SA vs Pak 4th ODI from Cape Town- Pakistan innings

[TheSaint]

Yousuf in- How can he cope here? Very crucial next 20 minutes or so

 

[CricketBuff]

do not understand getting run out in this situation.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Yk beaten off the last ball of Ntini's over, another maiden.

 

[TheSaint]

6-2 from 8- even 200 will be a miracle here

 

[TheSaint]

Yousuf dabs his first to third man easily for a single

 

[iafzal]

Pakistan seems to look like their typical self at the moment and we do not have Afridi for a quick cameo to pick up the run rate later down the innings.

 

[12thMan]

a run off Pollock

 

[iZeeshan]

No shots being offered what so ever!

 

[Salman]

This is disgusting, i'm going to the sunday market....

 

[iZeeshan]

Btw, chasing on this pitch will be a breeze! Why is it that I can't enjoy Pakistani success when I am watching!

 

[TheSaint]

Hall , Kallis & Langeveldt to come- all seamers who move it about nicely- 200 is like a dream at the moment

 

[MIG]

Assalam-0-Alikum people - and looks like a mountain to climb here....

 

[the true passionist]

6-2 from 8- even 200 will be a miracle here

that is pre-mature.

Pakistan cannot afford to lose either of Moyo or Khan at the moment. Pakistan will be looking at 265.

 

[TheSaint]

Yousuf 2 from 2 with no effort- as if its a different pitch MashaAllah

 

[amerrahman]

Yousuf : 2 of 2 balls
Younis : 2 of 1,300,234 balls

 

[iZeeshan]

Amazing how Yousuf is 2/2 while Younis is 2/28!

 

[Nauman]

All hail the greatest coach of Pakistan for wonderfull opening policies, then again why should Woolmer be blamed, he is only supposed to get credit for wins when we do badly its the players fault.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Quick comparison

PAK after 9 overs: 8/2
IND after 9 overs: 68/2

 

[iZeeshan]

To win we would need at least 275 AND some excellent bowling. but Rana is in the team, so I don't think so.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Comparsion update

IND after 10 overs: 73/2
PAK after 10 overs: 8/2

 

[iafzal]

Interesting question on Cricinfo.
so true though as openners wows continue for us

Rehan Qureshi is philosphical. "Does the Pakistani team really need openers? "
9.1 Ntini to Mohammad Yousuf, 1 run, just short of length, on the off stump line, Younis stands up tall, punches it past cover

 

[the true passionist]

8/2 in 10

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Does anyone know the lowest score ever at the end of the 10th over???

Here's one: India, while chasing England's record (at the time) 334, in World Cup '75, scored 160 in 60 overs.

 

[KA$H]

rofl! you called it mate

 

[the true passionist]

Essentially SAF will chase whatever Pakistan set in 32-35 overs

 

[12thMan]

this over the runs will pass the overs
Yo Yo to face the ball

 

[PlanetPakistan]

4 runs!

 

[iafzal]

Basically this match has tunred into a match with Pak only facing 40 overs.
They have done didly in the first 10.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

that is pre-mature.

Pakistan cannot afford to lose either of Moyo or Khan at the moment. Pakistan will be looking at 265.

Well at 8/2 after 10 overs that means scoring 257 in the next 40. (Uhm, Afridi isn't playing) ) )

Wait someone finally hit a boundary.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Finally a boundary, good shot by Moyo

 

[amerrahman]

The run rate has tipped over 1.0 !

 

[iZeeshan]

Risky shot by Yousuf, welcomed boundary! Can we PLEASE make use of the powerplays?

 

[iZeeshan]

Can YK make runs of any sort?

 

[MIG]

All hail the greatest coach of Pakistan for wonderfull opening policies, then again why should Woolmer be blamed, he is only supposed to get credit for wins when we do badly its the players fault.

arent you supposed to be studying or something Nauman Mian....

 

[PlanetPakistan]

4 more....the charge is on

 

[iafzal]

anyone knows if weather is suppose to continue like this?

We will need overcast conditions to make a game out of it.

 

[KA$H]

look guys its obviously difficult to bat out there otherwise the bat'd be smashing into the leather

we've lost 2 quick wkts its teh time to consolidate

can u imagine if YK or Moyo got out now tryin to do some airy drive?

