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

[Contra]

After D/L adjustment, surely SA will get a bigger total to chase in 47 overs. Pakistan has a good chance on match. Need to get close to 250

That's only if they have wickets in hand though no? Never understood why teams try to score big when the score will be adjusted, D/L doesn't take into consideration the quality of wickets, so if Pak were still 6 down after 47 overs and hadn't scored too much the score would have been adjusted in their favour quite a bit.

Don't think ending wickets count when you are allowed to continue with reduced number of overs. They would count when you have to stop the innings in between. Only wickets that fell before the game was interrupted will have an effect.

what a promising start and what a **** end

Yea Pak's top-order finally did their job, only for the lower order to drop the ball..

I see, well at this rate they won't even bat out their overs. Sad finish to a promising start. SA should chase this down easy unless rain plays more of a part after this.

in the 10 min innings break pak will be praying that the match is rained out and they can get away with 1 point

Eden park is a ridiculous ground for cricket. Bowlers have no chance. Misfits out of the ground. 400 par score, etc.

You have to feel bad for Misbah, he is facing the same challenge that Chanderpaul was facing towards the end of his ODI career. Today was one of the few occasions where Pakistan got a good start. Misbah started off pretty well but again, some brainless slogging from the other guys meant he had to slow down. He didn't knew if he should hit out or if should wait for a couple of more overs. I think Pakistan will realise his importance after this WC. Without him, this batting line up will find it even more difficult.

and Ireland doing well in the other match. Suck it pakistan. Ireland deserve the QFs

If the South Africans had a tagline:


"Taking catches that Pakistan can only dream of since 1992"

Why is the captain bowling? There's gotta be better options for SA.

AB has no business bowling.

when SA have so many bowling options why does abdv want to bowl himself?

Does SA have an incentive to lose the match?

you'd think ****s would stop questioning AB
