[Azlan Khan]

Done and dusted with the T20 Series. Here comes the ODI Format! Misbah-Ul-Haq will lead Pakistan.

Will be interesting if Pakistan would play Asad Shafiq or Umar Amin or both?

Let's go Pakistan!

[ChaudrySaab]

Intresting to see how Bilawal Bhatti goes if given an odi debut.

 

[Major]

thanks...

If Pakistan couldn't beat the saffers in UAE(when Amla wasn't availible) then i dont think they could do any better here... Still there are hopes

 

[Sam18696]

Pak will win this iA

 

[Cricket Khan]

when will be the toss ?

 

[ChaudrySaab]

thanks...

Come on brother, be optimistic!.

 

[mosh101]

Pakistan has won the toss and has elected to bat first

 

[Red Devil]

Misbah wins the toss

 

[Down2Earth]

Any news on the toss?

 

[Down2Earth]

Oh great. I'm guessing 150 all out. Misbah to get 70 of them

 

[mosh101]

Jamshed not playing, Asad Shafiq in !

 

[imranraf]

Alright. Misbah has won the toss. Let's hope the batsmen justifies his decision to bat first. First few over would be key.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Jamshed not playing, Asad Shafiq in !

Jamshed is playing.

 

[Asif321]

jamshed is playing

 

[imranraf]

Anyone has the lineup for today?

 

[Red Devil]

Jamshed is playing

 

[Asif321]

Anwar Ali and Billawal on ODI Debuts

 

[imranraf]

Just saw it. Sohail Tanveer out - Anwar Ali in.
Umer Amin out Misbah in

 

[Red Devil]

Anwar Ali and Bhatti on debut

 

[mosh101]

Jamshed is playing.

Apologies ! His name was not being shown in the slide so i assumed he is not playing !

 

[Moh@n]

Anyone has the lineup for today?

Pakistan: Jamshed, Shehzad, Hafeez, Maqsood, Misbah, Umar Akmal, Afridi, Bilawal, Ajmal, Junaid, Anwar Ali.

SA: Smith, Amla, De Cock, Kallis, AB, Duminy, Miller, Steyn, Philander, Morkel, Tahir.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

Wonder if Sohaib will come one down or Hafeez. They really should just cement the guy (Sohaib) in one place. Or is it possible? Sohaib 1 down, Umar Akmal 2 down and Hafeez at No. 6? It can't be.

 

[Asif321]

Good to see 2 debutants , they have given confidence to Anwar , he has to perform now

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Shehzad, Jamshed, Hafeez, Maqsood, Misbah, Akmal, Afridi, Bhatti, Anwar, Ajmal, Junaid.

 

[mosh101]

Oh God Anwar Ali playing

 

[Azlan Khan]

South Africa XI: Smith, Amla, De Kock (WK), Kallis, De Villiers (C), Duminy, Miller, Philander, Steyn, Morkel & Tahir.

Pakistan XI: Ahmed Shehzad, Nasir Jamshed, Mohammad Hafeez, Sohaib Maqsood, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Umar Akmal†, Shahid Afridi, Bilawal Bhatti, Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan & Anwar Ali.

 

[mosh101]

So Maqsood wont get the number 3 spot today !

Well done !

 

[mosh101]

South Africa XI: Smith, Amla, De Kock (WK), Kallis, De Villiers (C), Duminy, Miller, Philander, Steyn, Morkel & Tahir.

Pakistan XI: Ahmed Shehzad, Nasir Jamshed, Mohammad Hafeez*, Sohaib Maqsood, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal†, Shahid Afridi, Bilawal Bhatti, Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan & Anwar Ali.

Hafeez captain?

 

[Down2Earth]

I can't believe that they selected Anwar ali. He'll probably get a maximum of 4 overs and concede 30 runs

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Wonder if Sohaib will come one down or Hafeez. They really should just cement the guy (Sohaib) in one place. Or is it possible? Sohaib 1 down, Umar Akmal 2 down and Hafeez at No. 6? It can't be.

Hafeez will be at 3 and Maqsood at 4. You never know, but doubt Hafeez will bat anywhere below 3.

