Pakistan vs South Africa | Faisalabad | 3rd ODI | 23/10/07 | Pak Innings

[saffer]

hey guys....looks another easy win for pakistan . S.A badly need 2 more wickets .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hameed and Younis khan need to rotate strike here and pick up runs.

 

[junaid78]

what a typical afridi innings. It had all the ingredients.

1. Crowd going beserk
2. Dropped catch
3 trying to play sensibly but beastliness takes over
4 over as quick ascot started

i think he needs to go the quick ejaculation clinic he cums and goes to quickly

 

[Hash]

nothing is ever how it looks with the Pakistan team saffer!

 

[Lightning]

yasir hamead sux like all other openers we have .

He's actually better than most of current crop. But he hasn't played for a while and looks rusty. But yeah he obviously has a glaring problem in his technique that I don't think was so evident before.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Im surprised Yasir's only been LBW 3 times with his technique.

 

[usman_ash14]

this has been the reason why hammed is sitting out these days
8 off 30
he is even giving ntini maidens

 

[161]

yk at 3 looks like a fish out of water !!

plz bring malik back to 3 !!

 

[Caved12]

although it would be unfair to start critisizing Yasir hameed, as he got a chance after long time, but I would still take salman and Imran farhat over him anyday.

 

[kablooee87]

hameed looks like someone who is out their trying not to get out rather than someonevtrying to score runs.

 

[Hash]

i don't think SA have bowled a no ball yet in this tournament

 

[Muddaser]

although it would be unfair to start critisizing Yasir hameed, as he got a chance after long time, but I would still take salman and Imran farhat over him anyday.

I would take Hameed over Farhat and Nazir thats for sure. At least he puts a price on his wicket.

 

[12thMan]

lovely four by Hameed to covers
Pak 52-1

 

[Caved12]

He's actually better than most of current crop. But he hasn't played for a while and looks rusty. But yeah he obviously has a glaring problem in his technique that I don't think was so evident before.

Rusty, Super rusty, he looks like a metal, which is discovered from underneath the sea after 200 years, by the way he just scored a boundary, was a nice touch.

 

[Lightning]

Hameed cracks a chocka without falling over! And now he looks confident. Incredible - what one shot can do.

 

[inzamam_1]

Hameed beginning to open up now

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

I love Yasirs cover drive, one of the best.

 

[Hash]

less than 150 needed now

come on Pakistan. Don't throw this away. we have a 2-1 series lead on the plate in front of us. Just make sure the fat man standing down the hall doesn't smell it and we will be fine.

 

[inzamam_1]

7 off the over. 53/1

 

[Hash]

right

4pm and im off home!

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

I would take Hameed over Farhat and Nazir thats for sure. At least he puts a price on his wicket.

Me too. Just dont think the mans got as much sifarish.

 

[inzamam_1]

2nd powerplay taken and Boucher is now upto the wicket.

 

[Amir]

Me too. Just dont think the mans got as much sifarish.

Thats the basis we are picking our openers on now. Not skill...but on the (lack of) sifarish. )

 

[Caved12]

If hameed scores 35+, he will secure his place for the remaining Odis in this series.

 

[Lightning]

Hameed timing it sweetly now.

Anyone remember how Hameed sort of used to have an inferiority complex of sorts? He would try and compete with Afridi and Inzi in terms of hitting back in the day. He didn't like to play second fiddle. Hahah.

 

[Caved12]

56/1, 11 overs. looks extremely easy from here.

 

[12thMan]

Pak 56-1 after 11 - need 142 to win

 

[Caved12]

ZAheer just said that 197 is not an easy target for this wicket, lol

 

[Oxy]

Just got in - havent seen any of the game to date - How did Pak bowl & field?

 

[Caved12]

Afridi will be the man of the match.

 

[Oxy]

Yasir HAmmed CAUGHT!

58-2

 

[usman_ash14]

With the amount of balls hameed has already played, i expect a 50 from him.
Anything short of 50 from him is dissapointing in my view!

 

[Caved12]

Just got in - havent seen any of the game to date - How did Pak bowl & field?

Some suggested that it was their best fielding ever, and I agree with that.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to just keep picking up 4/5 runs an over from here...

 

[12thMan]

Yasir Hameed out ct at covers of Ntini
Pak 58-2

 

[usman_ash14]

see thats what i meant,
18 off 45 is a really bad performance

 

[Caved12]

well, I am sure you are disappointed now.

 

[darkmoon459]

woopty fraking doo ,bara teer mara yasir siab ney.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully Moyo will continue his good form from 1st two ODIS.

 

[thurkeebaba]

I really wish Yousuf plays another SELFISH inning

 

[Lightning]

Pretty awful shot. No foot work, nothing. Just flayed the ball without much care. Basically through away his wicket.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Hameed seems to insecure of his place to play freely. Hence the slow scoring especially in the last 5-6 matches he's played.

