[Azlan Khan]

Bro the series is 1-0

Fixed. Sorry for that.

 

[Premier Cricketer]

Looks like rain this match, if it's not abandoned then we should bowl first due to D/L factor.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Toss delayed, raining. Hope we manage a full game.

 

[Red Devil]

Hope we get a game today. Really want to see some Cricket.

Covers coming off.

 

[Sunny786]

I really want to see a full game. I want to see our new players in action.

 

[Xoib]

chances of rain drastically goes down by 11 o clock so if the game can start by that time we could have a 35-45over game depending when we start.

ya ur right... thx for the info..

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

the lesser number of overs the better for Pakistan, unless it becomes a t20 and misbah doesnt bat at 6

 

[HASHAM2]

Match Officials Say 11.45 SA Time is the earliest Possible start
if Rain dont Happened again

seems like a wasted game.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

1 hour 45 minute wait for pitch inspection?

 

[nafaiz]

just imagine if pakistan have played with malik, razzaq and tanvir for anwar ali and bhatti right from the t20 series, as they always use the newcomers to warm the bench....

ooooooopppppsssssssssssss.......would have been the same old story.......)

now this is what u call a breath of fresh air...bhatti, anwar ali, maqsood, showing some positive attitude and match awareness...

send maqsood one down, he wants to play big innings if someone supports him from the other end... 2 out of his 3 matches he batted till afridi arrives...

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should go in with 5 bowlers , including

Please treat as a proper bowler.

 

[Kianig89]

If its washed out then we can't lose the series #defeatishapproach not sure whether i should pray for wash out or game

 

[HASHAM2]

Watching Gibbs Interview on PTV Sport
Looks Cloudy

and in Background Ground Stuff is working to take Covers Off

We may see 40-40 Overs match today

 

[HASHAM2]

if Pakistan wins the toss Bowl First

Bowl will swing in first 10 Overs

we should not Take Risk

It will be hard to face Morkel,Steyn

 

[JibranAnsari]

40-40 will be good for us.

 

[Mamoon]

Yes and Junaid will not get an inch of swing in these conditions as well.

 

[HASHAM2]

Yes and Junaid will not get an inch of swing in these conditions as well.

Steyn/Philander swing is Threat

we may get all out on 100 on this kInd of Conditions

Bowl First

 

[pakistani pride]

Why is a short game better. In normal conditions spin would have been hard to face on this ground. A dry day and 50 overs would have suited pak better.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yes and Junaid will not get an inch of swing in these conditions as well.

Why drag Junaid everywhere. Give it a rest Dude!

The longer the games , the lesser it suits pakistan!

 

[Mamoon]

I had to mention him in the context of the swing that will be available in the first 10 odd overs.

[London_Lahori]

Great News
Play will Start at 3m Pakistani time

 

[cricwiz]

11.20am It's going to be a 12'o clock start and it will be a 45-overs-a-side match, says Heinz Schenk, a journalist from the Citizen, who is at the ground. He says the rain is not likely to return for the day, so that is a good news.

from cricinfo

 

[Kianig89]

As per cricinfo 45 over game

 

[WebGuru]

If the news about 45 over is true thn expect better performance with the bat from Pakistan today! you know why? Because no pressure of batting for 50 overs!

[Red Devil]

Team unchanged .

 

[Red Devil]

45 Overs per side.

 

[Kianig89]

so we are batting

 

[adzzy786]

I called in sick @ work to watch this game. We better win!

 

[90MPH]

First 10 overs will not be easy to bat - SA might get plenty of seam and swing.

 

[nafaiz]

saffer won the toss and field first... can anyone post the 1st innings avg par score in port elizabeth

 

[mosh101]

So Pakistan batting first !

Bring it on

Testing conditions first up ! Goodluck to the openers

 

[Excellence]

Misbah gone mad. Nasir still in the team.

 

[Kianig89]

Tsotsobe n Mclaren in for MOrkel n Philander

 

[Kianig89]

COme on lads lets fight it out

 

[adzzy786]

Has the game started?

 

[Red Devil]

shortened matches ruin the mood for me. Anyone else has the same feeling?

Only 5 overs. No big deal

 

[Boi]

Good job Philanders not playing. Might've been a handful here if there's some moisture around.

 

[mosh101]

I called in sick @ work to watch this game. We better win!

Aap ka khoon rang laayega bhai

 

[cricwiz]

Last time ODI was played at PE... SA scored 300+ against Aus in 2011...

 

[Kianig89]

PTV showing ads after ads

 

[Azlan Khan]

15 mins away from the first ball.

 

[pungi]

Pakistan should surprize everyone by sending Afridi and Ajmal to open.

 

[nafaiz]

First 10 overs will not be easy to bat - SA might get plenty of seam and swing.

exactly... if an early wicket goes misbah should come in... bcoz hafeez will be a walking wicket for sure today if he comes at no.3

 

[OZGOD]

Has play started yet? Because my Willow is still showing the India WI match

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Batting first not going to be easy, they will have to really apply themselves here and grit it out. Besides I am not going college to watch them with my friend's so they better win. In Shaa Allah.

 

[Moh@n]

Morkel and Philander not playing , retarded selection from SA..

 

[nafaiz]

i reckon south africa must have gone with more seamers in their lineup..

should have been a better strategy... philander should have been retained....

 

[mosh101]

Philander would have been a menace under these conditions

 

[Red Devil]

The ball is definitely gonna swing.

I fear the worst

 

[mosh101]

Two openers out in the middle and its time for action
