I Hate Rogers Cable

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Carved for 4 by Moyo, onto 99

 

[WasimG]

48.2 Nel to Shahid Afridi, SIX, Clubbed! Crashes into the roof over deep midwicket! Full-toss, as another yorker goes awry and Afridi smokes it across the line. The ball bounds off the roof and lands in the car park. New balls are coming out! What a batsman! This batting line up, if they can get it right, would be something to watch in the World Cup.

 

[12thMan]

damn it. only 11 off the over
1 over left

 

[PakFan1983]

1 more for Yousuf! I cant believe we got 347!

[Sparhawk]

theyr slowing down bro

100 to yousuf amongst the carnage. Very good knock indeed.

 

[TheSaint]

What a hundred-- take a bow Moyo-- quality-- no slogging and just pure batsmanship

 

[Serendipity]

Nel to Mohammad Yousuf, no run, Fullish, outside off stump, Yousuf goes on a bent knee to drive, misses. Looks at the umpire for a possible wide call. Doesn't, and rightfully at that, get it. Nel shakes his head at Yousuf, suggesting that was no wide mate. Immense fun!

 

[CoolArsh]

Now our bowlers have to bowl sensibly specially Rana

 

[SUPERSAMI]

100 for Moyo, brilliant knock, amazing player

 

[GQ]

Well played 100 for Yousuf! Pure Class all the way!!!!!!!

 

[Straight Bat]

[12thMan]

Yo Yo's second fifty in 35 balls. Well played

 

[TheSaint]

Good last over but 350 up

 

[Serendipity]

well done Afridi and MOYO, saved our pride someehwat here, need disciplined bowling today!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Just a single to Afridi, brings up 350, Moyo on strike for the last ball

 

[PakFan1983]

Well batted guys! Fabulous!

 

[Straight Bat]

[PlanetPakistan]

[ehjaz]

[badxhah]

One a pure heavy weight boxer

[SUPERSAMI]

Just one off the last ball, 351-4 is Pak's score

 

[Serendipity]

Pakistan 351/4 (49.6 ov)
South Africa
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first

Pakistan RR 7.02
Last 5 ovs 47/0 RR 9.40

 

[GQ]

Excellent batting by Pakistan after a long, long time, especially in South Africa. Let's look at the bowling now. Would love to see South Africa bowled out cheaply!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kashmiri]

what a subdued last over

 

[CricketBuff]

Great stuff, Pak batsmen. Thank you

 

[SUPERSAMI]

77 off 35 for Afridi, amazing innings

 

[Toony™®]

target 352.

 

[12thMan]

Pak 351-4 after 50
Wonderful hitting by Afridi. Well played by YK and Yo Yo and a great start by Nazir
only the 8th time 350+ have been scored in SA

 

[TheSaint]

Afridi, Nazeer blasted their way back into the team today - dream stuff for me - Now we can dream again!!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

101 off 111 for Moyo, brilliant knock

 

[Easa]

351/4

Fantastic, fantastic performance from Pakistan!

 

[GQ]

Highlight:

M Ntini 9 1 71 0 7.88

 

[RumiNYC]

our bowling looks weaker today tho, except Asif...let's see, how we approach against them today.

 

[siddharth]

That was a great come back from Pak after getting a severe back to back treatment from Saffies .Now the job is on the bowlers????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

afridi missed his century

No. Afridi got to his fifity and YOUNIS missed his century

 

[GQ]

R B 4 6 SR
Shahid Afridi not out 77 35 5 6 220.00

 

[Shahid A]

Boom Boom Afridi Is Back!

 

[majalani]

MOYO should go and put his feet up and they should send Hafeez to field in his place

 

[Amoeba]

Fantastic performance from everyone, well nearly everyone!
Now lets go and defend it like tigers now.

 

[GQ]

I would like to see A. Mahmood's performance today. Is it possible he can still make it to the World Cup despite not being in the initial 30 players submitted to ICC?

 

[Toony™®]

120 off the last 10.

 

[ehjaz]

well, Pak is about 41 runs short

 

[dog_again]

Very entertaining innings, some stunning hitting. Under lights in Durban 252 would be challenging, 352 is very unlikely.

 

[Easa]

well, Pak is about 41 runs short

)

 

[Shahid A]

well, Pak is about 41 runs short

how?

 

[iafzal]

well, Pak is about 41 runs short

Haha, glass is half empty for you?


Great charge by Pakistan on Nazir and YKs base.

I think YK played the inning to quite many who says he should not got at #3. Btw, his strike rate was faster than Moyo.

 

[deep82]

what a runfeast!

Classy knocks by YK & Moyo & typical brutal knocks by Nazir & Afridi-A perfect combination.

I always believed Saffies bowling is crap when conditions don't suit them. Ntini & Nel are exposed today. Same fate awaits them in world cup thats why I don't rate them on turners or slow wkts.

They might win today bcoz they bat all the way down but still the way their bowling is exposed by Pak bastman is an eye opener for team like India who made them like unplayable even on good batting pitches.

 

[HAFRIDI]

WHat an innings by the BEAST and NAZIR!

 

[iafzal]

Very entertaining innings, some stunning hitting. Under lights in Durban 252 would be challenging, 352 is very unlikely.

I think we are 1 bowler short.
2 specialist and then 4 part timers. If any one or two part timers have a hard time then we are in trouble. I think Sami should have presisted over Azhar. He just arrived last night after maybe 14 hour flight and with in 20 hours he is playing. At least he did not have to bat.

 

[deep82]

BTW the match is not over yet bcoz PAK is playing with only 2 specialist bowler in Asif & Rana(?) & 4 bits n pieces bowlers in Razzaq, Mahmood,Afridid & Malik. Still believe it would be easy victory for PAK.

Go Bowlers. Supporting PAK here.

 

[zaf1986]

well, Pak is about 41 runs short

rofl, this is a different pitch.
