*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai

[Xuhaib]

if I was allowed one murder I would choose Imran Farhat without any 2nd thoughts.

 

[Xuhaib]

Mo Akram criticizing the fielding effort he himself made Kaneria look like Jonty.

 

[Avada Kedavra]

Steyn vs Pak batting could get hilarious.

People tend to forget that Steyn in ODI isn't great(still good) like he is in tests.His extra pace may backfire on this track.

oh wait till you watch him bowl to Farhat and co.

 

[Avada Kedavra]

Farhat is crap but Younus and co should be ok against Steyn.Pak batsmen have traditionally done well against out and out quicks as opposed to line and length bowlers.

Lol..... so true....he will make this pitch look like a minefield once the pak batting is on.......

 

[Faisal1985]

nah you will eat your words some day.

thoughts on Wahab?

ofcourse not an Aamer but does seem to have something about him could be a useful backup if Aamer-Asif get back.

To me seems like a better prospect ATM then Gul for sure....also with the bat..aggressive and pacy....

 

[Faisal1985]

Don't want to sidetrack the thread too much but how the hell did Wahab escape the you know what? From what I saw he looked in deep poos.

But if he's innocent and I'm barking up the wrong tree as usual, I look forward to seeing him bowl down here. Sounds gun.

Nah, i don't think there was enough evidence against him for any thing....he is fine...

I am seriously missing Kamran Akmal in the opening slot.

 

[Faisal1985]

To me it was a bad move to drop Ajmal.

Riaz seems to have a decent yorker. Pakistani bowlers seem to be born with that ability.

Great shot by Botha.

 

[Jono]

Haha Botha did some damage. That last partnership killed Pakistan. They had fought back so well.

If you play street cricket in Pakistan it is an absolute requirement that you have a yorker in your arsenal since the matches are only 8-10 overs and the batsmen are there only to hit the ball for boundaries and sixes (which might explain why we don't have too many patient batsmen).

Yeah. He has effectively batted us out of the match

 

[Xuhaib]

Afridi captaicy is like his batting brainless why no fielder was plaed behind square on the fence when Botha kept peppering that side of the field.

Very interesting. I find the cultural influences in styles of play pretty fascinating.

Tapeball kakay....Lahore's streets, ahhh i miss those tapeball tournaments...

 

[Xuhaib]

this time Pakistan will fall well short of the target there is noway Pakistan can pose a challenge 3 times in a row chasing a target.

Oh yea! that's the ****.
