Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 4th ODI @ Cape Town - Feb 11
2 out of 3 isnt so bad. between pakistan winning in south africa with one match to go versus india losing at home in the final match of a series and australia losing 2-0 in a final at home i know where my priorities lie
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 4th ODI @ Cape Town - Feb 11
Pakistan's cricket team is impossible to understand. One day they score 350 and 4 days later against the same bowling attack (admittedly on a different pitch) they get bowled out for a pathetic 107. I know we are very unpredictable as a team but no international side should really be getting bowled out for 100 odd even from such a bad position as 87-4 in this game. That's just blo*dy unprofessional. And I am not sure even the players themselves know why they have a habit of batting so spinelessly as a team every now and then. That's the main worry. Winning and losing are part of the game but shameless and spineless displays like the one today are just so hard to digest.

Asif getting creamed by de villiars. Seems like he isnt putting any effort into his bowling. Rightly so I would say...with the World Cup just days away now..and him having so much workload in this series...he needs to make sure he's 100% fit for the WC.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 4th ODI @ Cape Town - Feb 11
asif wants to protect himself from injuries before WC so he is bowling bad....
bad bowling means bowler shud be replaced means asif wont bowl 10 overs and injure himself....

12.3 Rehman to de Villiers, 3 runs, short of length delivery on the stumps, de Villiers goes on the backfoot and looks to pull it away, top edges it to deep mid wicket, Asif gets under it and he is DROPPED, and lo they have come back for the third, sloppy cricket and this just about sums it up for Pakistan, it has been a bad day in the office
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 4th ODI @ Cape Town - Feb 11
Pakistan had decided to lose the game the time Brother Nazir got the golden duck and mind you our middle order only delivers when top order tells them to .. If they are out playing cheap, our middle order finds the wicket unplayable.... sigh
