[saiyan0312]

well the wind is soo strong maybe it will blow the clouds away.

 

[WebGuru]

wow wait for the match for 1 week your team is in a strong position and rain says hello

so the winner is RAIN!

 

[saiyan0312]

220 runs in 20 overs how about that?

Hafeez to get a hundred ) )

 

[soso_killer]

Very disappointing Berhadien, did all the hard work and threw it away. Whats disappointing is that he stopped taking singles long ago. Should have been 71 atleast.

 

[WebGuru]

Anybody from Centurion here?

 

[saiyan0312]

so the winner is RAIN!

More probable then our win with those seniors.

 

[WebGuru]

Hafeez to get a hundred ) )

Kami and Bhola(Nasir) to get 50's

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rain might favor us here.

The overs will be reduced and the shorter the version of the game the better are our chances.

And Steyn is not very threatening at least in T20's and we have seen abbot performance already in recent T20 so guys time to cheer!

 

[saiyan0312]

Stats Alert: Wasim Akram twice in 1993 and 2003 while Waqar Younis in 1993 are the only Pakistani bowlers to take 5 wicket haul against South Africa in ODIs..

Irfan can be the third and he could have been had misbah not went all defensive.

On facebook.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

5.30pm Bad news, it's raining in Centurion and it doesn't look like it's going to go away soon.

 

[saiyan0312]

another stat.... in the current squad the highest score by our batsmen is 93 by younis khan... what century was it?

 

[saiyan0312]

5.35pm It's become worse in the last few minutes. Firdose: "Absolutely pouring now. Whole ground dark, and water sweeping across the covers.

Bye bye game.

 

[KB-24]

So rain saves us from defeat! 4-0 still on then!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Its getting heavier apparently but locals say won't last long.

 

[WebGuru]

Shaun Pollock just sent a tweet:

Shaun Pollock @7polly7: Oh dear man!! And the rain is heavy!!

 

[saiyan0312]

So rain saves us from defeat! 4-0 still on then!

4-0 from a 5 match series is a little better then 5-0... good work misbah..

wow match aside its looking beautiful...

 

[Hamza_]

Go Back rain. -.-

 

[uberkoen]

That's that then

 

[saiyan0312]

peterson previous highest score was 36 and he is now batting at 39 not out.

 

[WebGuru]

Rain Rain Come Again! Protect us from this losing Pain!

 

[WebGuru]

peterson previous highest score was 36 and he is now batting at 39 not out.

I am not really surprised because after the Test i was sure all his highest scores will come against Pak!

 

[WebGuru]

So 35 minutes already gone? What's the rain situation now?

 

[saiyan0312]

I am not really surprised because after the Test i was sure all his highest scores will come against Pak!

Yep,,, we have turned him into an all rounder... We tend to do that...

 

[WebGuru]

something went wrong with PP website for a while but seems ok now

 

[WebGuru]

on cricinfo they are still discussing Behardeen batting! the dicussion is getting longer and no more update on rain from cricinfo

 

[Nuekboi]

Yep,,, we have turned him into an all rounder... We tend to do that...

OR SO IT SEEMS.

We could be giving assistance to other teams playing SA. SA will think he is a genuine all-rounder until they learn the harsh truth

 

[WebGuru]

6.00pm: Slightly better news, the rain has lightened up. The ground can dry up quickly, I'm told. The cut-off time isn't after 9pm. So there's enough time left.

hmm sounds like a deep conspiracy going on

 

[Nuekboi]

Hopefully we can make this work by playing it Twenty20 style

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Btw I just tuned into the match.

Was at work.

Is the pitch really hard ? Or did we bowl awesome ? And what the hell happened that they recovered ?

haha seems like 3 of us copied and posted it from cricinfo site at same time

well if we can make kulasekra and perrera into legends then we can ofcourse make Peterson one too.

 

[Executioner]

LOL @ppl saying that steyn is not as good in T20s. He has an average of 22 in tests which is brilliant, but 29 in ODIs which is not good enough.

