7th June - Group B - Pakistan v South Africa

[Black_Warrior]

They've all gone to East Lahore

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Think Pakistan will pull off a victory today

 

[Black_Warrior]

Stop it AZH.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Apparently Sarfraz is so cool that he names the final XI a day before match and does not care about the conditions etc

 

[Black_Warrior]

He named a 12 member squad, not playing XI

Azhar
Fakhar
Babar
Hafeez
Malik
Sarfraz
Shadab
Imad
Fahim
Hasan
Amir
Junaid

Solid decisions by Sarfraz. Shehzad and Wahab were weak links.

Hopefully he drops Imad from that 12.

 

[Shri]

This is going to be a mauling to remember.

I think I'd rather play Shehzad then Hafeez, especially if the latter is not going to bowl. I'd probably also play Fahim over Shadab IF Hafeez is to play and bowl.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Shadab is the best fielder in the side, went for 51 runs, had a catch dropped, and got the breakthrough. Best bowler in the match after Amir from Pakistan's perspective. Drop Imad for Fahim.

 

[MW1304]

Imad looked the real deal last summer, how come he's not considered good enough these days?

 

[Daemon]

So dire when you tune in and watch the first over of a game with anticipation and the ball doesn't ****ing swing.

 

[tobe_ornot2]

Very good seam bowling here. I'm impressed now all that's needed is solid fielding to hang onto the eventual catches.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Amir bowling with the wind still Junaid bowling better than him and getting the ball to move fractionally

 

[91Jmay]

Junaid is a good bowler, gives them a very solid new nut pairing.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Such a delight to listen to Nasser Hussain.

 

[tobe_ornot2]

I can always tell when pak are up for it when their fielders are buzzing and today it's like a hive of bees. Should be an interesting match if this carries on.

 

[vcs]

I really like this South Africa kit.

Amla looking good.

 

[StephenZA]

Lazy shot by Amla there....

 

[tobe_ornot2]

Wicket!

But in still against a spinner so early when you have hasan Ali at hand and the seamers were doing so well. And there's no catcher around.

Nah Imad's a gamer. Bat, ball and field he contributes.
