The problem with looking at stats is that you don't know what was happening for what reason. Coming in at the death, bowling at batsmen who desperately slog away to try to snatch an unlikely win might devestate figures, but don't really mean a thing. It is the situation Tsotsobe (and Phangiso for that matter) is in, RIGHT NOW :) .

Throughout his career Lopsy had predominantly bowled up front, with a few overs at the back end of the innings. Rarely has he bowled in the last few overs anyway.

I really think players like him get underrated in ODI's. He's not that quick, and doesn't do an incredible amount with the ball, but he's tall, accurate and hard to get away. And yet, you get people arguing that he's been the weak link in the attack for years. He's not to dissimilar to Clint McKay in that way.

Since he stopped going for pace around 2009, I've always compared him to Bracken. He has 3 types of slower balls.

Is this the worst Pak batting line-up ever? We are carrying passengers in the form of Kakmal, Hafeez, Fart, Malik, Amin (why the **** is he playing when he did **** in England the last time we toured)!!! That's 5 ****ing useless idiots. Feel sorry for Misbah, Jamshed and the bowlers.

Yes they choked in an important match after bossing them in a warm up match. Should have easily won.
