[MenInG]

Toss will take place soon

 

[shahidafridi123]

Pak won the toss and elected to bowl

Pak: Riaz for Gul

SA: Kleinveldt for Abott

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Does game start in 10 mins or 40 mins? So I know when to get out of bed and go down.

 

[MenInG]

PAkistan win and will bowl first

 

[Afridirocks]

should have batted first

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

10 min

 

[saiyan0312]

why do i get the feeling we will lose to guys wearing pink clothes

Anyway great by saffers supporting the NGO.

 

[MenInG]

Game starts v soon

 

[Bullet Drive]

We should have batted first today. Also no U.Akmal?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pathetic to say the least. U.Akmal dropped for 3 games.

 

[uberkoen]

Gullaaa out

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done Saffers on supporting breast cancer today. Hope there are some ladies in bikinis today.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just 6 mins to go.

 

[KB-24]

What is Misbah's obsession with chasing ??? He makes his decision worse by picking a terrible batting line up. Umar still warming the bench!

Oh well, SA will bounce back and likely win today. We will pay dearly for Misbah's tunnel vision in the coming future.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good to see Gul out. I see him dropped as opposed to injured.

 

[uberkoen]

Only if they had dropped YK and played Akmal Jr. instead.

 

[iHammad]

Umar Akmal should've come in for Kamran Akmal, make him keep as well

 

[Bullet Drive]

Don't think SA will lose this one. Don't think PAK has it in them to chase again. Poor decision by captain clueless.

 

[Bullet Drive]

U.Akmal should be in the team ahead of the useless YK

 

[Bullet Drive]

Irfan is fit and playing. Good news.

 

[iafzal]

We should have batted first today. Also no U.Akmal?

Per Polluck, win toss and bowl first as there is some grass.

 

[Bullet Drive]

What's weather like today

 

[IAJ]

The ball will do something early on and if we can get some early wickets we can put them under preassure.

Remember this is a day game so no chasing under lights here so maybe it isn't bad to bowl first after all. Let's see.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great to see Riaz in.

3 lefties though.

 

[uberkoen]

It seems as though the pitch is a good one for fast bowling. I'm hoping Riaz can make use of it and get a few wickets.

 

[iHammad]

PJ Mir, what does he know about cricket?

 

[Kianig89]

Need to capitalize again Irfan should continue from where he left...........i have feeling we'll sneak this one as well GO GREEN GO beat these pinkies......

 

[Bullet Drive]

Irfan to open the bowling!

 

[Kianig89]

PJ Mir, what does he know about cricket?

Played 3 ODis for Pak part 75 WC squad faced roberts n Co i think

 

[iafzal]

all our pacers can hit 140k consistently, same cannot be said about Saffers although they can seam and pitch the ball on the right spots

 

[iafzal]

I expect to see a few 150k+ deliveries

 

[Bullet Drive]

Meant to be a full house

 

[iHammad]

Let's go Pakistan!

 

[Munna]

Well done Saffers on supporting breast cancer today. Hope there are some ladies in bikinis today.

Lol@support

They are actually against it

 

[IAJ]

Amla with that lovely beard in pink

 

[Bullet Drive]

This is the pitch where the 434 game was played.

 

[iafzal]

This is the pitch where the 434 game was played.

ground not the picth, curator said it is standard test pitch

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant bowling by Irfan. What a ball!

 

[Leeon1994]

Irfan's movement is drool worthy

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bounce, swing and pace.

 

[Munna]

Good two delieveries to start with

 

[iafzal]

Saffers looking pretty in pink

 

[Kianig89]

For a change i think in our next series vs IRE n Scots we should play in BArcelona like jerseys.....will be fun

 

[Bullet Drive]

Love the stare by Irfan!

 

[talha3]

Who said Irfan doesn't swing it?

 

[Munna]

I hope wahab makes most of this opportunity!

Happy to see gul out.. good riddance

 

[Leeon1994]

Terrific over, Maiden.

 

[IAJ]

PJ Mir, what does he know about cricket?

He has played 3 ODIs for Pakistan and took almost 200 wickets in FC.

Has also been involved in PCB, I think he was Paksitan's media manager some years ago and is also a member of MCC I believe?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant over by Irfan. 140kph+ with swing, seam, bounce and pace"

 

[iafzal]

142k 5th ball

 

[Bullet Drive]

Always knew Irfan could swing the ball. Seen him get inswing over in PAK.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Thought that was pommie with the camera

 

[Bullet Drive]

Junaid to open from the other end.

 

[Leeon1994]

A better version of Aamir?

 

[Munna]

That was a very non pakistani over by irfan!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely carry by Junaid.

 

[iafzal]

Two or three of Pak players are playing pink drawers in support of fight against breast cancer. At least claimed on TV by the commies

 

[ViciousMachine]

Good over to start. Hope Junaid/Wahab support him well and dont bowl garbage.

 

[WNC]

Haysman: A couple of the Pakistani boys are wearing pink too, they bought pink jocks. There Shaun, thought that will make your day.
Pollock : Sometimes you give too much information mate

 

[Bullet Drive]

28 ODI wickets for Junaid now. His career moving along nicely.

 

[Leeon1994]

OMG Amla gone

 

[Bullet Drive]

What a ball!

 

[Munna]

Plumb!!!!

Great ball!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pollock is a big big Junaid Khan fan!

 

[Kianig89]

Good to see PAkistan play with genuine semaers hope they perform today

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pitched outside leg. I'm sure.

 

[Saurav]

damn forgot to make fantasy changes,thought it was a DN game

 

[Bullet Drive]

No inside edge. I think not out.

 

[Munna]

That is out... no doubts..

A review wasted courtesy smith!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just pitched outside leg slightly!

 

[Leeon1994]

Come on Junaid pitch it inside dude.

 

[WNC]

Amla saved by the review. Not Out

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good review taken by Amla. Knew it pitched outside.

 

[IAJ]

good review. pitched outside

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great bowling by Junaid.

 

[Leeon1994]

I see another Asif-Aamir in Junaid-Irfan

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hurried Amla for pace there!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dahrmasena is a terrible umpire.. everyone knew that pitched outside leg.

 

[Munna]

Oh damn... that was so close yet so far

 

[Sledger]

Amla survives.
