[Arsal_AK]

Calm down Shehzad.

 

[Madplayer]

is this ground @ joke or what? so damn small. pakistan better score 350 here.

 

[akamaka]

Congrats boys, we did, new best opening partnership for this WC, 12 runs now

 

[waleed88]

Why isn't philander playing??

He has a phenomenal record against pakistanis

 

[cricfan967]

YK will be a walking wicket here

 

[yasir]

Sarfraz Dhoka Nahieen Da ga Misbah, Yeah tum na khaya kayia?? - We could have won one of those matches!!! - Which Swami you were listening too

 

[Amjid Javed]

12/0 after 4 overs

 

[Madplayer]

Why isn't philander playing??

He has a phenomenal record against pakistanis

not fully fit

 

[cricfan967]

AB's going to gobble these boundaries up

 

[Bilsher007]

Shezhad needs to rotate the strike and build momentum, the more positive he is upfront the better.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Is this our best start so far in the WC all??

 

[NA]

Perfect day for Shehzad to add to his 100s. He had one last time Pakistan played ODIs in South Africa. Time to have one more.

 

[soso_killer]

Pakistan look settled and solid out there.

 

[waleed88]

Sarfaraz is electirc

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Lol Sarfraz keeps trying to steal singles.

 

[Strike Rate]

My mohalla have a bigger ground than this

 

[KingKhanWC]

Sarfraz trolling steyn lol

 

[Bilsher007]

We really need to time singles, trying to run stupid singles is not good.

 

[adnan yasin]

love this intend of sarfaraz... standing 2 yard down to steyn ..

confidently playing that towards cover

 

[Idreamofcricket]

Sarfaraz making good contact between bat and ball.

 

[waleed88]

Woaaaaaaaaahhh delivery by steyn

 

[Strike Rate]

Lol Sarfraz keeps trying to steal singles.

thats his natural game totally different from other pakistan players

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lol, what the hell was that??

)

 

[imshally81]

Lucky

 

[Ottoman]

Lucky one for Shahzad.

 

[Bilsher007]

ohhhhhhhh lucky lucky inside edge ..goes to boundary

 

[iafzal]

Shehzad playing like he is playing in his mahalay gully

 

[Big Mac]

Innovative shot from Shehzad

 

[the Great Khan]

lol is this our best start against the big teams?

 

[CalculatedRisk]

this may be our lucky day! if top fast bowlers can't get these hacks, then the luck may be with us

 

[akamaka]

doesn't matter how it comes

 

[Ottoman]

He didn't have any clue.

 

[Arsal_AK]

17-0

 

[cricfan967]

 

[Bilsher007]

cover your outside off ahmed shezhad..!

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Just 253 runs more to get, and we are in with a chance.

 

[Saeed]

Well edged from Shahzad, .

 

[Strike Rate]

I think our guys saved their best game for today

 

[Arsal_AK]

lol is this our best start against the big teams?

Our best start this WC, big teams or small.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

lol is this our best start against the big teams?

I think its our best start against ANY TEAM.

 

[Strike Rate]

IIRC SA chased only 1 out of 9 270+ totals they faced since 2011

 

[Bilsher007]

you know i was more tense when we played against zimbabwe and UAE when we batted..but today my nerves are calmer !

 

[anuk]

shezad playing the swinging ball beautifully. kohli should take note.

 

[Zeshan547]

Ya Allah Shukar hai 5 over aur koi out nai,

 

[imshally81]

How is Pitch ??

 

[UpInTheAir]

what a ridiculous post

He's a new poster i think, made another stupid thread i saw earlier.

 

[adnan yasin]

Shehzad is a good player then what he is showing here.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Can't believe we haven't lost a wicket yet

 

[Idreamofcricket]

What was south africa's logic behind choosing to field first? anyone know?

 

[Amjid Javed]

17/0 after 5 overs

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Calm down Shehzad.

He cant hear you.

 

[Saeed]

Just 253 runs more to get, and we are in with a chance.

270 is too small, we are going to score 340.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Perfect day for Shehzad to add to his 100s. He had one last time Pakistan played ODIs in South Africa. Time to have one more.

Ap ke muh mein ghee shakar.....

 

[akamaka]

Can't believe we haven't lost a wicket yet

shhhhhhhhh

 

[Strike Rate]

lol Wasim is all praise for Saifi today

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Tiny boundaries, we need at least 350.

 

[Gone]

because I honestly do not think Indians have our best intentions in their heart. Many of them are here pretending to be pakistanis and spreading negative energy.

Only muslims can be pakistanis?

Poor stuff mate bringing religion into everything

 

[Bilsher007]

Sarfraz needs to be careful not to overdo stepping down the crease to fast bowlers too often.

 

[Ottoman]

So now Wasim says,

He is very good keeper.

Change of opinion!

 

[Arsal_AK]

He cant hear you.

Thanks for pointing out.

 

[Jabo]

Haha

cameras on Nasir

and the commentary having a laugh too

 

[cricfan967]

Wasim going on and on praising Sarfraz, bandwagoner

 

[adnan yasin]

After negotiating these overs they really need to capitalize the start

 

[Madplayer]

good approach by sirfraz. take singles get pressure off yourself. let the other guy worry about the bowlers.

 

[Bilsher007]

ohhhh sharp bouncer from morkel.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Can't believe we haven't lost a wicket yet

Not now.....

 

[Pete Rose]

All three bowlers are short or good length.

 

[cricfan967]

Commie just called Nasir 'too good a player'

 

[Iffitheking]

What was south africa's logic behind choosing to field first? anyone know?

Rain might effect the second inning and target may reduce...

 

[wasimjunior]

Wasim going on and on praising Sarfraz, bandwagoner

Wasim is a two faced joker. At least stick to your guns. So poor

 

[Scorpion]

SA need wickets here.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

Only muslims can be pakistanis?

Poor stuff mate bringing religion into everything

Relax.. my intention was to ask fellow muslims to send dua....If you are a hindu and want to send dua.. you are welcome.. I didn't want to be presumptuous and ask everyone to support our team and send dua. just move on already.

 

[Bilsher007]

that should have been called wide.

 

[Strike Rate]

Wasim is proving to another Raja with his bandwagon jump )

 

[imshally81]

Shahzad ... kindly rotate the strike...

 

[Aloo Chaat]

These guys are using the same UAE tactics of 3 an over until 30 and it won't work here

 

[adnan yasin]

shhhhhhhhh

hahaha...jamshed is happy

 

[Saeed]

We shouldn't have commentators during Pakistan's batting, they are so annoying.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Morkel is steaming in.

 

[coy0607]

this straight boundary is VERY small, maybe the smallest in the world

320 has gotta be a minimum
