[saiyan0312]

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!

Worse after misbah has been booted out of T20 we will see him play one.

Well i would like to see him playing once at least to see if a T20 match can change misbah mind?

 

[WebGuru]

It appears. There's still rain in the air.

 

[SL_Fan]

Man this Peterson is a real fighter with the bat. Have seen him get SA out of jail numerous times in all forms of the game. Got a lot of ticker.

6.45pm One cover has been removed.

 

[SL_Fan]

From crapinfo

6.45pm One cover has been removed.
6.40pm The umpires are walking out for an inspection, it appears. There's still rain in the air.
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.
6.15pm Still raining, but very lightly. Another five minutes before the overs start getting deducted. Correction, I've just been told overs start getting deducted from 7pm.
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 until after 9pm. So there's enough time left.

 

[saiyan0312]

they are removing covers..... come on...

Yawnnssss

 

[mosh101]

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!

Well i would like to see him playing once at least to see if a T20 match can change misbah mind?

Doubt that mate

 

[WebGuru]

6.45pm One cover has been removed. And another one after that. Looks like all of them are coming off now.

 

[saiyan0312]

great another inspection will take place at 7 15 .....

 

[WebGuru]

Billy said they welll come for another inspection at 07:15 PM

 

[Kianig89]

So if there had been no rain then the Pakistan innings starts now............but looks like it could be 25 over contest

 

[WebGuru]

What was that story about school boys getting struck by lights?

 

[MRSN]

6.50pm Billy Bowden hopes play should start within half an hour of the inspection.

 

[WebGuru]

Ground staff working so hard...

Damn inspection @ 7:15 and then Play may start at 7:45p........almost an hour from now......will be a 30 over

 

[saiyan0312]

6.50pm Billy Bowden says the rain has stopped. They'll be back for an inspection at 7.15pm. The outfield is drying very well, he says. He hopes play should start within half an hour of the inspection. Bowden says the sad incident involving the schoolchildren who were hit by lightning certainly played on the umpires' minds when they asked the players to leave the field

 

[mosh101]

Im sure more rain will arrive by 7:15

So these 8 balls will be crucial as it will influence the D/L............need to get a wicket then

That's true but hafezz should be appointed as Captain in this situation now if really want to win Misbah is not good enough for shorter version.

 

[Nuekboi]

He held on to his catches, so it is obviously an outstanding performance, but I anticipate a score of 2(4) in batting

 

[MRSN]

just hope it becomes a Pakistan's day..:kami's show isn't over yet..he still to surprise us with the bat..

I am sure his score will be in double figures today who know 10 (15)

 

[shokz1408]

if SA have to bat 40 overs, does their score increase at the end of the innings because of D/L?

if they get to 200 we'd be chasing around 250..lmao that would actually help SA's cause..

NEVER i know D/L is bad but not that bad to convert 200 into 250

 

[shokz1408]

Lol I keep remembering that 3rd ODI vs india, where we couldn't chase 168. South africa should win this match.

 

[mosh101]

Are you in Centurion now?

I wish I'm stuck in the scorching heat of dubai

[WebGuru]

7.10pm Here's more on what happened last month, with nine schoolchildren being struck by lightning. One of them is still recovering in hospital, and we hope for the best.

 

[shokz1408]

Man please stop reminding us of that match we all have seen that match but please let see how this match goes so thn we can have a better chance to discuss that!

I am discussing this match. I said south africa should win. Pakistan will fall short, like that 3rd odi vs India.

 

[saiyan0312]

ok soon we will know what is going on.

 

[Nuekboi]

More likely to get mauled by a bear than hit by lightning... I feel very sorry for those kids

it's a 44 overs game..so SA gets 20-30 runs in advance?

[Sledger]

Tricky total, won't be an easy chase.

 

[Love Pakistan]

So saffers will bat like 6 more overs. Peterson can be dangerous... gotta use hafeez and ajmal

 

[MRSN]

so SA's Run rate at the end of inning will determine on how many extra runs they get?Pak should bowl them out soon then otherwise we could be chasing 250..

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Waqar thinks that Pakistan will not bowl any more spinners.

I'm not so sure.

I think Ajmal will keep bowling.

 

[Sherlock]

44 overs?

Anything around 220 is tough.

 

[saiyan0312]

ok what are the chances misbah will go with defensive captaincy and make saffers play till the 44th over.

 

[Kianig89]

Lets see if the wet ball can help us

 

[Love Pakistan]

Interesting stuff

 

[TalhaSyed]

Lets see if the wet ball can help us

Outfield is bone dry thanks to a great drainage system in Centurion - don't think it will make much of a difference.

 

[saiyan0312]

Waqar thinks that Pakistan will not bowl any more spinners.

I'm not so sure.

I think Ajmal will keep bowling.

Cant give overs to gul so most probably junaid and irfan will bowl with ajmal in the mix.

 

[mosh101]

Hopefully no rain from here on !

[saiyan0312]

how long before the match is started.

 

[shokz1408]

Why is there always a lengthy gap between when the inspection occurs, and when the players come on the field? In this scenario, there has been no rain for the last hour+, the pitch is good, the covers are off, what are they waiting for?

 

[Kianig89]

This 5 overs will be crucial Junaid and Irfan if fit should bowl
