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

[Gnske]

Very lucky escape there

 

[Chewie]

It's so bloody hot here at the moment

 

[Dan]

i hope they do stick with sarfaraz for at least as long as they stuck with nasir jamshed

I don't think he's going to be completely discarded from ODI calculations even if he fails today, considering he's the #1 in Tests too, and the alternative in this World Cup is an Akmal.

how does this betting work? That you can bet any amount of money? and for each dollar that you bet on pakistan you get 6 dolllars in case they win?

Yeah, for every $1 you bet, you get $6 in return if Pakistan wins.

 

[Dan]

Also, did they seriously drop Haris for Younis Khan?

 

[Jono]

Yeah i don't get that.

That Test standing had gotten him zero matches prior to today. I'm not saying he'll be discarded from ODI's if he fails today, but for whatever reason, Waqar/Moin/Misbah just don't like or trust him. To keep him off the team, especially for Jamshed, has been absurd yet here we are.

Also, did they seriously drop Haris for Younis Khan?

Haris is injured.

Despite knowing full well that pakistan will lose, I am tempted.

Haris sohail is injured

The fire machines for boundaries are so annoying, they block part of my view and are actually quite hot to sit by

you must be getting hot

 

[Jono]

sensible start by Pak. This is how India batted vs Saffers

 

[CricAddict]

Rameez Raja is so so annoying. Very defensive and doesnt allow for any criticism of the Pakistan team from the other commentator.

you must be kidding?

He comes up with absolute doozies almost every match though.

 

[CricAddict]

you must be kidding?

So far in this match, he has been doing that.

 

[Zinzan]

Liking this start by the lads in lime green.

 

[CricAddict]

Yeah, good start by the Pakistan team. Hoping for a good close match today.

He's annoying as hell as commentator, but that's total *** about him not allowing criticism of Pakistan. The chap is generally their biggest critic.

 

[jonbrooks]

Good start by Pakistan. They're looking a lot more assured then when they started the tournament.

I fear Pakistan is on the rise and could well beat NZ in the quarters.

Nah, We'll be playing the Windies....Pakistan will qualify 3rd.

Truth be told, I'd rather play Pakistan rather the Windies, not that I think the Windies are much better, but on their rare day they can play at a higher level.

Dammit what a ****ing catch.
