@phoenixdesi

thx Asif

now that i have seen the match, few observations

1. kamran akmal back to normal..pathetic behind the wickets…not moving well plus a little late…clearly he is having problem keeping the wickets on a bouncy track

2. as good as hafiz played, most of his scoring shots (including all 4 sixes) came against 2 pathetic low quality spinners… plus I am glad he did not open today…if anything, hafiz shd never open on bouncy tracks..he shd play down…is it really that difficult to understand the logic?

3. shazad playing well..he was driving, cutting , pulling well…

4. this SA team of T20 is clearly out of depth…so we shd keep that in mind and be ready for a much better ODI SA team

5. Gul can only take wickets when batsmen are in rush and want to hit … and hence succumb to make a mistake …read T20! but he bowled well for a change…lets see what happens in ODI where players have more time to stay on the wicket

On thing also becomes clear that SA attack in the absence of Steyn, Philander and Morkel is very ordinary. The second string is ordinary and spin virtually non existent. Boycott is right when he says SA will have great difficulty holding on to no 1 position because they are not going to get bouncy and fast wickets everywhere.
