S Africa v Pakistan | 2015 WC | Group B 29th Match | 7th March '15 | Auckland | Pakistan innings

[Aloo Chaat]

Risky singles here but we need to keep rotating so good job

 

[Arsal_AK]

Singles.


Is this Pakistan??

 

[imshally81]

Need to carry the momentum

 

[the Great Khan]

I hope [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] and his chamchas will shut up for a while

theyll be back if we mess up..

 

[taqi]

good start given by sarfraz lets cash on

 

[Idreamofcricket]

i am crying blood tears. why why why?!?!?!?!?

Don't feel bad brother. Sarfaraz did more than expected.

He will make us even prouder in future matches.

Steyn's tattooed left arm looks hideous. Seems as though it is infected.

 

[Dhonian]

I'm impressed with the running. You guys weren't doing these before

 

[On_the_up]

Run out looks like a good bowler today.

 

[Bilsher007]

Really feel for Sarfraz - deserved the 50.

He shouls have avoided the second run.

 

[Noork85]

he did. my heart is still crying. is there a crying emoji? quite befitting.
he was an attacking player...looked well set and deserved beyond a 50. confident player. too bad the pak management brought him in to play so late in the tour.

 

[FreeBird]

I think if we get 270 plus score then we can win this match.

lol... have you seen the size of the ground? SA will reach 270 in 35 overs

 

[MMHS]

This is one of the worst tactical mistake that I have seen. AB clearly has 10 overs shortage & he is trying to get as many of those out early - Sarf understood the plot & counter attacked, then threw his wicket, which probably 'll cost PAK at least 35 runs at the end. Both the wickets today went for fielding & I can't understand why PAK players in general is dumb. Now, Misbah can't go for shots while since Sarfraz has scored & he is a better WK, YK 'll have to play as selfish as possible to keep his spot. I see a big decline in scoring rate.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Man, I still cant get over that runnout.

He was looking so so good.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

105/2 after 20 overs would be good.

 

[akamaka]

best thing we have done today is picked which bowlers to attack and which ones to see off.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Younis Khan, the master of getting others run out.

Easy there, it was Sarfraz himself who wanted to come back for the second.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

theyll be back if we mess up..

We will not mess up today. Allah is shining his grace on us. We will be unstoppable from here on inshallah.

[Saffer_XIII]

Great over by Steyn.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This partnership is very important.

 

[imshally81]

So finally we found the opener in the 5th Match of World Cup 2015

 

[Jabo]

Oh shhhh wasim

Has seen yk innings since coming here

 

[LegendInzi]

whats the rain latest prediction guys?

It will be a travesty if out of all days. it gets washed out today when we are doing well

 

[Azzurri]

I hate former cricketers they think they know everything > referring to wasim on playing younis in every game and sarfraz being useless as an opener

 

[Bilsher007]

We should maintain our run rate above 5 an over..and milk part timers.

 

[akamaka]

wasim now saying i would've played younis in every game

 

[Noork85]

Steyn's tattooed left arm looks hideous. Seems as though it is infected.

I feel Misbah will continue the momentum, we saw him bat last game and he knows what is required. Younis is also looking good out there, may not get enough boundaries but these old timers can milk the singles and doubles.

hopefully they won't get tired.

 

[Gone]

Wasim wanted YK to play in every game of the WC, apparently his experience is going to come in handy.

 

[On_the_up]

95-2

The platform is set, Must keep the scoreboard ticking with singles.

Cant afford to risk any more wkts now.

 

[Thivagar]

Expecting atleast 3 threads on Sarfraz's run out

True.

They should go after JP. Misbah and YK too are well capable of clearing the ropes vs spin.

 

[Shafi]

Younis Khan again????

 

[Bilsher007]

We will not mess up today. Allah is shining his grace on us. We will be unstoppable from here on inshallah.

IN SHA ALLAH.. momentum is with Pakistan.

 

[yadunoe]

Do budhe will ruin team

 

[wasimjunior]

Depressed. Poor sarfraz. Gutted for him so much

 

[Lajpaal]

Beefy and Polly trying to be naughty today.

I believe Polly said Shot Yar...

 

[JilaWatan]

So even if these two put up a 100 stand in the next 20 ovrs. That would leave the big hitters with 10plus and about 200 on the scoreboard

 

[imshally81]

SA has the 5th bowler problem....

 

[TNA]

Expecting atleast 3 threads on Sarfraz's run out

why?

