I remember JP spoiling the party more than once for pakistan

 

[Fuller Pilch]

How did the worst chasers in ODI cricket (hyperbole I know) once produce the greatest chase in history?

I reckon they need big head Biff - that man could lead a runchase

 

[Zinzan]

Ooooh...you have to cringe when a 7 footer slips over like that.

 

[smash84]

lol Irfan, build pressure now you ****s

 

[smash84]

woah...now this is the AB we know

 

[jan]

ABDV to go berserk and save the day. Please?
You'll get cookies, I promise.
Sigh...

 

[Zinzan]

I think the lesson for SA here (like for Pakistan in the game against WI) is to win the toss and always bat first. No point putting pressure on self

I agree, but I think that's one of the reasons they did it today.

 

[Zinzan]

Just that little bit of extra swing seems to make Eden Park just that much tougher to score on.

Hope Pakistan go for the kill. they have to

Such a good ground for aggressive cricket with bat and ball

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Got to field well now

 

[Zinzan]

Need to hit the timber when it's AB...might not be the last run-out chance AB gives today.

 

[harsh.ag]

AB looking grim here. Not used to seeing him like this. Doesn't inspire much confidence.

But really good bowling from Pakistan. Digging it into AB here. Such gifted talent....

They aren't the worst.

I remember in the 1999 world cup SA were chasing Pakistan's 213 and were at one point 58/5 in 15 overs or so. They eventually won despite pakistan having shoaib, wasim and saqlain bowling so awesome.

 

[Jimbo the giant]

Pakistan has 5 legit bowlers so these 2 are going to have to bat well to win this.

 

[eroticfishcake]

South Africa should always bat first from now on

 

[Zinzan]

Such a good ground for aggressive cricket with bat and ball

Pakistan have fond memories here too

 

[Shri]

Such a good ground for aggressive cricket with bat and ball

Has it changed a lot after the 2009 ODI series against India?

 

[harsh.ag]

Relax AB. There is plenty of time. Breathe. God you can see the panic in his eyes.

Misbah will have problems that he has to bowl out 10 overs from afridi and sohail khan
