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

[hur rizvi]

No Morne Morkel - very shocked. Pakistan HATE bounce.

Shocking move by smith

 

[Mian Hassan]

Botha will open bowling

 

[Mian Hassan]

Morne morkel is too predictable

 

[The Slogger]

Cricinfo's take on the pitch:

"Pitch: Dry slow pitch. Not much bounce on offer. It should turn a bit."

 

[Alam_dar]

If you are unable to pass the time (next 20 minutes), then just listen to this Pakistani National Song "Pakistani Tujhay Salam" and you will feel yourself relaxed.

Botha will open bowling

Hope he gets no-balled.

 

[khalil1986]

Loving it if Morkel isnt playing

 

[Tiger316]

For me my head says drop Hafeez for.....anyone ...but my heart says that after his performance in the last match with the ball the spin factor could be the deciding factor.

Also drop Misbah for Alam or even Azam.

We defo need plenty of spinners and the batsmen need to fire! Afridi needs to come in up the order so he gets time in the middle soming like what happened in last years Semi Final.

Razzaq found some form in the last match mashallah so leave him down the order for the late struggle.

We should look to do what we did last time with posting a score then looking to choke SA with our spinners.

Not sure how easy that would be tho with the form that has been with the ball (and bat for that matter) and no

What a negative strategy would it be to keep Razzaq lower down the order based on the fact that he played well under pressure. Instead of sending him up the order to avoid the crisis, keep him there to face the crisis. This is what Pakistani thinking is normally, why is entirely the reason why they lose. They keep their best batsmen for the end, other teams send them at the very top.

 

[sarmad1983]

akmal should lay into steyn..... blazing start is key....

 

[muchacho]

I would have gone with Hammad Azam instead of Hafeez. I'm surprised Sami's the only exclusion. They're probably thinking they have no other choice than to play Misbah and Hafeez or they're just showing great comradery!
ah - anyway, com'on boys!

 

[AZ]

akmal should lay into steyn..... blazing start is key....

more likely that Steyn will lay him out...

 

[CricketBuff]

Fawwad Alam should have been in and grandpa Misbah should have been out.

 

[Sakss]

thres not much bounce in the pitch hence no morne

 

[khalil1986]

akmal should lay into steyn..... blazing start is key....

Uh no, if he is bowling well than see him off please we can get the runs from the spinners

 

[hur rizvi]

Botha will open bowling

Insha Allah akmal will take him apart

 

[sarmad1983]

more likely that Steyn will lay him out...

did u forget that str8 six in last WC's semis?? on a bouncy pitch, i wud back steyn but on a slow pitch..... go AKMAL!!

 

[*sallu*]

Misbah should have been left out

Ridiculous selections

 

[GLORY OF '92]

If we get 170+ we win. Below 160 SA.

[khalil1986]

Steyn is world class he can take pitch out of equation.

 

[Strike!]

Ok, It's starting soon.

 

[pak4life]

much better team selection razzaq can share the 5th bowler slot with hafeez. Im sure two overs will not harm such a lazy cricketer.

 

[The Slogger]

i want a 180 score atleast

 

[Sakss]

ya what a shot that was....

Slow song - mirrors our team's performance so far

 

[sannah12]

Then what happened the next ball...?

 

[Sledger]

Steyn is world class he can take pitch out of equation.

Steyn has been off-colour in this tournament, he's out of form.


Expect him to look world class after this game then.

 

[Sakss]

ok.....i cant wait to get outa work now...lol

gettin nervous..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Misbah BETTER deliver.

 

[hashman]

still 15 mins left. I got bloody test in 9 and a half hours. Hopefully Pakistan can bat well enough for me to try sleeping after first innings.

 

[khalil1986]

Steyn has been off-colour in this tournament, he's out of form.

We are good like that :Sami

 

[hur rizvi]

Shoaib Akhtar Predicting Pakistan will score 190


LOL

 

[Pak_Power]

It should have been Hammad in for Misbah!

 

[Poison]

Shahid Afridi is a golden man.

'I would like to bat...morale is quite high '

Anyone else notice how he always says 'thanks man' to anybody, no matter who's there at the toss lol

 

[ali110]

oh crap. Hafeez again. I just wish him bad luck and hope he get injured and never play for Pakistan again (since that's only way to keep this leaches away from team).

 

[*sallu*]

Shoaib Akhtar Predicting Pakistan will score 190

LOL
Shoaib Akhtar hasn't changed a bit has he

[usman7]

[The Slogger]

i am kinda shivering lol

 

[khalil1986]

oh crap. Hafeez again. I just wish him bad luck and hope he get injured and never play for Pakistan again (since that's only way to keep this leaches away from team).

