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

[ekpakistani]

Cant believe we are not taking ABD to cleaners...

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah is 21 off 42.

Horrible just horrible.

[Aloo Chaat]

!

 

[manick badsha]

50m boundaries no wonder pakistani sloggers scoring runs. Disgraceful to have hobit sized grounds. Flat pitch, shorter boundaries, another boring slogfest

 

[Bilsher007]

Yes misbah gets boundary...!

 

[angrypathan]

Sarfraz would've been gobbling AB up

Yep, he has noone but himself to blame for his dismissal though

 

[Sam18696]

Finally

 

[cricfan967]

Sweetly timed

 

[waleed88]

Rameez disappointed his theory is proven wrong.

 

[Red Devil]

yesssss is it misbah's fault the three wickets were gifted !

Yeah, but the fact that he's batting at a SR of 50 is his fault.

[Arsal_AK]

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Ya Allah please get us to 200 by 35 overs!

 

[nads_rocks]

Batsman out in the middle play their own game and plan their own shots, how can Misbah be blamed for the way Younis got out, seriously the mentality of people.

 

[Pantani]

Pakistan should look to get 60 from overs 30-40 then 90 odd in the last 10. That will get them to 300.

 

[akamaka]

"misbah has to bat through" hah, nice one botham

 

[Big Mac]

Rameez back on, time for misbah bashing

Unless Misbah is still batting in ten to fifteen overs, in which case he'll change his tune and praise him to the heavens.

 

[NeVerMind]

Negatrons out in full force...

 

[zabalestmsm]

Misbah's innings now makes sense as he made for some of the dots!

 

[waleed88]

Maqsood bats like a tailender. Wow.

No accumen vs pace.

 

[ekpakistani]

I have an eerie feeling that we will bring quinton decock to form today

 

[Bilsher007]

I accept misbah sort of disturbed the momentum with those dot balls..he really needs to change this tactic and take more singles. It does'nt help when other batsman can't last long on the crease...

it is complex situation

 

[Iffitheking]

This pitch is batting paradise... Pakistan need min 325... to have some sort of chance, with this small boundaries, AB, Amla will milk any bowler...

 

[H2O1]

Ya Allah please get us to 200 by 35 overs!

I will eat aloo chaat

RSA feeling the heat!

 

[waleed88]

You have to look at maqsood to actually appreciate misbah's batting.

Its not that easy to bat on this pitch

 

[Lajpaal]

Maqsood looking perfectly incapable of playing quality bowling!

 

[Abdullah]

"misbah has to bat through" hah, nice one botham

2 wickets here and 220 is difficult! He has a point

 

[Bilsher007]

Come on you cornered tigers..get that positive spirit flowing like a river !

 

[Sam18696]

For the love of everything in this world please don't throw it away Maqsood

 

[cricfan967]

Younus did not get out because Misbah was playing slow; Younus got out because he couldn't play a medium pace long hop from a part-timer who has five international wickets.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Batsman out in the middle play their own game and plan their own shots, how can Misbah be blamed for the way Younis got out, seriously the mentality of people.

Err.. becuase he is batting for stumps in a 50 overs game??

 

[Big Mac]

Sohaib doesn't look comfortable at all

 

[waleed88]

We can't lose a wicket here. Its better to play dots then get out.

 

[ugem]

Misbah killed all the momentum.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

We should attack all of their bowlers except Steyn. They are all par and should be punished, yet we are tuking!

 

[waleed88]

err.. Becuase he is batting for stumps in a 50 overs game??

i think you need to learn what cricket is first.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Misbah killed the momentum, and now Maqsood killing it off even more

 

[Arsal_AK]

You have to look at maqsood to actually appreciate misbah's batting.

Its not that easy to bat on this pitch

Sarfraz. YK all batted on the same pitch.

 

[Mir jibran]

come on pakistan
300 we need atleast

 

[Bilsher007]

It will be hard to defend on this small ground, we need a total of 270 plus maximum !

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Asian Bradman playing a blinder.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

HAve to take the powerplay now SA they part timers will have to bowl in the last 10 if we take the powerplay now.

