Pakistan vs South Africa | Lahore | 2nd ODI | 20/10/07 | SA Innings

[the true passionist]

Oh dear, Oh dear!

 

[iafzal]

Asad come on man this was not out

 

[iafzal]

Ok that ball was going to hit the wkt it but per rules it was not out as the ball pitched 6 inches outside the wkts and then hit on off stump.

No doubt Rao has bowled an eceptional spell.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Kemp goes.... Rao on fire...!!

 

[thurkeebaba]

that was a brilliant decision -- only brave umpires are capable of giving that out, but it was deifinitely out.. Hit the batsman just in line and was definitely going to hit off/middle stump!

 

[aussie-pak]

) @ afridi


kemp GONE! boucher to bat next i guess.

 

[12thMan]

Ok that ball was going to hit the wkt it but per rules it was not out as the ball pitched 6 inches outside the wkts and then hit on off stump.

there is no such rule. Did it hit the batsman in line or not is the question here

 

[xbox]

that was a very close call..kemp also had a bad luck in first game when Ghor gave him lbw

 

[saffer]

south africa will lose this easily..pitch is unplayable now .

 

[shabbu1]

Cricket is a great leveller , that decision was a little circumspect i'd say.

 

[smoothcriminal]

Well.. I feel like Kemp was unlucky there, and the fact that it came so late from Rauf. I only wish there were 2 neutral umpires inodi's as well.. sigh.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Ok that ball was going to hit the wkt it but per rules it was not out as the ball pitched 6 inches outside the wkts and then hit on off stump.

No doubt Rao has bowled an eceptional spell.

Pitched just outside off;
hit the batsman in line;
was going to hit off stump;
batsman was NOT too forward...

For me that's out !

 

[12thMan]

Waqar and Bishop are happy with the decision

 

[darkmoon459]

Shabbu stop using such big words , will ya )

 

[inzamam_1]

Waqar - "Smith is trying hard to get out but pakistani fielders are denying him" LOL !!

 

[FAM]

Another good over by Ifti.

 

[FAM]

Waqar - "Smith is trying hard to get out but pakistani fielders are denying him" LOL !!

ROFL! )

 

[12thMan]

Waqar - "Smith is trying hard to get out but pakistani fielders are denying him" LOL !!

classic

 

[MIG]

south africa will lose this easily..pitch is unplayable now .

As is the umpire, apparently

 

[iafzal]

If the last was LBW then Afridi's should have been out too

 

[Saj]

Rao and Afridi have bowled superbly in tandem.

Another huge appeal from Afridi. You wont get anything from Bowden - he may as well be wearing a SA shirt.

 

[FAM]

Required RR:6.42

 

[Raz]

Rao and Afridi have bowled superbly in tandem.

Another huge appeal from Afridi. You wont get anything from Bowden - he may as well be wearing a SA shirt.

Thats three appeals turned down, one of which was definately out, the other two there was some doubt. Bowden has screwed us in the past, I can remember a few occasions

 

[the true passionist]

No sign of Rehman yet...is Younis missing a trick especially when Malik may not bowl.

 

[iafzal]

Rao has perhaps bowled one of his best spells in a ODI today.

28 runs off 8 ov and 2wkts (could have been 3 or 4)

 

[FAM]

Iftikhar has been given the second official warning for running onto the pitch.

100 up for SA

 

[xbox]

seriously with this speed of Rao right now Kamran should come up to the stumps. Guy is so accurate will put an extra pressure on batsman

 

[the true passionist]

Rao has perhaps bowled one of his best spells in a ODI today.

28 runs off 8 ov and 2wkts (could have been 3 or 4)

He bowled pretty well in W.I and before that in SAF.

 

[FAM]

I think he bowled well in WC too.

 

[aussie-pak]

Waqar - "Smith is trying hard to get out but pakistani fielders are denying him" LOL !!

) classic!

 

[the true passionist]

The Morkel guy can hit a couple big ones and bring down the req. run rate.

 

[Saj]

Afridi varying it very cleverly here. Slowing the pace, offies, leggies, toppies, its all there.

 

[iafzal]

He bowled pretty well in W.I and before that in SAF.

that is why one of his best. I have seen him bowl very economical a few times just not a big wkt taker but today he is doing that too.

 

[FAM]

50 for Smith.

 

[12thMan]

SA 106-4 after 26 overs
Rehman on

 

[xbox]

I think they should take off Afridi now. In last he bowled 6 straight overs pretty good then last 4 overs he didnt. Probably got tired. I think he needs to stop and bowl rest of the 4 overs in set of 2s.

