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

[ZAK]

Hafeez comes back into the attack.

 

[Hamxa89]

Nadeem ghauri = tool

 

[Sledger]

Hit for 4.

Hafeez could struggle against AB..good player of spin.

 

[Rizwan25]

if we cant win this match at least learn by watching SA how to establish a inning.

 

[Rana]

We can really do with a welcome century today from one of our batsmen

 

[MRSN]

pakistan need a few wickets

but how he don't think wicket is important at this stage

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez spanked for

 

[rash]

4 to AB

 

[JibranAnsari]

I guess this is the last series pakistani people will ever watch with some interest , but the future looks gloomy for pakistani cricket they wont have any spectators

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan continue to give one boundary an over away which means no pressure being applied here!

S.A 168/2 AT MOMENT.

 

[alishahid]

this is the way to play in a flat track specially in abudabi and dubai!!!!! learn

 

[chui_kadoo]

AB looking real good now

 

[IAJ]

Misbah and co should watch AB and learn how to play spin.

 

[sanakazmi]

kya yaar, they're getting a single of every ball, slow-poking it to the fielders standing at the edge of the circle. are they standing too deep? this is frustrating.

 

[TigerJat]

7 off the over again.

they went for a four and the rest easy singles

 

[Looney]

I guess this is the last series pakistani people will ever watch with some interest , but the future looks gloomy for pakistani cricket they wont have any spectators

the man has done his job and die in peace now

 

[nads_rocks]

I said it before i'm saying it now, Saffers are going to make 340+ today.

They will reach 200 in 36th or 37th over, with wickes in hand they will go berserk and wiht the 3rd powerplay yet to take 340 is the minimum they will get!

 

[chui_kadoo]

SA without Smith and Kallis and yet there batting is solid as a rock

 

[ZAK]

171/2 after 32 overs.

 

[Decipher]

Molestation Update:

Ingram needs 21 more runs to fulfil his purpose

Spread out field with no pressure on the batsman, no game plan, nothing !!!. Everyone is hoping for the batsman to make a mistake and gift away his wicket while runs are flowing like water under the bridge.
No wonder these lil unknown ingram shingram is having fun with Pakistani clowns who have 200 and 300 ODIs under their belts.

 

[Boi]

Afridi doesn not use his non existing brain so u cn expect all stupidity from him

How can you use something which isn't there in the first place? Highly contradictory statement.

 

[JibranAnsari]

kya yaar, they're getting a single of every ball, slow-poking it to the fielders standing at the edge of the circle. are they standing too deep? this is frustrating.

yah plus two catches flied where the slips should be

 

[Hamxa89]

Poor field set up

 

[Maula Jutt]

Ingram 18 runs away from his maiden century.

 

[JibranAnsari]

150 for ingram, anyone?

 

[shaykh1985]

Well fielded Shoaib...

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez and Misbah will have to play a fast paced innings today. We cant afford this tuk tuk cricket today and a strike rate of 60

 

[Rana]

Next thing you know, Afridi might start blaming yk's presence for his captaincy decline!

 

[sanakazmi]

Why the hell the ball is allways going to one of Ajmal, Akhtar and Asad. Rubbish fielders.

This post makes me sad. Asad was such a good fielder in England, what's happened to him! Fawad too.

 

[Boi]

That run out should have been given.

 

[Sledger]

Some indrift for Afridi.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Top fielding by Shoaib.

 

[MRSN]

bizarre field placement

 

[rash]

good fielding by shoaib

 

[hur rizvi]

Even South african commies think that was out ....NAdeem ghauri u r a pathetic umpire

 

[chui_kadoo]

That run out should have been given.

Its gone and dusted now. No point worrying about it now

 

[Krishnan]

a gud move.must take out ab early

 

[*sallu*]

Rubbish captaincy today

Worthy of an under 11 captain

 

[PakFan2010]

Did anyone just see Afridi stepping on the ball at the end of the last over?

 

[Rana]

Afridi is confused as it gets!

 

[Sledger]

back on. Time for some players to retire hurt.

