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

[Electron]

Well done Pakistan, but this is a ground with 49 and 50m boundaries. This is not enough.

Most upper cuts on Irfan will go for a six.

 

[nads_rocks]

Go and play gulli danda kiddo.. leave Cricket to the adults who know how the game is played.

What they don't realise is without Misbah this team can't even make 200 and last 40 overs let alone 50.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

This is so annoying to watch

 

[Bilsher007]

Misbah will have to play match winning innings..must target 270..atleast..anything less will be lost case.

I dont think you what Cricket is if you think Misbah is correct. Everyone on tweeter is saying he is just pethetic

 

[Idreamofcricket]

Run rate 15 needed at least from now on

Why only 15? Let's say we need 25 run rate from here on..that sound good?

 

[rhony]

All... Is there an auto refresh for the forum? Do I have to manually refresh it every few minutes to get new posts?

Upper cut memories reminds me of Tendulkars world cup innings against Shoaib and co.

6 ban nahi raha )

 

[Lajpaal]

Meanwhile back in Pakistan Hafeez is watching the game from under his bed, he intermittently resolves to emerge but the cameramen show of shot of Steyn, denying him the opportunity

 

[Iffitheking]

Today Misbah had no excuse to block block block... tuk tuk tuk...

 

[Arsal_AK]

This mess is all due to Misbah.

Pathetic knock.

 

[Mr Consistent]

167-4
35 overs

 

[Aloo Chaat]

The boundaries are so short De Villiers alone can make 200 here...

 

[Pak_Jazba]

We are 40 runs short right now. Silly batting!!!!

LOL lets not get ahead of ourselves. These are Pakistani batsmen. At the beginning of the day if you'd have given me 170-4 at the end of 35 i'd have gladly accepted it. So would have you. Be happy with what you're getting.

 

[Bilsher007]

last 15 overs can we get 120-130 runs ????

 

[FreeBird]

hahahaha wow! BLAME IT ON MSIBAH.. SO PATHETIC FROM PAKISTANI FANS.

I am telling you, you freaking choke the life out of run flow. He literally killed this batting innings.

All hardwork done by Sarfarz was put to shame by Misbah. This man is a disgrace. He took 30 balls to score 9 runs in this ground that's smaller than my kitchen.

 

[nads_rocks]

PP time, nervy times for Pakistan coz we lose wickets in Powerplay

 

[Big Mac]

I dont think you what Cricket is if you think Misbah is correct. Everyone on tweeter is saying he is just pethetic

Everyone on twitter can't work out the colour of a dress.

So please forgive me if I don't rely on those geniuses for cricketing analysis.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Need to take Steyn to the cleaners!

 

[imshally81]

Last 5 overs : 19/1 RR 3.80

 

[Abdullah]

Should send wahab instead of umar akmal

I would have sent him b4 maqsood and taken the pp

 

[Bilsher007]

POWERPLAY..lets see what we can do ...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Misbah is killing it. This is a small ground and a 300+pitch.

 

[soso_killer]

Misbah has to bat through he can't get out now lol

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lol at people defending Misbah.

The excuses are just amazing.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yeah PP
Bradman was so waiting for this

 

[FreeBird]

Batting power while Misbah on the crease ???????? HORRIBLE !!!!

Umer will get out now.

 

[akamaka]

Since sarfraz got out, been 20 overs and only 75 runs

 

[iafzal]

3 runs in last 2 overs. coming to a halt.
Need about 40 runs in PP overs

 

[Mr Consistent]

pp time

 

[angrypathan]

back

 

[Bilsher007]

Need to smash steyn around the park..

 

[H2O1]

Well no wonder Pakistan team always has to worry about what people are saying.. You guys are into sensationalism and dramatics when it comes to cricket.. you jump to extremes in your mood like little girls..

the Middle overs are all about keeping wickets and going ahead.. doesn't matter if the runrate falls slightly below 5.. the key is to hold wickets..

After 35-40 overs with wickets in hand.. you can really push ahead.

If you don't know this simple thing.. then you should stop watching cricket..

If you think people should keep firing in middle overs... you should stop watching cricket. Hey it's great if they can.. but it is not a must and considering the bottom of the barrel that pakistan is trying to climb out of.. this is EXCELLENT PLAY SO FAR!!..

 

[Arsal_AK]

Can we get 250??

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[imshally81]

 

[Electron]

Big storm approaching.

 

[le_petit_prince]

why bashing misbah? pak are doing okay at the moment.the runrate is not too bad.these two need to stay together and go for it in the last 10 overs.

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Lajpaal]

Hope the Asian Bradman gives some respect to Kyle jackpot and doesn't hit boundaries every ball

When was the last time you compiled a post that did not involve the words Asian Bradman and the Mibah smiley

Originality

first of all sarfaraz is to blame for the way he got out. Became over confident.

A player who gets his eye in isn't supposed to get out like that.

 

[Strike Rate]

Take it Steyn

 

[cricfan967]

Shot.

 

[razazaidi]

lol

Doubt it.

 

[dhump]

Is it raining ??

 

[Bilsher007]

yessss Umar Akmal gets my message ! long may it continue, Ameen

 

[On_the_up]

As long as afridi doesn't bat against Steyn/Morkel/Abbot, he might get a few, otherwise no chance

 

[Big Mac]

Did Misbah cause Junior to smash Steyn to the boundary?

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Every zone is a weakzone for Akmal. There is no specific zone

 

[Idreamofcricket]

Power Play on... if they can get over 7 RPO without losing a wicket in powerplay.. IT'S A WIN!

 

[waleed88]

umar to get out after hitting a boundary. always happens.

 

[Jabo]

6 of Steyn

Just Dont get out to him

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Need 2 boundaries an over.

 

[razazaidi]

This aint the 90's.

 

[ShahKhan007]

I would love to see Umar and Sarfraz batting together one day.

 

[nads_rocks]

Umar Akmal is looking under pressure against Steyn, he looks very worried.

 

[Electron]

Steyn has no pace.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

cracking shot by junior.

 

[Bilsher007]

Thats better umar ..rotate the strike ...

 

[Idreamofcricket]

Indian PPers stoking it.. and Pak PPers going along with that mood.

 

[Mr Consistent]

174-4
36 overs

 

[cricfan967]

Not bad, 7 off it.

 

[Bilsher007]

good single by misbah...

 

[angrypathan]

7 off steyn, good stuff

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Time for drinks. Someone go there and tell misbah to start hitting

 

[le_petit_prince]

its not like they have to score big like India everytime cuz the bowlers are decent enuf to defend low scores.pak is gonna be fine.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

This aint the 90's.

Oh Really? Have you not seen how your team (India) played in this WC??

 

[MoinHaroon]

Time for drinks. Someone go there and tell misbah to start hitting

I think they need to tell him it is oneday not a test

 

[Logical]

Big storm approaching.

is it green?

 

[akamaka]

Time for drinks. Someone go there and tell misbah to start hitting

misbah is not the hitter he needs to take singles and there at 49th over. Thats his job, leave the hitting to junior and afridi

 

[nads_rocks]

This aint the 90's.

This aint T20 either, you need to know how to contruct an innings and occupy the crease. Not go for it from the start. This team without Misbah can't last 40 overs let alone 50 and can barely manage 200 between them. If it wasn't for Misbah's aggressive innings against UAE last game we would have been knocked out...

 

[MoinHaroon]

I dont think you are watching WC, Indian bowling is really good in this WC, you have to give credit where it is due
