a collapse and the team is rebuilding.

As long as Razzaq is still there we can win!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Razzaq.

 

[Maula Jutt]

120 off 86 balls needed

 

[jusarrived]

There is a role for "test" players in ODIS

Think

Think

sure there is , but Fawad is not test class

 

[Rizie]

fawad plays like a girl

 

[Atif]

Nice shot by Fawad

Something sensible for a change...

 

[cricketpassion]

now Ramiz is happy :4 Fawad

ahh i see

 

[shaykh1985]

Nice...good to see the boundaries coming...

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

SHOT by FAWAD

 

[Dare2Dream]

Fawad finally showing intention after wasting loads of balls

 

[iZeeshan]

GET IN FAWAD ALAM



COME on!!!!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

ALam cant play the pull shot

 

[Sledger]

What a shot by Fawad!

 

[Batman]

by Fawad

 

[sam]

Fawad plays for his spot, not the team. Obviously, the pressure is on the rest to try and score. Doesn't help that Pakistan have Misbah and Hafeez in the same line up as Fawad.

 

[nads_rocks]

Fawad will need another physio after that shot for 4...

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

This is a beautiful innings - exactly the type we need!

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[Boi]

Fawad cramps up again after hitting a boundary.

 

[mhraja]

Alam should take singles

 

[Sledger]

More cramps.

 

[imshally81]

From Cricbuzz

Morkel to Alam, FOUR!!, that has been clubbed away into the deep mid wicket boundary! It was a slower bouncer which Morkel attempted, Alam read the slower one quickly, just walked a couple of paces down the pitch before mowing that into the gap at deep mid wicket, Hayden used to play a lot of those in his prime!

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 5/172 | 36 Overs | Fawad 34* | Need 115 runs to win from 84 balls

8 off the over!

 

[Schickelgruber]

This is still get-able. If Razzaq stays there of course. Zoni in next and he is no different to Alama!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Nonsense!

 

[iZeeshan]

Man, if Fawad wins us this game, I wonder how some PPers are going to respond

 

[Boi]

Take the powerplay mann??

 

[Kray_jackson7]

still possible, if abdul razzaq fires

 

[Free Hit]

ALam cant play the pull shot

 

[Sledger]

Imagine if he hits a 6.

Might collapse.

Sam: "Fawad Alam reminds me of Ravindra Jadeja " Except Alam scored a century on Test debut

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

If someone gets out now - who is left?

 

[Desi_Joker]

Seems like cricinfo like Fawad:

Are you people serious!? What a joke.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Oh please, dont tell me he is going to retire hurt after scoring that one boundary.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

The run-rate required is still 8 - perfect!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

akram is back in the commentary box, yes!!!!

 

[SOSami]

Man, if Fawad wins us this game, I wonder how some PPers are going to respond

It will be mayhem! Come on kiddo keep going.

 

[oracleg]

Alam's playing this pretty well to be honest. He needs to play a cautious innings...the tail starts with the fall of the next wicket.

8 per over with 10 overs to go is gettable imo.

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Take the powerplay mann??

Im thinking abdul razzaq is waiting for the spinners to end
~
come on fawad and abdul razzaq. You can do it!!!!

Wasn't me.

Fawad is frustrating at times but nowhere near Jadeja.

rubbish.

Fawad's always playing for his team with position he's forced in having to cope with having to play with afridi and razzaq.

Two late hitters working together doesn't usually work late in the stage when the pressure is on. You need one person at the other end to take the singles and rotate the strike. We don't have a partnership like hussey and Cameron white unfortunately. we have to make do.

I've been saying this in some of my posts, this is the only option if we are to win or even get close to this total, take the damn powerplay Razzaq is in he can play the shots, but they will not take the powerplay until we are 7 or 8 wickets down and need 80 off 7 overs!

 

[Kray_jackson7]

did you see sahibzada today, truly amazing, your wish still upholds tho....

A good innings, missed the big hits from 11 to 37 because i was at namaaz.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Fawad Alam to win us the game InshaAllah
