South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | Pakistan Innings

[Lara400]

Don't think we could chase 244 let alone 344!

The seniors have it all to do

 

[Rizwan25]

Open with Afridi!

Chasing 344, time to let lala open. This is a gamble that could pay off if he clicks today!

Nothing to lose anyways

 

[WebGuru]

Once we made 344 against india while chasing 349 and sadly we lost that match.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Open with Hashim Amla and ABD, buy them from SA.

 

[Aman]

Afridi and Akmal

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

Yeah nothing to lose except a game, its never gonna happen, doesnt matter now much we want it to.

 

[kungfu90]

Les do iy..

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

Guyz just watch kami today!

 

[WebGuru]

Here is the scorecard of that match http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64880.html but that was against India and in Karachi

 

[in_cutter]

344 To chase!!

I predict 180a.o

 

[t_kaay]

Let afridi and kami open. If they get a flyer then we have a chance. No different to having misbah coming in after steyn has taken Hafeez again and the requuired run rate rickets due to tuk tuk

 

[WebGuru]

Guyz just watch kami today!

yea he is going to break sehwag 219 record right? So he will be equal to Amla+ABD

 

[Watsupdoc]

So it's 344 runs to chase - tall task! Will Pakistan be able to do it?

 

[Maher96]

344 To chase!!

I went to sleep at 15 over wtfff went wrong ffs??

 

[Lara400]

I'll go with my ususal figure when chasing 220 tops.

Washed up seniors to total a max of 150.

 

[ads101]

Come on! We'll do it.

 

[Lara400]

I went to sleep at 15 over wtfff went wrong ffs??

Just a bad nightmare buddy, except we were awake!!!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Defeat by 180 funs.

Misbah top score: 54 of 99 balls.

 

[Rizwan25]

Open with lala, no point wasting him at #7..

 

[H2O1]

344 To chase!!

I went to sleep at 15 over wtfff went wrong ffs??

Nothing special friend , i suggest you to sleep again !

 

[CalculatedRisk]

PAK does not have the talent, guts, or innovation to even target 300. This may be the biggest ever defeat in ODI cricket. Sad thing is that previous PAK teams had at least 3 players one could hope to succeed and we could have a chance, This team just does not have a champion batsman. Averages of 30 with strike rates of 70, that is enough to stay in the PAK national team.

 

[Sherlock]

Don't be stupid guys.

I expect Jamshed and Akmal to open at least.

Misbah won't risk Afridi, surely?

I would but he won't.

 

[Sherlock]

Thread should be retitled "SA strolls to easy win".

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Safe to say we won't get anywhere close to the total

 

[Maher96]

Nothing special friend , i suggest you to sleep again !

My sleeps been blown away. I thought i was checking some test score on my phone.


When is play resuming?

 

[H2O1]

Waqar saying on ten cricket , there is nothinh in pitch , no seam , no spin , but our bowlers didnt control well

 

[H2O1]

My sleeps been blown away. I thought i was checking some test score on my phone.


When is play resuming?

In 20-25 minutes

 

[Maher96]

Come on people forget it lets be positive. Whats their to lose!

We going to chase this down Come on pakistan!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

I went to sleep at 15 over wtfff went wrong ffs??

Tu ja kay suja mairay bhai.... baray phaintey hone hai abhi boss....

i predict 193 all out..... inki shklay he nahi hai 344 chase karne ke.

 

[Saurav]

lets see if Misbah sticks to his 'attack from one end' policy

 

[H2O1]

Tu ja kay suja mairay bhai.... baray phaintey hone hai abhi boss....

i predict 193 all out..... inki shklay he nahi hai 344 chase karne ke.

I believe on jamsed 130+ today

 

[saiyan0312]

Come on people forget it lets be positive. Whats their to lose!

We going to chase this down Come on pakistan!!!

Suja ... then in your dreams you will see us chasing this.... the only way i see us chasing this target is if hashim says "i am a muslim and will play for my brothers " and defects and opens and we make a 300 opening partnership.

 

[saiyan0312]

lets see if Misbah sticks to his 'attack from one end' policy

No he will adopt a new policy called attack from no end.... :gavaskar

I believe on jamsed 130+ today

I hope you are right... i want his century too....

 

[ritzy_123]

Suja ... then in your dreams you will see us chasing this.... the only way i see us chasing this target is if hashim says "i am a muslim and will play for my brothers " and defects and opens and we make a 300 opening partnership.

lol there is another way if Hafeez and Jamshed both of them can get 100

 

[taqi]

SA chased 434 here so be ready ...... but we have Misbah and YK so dont be ready

 

[Friend786]

whats more demoralizing for a bowler ?

a) batsman smashing boundaries at will

b) misbah ul haq setting field for the bowler

c) seeing kamran akmal behind the wickets

 

[H2O1]

lol there is another way if Hafeez and Jamshed both of them can get 100

Jamshed will get , cant say about hafeez , dale will target him

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can't wait to see Misbah & Younis bat. How will they approach this target? I can see in my head what they will do:

block block block. Get the RR to around 8. Give their wicket away and then give Afridi & lower order an impossible task. Afridi will then get slated for not finishing it off. Misbah & Younis will have nothing said to them because they are seniors and are defensive 'solid' batsmen.

