29th Match - Pakistan v South Africa (7th March 2015)

[Zinzan]

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

He looked a little flustered with that run-out chance, but I think you're making a little too much of it.

good stat on cricinfo

9 Number of times South Africa have been 5 down for less than 80 in ODIs v Pakistan. They've won four of the previous eight

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.

One man stole the show and took the game away from Pakistan. Proteas would love to have such a player at this stage.

Surely over now despite AB

[Maximas]

oh wow, Pakistan looming as a dangerous side this WC and SA looming as a faltering one

 

[Zinzan]

Haha I liked Misbah's double-pump celebration whilst running.

 

[duffer]

Ugh, trust the Saffies to do this.

 

[Zinzan]

Oh man

You wanting SA to get up?

 

[ankitj]

AB has to start hitting out. The tail is too weak today. Won't stand up to Pakistan bowlers till the end.

 

[Antihippy]

Pakistan, australia and new zealand shows that you really need your left armers.

 

[harsh.ag]

AB looks like he is ageing an year with every wicket that falls.

 

[morgieb]

What makes South Africa so **** at chasing?

 

[anil1405]

This is so annoying. What do Proteas need to do to avoid chokes like these under pressure? Should the batsmen set small targets like having a 10 or 20 runs partnership as a first task?

 

[Antihippy]

Wait, why is steyn batting above abbott?

 

[Zinzan]

So good to watch this guy.
