Really annoying because I bet on him to top score. Faf and Amla himself both got so close to making it a safe bet for me before being then dismissed. De Villiers could still get this easily from here.
Bit less than 10 overs to go and he has to score 50. You'll be safe.

I think.

If he batted until the end he would've top scored IMO. If he faced half the remaining deliveries he would've needed to strike at 180 odd which he would have had a good chance of doing if batted through. I had an Excel function working all that out for me ball by ball. :p

Yeah Virus has to come in for Ingram next game.
Yeah for sure.

Kamran Akmal has actually been really good behind the stumps today, so I was pretty happy for him to get a run out at the end.

I totally forgot about my bet of over 0.5 run outs happening in this match which paid $1.45. I'm not going to do much with my $4.50, but thought it was an odd market.

Pakistan's fielding has been of a quality I never knew they possessed...
Oh, you did know they possesed it. They've just never been able to use it with any form of consistency whatsoever.


On a serious note: the leg side beamer / wide that Akmal got..... I wouldn't have betted on that!

134/2 after 30. Should be doubled form here. Maybe even more.

Good decision to take the PowerPlay, I guess.
:blink::blink:

I'm just waking up in Toronto and I was checking the fall of wickets shocked to see how little they scored in the end lol..

That is the thing with Pakistan - you gotta stay focus.

Ugh, Farhat, I keep getting tricked into thinking he can bat...
The thing with Farhat is that he has a really good temperament for building an ODI innings; he reads situations really well and paces his innings excellently as an anchor. It's why he has such a good domestic OD record, and why you can fooled into thinking he could do a job for Pakistan - when he actually makes a score, he's un-Pakistani-like in his composure and ability to rotate the strike. The problem is that his technique is absolutely horrible so he gets out defending regularly at international level and often doesn't actually get his attacking shots away when he knows he needs to accelerate.

Was Morris already a contender as a bowler for SA or did he got picked based on IPL performance?
