Pakistan vs South Africa: 1st ODI

where did I make the excuse, go read my statements, did I make any excuse. I said it was a good decision of batting second.

Deciding to bat second may have been a tough decision by Waqar but a smart one. Our batsman need to get practice batting second before the WC,** so batting second shouldn't be an excuse.**

This was an excuse to justify stupid decision of Batting 2nd by Waqar.First start winning with batting first and then experiement with batting 2nd.

WOW!
Here is what Cricinfo had to say.

***Pakistan won the toss and had no hesitation in sending the hosts in to bat on a pitch that was always going to give early assistance to the bowlers.

The decision to field was soon ratified with South Africa quickly losing the wickets of Herschelle Gibbs without scoring, Neil McKenzie for 11, Nicky Boje for 20 and Jacques Kallis for six leaving the home team on 86 for four in the 21st over.

Decision of batting second was justified and any captain would have made the same decision regardless of having a bad lineup.

what a lame excuse.fact is Waqar is a lousy captain and a liability to team.If Pakistan plays him in world cup,opposite team will have 12 players. :)

And with Agarkar and Nehra bowling for India, opposing team will have 18 players

Waqar Younis, 10 overs 60 runs
Mohammad Sami 10 overs 71 runs
Abdul Razzaq 10 over 76 runs

This is exactly why you need to have a 6th bowler in a one day match! But if you only have 5 bowlers, then have to bowl their 10 overs…no matter how expensive they are…eg, Razzaq, Sami! Shoaib Akhtar needs to be in for Mohammad Sami, Faisal Iqbal needs to be in place of Taufeeq Umer, and Shahid Afridi in for Saleem Elahi. We will have to open with Faisal Iqbal and Shahid Afridi because after looking at yesterday’s match…we definetly need a good 6th bowling option! I also want Kamran Akmal to play instead of Rashid Latif, because that way, Kamran can open with Faisal but with the World Cup so near…I doubt PCB will do that…they will stick with Rashid Latif :frowning: :bummer:

There we go!

I told you Pakistan will get slaughtered by SA, we are only capable of beating the weak sides, you lot were so full ot it! Where are your superstars now?

Where was sami's wicket blitz?

Where?

We suck. Accept it.

I am sad we lost, but in a way happy-it proves my point.

This will be like a 4-1 SA victory and a 2-0 test drubbing of Pakistan.

Pakistan remember good ol' days.

Oh why couldnt they plan Zimbo all the time?

They looked so world class, shame they were AGAIN exposed by a better side. Without Shoaib we just get drubbed, and our batting chasing is the worst in the world bar Bangladesh.

*Lets all together hope for da best * :)

Hope da players and da team management will learn from their mistakes :)

Your Reason for batting 2nd was : PAKISTAN NEEDED PRACTIVE FOR BATTING 2ND.

That is what I was making fun of…Because that was stupid logic .
Now when you are caught on wrong foot you are refering to Cricinfo and reason there doesnt substantiate your logic …

Yes Waqar’s decision was good but your logic in his favour was not justified .Problem with you is that you can go to any length to justify someone whome you like .
:hehe:

chill out guys..

but yeah they did disappont us :teary1:

but still 4 more matches to go lets just pray kay we will do best in next games…

den v have to play with australiaa too :frowning:

commonnn paki teammmm make usss proud once again.. :frowning:

anwayy still v da best :smooth:

great bowling figures by Pollock...

It'll get better.........your only fooling yourselves!

Pakistan to avenge this game by winning one game of the series. Where I believe they will dismiss South Africa for 150 or so runs.

But poor show by Pakistan. Anywayz... congrats to Waqar.
Another note, our bowling never needed 6 bowlers in 1999, why the sudden need of 6 now?

Get ready to see this result sheet:

ODI's 4-1, them!

Tests: 2-0, them. 1 by a huge margin.

We just dont have the players any more-we truly are a crud side. The batting always bites, and the fielding sucks, and now the bowling is distinctly average.

c'mon guys, i know the result was hurting but dont forget how Pakistan readjusted and beat Aussies after getting whacked in the first ODI.

So stick around and save your negative comments till first few ODI's are over.

I vpoiced these opinions after the 2nd ODI V Zimbo-all these lot were so happy, we so good........I know better. :)

we got ur point man! You don’t need to keep saying it again and agin! :smack:
