Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

that series has completely ruined the quality-quantity balance...

only quantity...no quality!

Then Dhoni will blame ICC, ODI rules, and what not.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

I shall go easy on Afridi because he was the player of the match today but once again he showed lack of patience and holed out at a crucial time with three overs remaining in the innings. Had he stayed till the end Pakistan might have still posted a decent 240+/- despite the muddle in the middle overs. Such carelessness can be the difference between victory and defeat. Apart from lack of application his shot selection could be better.

I am happy that we won today. Had we lost this game it would have been mighty difficult to get back in the series esp. given our lacklustre batting. Pakistan should have won the first ODI comfortably and SA should NOT have lost the second game. The two games prove why Pakistan (rightly) carry the unpredictable tag and why RSA deserve the chokers' tag

Despite the win, batting has major flaws and looks hopelessly inadequate at the moment. 209 was a nothing total and bowlers saved our blushes and were the main architect of this win. Jamshed is woefully out of form and UA has been a huge disappointment so far. Anyhow I think we should persist with the winning combo for the next game atleast

Ajmal was the stand out bowler for me today. He kept putting the pressure on the South Africans by not letting them score easy runs. He makes this team competitive enough to face the top sides.

He’s a troll, don’t pay attention to him. Thanks for the H/L.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

Yesterday was once again bowler’s show. Every bowler who played bowled exceptionally even though wicket was better than sharjah and SA should have won it.

I was there at the stadium. Cracking atmosphere and gorgeous stadium.


Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

Stick with the winning combo or strengthen the batting!

I know you need a 6th bowler as cover but with Ajmal, Afridi and Hafeez all bowling well, I would drop one the three seamers (Tanvir or Wahab) and play an extra batsman in the 3rd ODI (? Sohaib Maqsood)

Also the batting order is all wrong. I know UA is keeping wickets but I would like him to bat higher (2- or 3-down). Can certainly bat at 2-down if we are batting first

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

Lucky you :frowning:

I miss the atmosphere

You got Professor of Cricket.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

This is very typical of you. Posting highlights when the fixers win.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

Glad you got something to smile out; you cry most of the the time.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

This shows who is a cry baby.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

That's not true. 1st ODI was an exception.

I must admit though that I don't generally watch H/L of lost games unless there has been a special knock or good bowling performance by someone...that's just human nature!

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa

Shows nothing.

Re: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa


No No. I have also noticed this t in other series in the past involving the fixers in which they have been battered properly, you were not consistent with providing links to highlights (may be too much crying) and only do this mainly when the jokers win + fixers win.

Unless people are really dumb they know where to find the H/L. I do not invent them

If Pak win then sharing H/L on GS is part of celebration and therefore more appropriate