 

[usman_ash14]

well, I am sure you are disappointed now.

as i should be

 

[161]

see thats what i meant,
18 off 45 is a really bad performance

well at least he looked like ac actual bastman out there .. unlike the crazy slogger nazir and hafeez who i have no words to describe.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Can't wait until Zaheer goes off air. This guy is horrible.

 

[Caved12]

I really wish Yousuf plays another SELFISH inning

and that selfish inning will save the pakistan as usuall.

 

[darkmoon459]

well at least he looked like ac actual bastman out there .. unlike the crazy slogger nazir and hafeez who i have no words to describe.

you are kidding right ,he looked like the fish out of water .

 

[12thMan]

3 dot balls by Yousaf

 

[usman_ash14]

well at least he looked like ac actual bastman out there .. unlike the crazy slogger nazir and hafeez who i have no words to describe.

to be honest with u he didt look like a real batsman,
he had no balance, fell over on practically every delivery.
Just look at the amount of time he has been struck on to the pads.

 

[xbox]

We definitly need to try another openner before we go to india. We must try Khalid Latif for atleast 1 game (maybe 2)

 

[12thMan]

did Zaheer just say - 2 Us (Yus) are batting for pakistan

 

[161]

to be honest with u he didt look like a real batsman,
he had no balance, fell over on practically every delivery.
Just look at the amount of time he has been struck on to the pads.

pffft ... those were only his first few balls .. he hasn't played in a while and u'd expect him to be a bit rusty.

 

[Lightning]

you are kidding right ,he looked like the fish out of water .

You love that saying don't you?

 

[xbox]

zaheer needs a chitrol

 

[Lightning]

did Zaheer just say - 2 Us (Yus) are batting for pakistan

Yeah and now he cracked some joke and is himself the only one laughing.

 

[usman_ash14]

Lets see what he does in next game, but still im not impressed.
I still think that they gotta play him in remaining odis and take him to india because he averages 38, but technique wise wow he is bad.

 

[12thMan]

Yeah and now he cracked some joke and is himself the only one laughing.

There are 3 calls while you are batting Yes, No , Wait ... as soon as you make a call the better - Zaheer
And then Jackman said something like and if you mess up then there is "Sorry"
Then Zaheer says and on your way back to dressing room you say Thank you very much

 

[NeVerMind]

you are kidding right ,he looked like the fish out of water .

What do you expect, he came into the fold after along time. He deserves a few more outings before we make a judgement...

 

[Easa]

Just checked the score and I'm delighted.

how did we bowl? how did afridi bowl? and how was his batting?

 

[Oxy]

Zaheer:

I must say that I must not say I must say

Ok he didnt, but he should have...

 

[Oxy]

Who is the Pak umpire - doesnt look like someone you would mess with...

 

[Oxy]

Lovely square cut for 4 by YK.

67-2

 

[12thMan]

Who is the Pak umpire - doesnt look like someone you would mess with...

Zameer Haider

 

[Easa]

Cracking shot by yk, 67/2

 

[12thMan]

Is TNT board advert for TV channel or explosives?

 

[Oxy]

Is TNT board advert for TV channel or bombs?

Its a courier service that have diversified into transporting explosive devices...

 

[12thMan]

Yousuf only 4 off 15

 

[Oxy]

YK is caught!

68-3

 

[Easa]

Yousuf only 4 off 15

he's so selfish, its unbelievable, isn't it?

 

[12thMan]

YK out ct by Botha at midwicket off Morkel
Pak 68-3 after 16.3 overs = need 130 to win

 

[Oxy]

Shoaib Malik in - mini-collapse is on.

 

[xbox]

Man we need to play Younis at 6 or he should be out of ODI squad.

 

[NeVerMind]

Younis gone and pakistan in toruble! We always have to make it hard don't we? No such thing as an easy Pak win...

 

[Lightning]

Man Malik needs to bat 3. Younis is really struggling at 3. Don't know what's wrong with him. He's a class act.

 

[the true passionist]

Younis fails yet again. His ODI performance escapes me.

His role is to anchor the innings, his prefered style, yet he cannot perform!

 

[Lightning]

Shoaib Malik in - mini-collapse is on.

Come on shuk shuk boloh. Or whatever the saying is.

 

[saffer]

With a few quiet overs or a wicket , S.A will be right back into the game ...

 

[the true passionist]

I think Malik, Moyo and others can do it.

We only have to think about batting 50 overs playing only conventional strokes.

 

[Oxy]

I say we leave YK alone and rip into Moyo....

 

[Lightning]

This is the difference between Ponting and Yousuf under pressure. Both class acts but there is a difference.
