Pakistan vs South Africa | Multan | 4th ODI | 26/10/07 |

[Oxy]

i blame oxy for this...he asked him to get out

But think about the positives - hes out as a hero going for it rather than a greedy record seeking player - which would have happened!

 

[Sheikh]

Good innings by Younis. Selfless and extremely important. Hopefully it's not in vain.

 

[inzibhai]

Misbah Gone......

 

[Oxy]

Misbah is caught behind.

159-6 off 38.1

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor shot by younis, should have looked to bat thru!

Pak 159/5

last recognised pair at crease!

 

[inzibhai]

please someone tell Waq to shut up.....

 

[sunny92]

Thanks YK - you saved yourself a lot of hassel and accusations

Don't worry we will still find some other way to accuse him!

 

[Oxy]

This is why we shouldnt (as fans) be panicking with 13 overs still to play - last 10 overs nowq will be a LONG 10 overs.

Trust me. I'm a doctor....

 

[Pathan007]

Waq shut up please.....

he
's telling the truth. now he goes like .

 

[Hari Sombar]

What channel is the match on please ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah gone as wel and S.A into pakistan tail...

 

[Sheikh]

Poor Hash. He's going to get a shock when he gets home.

 

[the true passionist]

game over for Pakistan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 159/6 (38)

A miracle now if we bat full 50 overs or get to 200!

 

[the_game]

Our lower order looks horrible. Where is Razzaq the ODI player ?

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Hope Pakistan can win the fifth match instead

 

[Saqib]

Misbah-ul-haq looks horribel today...realy he looks some one from the tail is batting!~

 

[Pathan007]

so the series will be decided on last ODI at lahore. i hope they do well there unlike here where the batting was simply pathetic. and misbah needs to be taught a lesson on how to rotate strike.

 

[inzibhai]

waq think Gibbs played well in this/and test sereis....what has he done? m i missing antying?

or play well mean to waq is to just play good in one innings out of 10 ..

 

[Hari Sombar]

channel ? please ??

 

[Saqib]

We don't need any panic...just like in the second game we were thinking the score was just to low. We defended it realy well. We just need to bat trough the overs.

 

[Sheikh]

Our lower order looks horrible. Where is Razzaq the ODI player ?

He's retired.

 

[xbox]

Pitch is not that easy to bat but pakistan needed to score 240-250

 

[inzibhai]

i mean i mean i mean i mean...you mean what papu/

 

[Sheikh]

[Pathan007]

[the_game]

channel ? please ??

Zee sports.

 

[inzibhai]

hari its on Zee Sports on dish...#576

 

[Hari Sombar]

Its ok found it ....

 

[Sparhawk]

misbah contributed to it by not rotating the strike. and waqar agrees. misbah playing absolute shocker.

I dont think there was any pressure on younis to bat that aggressively at the time. Im not blaming him for playing his shots because it was working for him, but he could easily have waited until the 42-43 over mark before going for the big hits.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal is pakistans last hope here...

 

[NeVerMind]

Razzaq here would have been handy...guess we might still see the return of Razzler just for the basic reason that we do not have any better options! And before people say Sohail Tanvir, note that having one shot in your armour does not make a great batsman.

 

[the_game]

He's retired.

I know that Einstein! It's just that our ODI line-up looks horrible without him (No firepower in the death overs).

 

[Sheikh]

Pitch is not that easy to bat but pakistan needed to score 240-250

That looks unrealistic unless Akmal smacks a quick 50. 200-215 will be decent provided Asif and Gul take some wickets up front.

 

[Hari Sombar]

thx guys

 

[xbox]

Problem is our oppeners and even the batting order. Eventhough Younis scored runs but i I think he needs to bat lower down the order. BEcause he is one who can rotate strike. Malik is the one who has temperament and big shots who can go at 3 and score a 100.

 

[NeVerMind]

I know that Einstein! It's just that our ODI line-up looks horrible without him (No firepower in the death overs).

Nobody statys retired in Pakistan cricket!

 

[Sheikh]

I know that Einstein! It's just that our ODI line-up looks horrible without him (No firepower in the death overs).

Then why did you ask where he is? Until he comes out of retirement you're going to have to live with our ''horrible'' odi line-up that's leading the series 2-1.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Hahaha Waqar said Pakistan were t20 champions!!

 

[Sparhawk]

That looks unrealistic unless Akmal smacks a quick 50. 200-215 will be decent provided Asif and Gul take some wickets up front.

