Pakistan VS South Africa | ICC T20 2010 | Super 8 Match 9 | 10/05/2010 | Pak Innings

[GLORY OF '92]

Same as last year. Choke the saffers, come on!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

its not a high total but its SA who needs to control their nerves and try to win with Good Run rate.............

So game on

 

[Awesome_Username]

We got this in the bag... just need to take the catches...

 

[imshally81]

Fu Misbah

 

[chui_kadoo]

comfortable for SA this. Only Umar the shining light. Just shows time and again we need to get rid of dead wood

 

[WeAreTheVampions]

Misbah, 3 of 7

so he might have cost us like 10 runs right there

a 10 year old boy could bat better than this bloke.

 

[purepak]

extras will be key!

 

[Momo]

Well played Pakistan. Well played Uamr Akmal (that green lipstick was a stroke of genius). Well played Qalandar.

Match is nicely poised. I am cautiously confident.

 

[imshally81]

very bad perfomance in the end

 

[Syndrome]

Pakistan has thrown away the match in the last 3-4 overs. 165-170 should have been easily made after Umar's and Afridi's partnership. This pitch isn't responsive to spin at all, this match is lost barring a miracle.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

F*** you Misbah, great knock....for South Africa.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

a 10 year old boy could bat better than this bloke.

u been generous........its actaully 5 year )

 

[Khabri420]

Misbah is a class act. Played a little cameo of 3 off 7 deliveries

 

[cricket_fever]

We need 160 atleast. Afridi I will blame Afridi, why play the stupid shot

atleast he revived us from the dead

 

[Tiger316]

pakistan are atleast 20 runs short. Or should have just made 160 atleast poor work once again. Afridi once giving his wicket away if u have so much power then why bother playing these kind of strokes

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan need to choke SA here. SA have to chase the target down with balls to spare.

 

[Strike!]

We need early wickets or its game over.

 

[purepak]

by how much will SA need to win?

 

[Salman_S]

Well its never easy beating South Africa, always have to do something exceptional. So i guess they really need to bowl well here.

I have a feeling they are going to go out and try to blast it. Remember they need to not only win but improve their net run rate as well.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi's wicket was the turning point. Why doesnt he stand his base instead of trying the spectacular. Defnite blame should go to afridi. Nonsense cricket

 

[pakistani]

pakistan are atleast 20 runs short. Or should have just made 160 atleast poor work once again. Afridi once giving his wicket away if u have so much power then why bother playing these kind of strokes

Hopefully with those 30 runs it gave him some confidence for his bowling

 

[<< Rashid >>]

It's amazing how these matches are so similar to last year, except we're not coming out on the winning side this time.

 

[Saqib]

I just can't believe it what we just saw the last 3 overs only 16 runs and the shots Razzaq and Misbah where playing omggg PLAY IN THE V AREA!!!!! the off side was packed.
Misbah why did Pakistan play him he scored 3 runs of 7 balls they were better of with Hammad and we had an extra bowling option now.

 

[ads101]

I think this total is defendable.

 

[purepak]

i must say Misbah was pure classs!

 

[Pak_Power]

just about par score.
Match can go either way, atleast it is runs on the board, after a very poor start.

Pak will have to bowl and specially feild really well to restrict them and hope saffers choke

 

[Khabri420]

Special shot outs to domestic bullies Hafeez, Latif, and Misbah.

This is why I want Sarfraz Nawaz as PCB Chairman. All of these guys (and more) would have been screwed in match fixing allegations by now

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

why everyone is talking about Misbah Only...........What about the TWO USELESS DUDS...Latif and Hafeez?????????

 

[hur rizvi]

Either South africa will win this or they will choke again


Misbah ul haq should be killed

 

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi never takes responsibility.Just bottles it and throws his wicket away time and again

 

[ads101]

Afridi's wicket was the turning point. Why doesnt he stand his base instead of trying the spectacular. Defnite blame should go to afridi. Nonsense cricket

He did very well really.

SA batting hasn't exactly fired recently so we have a chance.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Special shot outs to domestic bullies Hafeez, Latif, and Misbah.

This is why I want Sarfraz Nawaz as PCB Chairman. All of these guys (and more) would have been screwed in match fixing allegations by now

he has sharpend his knives by now )

 

[Salman_S]

Latif was a failure. That change has certainly cost Pakistan. Sami could have scored the same as Latif.

 

[chui_kadoo]

R there actually any MISBAH fans on Pakpassion?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Afridi's wicket was the turning point. Why doesnt he stand his base instead of trying the spectacular. Defnite blame should go to afridi. Nonsense cricket

Yes blame a guy who scored 30 off 18 but not people who scored 11 off 10 or 3 off 7. PP & Logic!

 

[hur rizvi]

why everyone is talking about Misbah Only...........What about the TWO USELESS DUDS...Latif and Hafeez?????????

LAtif's first chance leave him alone


Misbah and hafeez evenly crap shoot them

 

[Poison]

Blame Afridi for the Holocaust while you're at it

Was trying to milk strike for the next over because Razzaq had just came in, end of a good knock.

