I still remember the awesome batting performance of Abdul Razzaq while batting on No. 7 against a very strong SA.
I haven’t remember that any other Pakistani batsman got this type of performance under pressure on this position in ODI’s.
Just sharing the some stats and cricinfo comments …
End of over 49 (11 runs) Pakistan 273/9 (14 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 5.57, RRR: 14.00)
Albie to bowl again. Long-on cow corner, deep midwicket. Off side open. This will be bowled full and on leg stump
49.1
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, no run, and he hits the crease, down the leg side, cramping him up, going through his legs
49.2
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, SIX, smokinnnn! Razzaq on 99! What is he up to here? Low full toss, misses the length by inches, and smacks it over midwicket, into the grass banks. They are dancing out there. Razzaq is playing a beauty
49.3
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, SIX, Razzaq! Beaut! Poor delivery. On a length, in Razzaq’s arc. He gets under it, goes over midwicket. Gets to 105. Botha is on the rope. Watches it sail over his head. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
49.4
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, no run, short and wide, Razzaq wants to finish it off, misses the cut. AB and Albie appeal big time, but I don’t see any connection there
49.5
JA Morkel to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR, Abdul. Razzaq. Sir, you have played a gem! Full ball outside off, when the leg side is heavily populated, and he crashes it through the field. Four runs! Game over. He emotes for the first time. Exults. He throws his bat, and then pumps fists. looks towards the dressing room. They are all celebrating. Shoaib picks up his bat. Hugs him. One by one all come out. Afridi. Waqar. All have one man to thank tonight
More reactions.
Vishal: “Pakistan cricket was reeling…They needed a miracle to survive…and here they have it…One of the greatest ODI innings you will ever see or read in our case…This is a kind of innings that would make a nation believe in themselves…Best of luck from across the border…”
Lee de Souza: “About time we saw Razzaq again showing us what he’s capable of! What-an-innings. I hope his top order counterparts were paying attention!”
Maryam: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. POST MY COMMENT. I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY. completely worth staying up at night for. when ab de villiers thought razzaq was out i felt my whole world shattering. BUT ABDUL RAZZAQ IS TOO AWESOME. The world needs to know of my joy.”
Joy to the world. On that note, we bid farewell to what was Abdul Razzaq’s night. The man scored 63 of the last 65 runs. He didn’t wear any costumes, he didn’t perform fancy tricks, but on Halloween Night, he left the bowlers scared, very scared. Do join us for the rest of the series. And also don’t forget to read Osman Samiuddin’s bulletin. It will be up soon. Give him some time. Razzaq didn’t give him any. And, that is that. Okay bye
