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

[kablooee87]

Pollock GONE. ct and bowled.

Yet another influential bowling speel from Shahid Afridi.

 

[Sparhawk]

4 wides. crap!

Next ball caught and bowled!!! WOIEEEE Afridi

 

[junaid78]

181/7 bowled and caught afridi

 

[shahzad_1]

lazy akmal

 

[Caved12]

If Afridi can score only 30 runs today, he will be the man of the match.

 

[Plasma]

another one goes!!

 

[iafzal]

Who is Nazir is in fielding for?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

wow..what a cricketer. afridi is...where is that smart boy who was calling afridi scared n what not...go hide in a box boy

 

[CricketBuff]

Freedi on a roll here !!!!

 

[Hash]

SA will score around 250

 

[shahzad_1]

umm, hard to believe that its our team

 

[161]

Afridi - MOHM (man of the half-match) so far

 

[junaid78]

afridi needs a haircut

 

[kablooee87]

10 - 0 - 37 - 3 from Afridi

Bravo!

 

[junaid78]

ohh crap bwling now 4 187/7

 

[junaid78]

ooh saved another full toss ohh whos this crap bowler

 

[Punter]

Afridi finishes his 10 overs with figures of 3/37

 

[kablooee87]

200 is just round the corner.

 

[Shahid A]

If Afridi can score only 30 runs today, he will be the man of the match.

30???? hopefully he scores way above that

 

[kablooee87]

OUT!!!!

Morkel could have done some damage. But he's gone now. Cmon let's keep em under 200.

 

[iafzal]

Another chance and another catch well done Pak

 

[Pathan007]

good catch by nazir da sub

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

We have SA 7 down, ready to die and you bring on Rao instead of Gul?

 

[Hash]

2 more wickets to get in 3 overs

come on, bowl them out

 

[iafzal]

Can Gul york his way the last 2 tailenders?

 

[Hash]

We have SA 7 down, ready to die and you bring on Rao instead of Gul?

8 down!

Gul will be on next over

 

[Caved12]

30???? hopefully he scores way above that

that's the minimum I suggested to be the man of the match, and to make it easier for the following line up to chase the score easily, afridi's quick 30 runs are more valueable than any slower fifty done by any batsman in the world. I wish he scores more.

 

[shahzad_1]

good stuff from imran nazir

 

[kablooee87]

We have SA 7 down, ready to die and you bring on Rao instead of Gul?

oh please....he has to bowl both of them.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Lucky wicket!

 

[Isolation]

Lucky wicket!

 

[kablooee87]

swing and a miss from Botha.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

I dont think we've done enough. I believe we will stumble chasing this. If you have a team on the run, bowl em out for under 150.

Naved, if you don't mind me asking, how much of this match have you watched.

 

[Isolation]

Naved, if you don't mind me asking, how much of this match have you watched.

The parts wherever there is a chance to critisize malik

 

[Asim2Good]

Pakistan now should send Afridi at top as well, don't think that score is low and we don't need Afridi.
otherwise he will be useless at end if we are under pressure

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Naved, if you don't mind me asking, how much of this match have you watched.

None! I'm going by logic. I was extremely disappointed that we didn't rest malik. We need him fit for the bangla and zimba series.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Jackass chattin bull5h1t again

 

[junaid78]

its always tough when SAF is bowling, u never count them out
cos they have never say die attitude will mke them fight back
plus Pakistan crumble when put under pressure in batting

 

[Momo]

Naved, if you don't mind me asking, how much of this match have you watched.

This is a masterpiece! Yes I agree Naved has just tuned in five minutes ago.
However I share his concern. It will be tough for Pakistan even if they do it in the end.

 

[Sparhawk]

He really is a huge jackass. "i think thats one of the worst appeals ive ever heard" It was an inside edge onto pad, and wasnt even a big appeal.

 

[iafzal]

9 down Rao gets his man

 

[kablooee87]

Good death bowling from both pacers. Rao has missed his length once or twice but he's tried to keep it at yorker length most of the time.

And now Rao gets another wicket. That's 2 is the death. I blame Malik.

South Africa 9 down, Hash just might get his wish.

 

[Pathan007]

taanga strikes! balle balle

 

[bounced]

another lucky wicket

 

[kablooee87]

This is a masterpiece! Yes I agree Naved has just tuned in five minutes ago.

I agree that the chase will be tricky.

But to critisize Pak for any part of the performance so far is beyond nitpicking.

 

[shahzad_1]

rao on fire

 

[Hash]

come on 6 balls, 1 wicket

I have my house, my car and $600,000 on us bowling them out.

I wont be happy if I lose all of that.

 

[kablooee87]

Gul gets em!!!!

198 to win.

Hash, you got to see em bowled out. Happy?

 

[NeVerMind]

Ntini bowled by Gul! 197 all out! Great bowling performance having bowled the Africans all out...

 

[Hash]

Rao finishes with 8-0-33-3

SHABASH RAO!

 

[Plasma]

middle stump outta the ground!!

 

[iafzal]

What a performance with the ball and the fielding.
one of the better on field performance by Pak in years.

Well done boys just do not disappoint with the bat now

 

[Hash]

Gul gets em!!!!

198 to win.

Hash, you got to see em bowled out. Happy?

yes I'm very happy

198 to win. A good start from the openers/Afridi and its game, set and match.

 

[161]

well bowled well fielded.

saffis fall 40 runs short of the average here.

 

[Momo]

So much on Pakistan to do something?
You are a bloodyfool.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

47 runs too many for my liking, but if the Ys bat for most of the innings we could do it.

 

[Momo]

I agree that the chase will be tricky.

But to critisize Pak for any part of the performance so far is beyond nitpicking.

I agree. Pakistan bowling/fielding/captaincy has been spot on. You cant expect it to be any better.
Its over to the batters now and I hope they do it albeit after a stutter or two!

 

[Hash]

SA are a good 40-50 runs short here.

 

[pak4life]

the pitch is really slow if we get bogged down as normal we will start to panic. Afridi has to open to give us a quick start

 

[kablooee87]

47 runs too many for my liking, but if the Ys bat for most of the innings we could do it.

sometimes I wonder whether your whole online personna is just an act designed to get certain reactions frompeople.

 

[Caved12]

Hopefully Pakistan will chase this score with some ease, but even if the openers screw up big time, still pakistan should win easily, and if middle order gets crashed, we will still be glued to our chairs, cause we know we have batting till 8.

 

[161]

the pitch is really slow if we get bogged down as normal we will start to panic. Afridi has to open to give us a quick start

for once i think it is a good idea to open with afridi...

there is no swing or seam movement to bother him ..

and we need to score heavily on the new ball on this sluggish pitch.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Not really, I just want to return to the good old days of bowling teams out!!

Too many people are satisfied with "adequate performances". In this ODI age, you very rarely get a chance as a bowling side to impose yourself on the opposition - when you do, do something spectacular. We had that chance today and should have finished them off earlier.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

47 runs too many for my liking, but if the Ys bat for most of the innings we could do it.

Naved, you are the ruffian that likes ruffling the feathers of the PP community, is this something inherent to you or do you enjoy riling the 'armchair' supporters from your 'rocking chair'.

I say this much: Even though I disagree with certain things you say, I respect most of it;s obvious you know what you're talking about and aren't afraid to say exactly how you feel.

BUT, you still never answered my question. How much of today's innings did you watch?

 

[Shahid A]

who is going to open the batting?

 

[Hash]

who is going to open the batting?

Rehman and Gul

 

[Shahid A]

Rehman and Gul

oh not tanvir?

 

[Hash]

oh not tanvir?

I am led to believe that Tanvir will bat at 4

I answered it earlier!

 

[TalhaSyed]

I am led to believe that Tanvir will bat at 4

Oh i heard \Gul and Tanvir...then Rehman one down and Rao at 4.

But on a more serious note i have a feeling it might be Hameed & Afridi

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

I am led to believe that Tanvir will bat at 4

where did you get that from!!

 

[Saj]

guys I'm closing this thread. I've started a new one for the Pak innings.

thanks