 

[Strike!]

SA please live up to your reputation of being chokers, Just for old times sake.

 

[TalhaSyed]

they will be looking to make this in atleast 19 for NRR sakes

 

[ads101]

Latif was a failure. That change has certainly cost Pakistan. Sami could have scored the same as Latif.

It didn't really have much logic.

 

[chui_kadoo]

He did very well really.

SA batting hasn't exactly fired recently so we have a chance.

Why did he throw his wicket away. Why move away from his wicket. That was a very low percentage shot. Why not play straight like cameron white. Hes been playing 14 years and hasnt learnt anything. He should be more responsible

 

[Darkhunter]

I think Pakistan has a good chance of winning this. Earlier I though they would score around 130. This is not bad.

 

[asad100101]

pak is lost i w ould be expecting 170 atleast

 

[TalhaSyed]

Well played Pakistan. Well played Uamr Akmal (that green lipstick was a stroke of genius). Well played Qalandar.

Match is nicely poised. I am cautiously confident.

+1

 

[Dr. Khan]

I was laughing at <b>Rehman</b>, looks like he showed up for the last game; getting two off the last ball.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Razaak was needed one down...............and the Useless DUDS Hafeez+LAtif+Misbah at 9-10-11 respectivley

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Saffers might not try to blast it at all ...

They are in a similar position to us....

Both of us would be happy if England did their homework.... They could count on England doing it , just like most of us are counting on England to make it to semis...

 

[chui_kadoo]

Yes blame a guy who scored 30 off 18 but not people who scored 11 off 10 or 3 off 7. PP & Logic!

Why did he throw his wicket away. Why move away from his wicket. That was a very low percentage shot. Why not play straight like cameron white. Hes been playing 14 years and hasnt learnt anything. He should be more responsible

 

[Maula Jutt]

Good knock by Afridi.

It's the other 'senior' dodos that need to be shot.

 

[TalhaSyed]

come on lets put real pressure on SA coz they will be going for it like theres no tmrw coz they dont only need the points but also the NRR!!!

 

[Momo]

I want Sarfraz Nawaz as PCB Chairman.

Agree completely.

 

[adzzy786]

Y we only got 1 pace baller

 

[ads101]

come on lets put real pressure on SA coz they will be going for it like theres no tmrw coz they dont only need the points but also the NRR!!!

Well no I think they'll be hoping New Zealand loose really.

They won't risk loosing the game with their cautious nature.

 

[DOOSRA95]

razzaq his days are over in international cricket

 

[WNC]

Either South africa will win this or they will choke again


Misbah ul haq should be killed

Thanks for narrowing the possibility of outcome to just two yaar, I was baffled and confused by what else could happen

I think it's defendable if we hold onto out catches, the first six overs will be crucial as always.

 

[Strike!]

Pressure will be difficult to buid because all we have are spin bowlers ffs.

 

[Ryankhan]

Shame to see misbah picked up again....it should have been misbah out for khalid latif but latif didnt do well also....great batting by Akmals n Afridi. sad to see didnt got the score we were looking for 160+ would have been much better anyway still hopefull for the best result....sad to see Razak couldnt get boundaries. Misbah should be kicked so bad in the back that he should leave cricket and become a doctor thats what he llooks like. once again bad selection only becoz of misbah...sami should had played this one....his pace n yorkers would had come in handy...i just wish, AFRIDI bowling clicks...Rehman would be KEY. SA have not face him since 3 years so hope REHMAN gets key wickets and our fielding will be very crucial.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Well no I think they'll be hoping New Zealand loose really.

They won't risk loosing the game with their cautious nature.

Knowing SA they arent like Pakistan they would want to control things themselves and not leave it to other team

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Well no I think they'll be hoping New Zealand loose really.

They won't risk loosing the game with their cautious nature.

Exactly .. why would they risk losing by playing fast.. and ensuring for certainty .. that they go out ?

At least by making the runs.. they have one foot in semifinal ....

 

[ads101]

razzaq his days are over in international cricket

What happened to him? After his brilliant innings in the last non-tournament England T20 match, we all had high expectations of him.

 

[black_98]

:umarakmal, :akmal and played well. At one stage they were getting 110 but that wont matter for south africa

 

[asian_rulez]

akmal brothers and afridi did there bit today y cant oldie misbah did the flippin same???? n people were sayn get fawad out?? atleast he wud have hit 10-20 odd

 

[ads101]

Exactly .. why would they risk losing by playing fast.. and ensuring for certainty .. that they go out ?

At least by making the runs.. they have one foot in semifinal ....

If new zealand win South Africa are going to be out. They'd have to win by quite a lot really. South Africa will definitely only focus on getting the target, whatever the no. of balls required. The target isn't low enough to make quickly with ease.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Nick Knight cant stop praising Pak after he got hammered after last years semi

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If new zealand win South Africa are going to be out. They'd have to win by quite a lot really.

If New Zealand win Pakistan are going out too ....

Both of us have equal stakes... No one is gonna destroy their chances.. just by being greedy ... At leas thas the way its on paper...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Great catch!