 

[iZeeshan]

Very good shot by Yousuf! 4 more!

Razzaq, Azhar, and Malik have HUGE jobs to do!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Another 4, wow PAK in 10/10 mode

 

[TheSaint]

Finally some runs- 2 fours in the over. One to each Y

 

[iZeeshan]

Yay! 4 more!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

yk 8 off 35
Moyo 10 off 11

 

[the true passionist]

23/2 in 12

 

[TheSaint]

Gone- YK plays a lose shot again

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Yk gone, edged to Kallis. 8 off 38 balls for YK.

 

[KA$H]

YK gone

driving on the up - ball edsge to 2nd slip

 

[iZeeshan]

Omg! Omg!

Haha, this just a joke.

 

[Rob H]

Is this a minefield or something?

 

[SUPERSAMI]

The big man walks out, we need something special Inzi...

 

[the true passionist]

pathetic performance by Khan after playing 60 balls....He should just be the Pakistan opener in place of Nazir.

 

[KA$H]

lets see how inzi copes with these conditions

 

[iZeeshan]

Is this a minefield or something?

Anything but.

 

[cricketcrazy]

wht the hell yk was doin

 

[KA$H]

Is this a minefield or something?

there seems to be plenty of lateral movement at teh moment

 

[the true passionist]

I doubt Inzi can get us out of this.

 

[Gunner786]

inzi wont last too long
perfect bowling conditions

oh boy

current prediction is 90 at this run rate

 

[Amir]

Is this a minefield or something?

There is a bit of movement in the air and there is some patches where the ball tends to just kick and seam.

But nothing like a I should be 8 runs after 10 over pitch. That is pathetic for anyone's standards.

 

[KA$H]

wht the hell yk was doin

he was tryin to do what most of the guys on this board wanted him to do i.e try to get the score board tickin

 

[Afzal_K]

Pakistan is playing test cricket

 

[amerrahman]

Maths doesn't appear to be Jackman's strong point. According to him, scoring at 8 at over from now (another 40 overs) will take Pakistan to 150.

 

[Gunner786]

Is this a minefield or something?

pakistan can make flattest pitches in the world sometimes look like bowling heavens

look up faisalabad test vs india 2006 pak 2nd innings

 

[the true passionist]

Jackers and Wessel going nuts

 

[KA$H]

inzis nemesis into teh attack: HALL

 

[KA$H]

i'd like to see inzi's intent against Hall - esp considering the situation

the big man doesnt like bowlers having his number

 

[amerrahman]

Jackman seems very embarrassed after making a fool of himself with the score projections.

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan will do well to reach 250 from here.

 

[KA$H]

lol@boom boom go back to your room

but yea right! like a Saffies would have come up with something without swearing!

 

[Gunner786]

Pakistan will do well to reach 250 from here.

mate even 200 would take a monster effort

 

[Gunner786]

i adviseyou all to check out indias match

go back in time and watch ganguly/tendulkat at their best

 

[kablooee87]

i adviseyou all to check out indias match

go back in time and watch ganguly/tendulkat at their best

or I could watch the team I support....

 

[KA$H]

i reckon 180 will be defendable on this pitch

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Need for a massive partnership here...Yousuf needs to carry his bat till the 50th over!

 

[the true passionist]

I think if we do not lose a wicket till the 33rd over 250 is always on the cards.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Great shot by Moyo, even better stop by AB

 

[iZeeshan]

Such good fielding! Wow!

 

[the true passionist]

i reckon 180 will be defendable on this pitch

it's easier to chase when you know the target is small.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I think if we do not lose a wicket till the 33rd over 250 is always on the cards.

being really optimistic here TTP....

 

[JustAnotherFan]

lol@boom boom go back to your room

but yea right! like a Saffies would have come up with something without swearing!

Guess you don't know anything about pop music ... Boom Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room)

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

15 overs gone. 28/3

Inzi and Mohammad Yousuf have to start hitting the ball now. Utilize the powerplay. In the next 5 overs, aim for at least 30-35 runs.

This puts Pakistan at ~60 in 20 overs. From there, we have a chance to get to 240, and have a fighting chance.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I am expecting an Azhar Mahmood special today!
