Triangular Series | South Africa v Australia | 2nd Match | August 27, 2014 | Harare

[Arsal_AK]

Marsh gone too.

God, they are terrible against spin.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Bailey in.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Their hack looks better than our hack, Sharjeel.

Or Afridi.

Anyways seeing this how do you rate our chances against them later this year.

 

[fumaster]

Chaps, is this being broadcasted in the UK?

 

[Mr Consistent]

2nd wicket for Sir Tahir

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Marsh gone too.

God, they are terrible against spin.

Our batsmen aren't much better.

They also fell to Tahir.

 

[London_Lahori]

Tahir has always done well in the ODI format.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Or Afridi.

Anyways seeing this how do you rate our chances against them later this year.

If Ajmal plays probably 75-25 to Pakistan.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Chaps, is this being broadcasted in the UK?

Nope.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Our batsmen aren't much better.

They also fell to Tahir.

I don't see the current team folding against him.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I don't see the current team folding against him.

The team that folded against likes of North had Inzimam and Yousaf.

These batsmen are better than likes of those?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rare control being shown by Tahir.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Switching to the India-Eng game.

This is a bore for now.Please quote me when Maxwell comes.

 

[Arsal_AK]

The team that folded against likes of North had Inzimam and Yousaf.

These batsmen are better than likes of those?

No, they aren't and going by that logic many teams have folded against such bowlers.India vs Moen Ali for example.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

145-2 in 30 overs.

Double that score.. Aus should be looking for 290-300 runs in this innings.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Australia take the batting power play.

 

[dhump]

Watching Australia bat so positively take away all my hopes I have for Pakistan in WC.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies should be aiming for 280-300 range interms of a total, still loads of batting to come.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Hack scores a hundred.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Get out Bailey.I wanna see Maxwell vs Styen.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Maxwell in.

 

[jattafridi]

maxi will destroy SA bowling

 

[Mr Consistent]

maxwell

 

[jattafridi]

Why Warner is not playing ?

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Fastandfurious]

Ryan Mclaren is so doo doo.

 

[Adil_94]

The team that folded against likes of North had Inzimam and Yousaf.

Lol what a lie North got a 6fer against us in 2010 we didnt have Inzi Moyo or YK. It was the legends like Malik Butt Farhat Umar Amin Kami who he owned.

 

[delpiero10]

Australia finish on 327/7

A nice 23 from 8 balls from Mitch to round off the innings.

 

[Mr Consistent]

by dekock

 

[Fastandfurious]

De kock you beauty!

 

[Fastandfurious]

Big wicket for Australia.

 

[Convict]

So I go off to uni and I come back and Finch has scored a ton.

I'm not a fan of his but it's good to see and hopefully he actually does because a class player.

I guess his Yorkshire stint has helped him

 

[Justcrazy]

AB looking in good touch here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is over seven here.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB ....... what a shot.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB 40 from 33 balls .

 

[Justcrazy]

87 runs partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

50 for Faf

 

[Justcrazy]

142/2

23 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA need to attack maxwell here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate just below seven

 

[Justcrazy]

This game has potential to be a thriller.

 

[Justcrazy]

171 required of 24 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

If these two bat another 5 - 8 overs africa should win

 

[Fastandfurious]

So I go off to uni and I come back and Finch has scored a ton.

I'm not a fan of his but it's good to see and hopefully he actually does because a class player.

Doesn't have the technique(for now at least) but his hand-eye coordination is superb.

 

[Mr Consistent]

jhonson is on

 

[Fastandfurious]

What a partnership from Ab and Faf, this is how you bat in a chase Misbah!

 

[Mr Consistent]

four by Faf moves to 82

 

[DrSchultz]

Johnson getting smacked by Faf.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Big one by Faf

 

[Mr Consistent]

200 up for SA

 

[mithun_minhas]

I still think Aus will win this.

If SA lose AB in the next 5 overs, I expect SA to collapse a bit and if it comes to close finishes, I trust Aus to pull it through.

 

[delpiero10]

From cricinfo

PeterA: "Is that a record number of Mitchells playing in a game?"

Malav: "@PeterA: Not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure that's the first time that 3 consecutive overs have been bowled by three different 'Mitchells'

 

[Jabo]

SA should pull it off, don't forget that they passed on the choking to Pakistan last year

 

[dhump]

Pakistan should see this... This is how it is done, I wish we had one batsman like ABD in Pakistan.

 

[Fastandfurious]

It's not about one batsman, it's about partnerships. Faf and Ab playing superb with beautiful strike rotation.

 

[delpiero10]

Pakistan should see this... This is how it is done, I wish we had one batsman like ABD in Pakistan.

Never mind ABD, even South Africa's 5th best batsman is better than anyone we have!

 

[Mr Consistent]

classy stroke by ABD

 

[dhump]

It's not about one batsman, it's about partnerships. Faf and Ab playing superb with beautiful strike rotation.

Never mind ABD, even South Africa's 5th best batsman is better than anyone we have!

ABD is captain of the side and his positive mindset effects the whole setup brilliantly. Also its a good example when we say that certain players cant perform or play freely due to captaincy pressure.

It is all about quality of a player.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Jhonson wth

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a luck for Ab 2 chances in two balls

 

[Fastandfurious]

Johnson needs Clarke to be effective.

 

[cricfan967]

Jhonson wth

Absolute sitter wow

 

[Mr Consistent]

Absolute sitter wow

yepp looking very easy for Sa now

 

[Fastandfurious]

what a luck for Ab 2 chances in two balls

Second one wasn't really a chance but when you play positive you're bound to get lucky.

 

[Fastandfurious]

what a luck for Ab 2 chances in two balls

Second one wasn't really a chance but when you play positive you're bound to get lucky.

 

[Mr Consistent]

batting pp on important for both teams

 

[cricfan967]

Second one wasn't really a chance but when you play positive you're bound to get lucky.

Aussies had edges flying everywhere when they were batting as well

 

[cricfan967]

Bailey drops a sitter now.. what is going on

 

[Mr Consistent]

Lol another one Now bailey )

 

[Fastandfurious]

Lol at Kane's reaction.)

 

[Fastandfurious]

 

[Fastandfurious]

This is really super stuff from these two, what a chase.

 

[Mr Consistent]

excellent stroke in the end by ABD

 

[cricfan967]

De Villiers trying his very best to get out, Aussies don't want it

 

[Mr Consistent]

94 from 84 looking easy now

 

[Mr Consistent]

Super shot by ab

 

[Fastandfurious]

Ab!!!!!@@!@!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Johnson needs Clarke to be effective.

Only in tests I'd say. He was always brilliant in ODI's. With or without Pup. Today is a one off.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Super from Faf.
