Pakistan vs South Africa | Lahore | 1st ODI (updates)

[Usman Chadda]

Our answer to Razzaq, Sohail Tanvir. And this guy looks a much better player and seems to have more shots in his arsenal. Unlike Razzaq, he doesnt have the block or bash approach but this guy can play some awesome orthodox shots for sixes!

 

[FAM]

rao has an average of 31....??

Lol. A couple matches ago, he had an average of 70.

 

[faizpak]

42.3 Langeveldt to Iftikhar Anjum, no run, short in length, landed outside off stump and cut away, Rao pushes at it and is beaten. Afridi walks over and offers some words of advice to Rao Iftikhar Anjum.

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi having a go at Rao.

It looked like Afridi said, either make a single or hit a boundary.

 

[down4whatever]

Afridi must be telling Rao to not swing at anything so he can get the strike in the next over.

 

[SameerM]

razzaq for ball boy - tanvir for president

and his last 4 deliveries?
razzaq would have smashed them for 4s and 6s

 

[down4whatever]

lol Anjum. How the heck does he have a 31 average?

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi about to get the strike, he'll be bowled attempting to hoik a six

 

[12thMan]

Anjuman Bradman having a little problem. I hope they don't take a single thios last ball.. only wides are scoring this over. Afridi probably has not faced a ball in last 15 balls

 

[Mercenary]

wide down the legside off the first ball, Afridi swings and misses

 

[faizpak]

42.6 Langeveldt to Iftikhar Anjum, no run, homing in on the off stump, pushed to mid-off. Now or never for Afridi

 

[Usman Chadda]

and his last 4 deliveries?
razzaq would have smashed them for 4s and 6s

Well thats not what we can predict. Razzaq looked horribly out of touch last time he batted and he was struggling to get the ball past the inner ring

 

[salman24]

and his last 4 deliveries?
razzaq would have smashed them for 4s and 6s

Yeah he would have
People here still underestimate razzaq after all he has done
Quite surprising
Razzaq is still the man in these situations

 

[down4whatever]

Kallis hasnt bolwed anything but slower balls since being hit for a Six.

 

[SameerM]

44444444444

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi picks the ball up and it falls just short of the fielder andslips past him for 4

 

[inzidabest]

[Usman Chadda]

This seems an impossible task for even the likes of Afridi!

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi inside edges it for 4

 

[filosofee]

Too much for Afridi to do.

 

[SameerM]

[faizpak]

Afridi : 4 4

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi hits it down the ground for a single, Rao on strike

 

[Mercenary]

Rao hits it down the ground, the steal a single. Afridi back on strike

 

[slix10]

Kallis is such a wuss.

 

[inzidabest]

[Mercenary]

Afridi blazes it down the ground, goes for 4

 

[faizpak]

44444444

 

[Mercenary]

4444444444

 

[CricnPak]

never thought I'd say this, but afridi's using some brain

 

[Plasma]

16 of the over

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi is keeping us in the game but haters will say he's just scoring in a dead situation

 

[12thMan]

Afridi says Tayar rehna and takes a single to retain strike

 

[Isolation]

Afridi Owned Kallis 2day!!

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi shouting at Rao to give him a single

 

[inzidabest]

single of the first ball..Afridi thinks he is batting with Inzamam

 

[Gunner786]

i have a feeling langdvelt will polish the last 2 off here

afridi will be left stranded

 

[Mercenary]

Rao goes on better and drives it for a 4

 

[12thMan]

says ajao ajao ajao to rao and takes a single on first ball

 

[aussie-pak]

FOUR! from rao!

 

[faizpak]

44.2 Langeveldt to Iftikhar Anjum, FOUR, Ah! Rao says he can bat. Fullish, outside off stump and Rao creamed it through extra cover

:d

 

[Mercenary]

Rao fends the ball and Afridi runs through to take the strike

 

[filosofee]

57 off 34!

 

[Plasma]

Pakistan innings 	 R  	B  	4s  	6s  	SR  	
Mohammad Hafeez 	 6 	24 	0 	0 	 25.00 	
Imran Nazir 		16	10 	3 	0 	160.00 	
Younis Khan 		12 	 8 	2 	0 	150.00 	
Mohammad Yousuf 	53 	75 	3 	0 	 70.66

Kamran Akmal 		35 	55 	3 	0 	 63.63 	
Sohail Tanvir 		26 	17 	1 	2 	152.94

Everybody got a decent start but no "long" innings from anybody - except may be from Yousaf!

 

[shahidrazzaq]

Wooot Woot! Go Rao And Afridi!

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi takes two

 

[Iqbal'sh]

How many times have we seen Pak in this position.

If only they used their brains in the early part of the innings and kept WICKETS in hand.

Late overs hitting is a Pak speciality, but they always behind the eight-ball in terms of wickets lost.

 

[down4whatever]

Hafeez should take some batting lessons from our bowlers.

 

[SameerM]

afridi batting with great responsibility and patience

ramadan must have done him so much goodness

 

[aussie-pak]

pak need a six or a four of this over to stay with the RRR

 

[Amjid Javed]

Come on boom boom win pakistan the game!

 

[Mercenary]

Afridi walks across the crease and plays a cheeky scoop shot which barely misses the fielders hand and goes for 4

 

[shahidrazzaq]

dang! never seen afridi saving PAK like this before!

 

[aussie-pak]

OMG afridi ?! its a four!

 

[faizpak]

44.5 Langeveldt to Shahid Afridi, FOUR

 

[filosofee]

[Mercenary]

Afridi misses the ball and Rao is on strike for the next over

 

[SameerM]

[Mercenary]

Rao swings, it goes to the offside over the inner field but only gets a single

 

[down4whatever]
