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

[t_kaay]

Wahab needs to hit out

 

[oyei]

2 players need to be replaced, YK and Malik, bring in Shehzad and UK

 

[WebGuru]

Afridi singlehandedly made this chase closer than what it actually appeared

Thats why we call him Boom Boom

 

[alberto]

Ajmal is a good nurdler!

 

[saiyan0312]

This.

Plus it was over waist high.... was a no ball

Agreed... the knock was brilliant and world class however he really should ahve calmed down as the run rate had lowered down alot.....

98 from 85.... the score is too far off.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

no it wasnt

It clearly was. ... He was almost crouching and it was still above

 

[saeedhk]

RRR came crashing down.Epic batting by Afridi.

 

[WebGuru]

i think steyn remaining 3 overs are enough to end our story.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Did not expect PAK to fight. I'm glad they did. We are wasting batting spaces with Younis and Malik.

 

[Munna]

Wahab better make up for the runs he leaked from all holes earlier today!

He better hit a quick fire 50

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Does Pak have a 5th gear?

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Gul would have been handy here

 

[saiyan0312]

Tch this is where not playing umer would hurt.... His quick fire 50 would have been useful.

 

[alberto]

2 runs!

 

[cricketpassion]

:4

 

[H2O1]

:4

 

[alberto]

What a shot!

 

[WebGuru]

Misbah started to talk now with Junaid just saw in the dressing room

 

[Saurav]

It clearly was. ... He was almost crouching and it was still above

yes he was crouching it was bit above.in normal height it'd been okay.also the bat was too far ahead when he made contact.ball was going down

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[H2O1]

Do not give strike to ajmal

 

[alberto]

He looks good!

 

[saiyan0312]

Our tail is not equipped to chase this down... wahab is remarked as a batmen lets see what he can doo... He wants forgiveness for his bowling ,,,he better hit some.

 

[Badsha]

Riaz to score a fifty?

 

[Indiafan]

It clearly was. ... He was almost crouching and it was still above

Ball hadn't reached him. Ball was dipping, by the time it reached his body, would have been below waist. Excellent knock though, would bring huge crowds in for remaining games

 

[t_kaay]

7 off the over. Not bad

 

[WebGuru]

So Misbah going to get a Gayle out of Junai if needed

 

[Saurav]

Pregnant dude back.....wahab gotta go for it

lol,what is Sehwag then

 

[saiyan0312]

88 from 73

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Our batting is not that bad when playing attacking cricket?

It just we are horrible at defending and stealing singles and doubles , Why not just play attacking cricket right from word go just like Srilanka did in 96 worldcup irrespective of condition and opposition total?
But that doesnt mean that Misbah ,YK and Malik can still play.

 

[t_kaay]

87 from 72 it's gonna be a good finish

 

[WebGuru]

If wahab dont make half of the runs he conceded i will never want to see him in the team again.

 

[Saurav]

it was coming down

 

[Badsha]

This is why I wanted Afridi to be sent in front of a stable Batsman.


That way, he would've paved the way for someone or gotten out and the team would've carried on.

Now he's paved the way for Wahab Riaz and co

 

[alberto]

Well played for a single!

 

[Munna]

Ajmal to hit the winning shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get rid of and Misbah

 

[saiyan0312]

ok how is wahab against spin. and how is ajmla against spin

 

[t_kaay]

You should have gone to specsavers

lol,what is Sehwag then

He's expecting twins

 

[1337]

Riaz to score a fifty?

He is/will struggle against the SA spin.

 

[Red Devil]

This match is pretty much over now.

But Umar Akmal and Shafiq definitely need to come in for the useless waste of spaces Malik and YK in the next match.

 

[Badsha]

And it was not a no ball guys.


A bit irritated Afridi didn't go for it with two hands but it was an amazing innings anyway.

 

[alberto]

YK should be dropped for Umar Akmal!

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to find a boundary every over some how.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

it was coming down

But down enough?

 

[kamz]

he dznt need to try to clobber every ball, if he's already got 10 off the over, dont forget he is obi wan---our only hope, so just bat sensibly for 8-10 overs

well its called hitting the bad balls, it releases pressure off the next overs, my friend.

If you hit Rory and Tsotsobe out, SA is playing with 5 bowlers. Then AB has 3 overs of Peterson, so it puts the team and the skipper under immense pressure.


So now you will see that AB will bowl out Peterson and Rory.

Its not he was clobbering every ball for a six, look at the start of his innings, where after every six he would go for a single.

 

[t_kaay]

Need a boundary

 

[uberkoen]

So many if's

 

[saiyan0312]

85 from 69

 

[Munna]

And the commies keep on stating what south africa needs to do to win this...

They are so unaware of our counter punch

 

[TalhaSyed]

just go for it!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Wahab is nit even trying to hit

 

[alberto]

He is not going for his shots!

 

[Sledger]

Wahab needs to stop batting like Dale Steyn and start bowling like him.

 

[Badsha]

This match is pretty much over now.

But Umar Akmal and Shafiq definitely need to come in for the useless waste of spaces Malik and YK in the next match.

I'm not a fan of Shafiq but he's better than Malik I suppose.

 

[alberto]

14 off 22 balls!

 

[saiyan0312]

wahab if you wont hit peterson out then you have to really attack rory.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

I'm not a fan of Shafiq but he's better than Malik I suppose.

Shafiq might be in the future. ...

Akmal already is. ..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 84 runs with 3 wickets and 11.0 overs remaining

 

[MJcricket]

Ball hadn't reached him. Ball was dipping, by the time it reached his body, would have been below waist. Excellent knock though, would bring huge crowds in for remaining games

If he plays those games.

 

[H2O1]

Why he giving strike to ajmal , stupid stuff from wahab again

 

[hmushtaq]

What language South Africans use

If it is English, it is very hard to pick what they are saying. I thought they spoke English, but cant understand a word (from microphones on the field)

 

[Nuekboi]

Goes to show that we can chase 300+ scores if we don't have YK, Malik and Misbah in our line up

 

[Sledger]

Stylish cut. Just one.

 

[t_kaay]

82 from 63

 

[alberto]

Wahab has had a sighter now and he will unleash his big shots!

 

[Justcrazy]

Boundary of every over and clever running is the solution.

 

[tarrar]

No more Bonus khan please end the torture, he is totally useless now. Umer Akmal should make his way in & replace Bonus Khan.

 

[ahmed778]

Afrikaans.

 

[alberto]

Wahab has got the temperament for batting!

 

[Asif321]

what a innings from lala ... misbah should have stayed for long poor stuff from him
YK and Malik should be thrown out of team asap ... couldnt bat on this surface

 

[Sledger]

Wahab trying to save the third test here in SA avoid the whitewash.

 

[H2O1]

:6

 

[Munna]

So wahab is officially the most crap intl player for this year

 

[Badsha]

Hahahahha Riaz ajeeb banda hai tu

 

[WebGuru]

a SIX from wahab

 

[akamaka]

Needed gul here

 

[alberto]

What a 6!

 

[t_kaay]

Ok. Game on. 76 off the last 10. I'm backing our boys on this track.

 

[saiyan0312]

RRR going at 8.06