 

[Boi]

Didn't carry. Good stop.

 

[ZAK]

176/2 after 33 overs.

 

[insaftak]

dropped?

 

[Decipher]

bring the fielders close to the batsman and try to bowl a maiden over, try to frustrate the batsman and let him hit a rash shot for four .... at least yar ... kuch to brain use karo instead of heartless cricket. Looks like Pakistan has lost the hunger and spirit to win.

 

[chui_kadoo]

176-2 after 33

 

[JibranAnsari]

shoaib ,ingram's bunny

 

[Maula Jutt]

Good effort by Asad.

 

[Sledger]

Crowd comes alive once Shoaib is back.

 

[ZAK]

Akhtar is back!!!

 

[insaftak]

dropped?

Nope that wasn't a catch. stupid commentators.

 

[Hamxa89]

What is wrong with Akhtar today? He looks disinterested.

 

[hur rizvi]

No reverse swing ????...

 

[ads101]

This is where Gul is needed rather than an extra spinner. Should have kept the run rate low at the start. You have to be attacking now.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Almost a catch

 

[Looney]

drinking Aquafina i believe

 

[JibranAnsari]

shoaib afraid of ingram

 

[ZAK]

Wide

 

[Rana]

Without good death bowlers, we are looking at 300

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

if we cant win this match at least learn by watching SA how to establish a inning.

Exactly! learning is the name of the game at the mo. Definitely not winning!

 

[chui_kadoo]

where are those yorkers

 

[Boi]

where are those yorkers

It's his first over of a new spell, ffs. )

 

[TigerJat]

shoaib is bowling well, but the wicket is too easy and the singles are easy to come by

 

[insaftak]

can anyone get them out please?

OYE AMIRAAAAAAAAA AEEEE KE KITHA EEEEEEEEE!

 

[hur rizvi]

This is where Gul is needed rather than an extra spinner. Should have kept the run rate low at the start. You have to be attacking now.

Should play him in place of Ajmal .... Hafeez has been better than him

 

[Rana]

Afridi and Razzaq might aswell open the batting today,they are gonna flop at the end anyway!

 

[Krishnan]

Powerplay there as well

 

[Hamxa89]

bring the fielders close to the batsman and try to bowl a maiden over, try to frustrate the batsman and let him hit a rash shot for four .... at least yar ... kuch to brain use karo instead of heartless cricket. Looks like Pakistan has lost the hunger and spirit to win.

Exactly yaar. If things don't go there way; they just start to look so flat. Koi effort nai kertay to make things happen. Take a fielder in the deep and test them with short deliveries. Pack the off side field and bowl outside off. Try to throw the batsmen out of their comfort zone.

 

[ZAK]

183/2 after 34 overs.

 

[hur rizvi]

shoaib is bowling well, but the wicket is too easy and the singles are easy to come by

Wicket will crumble when we will bat ....

 

[chui_kadoo]

It's his first over of a new spell, ffs. )

That doesnt stop someone from bowling a few up there does it. Too many leg side deliveries in that over

 

[ads101]

Should play him in place of Ajmal .... Hafeez has been better than him

yep.

Hafeez isn't a better bowler than ajmal but he's a better fielder and batsman hence overall better.

Afridi however is using ajmal wrongly. He's using him as a wicket taking bowler which is wrong. Spinners first job is to conserve runs. Afridi is basically using him as a 3rd fast bowler (i.e. in place of Gul).

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan going through the motions here and i really cant see us chasing 280+ later on either here!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Albie morkel still to come with a power play!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Intikhab Alam sitting there counting on his fingers, "Retard captain 1, retard player 2, retard move 3, retard drop 4..."

 

[chui_kadoo]

AFridi being milked here

 

[Sledger]

Half of these players already look defeated. Afridi seems to be resigned to his fate.

Think most of the team know this is already a stern total.... and still 15 overs to go LOL.

 

[chui_kadoo]

189-2 after 35

 

[ZAK]

189/2 after 35 overs.

 

[Hamxa89]

Pitch it UP! Akhtar you FOOL!
