South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Centurion| 30th Nov | Pakistan innings

[JibranAnsari]

Stage well set for misbah today. 48/3

 

[jattafridi]

Tuk Tuk time

 

[Justcrazy]

walks in

 

[iafzal]

We have a long tail so I expect Misbah to up his tuk tuk to a new level

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need these two to bat next 10 overs and add 45 risk free runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amin is very weak outside off.

 

[Justcrazy]

runs drying up here.

 

[Sam18696]

lol at fielding

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Let's invest in players who show courage and grit. Umar Amin may look good in the nets but he simply does not have the maturity yet to do well in international cricket. Why does Maqsood look so much more settled than him although it is 2nd series?

 

[Justcrazy]

Ryan McLaren has surpassed Shane Warne's record of Most wickets in calender year against single Opponent. Saeed Ajmal is at number 3 in this list Ryan McLaren 25 v Pakistan in 2013, Shane Warne 24 v South Africa in 1994, Saeed Ajmal 22 v South Africa in 2013, Shakib-ul-Hassan 22 v Zimbabwe in 2009"

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not any different..minusing afridi doesnt make tail any longer.

 

[Nuekboi]

MISSFIELD.

Zero singles being taken. Disgusting cricket

 

[Ims1]

too many misfields .

 

[Colt]

Maqsood is way to unfit, needs to lose some weight..

That was an easy 2.

 

[Justcrazy]

Umar Amin is overrated ...... he is not a big innings player.

 

[Justcrazy]

56 / 3

 

[iafzal]

bola kar

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Perfect situation for Misbah's maiden century. Dead rubber. Lots of time to bat. Flat pitch. But i bet you he gets bowled by tahir.

Not a flat wkt, places where ball is holding and at places there is extra bounce

 

[Nuekboi]

Hey look at all these singles we AREN'T taking

 

[Colt]

Waleed is bowling quick today..

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Cmon Sohaib. Time for your maiden century.

 

[Nuekboi]

Stop standing there and take singles. 4 singles minimum

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Atlast Misbah takes a single

 

[Justcrazy]

pakistan need to keep finding ones and twos here

 

[imranraf]

This looks like a 300 pitch. But, we have lost too many early wickets to be able to get there. One of these guys need to get a ton to get anywhere close to that score.

 

[ekpakistani]

tuk tuk tuk time ... avg score batting first is 231 .. do you think we can get that and would it be safe?

 

[Justcrazy]

Most teams would easily be milking 4 - 5 runs easily here , with ocassional boundaries.

 

[Aman]

No atmosphere in the ground... I wish Umar was commentating

 

[imranraf]

tuk tuk tuk time ... avg score batting first is 231 .. do you think we can get that and would it be safe?

I don't think, 231 would be a safe score on this pitch.

 

[Nuekboi]

What total is safe on this pitch? 240-250?

 

[Boi]

These two just need to stick it out till the 35th. SA have no real death bowlers today so we can cash in during the last 10, insha'Allah.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maqsood has problems against bouncy deliveries. Needs to sort out his issues.

 

[imranraf]

It looks like SA has changed their kit from the second game to this game. Trying for some lady luck, I guess.

 

[Nuekboi]

Batsmen will need a decent over so they can start to get more confidence

 

[Boi]

Brutal cut for four.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shot :4

 

[Justcrazy]

67 / 3 after 16

 

[imranraf]

Misbah is exposing all three of his wickets on the legside. No need to shuffle that much.

 

[Aman]

Captain and future captain batting

 

[Colt]

Is this drinks or fruitys?

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnerships are the key ...

 

[Colt]

Maqsood needs to rotate strike more often and needs to lose weight.
He seems quite lethargic on the field, very Jamshed-esque..

 

[mosh101]

Maqsood gone !

Struggles with the short ball and well caught by mclaren !

 

[Justcrazy]

Maqsood throws it away here

 

[mosh101]

Green lips time

 

[Justcrazy]

67 / 4

 

[imranraf]

Maqsood misfires a pull. Gone. Tail starts with only 67 on board. This has all the makings of a blowout.

 

[Aman]

180 looks too much atm...

Seriously poor batting on a phatta

 

[Nuekboi]

Pakistan needs a ton from Akmal today

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lame dismissal. Maqsood should give weightage to his wicket. Very casual.

 

[mosh101]

Nearly 33 overs await for young umar !

 

[Aman]

Maqsood misfires a pull. Gone. Tail starts with only 67 on board. This has all the makings of a blowout.

Umar > Amin, Shehzad and Shafiq...

By that token the tail started when the openers came out to bat.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

normal service resumes. so much for the upbeat mood that Pak batting had improved!

 

[imranraf]

I am hoping green lipstick is the lucky charm for him. He better play good today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Maqsood has thrown it away every single time I have seen him play.

 

[Energetic]

Hardly any crowd even on a Saturday. Guess people have finally started to realise on same repeated matches. Yawn.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan in trouble here, They need to bat out all 50 overs at least

 

[mosh101]

Mclaren has his tail up

 

[Colt]

hahaha, Jr staring back at him...

 

[imranraf]

Umer needs something green for his brain as well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal fishing outside off.

 

[Zero]

Akmal needs to make a substantial score.

 

[London_Lahori]

Maqsood is making a habit of throwing his wicket away.

 

[HASHAM2]

U,Akmal Come on
not less than Ton today
every one want him to score runs Today

 

[JibranAnsari]

Akmal needs to perform today or make way for rizwan.

 

[Nuekboi]

I'm gonna leave for half an hour and see what position we find ourselves in

 

[Justcrazy]

Do not think Pakistan can white wash SA here.

 

[imranraf]

Umer Akmal looks nervous. let's hope he does not perish soon. He really needs a ton today.

 

[mosh101]

Tahir on

 

[JibranAnsari]

Will 25 be our highest today , tahir becomes dangerous when wickets are down.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tahir in now.

 

[jattafridi]

Need a good partnership

 

[ekpakistani]

200 from this point would be nothing short of a miracle

 

[JibranAnsari]

Playing tahir on backfoot is not a good idea.

 

[ekpakistani]

average bowlers are made to look unplayable .. come on Greens

 

[imranraf]

McLaren bowling confidently now.

 

[Colt]

Misbah and Jr partnership is needed, Anwar and Bhatti wont get us out of trouble every game.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah will play his fav game now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Mclaren being mase to look lije mcgrath by pakistan.