Followed by afridi. If we can get 210 i think it will be a fighting total.

Sheikh bhaijan, it was a cry for help more than anything else (and rhetorical, to be honest)! I am used to a batting line-up that extends to number 9 (mainly due to the past few years of Pakistani ODI cricket).

 

[shafkath]

ntini's spell completed, we need to get after there weaker bowlers lke botha

 

[inzibhai]

waq is an moron and he should be kicked out along zaheer and mushy...i wouldn't mind all SAF team in the box...

 

[Sheikh]

Fair enough. Ultimately you gotta play with what's available and right now Razzler isn't. Dropping Tanvir was questionable, but hopefully it'll be justifeid by our impending bowling performance.

 

[Sheikh]

waq is an moron and he should be kicked out along zaheer and mushy...i wouldn't mind all SAF team in the box...

I'd rather have an all Pak team than an all SAF team anyday!


Please take comedic value into consideration.

 

[shafkath]

CRICINFO: 42.1 Morkel to Kamran Akmal, no run, homing in on the middle stump line, pushed back to the bowler
A big banner is held by some young men: "Cricket is missing you Inzi uncle" Uncle?! Hmm... LOL

 

[Sparhawk]

I hope akmal doesnt go looking for boundaries now, singles would do just fine for the next 5 overs.

 

[NeVerMind]

ntini's spell completed, we need to get after there weaker bowlers lke botha

Botha a weaker bowler? Akmal and Rehman will make him look like Shane Warne!

 

[inzibhai]

have SAF batted yet? dont think so...i dont see any reason why we can't them out for lower total...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 171/6

210 maybe at best?

 

[shafkath]

Akmal Takes 5 Balls To Get A Single While Rehman Gets A Single Off His First Ball

 

[shafkath]

Botha a weaker bowler? Akmal and Rehman will make him look like Shane Warne!

LOL you've got a point

 

[Oxy]

How was Afridi out this morning?

 

[Isolation]

How was Afridi out this morning?

Went for a six

 

[inzibhai]

Oxy....pull a short pitch stright to mid on...

 

[Oxy]

Jackass mate - thats a foot outside legstump! As wide as they come!

He's getting annoying now.

 

[inzibhai]

someone tell Robin Jackass anything on the leg side is wide ball ....stop whininging

 

[Sparhawk]

Wide ball! Every run counts

 

[Oxy]

Afridi - unluck y or 'as normal'?

 

[Sheikh]

Ticking towards 180 now. Run a ball from the last 5 will take us to 210.

 

[inzibhai]

Oxy no it was smith fault that he had a fielder there......

 

[Isolation]

 

[shafkath]

Spinners Bowling Surely Akmals Got To Get Some Runs On The Board Now

 

[shafkath]

4 Leg Byes Top Stuff

 

[Sheikh]

Afridi - unluck y or 'as normal'?

Mis-hit pull to mid-on. Seen it a 100 times before, so you tell me?

 

[inzibhai]

44444444444444 Kami opening up....

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Come on Kaaaami!!

 

[inzibhai]

can we get 35-40 in these last 4 over or so?

 

[Sparhawk]

4 Leg Byes Top Stuff

It was an ingenious shot, he pretended to play the reverse sweep and used his leg to hit it thru fine leg for four!

4 more!!! Useful runs.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

210....with our bowlers....is this match gone?!

 

[Oxy]

191-6

Kami is capable of a last over onslaught (as v the Windies) 2 years ago....

 

[Oxy]

Not a bad little p/ship - got us back into the game.

 

[Oxy]

Rehman gets 2

195-6

 

[Sparhawk]

210....with our bowlers....is this match gone?!

Not at all. Unless SA have a big opening partnership this should be match on.

 

[inzibhai]

yeah good partnership ....need another 35-40 runs.....

and thats called wide....

and i know Robin Jackass is whining about it...

 

[Sparhawk]

Jackass dont be absurd, that was a completely fair call. Wide by a couple of inches..... jackass!

 

[The Chaudrey]

Not a bad little p/ship - got us back into the game.

Is this pitch difficult to bat on? If so, a target of 210/220 could be testing for opposition. All depends on how well Asif/ Gul bowl first up. if SA do not get off to a flier then Afridi and Rehman can bring us into the game with their restrictive bowling

 

[inzibhai]

time for AR to get out.....Rao can hit some shots....

 

[xbox]

I think Rao is a better batsmen compare to rehman
