South Africa v Pakistan | 4th ODI | Durban | 21/3/13 | South Africa Innings

[LegendAli]

Important match in the context of the series and for some non performing seniors.A must win match for Pakistan to keep the series alive, as a South Africa win here will seal the series for Saffers...

The weather in Durban has been cloudy or rainy for the few days now but forecast is excellent for thursday with clear sky and sunshine predicted...

Weather Forecast can be accessed here:
http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/SFXX0011

So,just like previous game there is a chance that there might be some moisture early on because of cloudy weather prior to the match day...As it is a day match the side winning the toss,might like to bowl first..

The Match starts at 10 am local time ,1 pm Pakistan Time and 8 GMT on Thursday, 21st.

 

[Saurav]

SA win toss n batting first

Farhat in for Jamshed

Miller in for Faf

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Jamshed nooooooo

 

[LegendAli]

terrible decision to drop jammy.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

the lttle hope i had for misbah is now gone

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah's dream dream is about to be achieved , Imran farhat replaces nasir. Next match tanvir will replace junaid.

 

[Aman]

What a joke of a batting line up... Where are the youngsters? I doubt half that team will even make it to the 2015 WC

 

[Maher96]

Lmaoo misbah xi complete now.

 

[Red Devil]

Farhat

 

[Red Devil]

Still no Umar Akmal


WTH

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Lmaoo misbah xi complete now.

not exatcly, junaid khan is left . He must hold the fort

 

[Red Devil]

Why Misbah Why?

 

[taqi]

when Misbah will stop killing our youngsters

 

[Maher96]

This day will go down into the history books.

Farhat will make a triple hundred!

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Lol only Junaid Khan and Wahab Riaz are under 30

 

[Asif321]

thank go no kukri

 

[Maher96]

when Misbah will stop killing our youngsters

Look my friend you don't get a logic. The players aren't experienced senior yet.

Once your fully grow have a MBA degree from Harvard only then you are going to be considered in the starting XI in pakistan.

Every player in the squad has to go through the pain misbah did and get back into the side!

 

[Red Devil]

Imran Farhat
Mohammad Hafeez
Kamran Akmal
Younis Khan
Misbah-ul-Haq
Shoaib Malik

Worst Pak ODI line up in a long time.

None of these players apart from Hafeez should be in the team.

 

[Aman]

Imran Farhat
Mohammad Hafeez
Kamran Akmal
Younis Khan
Misbah-ul-Haq
Shoaib Malik

Worst Pak ODI line up in a long time.

Anything over 250 will be too much unless Afridi goes beserk

 

[LegCutter]

That is the most sorry looking batting lineup I have seen in a while.

Farhat and Hafeez are our openers
Middle Order of Kamran Akmal, Misbah, Younis and Malik
Afridi being the tailguard

 

[Maher96]

TTF RE-Union!

 

[Aman]

Bowlers will have to bowl their hearts out

 

[saeedhk]

Poor squad.Why UA isnt playing??

 

[saeedhk]

Anything over 200 would be difficult.

 

[ads101]

lol worse team ever, Jamshed out Farhat in and no umar akmal.

I have never seen such a poor selection, this is rubbish.

 

[Maher96]

Great news khan thinks he can score a century today!

 

[ads101]

lol worst team ever, Jamshed out Farhat in and no umar akmal.

I have never seen such a poor selection, this is rubbish.

 

[IAJ]

If this is a dry wicket, maybe Pakistan could have played Abdur Rehman instead of Malik?

Misbah and co are clearly showing this is not about Pakistan, but to achieve some personal goals. He is afraid the youngsters might flop, therefore he is trusting the tried and tested failrues.

Every team is preparing for WC, but Misbah is thinking about his own record. Play the youngsters man, let them feel how it is to face one of the best bowlers in their own backyard. Win or lose, then you will at least be preparing for WC.

I can't believe we have a coach like Whatmore just sitting there and doing nothing about it.

I share pain bhai jaan.

I have started to believe this is a conspiracy by the amreeka against our beloved pakistan and misbah is their agent!

[iafzal]

[WNC]

Went for the yorker again, came out a full toss.

 

[Saurav]

Kami's WKing has improved it seems

 

[Kianig89]

so 2 already gone come on lads AB n Biff and then the brittle middle order n tail

 

[Leeon1994]

I'd take that four as a complement

 

[Bullet Drive]

What a start this is.

 

[WNC]

Kami's WKing has improved it seems

Nooo. You'll jinx

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah didnt play irfan in the first test then didnt play in the first odi.

 

[bantu]

What a start!!!!!

 

[Saurav]

Nooo. You'll jinx

nah,he took some great ones in India too.I said the same then

batting has gone south though

 

[Random Aussie]

Just switched this on in a hotel and saw the big man go boom boom!

What a talent....

 

[imshally81]

Irfan... What a beast

 

[Leeon1994]

Who needs Mohammad Aamir now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

140kph by Junaid.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Only in PAK will your two best ODI batsmen be dropped for 30 average failures. Umar/Jamshed for Malik/Farhat.

 

[taqi]

need to get ABD early then we'll be in a position to get them before under 200 it looks like a good bating surface early swing working in our favor

 

[Leeon1994]

I would want to see Hafeez with Riaz after 10 overs and Ajmal after 20th.

 

[DW44]

Hafeez's sledging is embarrasing.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 / 2

 

[ddss]

Damn if that was a foot lower... or two

 

[Leeon1994]

Hafeez sledging? lolwut

 

[Bullet Drive]

5-2 after 3 overs.
