South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st T20 | Johannesburg | 20-11-2013 | Pakistan Innings

[Fahdi]

Waiting for Akmal to turn into Kohli now that he is batting at 4.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Tahir to bowl now.

 

[Robbie]

Required run rate : 8.62

 

[Naheem]

sir akmal kohli takes single

 

[saiyan0312]

bad ball wasted.

 

[Naheem]

Rakesh S: "Jamshed's torturous stay comes to an end in a most silly manner. Maybe it's natural, because he was playing and struggling in such a manner."

 

[mosh101]

D/L par score 63

 

[Haripotter]

umar Akmal excuse club members got their dreams fulfilled by today... Let's see wat he does at No.4

If he fails... No excuses justified a nymore

 

[saiyan0312]

we are well below the par score... awesome lightening.

by umer.. dangerous.

 

[mosh101]

Much needed four !

 

[amlafan79]

Umar Akmal at 4 0.0. Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?

he will win this match in 18 th over

 

[dhump]

tahir might have caught that but he slipped.

 

[Naheem]

bach gya sir kohli )

 

[mosh101]

Nice speedy googly

 

[imshally81]

Good running again

 

[Robbie]

8 runs of the over.

 

[JilaWatan]

classy by Umer

 

[Naheem]

hafeez

 

[Caved12]

terrible batting by Jamshed. Hafeez was talking to him a bit too much. They are international players, no need to have a chat after every ball. These days I feel that I know more cricket than our playing 11. Our team is under a lot of pressure, and I don't think our captains are doing a good enough job to resolve this situation.

 

[mosh101]

Rain is in and we're behind D/L

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 59/2 after 9 overs

 

[Robbie]

95 needed in 66 balls

 

[iRfaN_LA]

rain.... we are well below PAR score.

 

[Naheem]

rain plz

 

[imshally81]

Ohhhhhhhhh

 

[saiyan0312]

Rain... Oh boy.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

The rain is coming down heavily where I stay a few kms away

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rain stopped play

 

[KB-24]

And Pakistan has effectively lost this match thanks to D/L

 

[Nuekboi]

Lets hope rain does not stay on for too long. Would suck to lose a match from this position

 

[iRfaN_LA]

if we lose because of PAR score, it will only be due to Jamshed's terrible innings. He needs to be kicked out of the side.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

Rain, pathetic tuk tuk from Pakistan, they should know D/L was on and were just blocking their way to a loss.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Here comes the lightning and thunder

 

[Premier Cricketer]

And Pakistan has effectively lost this match thanks to D/L

We would have loss anyway.

 

[Naheem]

rain plz stop

 

[IAJ]

How is it possible to bee so much behind par when you are batting second and know what to do! Poor stuff.

 

[soso_killer]

Pakistan should be 65 according to D/L method after 9.1 overs

 

[Nuekboi]

Please rain dont stay on too long.

 

[mosh101]

Hope we can get a game :/

 

[Naheem]

9.05 pm It's begun to rain and the players go off the field. It's pretty heavy too.

 

[Executioner]

Pakistan have no but themselves to blame here!

 

[imshally81]

Heavy raining

 

[BHM :D]

Ah game was nicely poised

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Seems like they will not get back on again

 

[Sam18696]

South Africa win by 5 runs (D/L)

 

[Haroon786]

Game should be shortened.

 

[JilaWatan]

hafeez should have known the sitatuom that he could have evened PAR with a six. and he's the Professor

Do you think it's just a shower or game off?

 

[imshally81]

Only rain can safe say from here

 

[Amjid Javed]

looks like game over with this rain.

 

[Lords]

Whats up with Mahindra SUV ad in South Africa. Do they export vehicles to SA?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Well jamshed is a terrible player. This guy needs to go back and work on his game.

Allah karay barish chalijaye

 

[Steyn_Remover]

Game over wont come back

 

[JilaWatan]

dam if dhoni was facing that last ball he would have hit a six and evened with DL. hafeez just missed the chance to win the game

[London_Lahori]

That rain looks bad. It can't stay that heavy so I'm hoping it's a quick storm.

We could have won this with all the batting we had left, and the way the ball flies in Joburg!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Atleast they can save face by saying rain spoiled it for them

 

[pungi]

Even after it started raining, and knowing fully well that they are behind by 4-5 runs, neither Akmal nor Hafeez tried to hit a four to get over D/L target. Unfortunately, partly bcoz of their own insecurities and partly bcoz of rabid fans, Pakistani batsmen just can't bat with a little bit of freedom as they know if they get out in the process, all hell will break loose.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Game over wont come back

Where do you live

 

[EarthBoltX]

It'd be quite tragic for this game to end this way.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It'd be quite tragic for this game to end this way.

True that.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

One over probably already gone by now.

 

[JilaWatan]

hafeez had a chance to win the game

I think it's game off. Has stop thundering and is a slight drizzle.

oh yeah and the farmers love the vehicle

 

[Haroon786]

Update?

 

[soso_killer]

Actually Umar Akmal miss field is costing Pakistan the game. The 4 byes of the last ball of the innings

 

[shehzi]

The rain's thinned at the Wanderers, where a pitch invader has managed to get on to the field. He had a decent run before the guards got him. - cricinfo

 

[FusedBulb]

He calls himself professor but he is as dumb as it gets.

No concept of D/L awareness and hence keeping an eye on calculations WHEN YOU KNEW ABOUT THE RAINY FORECAST.

We are 4 runs short of D/L method victory.

 

[mosh101]

What about Jamshed's hideous knock? Too many dot balls that could have been made use of !

 

[Lords]

PAkistan today came closest to win a match against SA in recent past. They were just one shot away and rain would have done the rest.

Captain should have had an eye on the situation and swung at everything when groundsmen were on their mark.

I say hafeez and the management should have been aware of the situation.

 

[yadunoe]

better too lost this way lol

 

[soso_killer]

The game will be called of as the field will deemed dangerous
