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

Bhatti & Ali have more batting skills than our other bowlers including Afridi...

omer: “WOW We found new openers”

:omg: :rotfl:

Kallis to Bilawal Bhatti, SIX, slapped away over midwicket. That has to smart!

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

Bhatti 24* from 16 balls ( two 4’s x 1 6 ) :clap:

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

After how many years we are looking this type of partnership for 8th wicket :konfused:

Current partnership 41 runs, 8.0 overs, RR: 5.12 (Anwar Ali 16, Bilawal Bhatti 24)

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

These two sending message to all our very experienced and talented batsman that don't think match is over, try to stay on the wicket and rotate the strike.

45.6

 Kallis to Anwar Ali, FOUR, and he goes one better this time. All along the ground as the cover  drive screams to the boundary. Half-volley outside off absolutely dealt  with  

45.5

 Kallis to Anwar Ali, FOUR, fullish and outside off as Anwar makes room with his front leg and drills it over extra cover to signal the **fifty** partnership  

45.4

 Kallis to Anwar Ali, FOUR, overdoes the angle this time and Anwar just picks it away off his legs  with a flourish. Brilliant strike and with fine leg inside the circle  there as only ever one result  

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

Wow...we crossed the average score(183) on this ground...188/7 off 46.0 overs...

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

Current partnership 64 runs, 11.1 overs, RR: 5.73 (Anwar Ali 35, Bilawal Bhatti 28)

Cracking stroke :clap:

46.6
Duminy to Anwar Ali, FOUR, oh, that has been pummeled down the ground. JP thought he had Anwar’s number when he saw him advancing and pushed the ball wide of off stump. But he reached out and slapped it with a lot of bottom hand

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

guys :clap: :jhanda:

205/7 :jhanda:

47.2

 Morkel to Bilawal Bhatti, SIX, this time he carts it over the man at deep square leg. He had come in a  couple of yards and despite his desperate leap the length ball on middle  from Morkel sails over his head  

47.1

 Morkel to Bilawal Bhatti, FOUR, but he gets the same treatment as the short ball is smeared over extra  cover. Powerful strike making full use of the room on offer  

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

It seems Saeed Anwar & Aamir Sohail on the crease :jhanda:

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

Bhatti well played for 39 but not a good way to get out...

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

205/8
[TABLE=“class: commsTable”]

Partnership: 74 runs, 11.4 overs, RR: 6.34 (Anwar Ali 35, Bilawal Bhatti 38)

classic batting :clap:

Morkel to Bilawal Bhatti, OUT, one innovation too many, but that is the end of an enterprising and more to the point, a much needed innings. Ah, but hold your horses, I think we have a review. It was full and straight, the batsman was moving across to the of side to lap it over the short fine leg fielder and gets struck plumb in front. The on-field umpire agrees but the batsman wanted a second opinion

**Bilawal Bhatti lbw b Morkel 39 (56m 25b 3x4 2x6) SR: 156.00 **

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

Will they be able to play complete 50 overs ?

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

They seam to have no desire for this

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

218/9 (50 overs) :jhanda: nice knock by two debutant :k:

Finally we have managed to play complete 50 overs :smiley:

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

218 is not good enough

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

Think we have enough on the board. Should win this.