Pathetic, he is playing now so bloody back him please

 

[ali110]

I wouldn't be surprise at all, if after this match, PPer's fans will be asking to make Hafeez captain of T20 after he scores 38 not out in 23 balls in losing cause.

 

[Sledger]

People shouldn't be nervous about this game. Keep expectations low.

I'm expecting a thrashing and am completely relaxed.

 

[khalil1986]

i am kinda shivering lol

Must be cold

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez... scores 38 not out in 23 balls in losing cause.

Talk about being optimistic.

 

[Poison]

Nasser just called South Africa a team of chokers

 

[sarmad1983]

Then what happened the next ball...?

brain fart from Kakmal, but we are used to that..... no one wants a 95 off 43 from him.... 35 off 21 will do ... i make realistic requests

 

[ali110]

Pathetic, he is playing now so bloody back him please[/QUOTE
Zardari is your president and Ganga is your opposition leader, Back them, please!

 

[Strike!]

Ground looks empty, Granted its 9:30 am there but still.

That's the way to go with these pathetic losers or so called cricketers.

 

[Sledger]

Sky hype up Pakistan's "2 big hitters" before every game and they've failed each time.

 

[moiez_no1]

i feel a batting collapse

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Is Shastri in the commentary box? would love to hear his voice when Pakistan wins. Remember the other day when Aussie boys were trashing us and he was all laughing in the commentary box....

 

[t_kaay]

come on pakistan.....the 11 players that have been picked have our hopes in their hands, lets back them all. they will deliver today.....inshallah

 

[ShehryarK]

Nasser just called South Africa a team of chokers

LOL yep that was so classically done by Nass.

No love lost between the English and the Saffers.

And Nass is from the generation of Englishmen that still believes in Pak being "cornered tigers".

 

[Sledger]

i feel a batting collapse

This is a natural feeling to have.

It usually comes true also.

 

[muchacho]

Just wondering, did Hammad Azam do anything to tick Afridi off? He should have been playing from Game 1! Bechara Fawad.. he deserves to be in the team more than hafeez & misbah.

 

[t_kaay]

Sky hype up Pakistan's "2 big hitters" before every game and they've failed each time.

that made me smile too........its time for afridi to perform

 

[Poison]

There's some serious losers posting here, even established so called respected posters. Support the team and stop crying.

 

[Pak_Power]

Good luck to Pak and all PPers

 

[purepak]

same here

 

[deviously~fading~away]

anyone know the name of the song played before the national anthems?

 

[ShehryarK]

Sky hype up Pakistan's "2 big hitters" before every game and they've failed each time.

Its not Sky, its ESPN it the guys producing the World Cup for the ICC

 

[moiez_no1]

165-170 should be defendable

 

[KingKhanWC]

Just wondering, did Hammad Azam do anything to tick Afridi off? He should have been playing from Game 1! Bechara Fawad.. he deserves to be in the team more than hafeez & misbah.

Exactly, why bring him if he won't play?

A good batting perfmorance is required. has been outstanding so far, the rest need to follow his lead.

Khalid Latif?

 

[talal12345]

Nerves kicking in now

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

???

how can u be expecting a thrashing. thats a naieve statement to make based on past performances and pakistans record in these situations epecially in T20.

 

[The Slogger]

This is it.

 

[Sakss]

y is cricinfo se dead today?????

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The national anthem always brings in be the biggest spirit of patriotism in me.... its always worth listening to it again and again

Go Pakistan .. murder them Saffers...

 

[Pak_Power]

150+ and Pak can choke saffer. InshAllah!!

 

[ShehryarK]

i feel a batting collapse

I don't. We will win Insha Allah

 

[Sledger]

Its not Sky, its ESPN it the guys producing the World Cup for the ICC

Do ESPN show the same montage? I thought it was done by Sky.

Nick Knight wants Afridi floating, says Pakistan can take pressure.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

we need run rate of 10.0

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hope he gets no-balled.

Unfortunately,we dont have Darell Hair when we needed him the most...

 

[deviously~fading~away]

PAK spinners really choked NZ the other day to 133. I feel 150 would be a winnable score for Pakistan

 

[t_kaay]

here we go....................................

 

[ZAK]

Here we go...

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I believe in Pakistan. YOu can do it boys...

 

[Sledger]

???

Don't get confused. I'm supporting Pakistan, but being realistic.
Pakistan have been woeful in this tournament, I'm going on form. Hope they prove me wrong.
