Mein nay bola tha naay jetay ga Pakistan :snooty:
Pakistan played very well, nice comeback by Men in Green, As for Saffies they were out done and out powered by a team who needed some sort of a way to comeback and find their own groove.
Saffies got their work cut out, they need to get back on the drawing table and re-address the issues, what went wrong and how they can tackle Men in green back.
As for Pakistan they need to do basic things write and then improvise, like they say; There is always room for improvement.

Loo gee… Imran Nazir, Inzi and Pak team manager have been called by Match Refree Chris Broad. Management of SA Cricket team has complained that Imran used foul language against thier fast bowler Andrew Nel. The hearing is supposed to be today . This is reported by Jang and the news are in Urdu http://www.jang.com.pk/jang/feb2007-daily/08-02-2007/update.htm#43

Akmal, Inzamam and Razzaq are due in this match. If they score decent, we will again post a big score or chase down the target. I have a feeling that Sami or Rao will replace Rana.

Foul language against Nel? This guy deserves the medal of honor by the match refree. Nel had it coming for a long time, now he has alittle bit of his own medicine and all of a sudden he is getting offended, well thats just too baaaaaaaaad.

Protesting is not the way to go, instead silent them with brilliant performance back to back, if they ban Nazir bring in Hameed and let them perform.
As for being bias, Pakistan team "management" is too polite, next time Nel open his big mouth tell the players to complain to the umpires and after the match/ during the break they should report it to the match refree. they should not only write in appraisal (after the tour) that some Saffies players were bullish, but we had a good tour.

well I guess I was not overly confident that we will be strong enough mentally if we suffer blows like these.
But you are right, the best way would be to hit back with good performances regardless..

Diplomatic way to handle things, rather. The guy has been at it for months now. Had Sreesanth opened his mouth at a time when he hit a six off Nel's bowling, he would have likely faced the same treatment back, the one we are facing now.
It's hilarious to a ridiculous degree to note the level of how low one stoops when facing at the receiving end of the same behavior.
