Tour opener match, Pak vs SA

CORRECTION: The match is not vs SA, but Oppenheimer XI

Our batting lineup shows cracks against better teams. Against Zimbabwe Saleem Elahi, Faisal Iqbal, Taufeeq Umer, Younis Khan showed some batting, but on faster wickets, against better teams they are unable to show their “talent”, why?

Welcome back Abdur Razzaq, a good all rounder was missing from our team. Mohammad Sami has shown some batting talent, I think he should be promoted above Rashid Latif and perhaps above Shahid Afridi too.

Good to see Razaq back with a good form. :k:

M Sami seems to pretty effective on SA pitches. As I said when a lot of ppl complained our bowling sucked in ZIM, here you go guys. :)

Re: Tour opener match, Pak vs SA (Oppenheimer XI)

Man this is first match yaar, let them settle down These pitchs are always tricker to bat on and t takes time to settle down. Good scores in Zimbabwe didntt mean they will start scoring right away in south africa.
plus Faisal played decently for his 31. And your comment about mohammad Sami was very hilariuos :hehe:

What the heck is Rashid Latif doing?

Nicky Oppenheimer XI require another 43 runs with 1 wicket and 46 balls remaining

and he still has Afridi on one end....freak...he should have Sami or Razaq on the other end with M. Zahid.

*Match Drawn *

All because of Rashid Latif, seems like after the injury he lost some brains too.

jeera bhai, you might have missed all the Pak-Zim threads. Wahaan yeh qquestion baar baar utha thaa....

anyways his speed is decreased a lot. He bowls around Waqars pace now! around 84-85mph!

Saby bhai Afridi was on one end and M. Zahid was on the other end if he did not wanted Sami to replace with Afridi due to bad light he could have replaced Afridi with Razaq and it was the last wicket. What a pathetic brain he has zang lag gia hai uske brain ko.

:hehe:
maybe, a game after a lonmg game off can do This to you :hehe:

I would broadcast if dishnetwork shows the matches but I think Ehsan bhi will be able to do it for us too and I even offer to provide a TV tunner card to make it more easy.
