Group E (Super 8) - Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, England

[GGG]

This is better.

 

[Jono]

UMAR!

Go son.

 

[mohammad16]

lmao pak showing their customary flare, if pak get through the semis on this momentum, watch out the rest of the teams.

 

[Jarquis]

Both Umar and Afridi gone (N)

 

[Scaly piscine]

These late runs or lack of will be crucial, you seriously don't fancy SA to ever get off to much of a start with Smith/Kallis/Gibbs up top.

Anything substantial and the middle order generally has to perform a miracle.

Akmal's batting style reminds me of a young Tendulkar. Pure poetry, I hope he turns out into a great Batsman.

I dont know where u got that idea, he is NOTHING like Tendulkar, his older brother probably plays more pure cricketing shots than Umar.

In anycase, on this ground 135 would have been enough, against 4 Pakistani spinners on such a huge ground, south africa will have to bat out of their skin to challenge this total because theyr extremely hard to get away even on small grounds.

 

[NasserFan207]

Umar Akmal and Mohammed Aamer are the reasons I watch Pakistan play.

Me too. Reek of Talent, the kids.

 

[GraemeSmith]

I get the feeling that this is going to be an epic choke by SA

 

[Scaly piscine]

So as asked before... do South Africa not have any other batsmen. Gibbs is horrible.

 

[GraemeSmith]

SA throwing the game away exactly like the indians did yesterday. Slow negative batting in T20 is baffling.

 

[NasserFan207]

They should've promoted Duminy to counteract the spinners.

 

[King Pietersen]

They just can't seem to score quickly enough against spin. It's either block, or slog. None of the batsmen seem to be in good enough form to have go-to shots to provide a boundary. Kallis and De Villiers are batting painfully slowly.

Oh, and there we go. Block or slog. Kallis tries to slog and smacks it straight to Umar Akmal. Excellent catch from him, appears to be one of the few Pakistani fielders that can catch.

 

[Faisal1985]

That's it, Kallis is gone, that should seal the deal for Pak.

Now its in the hands of the English who they want to go to semis.....

 

[GGG]

SA so good on paper.

 

[AaronK]

Lucky for pakistan.. Kallis was playing test match today hah

 

[GraemeSmith]

^^ Clarke-like innings by both Kallis and DeVilliers.

 

[GraemeSmith]

There might be some hope afterall

 

[AaronK]

Ab Gone here..
