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

[the true passionist]

It seems that even Inzi has lost it...He is not playing with any purpose.

 

[KA$H]

must admit i dunno why i'm wasting my time watching this slow torture..

ok I'm OFF - see u guys later

 

[JustAnotherFan]

What about the 1st ODI last Sunday when Pakistan were 125/8 in 19 overs? )

 

[Shahid A]

120 all out

Interesting and very true comments on cricinfo


38.5 Pollock to Naved-ul-Hasan, no run
Tariq Azeem doesn't quite agree with Awan. "I wanted to say about Awan's comment that Pakistanis are not the worst critics. There are countries that criticize their teams more than the Pakistanis. There are people that criticize too much, but Pakistan is not one of those. If you look India, the match they win, they make their players as Gods, and as soon they lose, the make the players look garbage, and media starts to prove the player useless using the statistics."

 

[Shahid A]

Pakistan RR 2.52
Last 5 ovs 7/2 RR 1.40

 

[jusarrived]

--smith has clearly said that they wont play a spinner even in W.I which means they would do really well to reach the semis.

which means they are not just screwing their own preparation but also pak's....!

 

[Shahid A]

100 up
milestone reached

 

[Shahid A]

guys what can we get off the last 10 overs?

that is if we make the 10 overs

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

guys what can we get off the last 10 overs?

We can get rid of two wickets in no time

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Now Rana gone...this has simply been a shocking performance from PAK

 

[sharuk]

i hope people dont want to count this inzi innings as trying to save Pakistan. 40 of 82 balls, for him its one of the worst innings ever

 

[TheSaint]

Not too big a deal but Rana was not out when given out and out earlier when not given LBW- what goes around comes around I guess for him.

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan really batted with no purpose from ball one, a leaf from Indian batsmen' book on playing in SAF.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

if you say so

Cannot even comment on this comment of yours!!

 

[sharuk]

why is inzamam giving the strike to rehman after the first ball? just hit out now

 

[Saj]

I have come to the conclusion that you know nothing about cricket and are only here to wind people up !

Are you Pakistani?

 

[DesiMD]

why is inzamam giving the strike to rehman after the first ball? just hit out now

he is probably waiting till 46th over

 

[reload]

I wished Inzi let his players play their cricket rather then playing around inzi. This is not Test cricket. It would have made some diff. to the score of raz and Azhar would've atleast gotten we quick runs playing their shots. Take some risk, put some pressure on the bowlers. I just do not see what is the point of batting out 50overs with rr of 1 in these curcial overs.

wat is he supposed to do here??? Go into Afridi Mode or something??

 

[DesiMD]

darlymple took a syck catch of watson in the other game...Aussies in deep trouble.....
basically its over for them...6 down.....for 110.....and in abt 12 overs they gotta chase down 101

 

[sharuk]

do you want him to go out at 3 runs an over or go out swinging. with the score this LOW, attack is the only option to have ANY TOTAL

exactly, you hit the nail on the head. this is defensive submissive cricket

 

[DesiMD]

yah..but when u have 2 wickets left....ONLY....8 overs are a little too many to attack..if u can get to last 5 overs...thats still reasonable...for last 2 wickets to hit

 

[reload]

India and Eng. marching along. Dhoni got life line at the first ball

 

[badxhah]

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

and you know? 2.2 runs an over, 2 tailenders at 40 overs. do u defend or do you attack. )

Am i pakistani? is that your ussual defense? pathetic

You should eat some sweets. Or do you have sugar problems?

 

[badxhah]

dimple ( kapdia ) catch of watson

 

[reload]

INd. Karthik out. need 23/26 balls.

 

[sharuk]

looks like most ppers have forgot the meaning of attacking cricket. 2 wickets is exactly the reason you should attack this early, it would be foolish to have 2 runs an over till 47 overs when you could start attacking and have most likely more runs

 

[sharuk]

last 5 overs in the 40-45 overs

. 1 . . . . | . 1 . . . . | Wd . 1 . . . . | 1 . . . . .

 

[CricketBuff]

why are they playing like this, hoping for rain !!!

 

[DesiMD]

nice pic..thanx for sharing it with others man

 

[sharuk]

koi faida hua now inzamam ko after rehman got out with NO runs in 20 balls? he could have NOT given him the strike and isntead tried to get double and boundries. last6 overs have produced 7 RUNS!!! 7 RUNS!!! when it could easily been around 20-25 runs if inzamam attacked

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Rehman out for a duck, 106/9 off 45 overs

 

[reload]

we have lost the plot here. ineffective strategy

 

[pak4life]

the quicker they get home the better lets regroup for the world cup.

