Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Good selection by Pakistan but I have reservations regarding Sohail Tanvir and Wahab Riaz.
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Sohail Tanvir is a bit like Rana Uncle. takes wickets but can be mighty expensive as well. The only positive is both Sohail and Wahab can bat a bit
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
6/1
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Why Junaid is not in team 
Such a stupid exclusion of him, remain is OK
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
The negative is both of them can be more expensive to any one :hinna:
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Misbah-ul-Haq, aged 39 years and 155 days, has become Pakistan's oldest ODI Captain, beating Imran Khan 39 years and 121 days. Also the Oldest Pakistani Captain in All 3 formats!

Bring Professor

Saeed Ajmal to Smith, no run, There’s an appeal for a caught behind and he’s been given not out and Misbah wants it **reviewed **, tossed up outside off and Smith was forward, the ball turned and soon after it passed the bat Akmal was supremely confident and immediately asked his captain to review it, it was mighty close but not enough evidence to overturn the decision

Saeed Ajmal to Smith, OUT
**GC Smith st †Umar Akmal b Saeed Ajmal 20 (25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80.00 **

Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Nice stuff by Akmal

Saeed Ajmal to Smith, OUT, so much for the fuss over the caught behind appeal a few balls back! Smith was lunging forward to drive, Ajmal tossed it up slower from round the wicket, Smith was beaten and he failed to drag his back foot back, Akmal whipped off the bails immediately
**GC Smith st †Umar Akmal b Saeed Ajmal 20 (25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80.00 **
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Why Misbah bringing Irfan again ? Save his overs for later stage
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
Bring Hafeez
[TABLE=“class: commsTable”]
14.6
Saeed Ajmal to du Plessis, OUT, he has been given out lbw and Faf wants it **reviewed**, landed a touch wide outside off and spun back in appreciably, Faf shuffled a long way across the stumps and looked to clip it away to the on side, hit on the pads, you could see the leg stump, Hawk Eye shows that hitting the leg stump and he has to go
**F du Plessis lbw b Saeed Ajmal 12 (26b 2x4 0x6) SR: 46.15 **
Re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs South Africa 30th October at Sharjah
i must say that Misbah is acting like a big fool. again Irfan
