[Leeon1994]

Malik's getting big turn

 

[ViciousMachine]

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

Any logic behind your pathetic captaincy comment? or just usual typical hindsight comment. If Pak had batted and were 70/5, most people make the same comment about pathetic captaincy.

The decision to bowl first was correct. Based on the timing and pitch, most likely either captain would have bowled first. If anything would be in pitch, it was going to be early.

 

[Osman]

so SAs best is in i.e De Villiers and Misbah is not bringing on Ajmal

I will give chance to rehman instead of malik drama

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sperhead comes in..

 

[ViciousMachine]

I will give chance to rehman instead of malik drama

I think its because rehman is almost useless with the bat. hard to pick him for anything outside tests.

 

[saiyan0312]

BTW.. little Mushi.. reached his ton

Thats what happens when you play on roads


reverse sweep and good fielding.

 

[mosh101]

All too easy for saffers atm

 

[Justcrazy]

Pretty ordinary bowling so far , selection is absurd .

 

[Bullet Drive]

138-2

 

[saiyan0312]

quick single stolen... well malik might be less expensive then afridi.

 

[MRSN]

Misbah experimenting vwoo

 

[Justcrazy]

138 / 2

 

[ViciousMachine]

BTW.. little Mushi.. reached his ton

Ashraful on 150 too. Even if a flat track, good fight from Bang. Still far behind Sri Lanka to save the test though.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pathetic captaincy.. as the best bowler being kept out of attack for FUTURE use...... get ABD and Miller quickly.. Else Misbah 's gonna pay for this..

 

[saiyan0312]

selection is absurd

considering his selection was based on bowling and not batting it has become totally absurd. was wrong but leg spinners being a dream in africa.

 

[ads101]

lol we are putting on Malik for Afridi now.

Time for Afridi to go I guess.

I believe malik bat only worked on sub-con conditions

 

[saiyan0312]

I back ashraful on a 200.... he is playing the old test cricket... 150 from 381.

 

[saiyan0312]

I believe malik bat only worked on sub-con conditions

Not subcontinental........ just INDIA.

 

[saiyan0312]

good looking girls malik on.....

 

[H2O1]

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

I will predict rsa score after 3 overs

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

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

Not subcontinental........ just INDIA.

Expecting 80 today....

 

[MRSN]

Man we are going to be chasing big and Tuk Tuks will be struggling..

 

[saiyan0312]

strike rotation at its best...

 

[saiyan0312]

Expecting 80 today....

his highest score is 56 ....

 

[saiyan0312]

top edge and no fielder.

 

[t_kaay]

looking at 280/290 here unless we get some wickets soon......we need to restrict them to sub 250

 

[H2O1]

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

Expecting 80 today....

From malik or whole pak IX ?

 

[Munna]

so seems like afridi is already on its course for getting dropped for the next game... going above 6 an over and his quota of overs being compensated by malik...

unless he comes back to pick up a couple of wickets in his next spell and does a wonder with bat of scoring a blistering 20 off 15 later tonight

 

[Osman]

pathetic captaincy from a pathetic individual....saves our best bowlers for the end and not to get wickets....

 

[saiyan0312]

singles and singles... no choking..... hafeez last over i guess.... he should get a wicket in this over.

 

[talha3]

I don't think Malik is bowling Afridi's overs here. Junaid and Gul aren't guaranteed 10 overs.

 

[ads101]

Felt Hafeez was wasted today, bowled too many overs when wasn't needed and could have got someone else in and left Hafeez for later.

 

[Strike!]

Haha pollock doesn't know the power play rules.

 

[saiyan0312]

more singles...

 

[ads101]

Felt Hafeez was wasted today, bowled too many overs when wasn't needed and could have got someone else in and left Hafeez for later.

Ajmal should have bowled more too, we needed wickets.

