Pakistan will manage to get required rate upto 6 somehow!

Hafeez

Proteas will win

Yup, a blockathon is underway! Really, really stupid batting. After that wonderful cameo from Fakhar, the last thing needed was the tuk tuk. Azhar has played his part in this mind you. That needless attempt at adventure is the reason why for the first time today that Pakistan have shaky legs. I hope that that two-wicket over doesn´t end up being the turning point, I just hope.

Good running between the wickets is the need of the hour. A partnership at a decent rate here, even if through some hard-earned singles and doubles, could slowly make the bowlers´ shoulders drop.

As I type, Babar pokes at one outside the off-stump. This uncertainty is slowing getting worrying.

Need to be 70-2 after 20 for DLS

 

[DRsohail]

hahah i said it earlier and will say it again he is the culprit for our many defeats..he has to go...

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Babar has a lower strike rate than hafeez yet everyone only blaming hafeez, poor prof

 

[Khwaja]

Ban Imran Tahir from entering Pakistan for trying to dismiss Babar!!!

 

[DHONI183]

And now, that close review will add further tension/pressure and cause more jitters, as the pair out there will tuk out further five-six overs to recover from it! Babar an as much culprit here as Hafeez.

 

[KingKhanWC]

No problem if it's only 6 left in the final over with 8 wickets in hand.

 

[IAJ]

As long ad we win this one I do not care about the run rate.

But by know you should know how Pakistan go by things. Even if opposition make 30 runs, we will look to chase it down in 50 overs, not in 5 overs.

 

[Khwaja]

Pakistan would've been 30 runs ahead DLS after Fakhar beautiful knock if Babar/Hafeez rotated strike... but they blocked 20 deliveries and counting!

 

[waqar goraya]

Parnell is not helping the cause here

 

[Slog]

As applicable today as any other time

 

[OmaIR1]

That's typical Pakistan.

They do this for every run chase, just try to hang in there and let the RRR climb and climb, then start trying to up the run rate in the last 10 but end up losing wickets.

That mentality is so 90s, you need stay in the game by keeping the score ticking, no one in the team has that ability. They are all boundary hitters so 0 or 100.

 

[JaDed]

As you bumped Hafeez made it below 5

 

[AAli98]

. This test match blockathon will see rate rise above 6... then they will try hitting out... trouble is they have no1 who can hit!!!

 

[Slog]

Oh yea.

Tho if we can keep 6+ wickets in hand still should be fine

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Today wasnt an easy wicket, NZ alao struggled to chase here againat SA.
