Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013

Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
Pak 31/0 off 10.0 overs...runs are hard to come by but Jamshed is playing well today sofar...
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
Pak 48/0 off 15.0 overs...they offered 2 close runouts and a catch but the Africans said, thanks but no thanks... :D
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
The catch is finally taken by Kallis off Steyn and Jamshed is gone on 24...49/1
Hafeez is in to face Steyn... :D
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
Seam: “Jamshed has completely lost it…absolutely horrible running. One can tell that he is way too nervous right now…This will only harm his confidence even more…Needs to go back domestic and perform.” Agree :k:

Steyn to Nasir Jamshed, OUT, straight to Kallis at wide slip this time and Steyn pulls out half-a-chinsaw celebration. It was a shortish ball angled across the left-hander, amply wide outside off stump to leave it, but he goes for it with the intention of working it down to third man. But he only manages an edge which goes to the slip fielder at chest-high
**Nasir Jamshed c Kallis b Steyn 24 (46b 1x4 0x6) SR: 52.17 **

16.6
Duminy to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, lovely shot. Calmly pressed his front foot forward to meet the pitch of the ball and knowing there is not too much spin in this pitch, unfurls a square drive that has enough timing to take the ball to the boundary

17.3
Steyn to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, and the romance continues! Edged and goes low to the man at first slip and Amla makes no mistake. That full length ball just manages to nip away to claim the outside edge as Hafeez pushes at the ball. A second later Steyn is leaping high in the air, punching things only he can see. Hmm.. where have I seen that celebration before?
**Mohammad Hafeez c Amla b Steyn 5 (12m 10b 1x4 0x6) SR: 50.00 **
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
Steyn takes Hafeez again on 5... :D
56/2 off 17.3 overs...

Imran Tahir to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, slammed over midwicket and deservedly so as he begins with a long hop on middle stump. Shehzad used the crease very well as he went back and struck it dismissively
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
Pak 74/3 the halfway...
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
98/5 off 29.4 overs...poor shot by Akmal...not going well
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
are we going to make 150 :(
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
Pak 125/6 off 35 overs...wondering that Pakistan would complete their 50 overs...some poor shots but the track appears to be bowling friendly...
The wicket of Maqsood just before the PP...more trouble...
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
145/7 off 40.0 overs...
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
I think we should appreciate these two debutant on the wicket, facing top class fast bowling
Pakistani batsman should learn from them ![]()
Current partnership 25 runs, 5.1 overs, RR: 4.83 (Anwar Ali 11, Bilawal Bhatti 13)
I liked this shot
37.1
Steyn to Anwar Ali, FOUR, beats the bowler and it was timed well enough to go through to the straight boundary. Fullish length ball on the stumps met with a solid push
Re: 1st ODI: South Africa v Pakistan at Cape Town, Nov 24, 2013
God, we gave Kallis 2 wickets? How **** are we?