 

[FAM]

Rehman comes into the attack.

 

[iafzal]

ASAD has gne Kooku now. how can that be wide?

 

[iafzal]

Nice first over from Abdur

 

[FAM]

Good start by Rehman. 3 off the over. Required RR:6.78

 

[xbox]

Why don't they have a big enough sidescreen so they don't have to move back n forth?

 

[12thMan]

SA 109-4 after 27 overs
PepsiMobile on the ground

 

[dinakar]

seems SA have given up the match!! so dull batting...

 

[Gunner786]

seems SA have given up the match!! so dull batting...

they know they have plenty more big hitters to come and pakistan dont have a good death bowler apart from gul

 

[the true passionist]

oh man really missing LHR here!

 

[Saj]

I know this is hypothetical but I have to say this - YK is so much a better captain than Malik. His field settings, his presence, his tactics.

 

[P4K1 #1]

how come YK is captaining?? wheres malik?

 

[the true passionist]

I know this is hypothetical but I have to say this - YK is so much a better captain than Malik. His field settings, his presence, his tactics.

i second

 

[Momo]

What is the rule regarding wides down leg side?
Isnt Rauf getting it all wrong?

 

[nosferatu372]

I know this is hypothetical but I have to say this - YK is so much a better captain than Malik. His field settings, his presence, his tactics.

Well that was why he was offered the captaincy. Although he too made mistakes during the champions trophy in india. I think malik just needs to be given time

 

[Saj]

slightly slower from Afridi. Again clever bowling from Afridi.

Neat caught and bowled - au revoir Boucher (gawd I hate him)

 

[saffer]

Boucher gone .Should be the game .

 

[12thMan]

Boucher out c& b Afridi
SA 125-5
com'on lads finish it quickly. T20 starts in 35 some min

 

[Saj]

how come YK is captaining?? wheres malik?

leg injury earlier in the innings.

Dew out there at the moment.

Polly is in.

 

[Saj]

Rehman keeping it tight here and getting some sharp spin. Varying his pace nicely too.

 

[FAM]

Required RR is above 7.

 

[12thMan]

Hi I'm Salman Butt and you are watching Zee Sports
They also have one of YK (english)) and Arshad Khan (urdu)

 

[Saj]

133 needed from 102 balls

Pak in the driving seat but SA bat a long way down.

 

[the true passionist]

133 needed from 102 balls

Pak in the driving seat but SA bat a long way down.

a couple good overs can really bring SAF back into the game.

 

[Saj]

Gone Smith - finally he's caught.

Rehman-nice catch from Akmal - bottom edge

 

[12thMan]

Afridi finishes his 10 overs 1-41
SA 140-5 after 34 overs - need 126 to win
ball change

 

[FAM]

Smith gone - finally!

 

[12thMan]

Smith out ct behind off Rehman
SA 140-6 after 34.2 overs

 

[the true passionist]

smith gone...should now be all over.

 

[aussie-pak]

congrats to pakistan. good match. they deserved this victory. dont no what won it for them, the bat or the ball?

 

[Plasma]

w00t we are winning!! slept for 4 hours and wake up to see smiths wicket.

 

[FAM]

Wicket maiden by Rehman.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Where are the guys complaining about selfish Yousuf now?

 

[Saj]

Umar Gul back on now.

Lets see them yorkers Gully.

rrr 8.40

 

[FAM]

Gul's back into the attack.

 

[the true passionist]

Butt just earned a recall with that dive!
He is now our best fielder for the day

 

[Saj]

Where are the guys complaining about selfish Yousuf now?

nice one

If it wasnt for MY. We'd be watching the presentation now with Smith being given the winners cheque.

 

[Momo]

congrats to pakistan. good match. they deserved this victory. dont no what won it for them, the bat or the ball?

For other teams it may be okay but jumping the gun when Pakistan is concerned can cause you to lose the very shirt you are wearing.

 

[pakistani]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Zee Sports Just Switched To Indias Match

 

[Saj]

poor, poor, poor stuff from Gul.

Gentle half volleys and now a wide.

 

[Sparhawk]

Thats the second time in this ODI series ive heard Robin Jackman say: "That'l be four.... (after fielder stops it comfortably) no it won't"

 

[Saj]

better from Gul and followed by some verbals.

Gul looks quite scary when he's angry

 

[12thMan]

great Zee channel has switched to T20 game.

 

[P4K1 #1]

thats good.. pakistan have won the match and now to watch some T20

 

[xbox]