Salman: "Misbah's Thinkings: Saeed Ajmal is Partnership breaker; so let them make a Partnership of 100 then I will bring Ajmal. Bravo Misbah"


good comment on cric info.... 150 for 2 wow...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Safers.. to reach.. 271

 

[MRSN]

What is Ajmal for??

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

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

Ingram playing hafeez well.

I am impressed

 

[talha3]

Hafeez finishes 1-48 off 10. Not bad but not great by his standards.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

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

From malik or whole pak IX ?

Saffer basher Malik...

 

[speed]

Need to bring more fielders up despite no boundary in 50 balls they are scoring comfortably.

 

[saiyan0312]

last ball for hafeez for a single hafeez ends his quota...

10 overs 48 runs 1 wicket 4.77 run rate.... better then 5 fro 31 from someone who was supposed to destroy the saffers according too .

 

[GreenKnightRises]

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

Drift was missing.

Ingram played him well.

 

[ads101]

Hafeez finishes 1-48 off 10. Not bad but not great by his standards.

Pretty much. Though he did stop the boundaries, it's a very batting friendly wicket.

Disappointed he couldn't get Ingram.

 

[speed]

Pak batsman can learn from them on how to rotate the strike.

 

[saiyan0312]

great partnership thanks to great running.....

 

[Munna]

nasir was in a deep slumber there!

 

[talha3]

300 is on the cards here for SA

 

[H2O1]

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

Saffer basher Malik...

Well in that case i am looking for 100+ for jamshed alone

 

[saiyan0312]

great rotation... and partnership is ever growing.

 

[ads101]

Sigh don't like Malik bowling, but Afridi looks bad too.

 

[H2O1]

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

Target : 292

 

[talha3]

Disappointed he couldn't get Ingram.

Yep. Troubled him slightly in two overs but other than that Ingram played him well.

 

[saiyan0312]

to malik..... yep saffers will have choke big time to not get 260 atleast.

 

[mosh101]

Sigh don't like Malik bowling, but Afridi looks bad too.

And they said that saffers struggle against leg spin

 

[CalculatedRisk]

300 on the cards. I don;t know why we persist when Afridi who is treated as Shane Warne

 

[iafzal]

Malik even more expensive than Lala 21 of 3 overs

 

[saiyan0312]

11 runs from the over..... this is getting out of hand misbah and its your fault.

 

[Wazeeri]

Misbah leaves everything for the last 20 overs. Both in batting and in bowling.

The guy is too defensive for ODIs.

 

[Executioner]

SA should easily reach 300 from here. with Farhaan, duplessis and RP to come!

why holding back ajmal

 

[mosh101]

Sweep and fourrrrr

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal back finally.... but is it too late.... these two couldnt be more settled

 

[Leeon1994]

on the way to making Ingram a worldclass batsman

 

[mosh101]

#1 ODI bowler being treated with no mercy

 

[Aman]

300+ for sure.

 

[H2O1]

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

300+ for sure.

292

 

[iafzal]

taken to the cleaners

 

[saiyan0312]

And they said that saffers struggle against leg spin

He just wanted to justify his selection. he might as well have said we are taking him bcz saffers are scared of him....

two fours.... the pitch has gotten very easy to bat .... we should have went with pacers.

 

[talha3]

10 pretty much risk free off our best bowler.

300+ unless a mini-collapse occurs.

 

[H2O1]

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

This is ideal pitch for jamshed and asad to score 100's

 

[mosh101]

Junaid khan back to share some phainti

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

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

Ingram has been highly impressive against spin

 

[mosh101]

He just wanted to justify his selection. he might as well have said we are taking him bcz saffers are scared of him....

two fours.... the pitch has gotten very easy to bat .... we should have went with pacers.

Tell that to misbah

 

[saiyan0312]

junaid back.... lets see.

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa 173/2 (31.0 ov)

 

[mosh101]

Pitch looking easy to bat on? Wait till we bat, there'll be a bomb explosion in the pitch for saffer bowlers !!