 

[Red Devil]

If Hafeez bats at #3 and Misbah at #4 where will Maqsood bat?

 

[Premier Cricketer]

TBH, it's not a bad team, if some guys find their form we could be in for a treat.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Hafeez captain?

According to Cricinfo..

 

[imranraf]

Jamshed is really lucky to get so many chances. Asad Shafiq has to feel bad. He has not been given as many chances. Not that he had much success either. Sharjeel Khan should be playing instead of Nasir Jamshed. But, he is not there. If Nasir does not perform today, Asad Shafiq should be given a chance next game.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

If Hafeez bats at #3 and Misbah at #5 where will Maqsood bat?

At #4

 

[Premier Cricketer]

If Hafeez bats at #3 and Misbah at #4 where will Maqsood bat?

Sir, basic math will tell us... he bats at No. 11! :umarakmal

 

[Itachi]

supporting pakistan. don't like amla. let this overrated player show him his place.

go pakistan go!

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Damn it AB. Why play your buddy Duminy instead of Mclaren.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Maqsood has to bat at three.For God's sake give him the no 3 position.

 

[Lords]

Two one day matches of my favorite teams at the same time

Its like christmas

 

[joly]

Pak has won the all important toss,now put 220 on the board and after that there should be no excuses for the best bowling line up in the world

 

[mosh101]

The national anthem always gives you a adrenaline pump

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan will not cross 200

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Damn it AB. Why play your buddy Duminy instead of Mclaren.

Kallis already provides a seam option. besides saffers need all the batting they can get.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

No sky coverage ?

 

[Extreme Pace]

I am expecting a really low score today with the likes of Nasir, Hafeez, Afridi in the top 7 vs Steyn, Philander, Morkel. Basically we are playing with 4 batsman Maqsood, Misbah, Umar and Shezad. Terrible squad and even more terrible 11 selection with no thoughts given on team balance.

 

[On_the_up]

No sky coverage ?

Via red button on SS3

 

[On_the_up]

Long tail for Pakistan.

Anything less than 250 is a home win.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Via red button on SS3

Aah thanks.

On another note.... first few overs pak 15-20 runs after 10 overs..

em sure. So boring.

 

[imranraf]

That looked like a wide, not given

 

[Pete Rose]

fatty struggling to lift the bat

 

[Red Devil]

Kallis' stats

 

[Dr_Bassim]

1 over 0/0.

 

[imranraf]

Maiden over to start

 

[On_the_up]

How I would like Steyn to get some phainty.

But the lily livered batsmen we have are not capable of delivering it.

 

[Sportsmanship]

PAK - 0/0 (1.0 Ovs)

 

[imranraf]

This is the most batting friendly pitch we will get in this tour. We better score around 275 today.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

So that's the first of many maidens to be played.

 

[On_the_up]

Aah thanks.

On another note.... first few overs pak 15-20 runs after 10 overs..

em sure. So boring.

Just need a decent start, even 50-1 off 15 would do.

Usually its backs to the wall stuff after we are 60 odd for 3

 

[Lords]

Why do pakistani openers look so scared?

keep your chin up mates.

 

[On_the_up]

Bit of movement for philanderer.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

2 overs 2/0

 

[Sportsmanship]

PAK - 2/0 (2.0 Ovs)

 

[imshally81]

Is Anwar Ali All Rounder ??

 

[joly]

This is the most batting friendly pitch we will get in this tour. We better score around 275 today.

you claim to have the best bowling line up, should be able to defend 220 with ease

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[Sportsmanship]

PAK - 8/0 (3.0 Ovs)

 

[On_the_up]

Nicely clipped away of his legs from jamshaid

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Flat pitch.

Need 250. 8/0 3 overs.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Does Nasir know how to play through the covers. How I miss Saeed Anwar

 

[imranraf]

Philander is getting some swing early on.

 

[On_the_up]

Wide

 

[imshally81]

finally

 

[On_the_up]

Another 4

 

[imshally81]

:44

 

[Premier Cricketer]

No Strike Rotation, bad signs, even with boundary it doesn't help.
