[Invincible Gujjar]

Well that was some shot by fakhar

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

BLAMM!!!

That was some hit!

 

[msb314]

Good by Fakhar by hoicking to the leg side

 

[MRSN]

Sarfraz looks relaxed...

So does his tummy

 

[saeed5646]

Thas was awesome bat speed
Amazing from fakhar

 

[uberkoen]

oh you beauty!

 

[big_gamer007]

Excellent start from.these two, shutting up all the critics.

350+ is on the board.

 

[Grunge101]

A common tactic to boost the morale of the players after losing the toss. People tend to fall for it easily.

Are u then implying that the other 10 players in the team have no idea before the toss what their captain is going to do if he wins the toss?

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think nobody told pakistani team that they can still make semis so they are playing carefree cricket.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a shot that was...

 

[kingusama92]

@ the fielder's face.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

One of these needs to go on and hit a hundred.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Boyz are fired up

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Boom Fakhar looking good

 

[Snatch]

Wow, ball is doing nothing. Looks like a perfect pitch with nothing in it for the pacers.

Good toss to win Pakistan.

 

[rockyboy2018]

are they wearing cornered tigers t-shirts inside ?

 

[Mamoon]

What guarantee you will give if same thing was said by sarfraz

Sarfraz isn’t smart enough.

 

[Mueez]

One heck of a shot.

 

[saeed5646]

@ the fielder's face.

His name is so difficult to type his nick name is andile

 

[usmankhanmlg]

One of these needs to go on and hit a hundred.

Not happening.

 

[MMHS]

SAF is shell shocked here - they were planning to bowl here as well!!!! Need to keep this pressure up, until they breaks down.

 

[Rifaqat]

People wanted intent, they're getting it.

Four more.

Too little too late..

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Imam needs to rotate the strike

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lungi is another overrated Saffer bowler.

 

[Markhor]

It's a typical Pakistan performance when expectations are low. However you gotta take your good performances when they come.

Positive start.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

South Africa is rooted on bottom of the table with Pakistan and there is a reason for that.

 

[watchman99]

This is the freedom of batting first

 

[saeed5646]

Too many dot ball .this is where indian batsmen are very good

 

[MRSN]

Boyz are fired up

Because boys have been technically knocked out

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

So does his tummy

Body shamming
No difference between you and those in those abusive viral videos.

 

[Mamoon]

Are u then implying that the other 10 players in the team have no idea before the toss what their captain is going to do if he wins the toss?

They do, but when the captains tells the world that he is happy with the decision of the opposition to bat/bowl, it gives the players confidence.

South African bowlers don’t want their captain to say that he is not happy to be bowling first.

 

[amirm]

Too many dot ball .this is where indian batsmen are very good

I agree

 

[saeedhk]

Shoaib "ive never seen Imam play a cover drive"
Imam " take that"

Lol. He plays a drive after playing so many matches and you’re proud? Shows how low our standards are. I stand with Akhtar on this one. Imam is the most 1 dimensional player, especially for an opener.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fakhar trying to be too hard

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Plays and miss

 

[Zeshan547]

Had hai Yar, log aaj b complain kr rahay hain, what else you guys want, chulo bhar pani, I guess

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good over by rabada.

 

[Markhor]

We need FBI to fire today to get a good total.

No faith in the lower order.

 

[msb314]

Fakhar trying to slog every ball haha

 

[saeed5646]

Not smart batting .please fakhar don't give rabada a sniff

 

[uberkoen]

Not happening.

Because both will do it?

 

[jiduguravindra]

Lungi and rabada are very poor in this wc.Apart from their batting,thier bowling lead them down big time...

 

[pakistanisgreat]

An over without a boundary

 

[Mueez]

We need FBI to fire today to get a good total.

No faith in the lower order.

I like this ‘FBI’ name

 

[shah_1]

Lungi is another overrated Saffer bowler.

He has lost all the pace after recent injury, doesn't look fully fit

 

[Gullycricket]

We need FBI to fire today to get a good total.

No faith in the lower order.

Ha ha nice one FBI.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Because boys have been technically knocked out

Do you even know what technically means??

They're realistically out but still technically in

 

[imshally81]

:

 

[Mueez]

4 runs!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

4444

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Too many dot ball .this is where indian batsmen are very good

When you are seeing off the new ball I wouldn't worry about that.

 

[big_gamer007]

South Africans don't know what hit them. Brilliant by imam and fakhar

 

[Asif321]

Thank god we batted first

 

[imshally81]

50 for Pakistan

 

[saeedhk]

These guys should be ashamed of themselves. Playing for themselves. They’re trying to save themselves. Why didnt perchee show intent in the previous matches? Now that he sees people throwing stones at him and he plays aggressively. Shameless.

 

[WebGuru]

Imam saw some of those old Anwar videos from 90s i guess

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

:

 

[msb314]

Another 4 by Imam here

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imam is playing beautifully

 

[Markhor]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] - back on the topic of 10.30AM starts at Lord's and the 1999 WC final. There is one major difference from then and today - the pathetic nonswinging white Kookaburra whereas 99 WC featured the rock hard white Dukes that kept its shine for longer.

 

[pillionrider]

Only 280+ posts for this start?

Many Pak fans = fairweather fans

 

[ARK Rafay]

Saffers aren't doing wrong actually. They bowled to their plan which was to ball a little full to get movement or swing of the pitch (because it is a little green) but instead nothing is happening and Pakistan are pouncing on that length.

Saffers need to pull back their length a little bit. Plan B.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

They do, but when the captains tells the world that he is happy with the decision of the opposition to bat/bowl, it gives the players confidence.

South African bowlers don’t want their captain to say that he is not happy to be bowling first.

I think you're clutching at straws here.

 

[saeed5646]

Pakistan opener have done not bad in worldcup
69 in 10 against england
50 in 7 over against Sa
Doesn't remember other 2

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Common boys take singles after a boundary

 

[Afhan Ali]

Batting second against Aussies and India was a disaster

 

[WebGuru]

Pakistan Army Chief in Stadium

 

[Grunge101]

They do, but when the captains tells the world that he is happy with the decision of the opposition to bat/bowl, it gives the players confidence.

Fair enough i guess.

 

[JibranAnsari]

lucky.

 

[Abdullah719]

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. Saffers look defeated already.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Edge and 44

 

[Boi]

South Africa look like a team who cant wait to board the flight back home.

 

[msb314]

Haha lucky

 

[ARK Rafay]

Keeper and Slipper look at each other. Bhanja/Bhatija gets a life

 

[saeed5646]

Oh lucky boundary. Imam sahab you cannot hit every boundary on front foot

 

[MRSN]

Do you even know what technically means??

They're realistically out but still technically in

Whatever. Their life depends on England and Australia.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

SA paying the price for not backing their pace bowlers with the new ball.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Amla is our bhai

 

[Mamoon]

I think you're clutching at straws here.

You can believe whatever you want.
