3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Saeed Ajmal ruined it for Pakistan in the end. The guy just cannot bat and Afridi should have known this

Akhtar should have come out to bat before him

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

I couldn't believe he took that single

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Too much slow tuk tuk playing in the first 30 overs did them in. Oh well at least they made a match of it towards the end.

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

I am so pissed off at Afridi. The guy doesn't use his ******* brain. 10+ years in international cricket and still plays like an idiot..

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

What a pathetic batsman Fawad Alam is. He should have kept the strike in last 2 overs.

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Hold ur horse

he didnt played rashly today

it was a good delivery

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

That was a stupid wild swing and Afridi is a loser!!!!

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Saeed Ajmal was not supposed to win it, it was Fawad's job to keep strike and take Pakistan through, it was 20 runs in 18 balls only. He let Ajmal take the strike and waste the balls.

And there is no reason Imran Farhat should be any where near teh team.

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

totally agree. Why would you depend on ajmal to finish it off?

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Accept it u dont respect ur heroes

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

I can't believe we couldn't score 20 off 18 balls

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

That would be a sad day in my life when I start calling Afridi my hero (with bat) that is. You have to be consistently good to be a hero. Not click in one game in a series

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Winning A WC for ur team is enough to be called a Hero

u dont want to accept thats ur business

Coz the fact is that he is a Hero

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

He should stick with Twenty20 then! Listen I don't wanna argue with you about who's a hero or not. You consider him a hero...good for you!

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

He aint listening to u and sticking to T20 only

He is the captain and will play ODI's too

even i dont want to argue

Good for u that u hate him :D

cricinfo:

That one-short in the 49th over, that's where South Africa clawed back in. If they had settled for two instead, Alam would have kept strike. Until then, everything in the end overs was going Pakistan's way.

That said, I dare say, Pakistan have only themselves to blame. That they got this close is down to some incredible late hitting from Fawad Alam and Wahab Riaz. In reality, they had no business letting it get so close. Imran Farhat and co. took too long without going anywhere, and Shahid Afridi and co. left too much for the lower order.
South Africa have dodged a bullet, but they will be concerned with this show. Barring one man - Hashim Amla. Even Morne Morkel who finished with 4 wickets, lost the plot in the end overs. And too many dropped catches in the end.
Apologies about the stat regarding this being the closest win for SA by runs. They said so on TV, but there has been a one-run victory before.
Jason: "As an American that's new to cricket, I don't have any team loyalties (although I do tend to root for England). But I must say that, after a few of the shows that Pakistan have put on despite their troubles this summer, I am finding myself cheering them on."

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

match k mujrim koun?

  • Imran Farhat - 47 off 86 balls - This was not a test match dear!
  • Fawad Alam - should have kept the strike in the last over. why take a single on the 4th ball of the last over, are u nuts?
  • Afridi the skipper/ Waqar - Granted that it was Fawad's job to see us thru but why send Ajmal ahead of Akhtar (the guy can slog a bit unlike Ajmal)?

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

Yeh Parchis hum lay doobay ga :frusty:

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

chalo ji all the fans are going to revolt now.. like Pakistan should never loose.. they played their best and lost.. let's move on to the next game.. life is too short..

Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010

yeah that's what I was thinking...but really it was the top order that is the real blame takers....

i mean openers, then YK, then Afridi,
and you can't blame razzaq...he can't do it everytime...
so now 2 more games to go...