He has no one to blame but himself

 

[Azzurri]

I think shorter boundries will leads to a few run outs in this ground and that's what happened during sarfraz's dismissal

 

[Greenshadow]

We will not mess up today. Allah is shining his grace on us. We will be unstoppable from here on inshallah.

And what with you say when we lose? Allah shined His grace upon saffas?

 

[Strike Rate]

Pakistan reach 100 runs in 19th over can you believe it

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[imshally81]

 

[nads_rocks]

younis

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 up

 

[Arsal_AK]

Man there is no intent.

Atleast go after part timmers.

As I type that by Younis.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

What a shot!!

[soso_killer]

No if you get him out he will stop stifling the others and Pakistan will make 400. #pplogic

Lol, but seriously all Pakistan need to do is bat 50 overs with the start they got 300+ is virtually guaranteed.

 

[Greenshadow]

And what with you say when we lose? Allah shined His grace upon saffas?

Will**

 

[JilaWatan]

These two just need to play their game. Score about 4.5 rpo. I think we stack up a decent total here. Inshallah

 

[angrypathan]

by team man

 

[Strike Rate]

We should get 200 runs in 38 overs than than 110-120 in last 72 balls

 

[imshally81]

I think shorter boundries will leads to a few run outs in this ground and that's what happened during sarfraz's dismissal

Hopefully.... some in SA innings

 

[Big Mac]

Great over.

 

[the Great Khan]

alright chaps where do we need to be at 30 overs?

 

[Sam18696]

Good positive cricket

 

[Bilsher007]

One batsman has to play more aggressively....maybe younis cause he has been out there for a while.

[Idreamofcricket]

Pakistan reach 100 runs in 19th over can you believe it

Better believe it. !! We cannot be stopped in this match.

[Iffitheking]

Great run rate for Pakistan if only they don't lose more wickets Pakistan will give SA really hard time while chasing...

 

[On_the_up]

runs continue to flow.

Both batsmen being positive

 

[Pete Rose]

400 here we come

 

[Aloo Chaat]

All we need now is a steady partnership, at 5-6 an over for the next 10-15 overs.

 

[bbzzz]

180 after 30overs

 

[nads_rocks]

Misbah will love these short boundaries, he is lethal when it comes to smashing the ball

 

[taqi]

whai is a decent total 325-330?

 

[Big Mac]

Lol, but seriously all Pakistan need to do is bat 50 overs with the start they got 300+ is virtually guaranteed.

If these two are still batting in twenty overs we'll stroll past 300.

If these two are out in the next ten overs then we might struggle to get 250.

 

[Lajpaal]

Dont be tricked into thinking that YK is back in form.

He was never out of form against the spinners, SAffers have allowed him a free pass

 

[GreenKnightRises]

From how many deliveries should mighty Khan get his double ton?

 

[bbzzz]

Will it rain??

 

[Bullet Drive]

More then anything it shows Pakistan cricket is still alive.

It also proves my theory correct and I hope all of you will shut up from now.

Sarfaraz was dropped as he does not confine to the Misbah school of approach 'defence and safety first'.

This is what we did against the best attack in the World, imagine against previous attacks like UAE, Zim, & WI. Even India.

Also YK is looking good. Keep it up YK! Superb so far from him. He's done everything perfectly.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Akmal, Maqsood, Afridi and Wahab combo can be lethal here if used rightly.


Whatever happens dont promote Afridi up before the 45th over. Je trives in getting great cameos off the last 5-6 overs.

 

[yadunoe]

Sarf kya kardiya Yaar why. Do only pak batsman not convert starts

 

[tauseefm]

whai is a decent total 325-330?

Looking at SA batting, I would say 400+

 

[FreeBird]

I can't understand why PAK players in general is dumb. Now, Misbah can't go for shots while since Sarfraz has scored & he is a better WK, YK 'll have to play as selfish as possible to keep his spot. I see a big decline in scoring rate.

Yep!
That's what probably is.

 

[wasimjunior]

Need to take 80 minimum off the 5th bowler. Watching a Pakistani play with a brain was just unreal

 

[Bullet Drive]

400 runs......

 

[Strike Rate]

If these two are still batting in twenty overs we'll stroll past 300.

If these two are out in the next ten overs then we might struggle to get 250.

We need 200 in 38 overs without losing more than 1 wicket and than match is in our pocket

 

[KingKhanWC]

alright chaps where do we need to be at 30 overs?

150-160 still 2 down

 

[Saeed]

whai is a decent total 325-330?

Yeah, 330 or more would be match winning. But taking our bowling in account, more than that would be better.
