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

[Mr Consistent]

Maiden for Faf well played

 

[Fastandfurious]

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

Clarke uses Johnson's pace and angle to perfection.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Faf's 1st ODI ton. Congrats to him!

 

[Saurav]

100 for AB now

this is a fantastic chase

 

[Fastandfurious]

100! Super from AB.

 

[Mr Consistent]

yes for ABD also

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Clarke uses Johnson's pace and angle to perfection.

Yeah but Johnson does not have the luxury of Ryan Harris at the other end in this format. He was brilliant I'm that ODI series against us on complete roads.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Australians bowling gun barrel straight, bound to get smacked from world class batsmen.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Best batsman in the world. Whaddaplaya AB is!

 

[Mr Consistent]

Finally FaF

 

[Arsal_AK]

Starc getting an epic phainta.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Mamoon would have been calling for his head if he was a Pakistani.

 

[Mamoon]

Starc going the Junaid way as well, both looked like world beaters couple of years ago.

Why I should I call for the head of an Australian? Not my problem.

 

[Arsal_AK]

AB is just out of this world.

What a player.

 

[Mamoon]

Lets see how de Villiers goes in the World Cup, will probably bottle it as usual.

 

[Kianig89]

Excellent batting by :Ab

 

[jusarrived]

Amla getting out early was the best thing to happen for SA in this chase .

Awesome innings by AB though .

 

[Fastandfurious]

Fielding Starc!

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa require another 23 runs with 7 wickets and 36 balls remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

AB is the King

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussie missing a spinner here , they need one specialist spinner in there team

 

[Fastandfurious]

Game over.

 

[Justcrazy]

310 / 3

45 overs

 

[Hawkeye]

ABD best batsman in THE WORLD.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 plus has been chased against Australia quiet a few times

 

[Mr Consistent]

superb shot

 

[Justcrazy]

AB is the real Boss

 

[Hawkeye]

Lets see how de Villiers goes in the World Cup, will probably bottle it as usual.

AB is the best batsman in the world, whenever he scores, gets the bottler tag from you.

Hafeez is a sitting duck against all good bowling attacks, swinging ball bunny and whenever he bashes someone he gets all the praise, becomes your favorite.

That time, you suddenly forget he's one of the biggest bottler in the entire Pakistani team and don't mention it anywhere...

 

[dhump]

I just hope our players and management is watching this.

Masterful innings by ABD a true modern day great.

 

[thivaakar]

ITS RSA game from here

 

[Zaad]

what a great chase, this is how it's done Pakistan, well planned and well exacted, the pitch had nothing for the bowlers, i figured when the Australian batsman were trashing the South African bowlers, i figured this would be a close game, beside mitchel johnson nobody really troubled the S.A Batsman, loved the way A.B & FaF Played.

 

[Justcrazy]

Adnan: "Is it possible to send copy highlights of this match to Misbah & Co. " Sounds like you might go down the Panyangara route...


)

 

[Mr Consistent]

all over Top knocks by AB & Faf

 

[Mr Consistent]

ABD should be the Mom

 

[Arsal_AK]

What a chase.

AB and Faf.

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa won by 7 wickets (with 20 balls remaining)


Brilliant chase

Of course de Villiers is a phenomenal batsman, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a bottler.

When did I call Hafeez a world class batsman? He's a good LOI batsman and nothing more and yes he is a bottler too. I defend Hafeez because he gets too much stick by people who go on to praise worse players than him. Of course de Villiers and Hafeez are incomparable because de Villiers is from a different planet.

 

[Hawkeye]

Good. Hafeez needs to be called a bottler too, more often

just like Sachin and Lara then. Ponting is the only non-bottling primier batsman of this era.

Ponting's team was about 10x better.
