Hafeez gone. Thats a huge blow. Now if rain comes in Pak can be in trouble. Damn shame.
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
Morkel comes back in… Hafeez gone… caught at deep fine leg… wise thinking by AB…
Hafeez shouldnt have played this shot…

Rabada to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short and wide. That’s rubbish from rabada this time. Malik cuts up and over point. Excellent execution

Sai: “Once again Hafeez gets a start, consumes a lot of deliveries and then gets out. Being an experienced campaigner he should pace his innings better.”
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
Dez: “Local forecast has eased - reckon we’ll get the full game in here after all - they can have a delay of 75 mins and still play the full overs.”
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
Javed: “Shoaib Malik needs to bat higher up the order. Clearly understands and reads the game better than Hafeez.”

Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
True:
Ali Imtinan: “The reason why India has become a far more professional side than Pakistan is because they no longer look to accomodate players. They would drop Dhoni the instance he stops performing, however, Pakistan sticks with a burden of a player rather than letting the ideal No.4, the captain himself bat at that position.”
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
followed by another by Babar

26.1
Rabada to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, good length outside off, dabbed to third man for one. 143 kph.
Have to bring back Tahir soon. He’s SA’s best wicket-taking option.
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
right, but in addition I must say its better approach on ball by Malik…
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
Pak should look to win this game by 40th or max by 43rd over…that is to have better run rate
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
PAK RR 4.40
RRR: 4.39 
Re: Pakistan Vs South Africa at Edgbaston ICC Champion Trophy 7 June 2017
7.42pm And off go the players. Yikes. The DLS par is 100, they’re 19 runs ahead of that.
26.6 Rabada to Babar Azam, FOUR, runs. Overpitched from Rabada, full and straight. Babar leans into his delectable on-drive and finds the gap to mid-on’s left. Races away.
26.5 Rabada to Babar Azam, no run, a bouncer on middle and leg, too high. Just the one for the over called
Heavier
26.4 Rabada to Babar Azam, no run, nicely played. A legcutter outside off, driven languidly to mid-off.
26.3 Rabada to Babar Azam, no run, back of a length on off, shovelled to midwicket.
Free hit
26.3 Rabada to Babar Azam, 1 no ball, fullish and wide outside off, hit to extra cover. But Rabada has overstepped. He did this in the series against England too, and should be learning from that. An awful offense
Umbrellas going up.
26.2 Rabada to Babar Azam, no run, good length outside off, dabbed towards backward point who leaps on the ball to prevent one
More rain