 

[Bullet Drive]

How long till the start of the PAK innings?

 

[H2O1]

Saffers made 343 in 47 overs 3 maiden overs , why we cant make in 50 overs ?

 

[Khaleefa]

Well,,, Misbah decided to bowl first. It's now time to get his rear end on the crease and score a double century.
Leading the team to victory chasing 191 was NOTHING. Now is the actual test of captaincy.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Cricinfo says at 15 past.

 

[H2O1]

Well,,, Misbah decided to bowl first. It's now time to get his rear end on the crease and score a double century.
Leading the team to victory chasing 191 was NOTHING. Now is the actual test of captaincy.

Misbah can make double century , if there are 500 overs !

 

[saiyan0312]

lol there is another way if Hafeez and Jamshed both of them can get 100

Even if they do then we still cant win bcz it happened in the asia cup and we could only score 325 and we haad umer akmal who made a frisky 20 and younis who made a very quick 64.... This middle order looks like it will do nothing unless we give a 300 opening partnership.

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah can make double century , if there are 500 overs !

Nah too less ... or he would had one in test by now... he needs a thousand overs and every fielder has to be kamran akmal...

 

[Lara400]

Amla and AB score hundred for fun the ratio is ridiculous whereas our ratio is in the opposite extreme. Barring Jamshed I can't remember when last a Pak batsman scored one, Misbah does not believe in them.

 

[AFG_Brit]

It is possible to chase this score guys as south Africa once chased over 400 against australia on this ground. This is only 343

 

[H2O1]

Well said .

It really is that easy to write the script

 

[Bullet Drive]

Need to open with Kamran & Jamshed. Afridi at 3 please.

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

yea he is going to break sehwag 219 record right? So he will be equal to Amla+ABD

Oh never say never, trust me, just watch kami closely, he may not get 219+ but i dont say kami will do something special everyday you know. Im getting this funny feeling he will do something , im usually his critic but today they'll be something.

 

[Bullet Drive]

An Umar Akmal at 3 would be useful in this situation.

 

[KB-24]

Might as well open with Jamshed and Lala.

 

[H2O1]

Need to open with Kamran & Jamshed. Afridi at 3 please.

Jamshed and kamran open , hafeez at 3 , then adridi , then wahab , then malik , then yonis and then misbah

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

Need to open with Kamran & Jamshed. Afridi at 3 please.

Acha hojaye ga. fikar mat karo.

 

[Lara400]

With what we have I would send Akmal to open with Jamshed and throw Malik in at three.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hafeez and Kamran must play well today.They dropped those catches and if they don't then they should be kicked out, yes Hafeez too.But we all know that if Jamshed fails all the blame will put on him and Hafeez will sit at the post match conference telling us how he is blessed.

 

[PAK_SAR_ZAMEEN]

It is possible to chase this score guys as south Africa once chased over 400 against australia on this ground. This is only 343

Though i still know its possible.

 

[WebGuru]

so are we going to chase 344(SA) or 238(Amla+ABD) ? which one is correct

 

[MRSN]

Come on Pakistan..we can do it..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Its time boys. Come on PAK.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I have more faith in Malik to chase this total then Misbah, YK & Hafeez

 

[MRSN]

Hafeez vs Steyn

 

[H2O1]

I have more faith in Malik to chase this total then Misbah, YK & Hafeez

U did breakfast or lanuch ?

 

[imranraf]

Waqar saying on ten cricket , there is nothinh in pitch , no seam , no spin , but our bowlers didnt control well

Watch our buddhas do the dance against the SA pitching on the same pitch. We would be lucky to get even close to 250.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Steyn looks like a fool.

 

[MenInG]

PAK does not have the talent, guts, or innovation to even target 300. This may be the biggest ever defeat in ODI cricket. Sad thing is that previous PAK teams had at least 3 players one could hope to succeed and we could have a chance, This team just does not have a champion batsman. Averages of 30 with strike rates of 70, that is enough to stay in the PAK national team.

Sad it may sound but this is POTW.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Excited to see Steyn getting Hafeez. Can't wait

 

[Lara400]

Time for the so called seniors to stand up, Men or mouse time will tell. I know what the answer is.

 

[saiyan0312]

With what we have I would send Akmal to open with Jamshed and throw Malik in at three.

Same here.... will say lets see what you can do? akmal and jamsheed then hafeez then malik and then afridi and then younis and then misbah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sad it may sound but this is POTW.

Umar Akmal has the capability to chase 300. He's warming the bench.

 

[H2O1]

U did breakfast or lanuch ?

Misbah post match : i think pink color made us confused .

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 dot balls.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez being the chicken makes Jamshed play Steyn.

 

[Lara400]

Lol Hafeez's face will paint a picture of its own when facing Steyn

 

[saiyan0312]

same line up no innovation...

 

[Sledger]

SA will need to bowl well to defend this on this pancake track.

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK have to construct their innings well.

 

[Leeon1994]

Steyn is looking Gaaaa

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

240 tops, IMO.
