South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African Innings

[MRSN]

instagram gonna be chupa rustam of today I hope not..

 

[dhump]

giving away too many easy runs really.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

Rsa in good position ... 100 in 20 in loss of 2 ... Good RR

 

[talha3]

Runs flowing easily for SA atm.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

100 up for Saffers..

 

[ViciousMachine]

Well if you dont have 3 really good seamers, and you have 3 good spinners, then its no brainer that you should select the spinners

100% agreed !! And that is the problem, we DONT have 3 good pace bowlers anymore.

 

[iafzal]

too many singles, spin cannot choke them it seems.
SAF will have to choke themeselve

 

[saiyan0312]

ok spinners prove misbah right... the curaters said there would be no turn... they need new curaters

 

[ads101]

If we still had Amir & Asif, sure. Bring in all the pacers you want.

But bottom line is, our pace bowlers have sucked the entire series (outside Gul in 2020). Irfan took 0 wickets with a new ball on pro-pace bowling tracks. What makes anybody think that he will go from that to pure domination today? I'll take Afridi with his experience over Irfan. Plus Afridi can actually field, and even as terrible as he has been with the bat, still better than Irfan with the bat.


@ HazTheGreenKnightRises - everybody wanted more pacers, fewer spinners earlier. Yet both wickets are to spinners (again)

No doubt are spinners are better, but I still maintain I'd have liked 3 pacers.

SA are still doing pretty well, we're not demolishing them with spin as of yet.

 

[saiyan0312]

we are giving away singles...... the strategy is soo good... when no boundries then take singles....

 

[ViciousMachine]

Rsa in good position ... 100 in 20 in loss of 2 ... Good RR

I think it is a good position for Pak as well. RSA have used their batting pp and we have 8 Ajmal overs left. Plus this RSA team is not as deep in middle order. If we get AB, we get edge.

 

[MRSN]

We need ABD wicket as soon as possible..the guy is in great form..

Are people complaining about bowling lineup?

Its the ideal lineup.

Just needed Razzaq as backup in maliks place.

 

[saiyan0312]

singles and singles and doubles.

 

[saiyan0312]

Just needed Razzaq as backup in maliks place.

A fast bowling all rounder would be a dream come true......

I'd maybe prefer Hammad just based on youth, but otherwise 100% agreed.

Both of the wickets were Gift.... Only the pacers worried the SA bastmen...

Yes seems so ... but if these 2 stay on crease till 30 overs ... Pak will be in trouble ...

 

[saiyan0312]

ingram is playing well..... great shot.

 

[MRSN]

lala when will you get wicket?

Razzaq deadly with bat... Pitch would suit his bowling.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

Great running

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African Innin

Bad over

 

[saiyan0312]

great running and 3 more runs... this over is expensive.... 11 from the over...

 

[mosh101]

Afridi lol

 

[iafzal]

except Gul everyone has been quite expensive

 

[Aman]

Looks like SA are getting away if they carry this on they should post a decent total.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Afridi proving a dead weight

 

[MRSN]

instagram se sweep khana beizti hai..

 

[saiyan0312]

Razzaq deadly with bat... Pitch would suit his bowling.

Invest in youth..... hammad should have been given more chances... he has even changed his action.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol... Afridi getting thrashed....... I still hope itz a Spinning track..

 

[Osman]

what a joke Afridi is....why is Ajmal not bowling while DV is in

 

[iafzal]

time for Ajmal to bowl 2-3 overs

 

[ViciousMachine]

Yes seems so ... but if these 2 stay on crease till 30 overs ... Pak will be in trouble ...

def agreed! especially AB, even though Ingram looking more aggressive.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African Innin

Ingram will go this over

 

[saiyan0312]

well they are cruising...

 

[mosh101]

Spinners are bread and butter so far

 

[saiyan0312]

come on guys pick another wicket...

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

Ingram will go this over

For maximum ?

 

[Osman]

singles every ball

 

[GreenKnightRises]

malik fielding

 

[Osman]

expect pak in same position to block ball after ball

 

[saiyan0312]

great single.... they are very good runners.

 

[pak4life]

Afridi just throwing darts and his been selected as a front line bowler.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

Giving away easy singles ... Ridiclous

 

[mosh101]

Projected was 250 a couple of overs ago and now its up by 20

 

[B@$!T]

why isn't irfan playing again, and what about wahab?

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African Innin

SA playing sensibly

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

2 boundries !!!

 

[saiyan0312]

expect pak in same position to block ball after ball

Boundries are too long and they are our bread and butter... i doubt anybody even knows how to rotate the strike.

 

[Aman]

Not very smart going into a game in SA with 2 pace bowlers.

 

[iafzal]

Unless SAF choke, they are set for close to 300

 

[saiyan0312]

man that was shot but good stop by ajmal.

 

[saiyan0312]

46 runs in 47 deliveries .... great partnership.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Not very smart going into a game in SA with 2 pace bowlers.

Both the wickets went to spinner. If we had pace bowlers, we'd have 0 wickets, and Amla going bonkers.

I rather face Ingram on a 100 than Amla on 0.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Not anything special for the spinners.. They are handling them quite easily... Now when Pak comes to bat Abbot Tsostosbe and Kliendelvelt would look like Steyn Morkel and Kallis , scaring the hell out of our pathetic bstmen..

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

This is called strike rotation

 

[Afridirocks]

too many easy singles being given away

 

[saiyan0312]

singles and doubles will take the game away fully.

 

[saeedhk]

Pathetic captain.Bowling first and now giving away too many singles.

 

[saiyan0312]

This is called strike rotation

Koi humaray batsmen ko bhi samjhaye...

 

[Justcrazy]

132 / 2

 

[saiyan0312]

misbah is letting them get easy... they are settling down..... need a change of bowler.... maybe bring in younis khan

 

[MRSN]

ABD yet to unleash..taking just singles and twos..

 

[Leeon1994]

You know things are bad when Misbah is fielding the best

 

[Justcrazy]

As usual bowling useless against quality team.

 

[saiyan0312]

good over but they reach 50 runs...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

ONly Faf to come for saffers.. Nothiing much left after two wicket.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

Good over by hafeez

 

[saiyan0312]

afridi 5 from 31 ... not good man not good at all.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 likely here

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

Rory can hit maximum !!!

 

[MRSN]

Unlucky Hafeez..should have had Ingram on that last ball..

 

[saiyan0312]

ONly Faf to come for saffers.. Nothiing much left after two wicket.

They way these two are batting i dont thing the tail will be exposed.

 

[talha3]

Much better from Hafeez.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Bloemfontein | 10/3/13 | South African I...

300 likely here

If these 2 stays till 30 overs !!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

BTW.. little Mushi.. reached his ton

 

[saiyan0312]

Malik on.. and got some turn.. malik to get wickets now