 

[Lajpaal]

I have an eerie feeling that we will bring quinton decock to form today

Spoke my mind!

Quinton De Cock is the biggest Ghunna in world cricket.

 

[FreeBird]

Its not that easy to bat on this pitch

And Safaraz was playing in his pind ?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

can we score 300??

 

[waleed88]

misbah killed all the momentum.

blame misbah. Its misbah's fault younis got out.

Wow. You're smart.

 

[Sam18696]

You have to look at maqsood to actually appreciate misbah's batting.

Its not that easy to bat on this pitch

You have to look at Sir Fraz to not appreciate Misbah's innings.

It's easy to bat on this pitch.

 

[Idreamofcricket]

150 by 30 overs.. double that score.. pretty much that will be the score in 50 overs..

 

[zabalestmsm]

Umar Akmal will be very dangerous here! But for that these 2 must at least take us to 200 under 40 overs!

 

[NeVerMind]

Younus did not get out because Misbah was playing slow; Younus got out because he couldn't play a medium pace long hop from a part-timer who has five international wickets.

and nothing to do with the fact that he averages 20 odd all bis career...

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common boys

 

[waleed88]

and safaraz was playing in his pind ?

look at maqsood. He is a great batsman isn't he? Why is he struggling then?

If you didn't watch sarfaraz was 15 of 30 vs pacers.

 

[Arsal_AK]

i think you need to learn what cricket is first.

Werent you the one asking for Sarfraz to remain benched??

The irony.

 

[Bilsher007]

We can do it.. Pakistan will fight on and prevail today.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Guys remember, Steyn still has 5 overs to bowl. It will be tough to get 320-330 plus which is what we need

 

[MoinHaroon]

150 by 30 overs.. double that score.. pretty much that will be the score in 50 overs..

not with Misba

 

[Strike!]

They should take the PP now.

 

[Shafi]

If next match YK drop "That's not you treat your senior player"

 

[Lajpaal]

You have to look at maqsood to actually appreciate misbah's batting.

You have to look at him and realize that he is not what he has been hyped to be

 

[Aloo Chaat]

 

[Big Mac]

HAve to take the powerplay now SA they part timers will have to bowl in the last 10 if we take the powerplay now.

Now that is actually a good idea.

[pakistanisgreat]

wide

 

[Iffitheking]

If Sarfaraz hadn't scored quick 49, Pakistan would be around 70 at this stage...

 

[Idreamofcricket]

People complaining about Misbah innings are..

1. either doing it on purpose just for the heck of it and because they are perpetual Misbah haters.

2. Young kids who haven't watched Cricket that much and have no clue about Cricketing Strategies..

3. Have not watched Indian games either.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

More right arm filth from AB

 

[zabalestmsm]

You have to look at maqsood to actually appreciate misbah's batting.

Its not that easy to bat on this pitch

I m starting to realise this now! Its not an easy pitch to bat on!

 

[fahadshah]

5 in over is good ! Keep it going

happy to be proved wrong.

 

[Sam18696]

Good Misbah

 

[Bilsher007]

What is the highest run chase on this ground ????

GREAT straight drive for four by misbah !

 

[On_the_up]

Kaptaan continuing the charity

 

[cricfan967]

Misbah century march is on

 

[NeVerMind]

You have to look at Sir Fraz to not appreciate Misbah's innings.

It's easy to bat on this pitch.

Saf pla6yef the quicks carefully. Didn't take chances until duminy and tahir came to bowl...

 

[ugem]

blame misbah. Its misbah's fault younis got out.

Wow. You're smart.

Where i said that?

Just let me know what was RR when Misbah came on crease and what's now?

 

[the Great Khan]

theyre doing ok considering our previous games..

 

[Arsal_AK]

look at maqsood. He is a great batsman isn't he? Why is he struggling then?

If you didn't watch sarfaraz was 15 of 30 vs pacers.

Maqsood has just come in.

Misbah played a maiden of Tahir.

Stop embarrasing yourself.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

ABD being taken as a serious bowler