 

[TheSaint]

Rehman gets an 18 ball duck- people were saying he could bat- he looked worse then Asif tbh although the situation was not good for him.

 

[TheSaint]

Boucher has 6 catches today- a new record for ODIs I think

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Will the combo of Asif and Inzi save PAK again?

 

[DesiMD]

bad strategy...and poor play all day along by the Pakistanis....Pakistan is playing with out any strategy here.

 

[pak4life]

misery over. well done inzy u have saved your average

 

[inzamam_1]

what are the chances of it raining?

 

[DesiMD]

Boucher has 6 catches today- a new record for ODIs I think

oh thats crazy..new record...lol..against pakistan..haha..

 

[sharuk]

all out. Abh Bolo

I am afraid not.

 

[TheSaint]

107 all out - what a sad end- Inzi takes a single on the 3rd ball and Asif gets bowled 4th for 0

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Asif bowled by Hall, Pak all out for 107

 

[dinakar]

meanwhile, India needs 18 in 18. Dhoni is still out there.. and looks England has almost made it!!!

 

[reload]

Glad there are couple of other interesting matches on . India choking. harbhajan out for 2.

 

[sharuk]

if you say so

rehman 0 off 20 balls, inzamam giving strike to tail enders..


abh bolo.

 

[TheSaint]

Boucher has 6 catches today- a new record for ODIs I think

Just checked- 6 is the highest equal with Gilchrist (thrice) & Stewart (once) - highest for SA and in SA or against Pakistan

 

[DesiMD]

what are the chances of it raining?

[DesiMD]

india's game down to the wire...14 off 12....3 wickets in hand...dhoni still out there.....and can lead his team to a stunning victory...lets c...

 

[Oxy]

Just tuned in - Oh dear.....

 

[Imy]

what the hell was inzi doing

 

[i m gr8]

The way Inzimam was giving strike to tailenders was pathetic at the end.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

rehman 0 off 20 balls, inzamam giving strike to tail enders..


abh bolo.

he was doing the right thing...Inzi was going to farm the strike and then attack in the final 2 or 3 overs but unfortunately we got bowled out in 45!

 

[DesiMD]

india's 2nd last over started with 14 from 2 overs....
here's each ball score...
dhoni had the strike first...with him is kumble
1-0-0-0-1-1

dhoni faced the last ball..and took the strike for last over....
11 to win from the last over

 

[DesiMD]

oooh...jayasuriya to bowl the last over for sri lanka

 

[DesiMD]

3 balls 10 to win....dhoni still has the strike...
kumble got out helping dhoni in a double...

 

[sharuk]

WAS going to will also make Pakistan lose the world cup, there is no WAS going to. it should have been done as soon as Rehman came on to bat

 

[Usman Chadda]

Well its been a poor batting performance. Apart from Nazir and Rana, all of the batsmen played terrible shots. Credit to the South Africans for bowling tremendously well and not letting Pakistan off the hook at any stage of the game

 

[161]

good morning...

and thankfully i slept through all this

 

[161]

is the pitch really that bad or did we just bat like crap ?

 

[Nauman]

Meh what pathetic performance, good thing I didnt bother watching after Mohommad Yousaf got out, utilized my time better by studying.

 

[161]

Pakistan will do well to reach 250 from here.

bump ...


we didn't do well

 

[Usman Chadda]

is the pitch really that bad or did we just bat like crap ?

I can only remember two balls that were really amazing, one that Pollock bowled to Nazir and one which got Rana out (dont remember the bowler)

 

[umarbeast]

has everyone slept lol?? Come on guys. Pakistan can still win this match. We just need rana bowling like rana and rest will follow. Its only 1 odi people. Just be happy your not Indian today lol-

 

[dog_again]

I thought one of the plus points for Rehman over Danish was his batting?

 

[Danishau]

oust most of our top order instill habib ulbashar.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Absolutely shocking stuff from inzi.

He was taking a single of the 1st, 2nd ball of overs. What was his plan? What was he doing? Even if there was some method to the madness I may understand. He wasn't trying to hit out, wasn't trying to farm the strike. Shocking and completely puzzling.

Rain Play held up. Bad and good news depending upon your point of view. It's raining out there. The covers are being rushed out.

 

[P4K1 #1]
