South Africa vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Port Elizabeth | 27th Nov | South Africa Innings

[imshally81]

Good bowl

 

[Paradox]

The more youngsters the better. Wouldn't mind having 5 youngsters in this lineup come WC 2015 (Shehzad, Bhatti, Anwar, Sharjeel/Jamshed). Haris too. An even balance (5 youngsters/6 seniors) or so would be good for the team.

 

[Justcrazy]

10 overs for 40 runs would do the trick here

 

[Sledger]

Very good over.

 

[kinventor]

Good couple of overs, need to stick with spinners.

 

[Nuekboi]

Good start by Afridi. Just 2 off the over. 4 runs off last 12 balls. Maybe bring Ajmal on now?

Jamsheds done.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good over , but wicket required here

 

[imshally81]

Drama

 

[Justcrazy]

Bring in for at least 3 overs here , this is the moment ........

 

[hhhhdmt]

need two wickets in the next 6 overs at the very least. The likes of ABDV can accelerate so well.

 

[Sledger]

That was a big mix up and the fielder totally lost his head LOL.

 

[adzzy786]

We need more aggression! Need 2 quick wickets. Look at the batting to come aswell!! *PainFul*

 

[Justcrazy]

Ned to get in strike bowler here .

 

[imshally81]

4

 

[Sledger]

Junaid never has been the smartest.

Four now.

 

[Extreme Pace]

**** Pakistani fielding

 

[WNC]

Really need to break this partnership

 

[Nuekboi]

Need this partnership down soon

 

[the Great Khan]

yup looks like its 1-1. I cant see us getting a wicket here.

 

[Sledger]

8 off already.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

If you do not get wickets , they will later

 

[Sam18696]

runs coming more freely now...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

SA well on top now, drop catch is proving costly

 

[kinventor]

SA on top, cant see Pakistan winning this one.

 

[adzzy786]

I'm loosing hope faster than a Pakistan Batting line up collapse

 

[Justcrazy]

82 / 1

 

[steelo green]

SA well on top now, drop catch is proving costly

They aren't well on top lol I don't understand some people.

 

[Nuekboi]

Bring Ajju on

 

[Sam18696]

South Africa to win now.

 

[qamar84]

need to break this patnership

 

[the Great Khan]

rubbish from the so called professor. 8 runs? at this stage we shouldnt be giving more than 4-5.

 

[Sledger]

lol @ all this wrist slitting. Ajmal still has plenty of over left, ReqRR is 7. Snap out of this loser mentality.

 

[Paradox]

If these two bat till around the 30th over and leave the likes of Kallis, ABDV, Miller, and Duminy (with the help of McLaren coming in later) to chase around 8 to 8.5 an over in the last 20, they can very well do it. Would be just like any other T20 game for them. Regardless of the Ajmal factor - they would have the Batting PP on their side too.

 

[saeedhk]

Things looking not atm.

 

[Mr.Saga]

Hafeez please do us all a favour and leave the team after this match.

 

[Extreme Pace]

SA trying to stay on par with DL as well.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

180 in 26 overs is still a lot of runs to get. Considering SA's tail starts at Miller this game is still evens stevens.

 

[Paradox]

lol @ all this wrist slitting. Ajmal still has plenty of over left, ReqRR is 7. Snap out of this loser mentality.

100% true, but 7 an over isn't too hard to get with overs like 0 4 1 0 2 0 or 1 1 1 2 1 1, as they are getting atm.

 

[razabbas]

we dsprtly need a wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Spinners need to get wickets somehow.

 

[the Great Khan]

if they need 150 off 20 then thats a win for saffers

 

[Paradox]

Misbah needs to keep in account D/L too.

 

[imranraf]

I think, South Africa has the upper hand now. They are playing with ease. They have a lot of hard hitters yet to bat. At this time, SA favorite win the game unless we are able to get at least two more wickets before 125 is achieved. None of the bowlers are bothering them.

 

[Sledger]

Another good over by Afridi.

 

[Paradox]

6 from the over, with ease.

 

[kinventor]

180 in 26 overs is still a lot of runs to get. Considering SA's tail starts at Miller this game is still evens stevens.

Maybe if RRR get over 9, and the way they are batting it seem it will stay around 7.

 

[KB-24]

This is going to be a close finish.

 

[Justcrazy]

88 / 1 after 20

 

[PB]

1-1

 

[steelo green]

Just be patient.

 

[the Great Khan]

last two overs have gone for 8 and 6. thats just not good enuff for our spinners

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal back

 

[Robbie]

175 in 150 balls needed for SA

 

[Sledger]

100% true, but 7 an over isn't too hard to get with overs like 0 4 1 0 2 0 or 1 1 1 2 1 1, as they are getting atm.

Small section of the game in the wider context. Pakistani bowling has a proven track record and can still come back after this partnership is broken.

 

[imranraf]

They got 6 runs without a sweat. South Africa on cruise control now. Need wickets soon. This is turning very dangerous now.

 

[Paradox]

Ajmal to start second spell, this one will be crucial. He's a lot better in his second and third spells than his first - might just decide the game if he gets a few wickets (or vice-versa, leaks runs).

 

[adzzy786]

I knew if these 2 settled it would be game over. We NEED a wicket NOW!

 

[Sam18696]

1-1 no doubt

 

[Justcrazy]

Negative captaincy , keeping strike bowler away.

 

[Ahson8]

Bhatti dropped the game

 

[qamar84]

need a wicket here

 

[Sam18696]

Kallis and AB to come next. Come onnn out hojao

 

[Asif321]

is dropping dekock Gona cost Pakistan big time ?????

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal needs to improve fielding off his own bowling, always lets easy singles go past.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need wickets from , economical overs would not do.

 

[imshally81]

Bhatti dropped the game

When

 

[amjad145]

Bhatti dropped the game

And how exactly do you know that ??????

 

[Robbie]

This spell from Saed Ajmal may prove decisive.

 

[Justcrazy]

They are milking also.

 

[WNC]

SA in control easily at the moment. Need to break the partnership.

 

[Nuekboi]

Milked 5 off this over. This partnership is getting really threatening now

 

[Paradox]

Small section of the game in the wider context. Pakistani bowling has a proven track record and can still come back after this partnership is broken.

Of course. This partnership as well as whoever bats with ABDV is going to be crucial. Kallis does not have the ability to take away the game from the opposition with a big RRR (touchwood) and Duminy and Miller are very hot-and-cold. These two are making the RRR seem easy though and keeping it in control, making sure it doesn't go over 8 before the last 20.

 

[steelo green]

Saeed bhai is not throwing the "halka wala"

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

When comes to bat, Pakistan needs to play smart cricket and try not to get him out, he'll play a selfish knock for a fifty and then throw it away. Also try to keep both Amla and Kallis, if AB comes he'll change the game

 

[Sledger]

Big slog from Amla, only one.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA batting with intelligence here

 

[Friend786]

too easy runs.

 

[EarthBoltX]

dropping de Kock cost a century in the UAE.

At this rate, it may just turn out the same.. we'll see.

 

[Lords]

Kaka is playing very well for his age. Kid got a future.