However, in T20s, he is a beast as well with an average of 16 with ER of 6.30. Great stats for someone who bowls during PPs and death overs

The answer is simple: Behardeen was happened!

 

[saiyan0312]

) ) ) yep . now its four

 

[Red Devil]

Hooray

 

[saiyan0312]

I got a simpler answer Misbah happened!!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I got a simpler answer Misbah happened!!

Lemme guess.

He took Ajmal out of the attack at the wrong time again?

How many times he got 4 Wicket Hauls in his 29 T20 matches? Only once even Morne is better thn him in T20's

 

[WebGuru]

Lemme guess.

He took Ajmal out of the attack at the wrong time again?

Seems like Misbah plans are getting leaked we need to inform him ASAP!

 

[saiyan0312]

Lemme guess.

Do you have inside information??

 

[WebGuru]

Another tweet from Pollock

Shaun Pollock @7polly7: Getting better, rain easing off, covers being drained as we speak!!

 

[WebGuru]

And here comes another tweet

Shaun Pollock @7polly7: The game starts to lose overs from 6:17pm, so it will definitely be a shortened overs match!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

SA already have enough runs to win this one.

 

[saiyan0312]

Shaun Pollock @7polly7: Getting better, rain easing off, covers being drained as we speak!!

WOHOO let the 220 target begin.

 

[WebGuru]

so are we ready for T20 or T40 show here?

 

[Sherlock]

Lucky we took that wicket before the showers arrived.

But posting anything over 200 will be mighty for this novice side

Saying that DL will def come in to effect.

 

[thecricket]

6.15pm Still raining, but very lightly. Another five minutes before the overs start getting deducted.

lol once again together

 

[WebGuru]

Shaun Pollock @7polly7: Will probably take at least an hour to clear once it is finally stopped spitting with rain, you lose an over for ever 4 mins from now!

 

[WebGuru]

I think at the end it will be decreased to 35 overs

 

[WebGuru]

Pollock seems so active on twitter!

 

[WebGuru]

So lets start predicting the highest run scorer in this match if its continue i think Nasir is going to highest run scorer in this match.

[WebGuru]

Thanks for updating us Polly!

 

[WebGuru]

Where is Firdose Moonda hiding no update from her

 

[saiyan0312]

lol once again together

HAHAAHAHAHA

well looks like we will be chasing 177 in 35 overs...

 

[Sherlock]

Thanks TalhaSyed.

Looks like a target of around 200 could be my guess.

 

[pungi]

guys, does anyone know how exactly does the D/L system works? I see there is an online D/L calculator but i just don't know how to use it. Anyone??

At the very least, fans should be able to calculate by themselves the revised score etc. rather than being dependant on broadcasters for such updates

 

[WebGuru]

6.30pm Very light rain and the covers are being drained.

 

[saiyan0312]

6.30pm Very light rain and the covers are being drained.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I don't think it would be more than a 30 over game. And if another thunderstorm comes, its over.

 

[saiyan0312]

They need a new system.

 

[WebGuru]

well something is better thn nothing i am up for at least 20 over game

 

[Sherlock]

I don't know. Seems like the SA innings is over so could mean something like 45 overs.

 

[saiyan0312]

well something is better thn nothing i am up for at least 20 over game

Which brings the question it will become a format that depends on youngsters and not seniors...

 

[WebGuru]

http://in.weather.com/weather/hourByHour-SFXX0061:1:SF forecast show that the chance of rain exist till the end of the match.

 

[saiyan0312]

6.30pm Very light rain and the covers are being drained. But the bad news is, the radar shows another storm is on the way. Oh dear.

 

[WebGuru]

Which brings the question it will become a format that depends on youngsters and not seniors...

and sadly we don't have shehzad and umar akmal today our T20 specialists and younis even after his T20 retirement we will see him playing in a T20 again!

 

[Sherlock]

So now a 20 over match could be the more likely.

 

[mosh101]

Another storm on the way ! Perfect.

 

[saiyan0312]

overs will be deducted at 7

 

[WebGuru]

Who want to see Myk playing in a T20 again? any fan there?
