***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

[Prince EWS]

Naved seems to get worse with every outing. He started his ODI career really well - even got named in the shortlist for the World XI to play Australia if I recall - but he appears to be getting worse with every game. Quite prone to getting absolutely belted these days.

Wow! What an over!

how come inzi is not using razzaq. at times he has slowed the score and got crucial wickets. my god rana is bowling rabbish. i just notice that since waqar was dismised from his job as bowling coach, the pakistani fast bowling has decline big time. we can see it here in this match.

438 in danger???

Graeme Smith has hit 33.33% of the deliveries he's faced to the boundary. Quite impressive when you've faced 45 balls.

If this keeps up, I'd expect somewhere near 400. Another road then....

Good wicket. Great innings by Smith.

 

[jot1]

That's out! No doubt about it.

 

[haroon510]

there u go at least kamran akmal did something in this game. that would grantee his presence in team for five other matches lol

Excellent batting by saffies skipper, they couldn't have asked for a better start, but a disappointment now losing 2 wickets in quick sucession.

 

[Prince EWS]

Lol @ Bosman. Such a dire player in general really (outside of Twenty20, perhaps).

 

[haroon510]

should bowle with malik in the other side or afridi enough of sami and rana for this match

 

[jot1]

Slowed down now. Giving us a chance to get our breath back.

 

[Xuhaib]

Akmal accepting chances

 

[jot1]

Grrrr AB. Well played, though.

 

[Xuhaib]

Pakistan leaking runs like a tap.

c.a.r.n.a.g.e.

Took them a long time to give Razzaq the ball, doubt he'll get a second go.

Dear God, Jaques is going nuts!

CricInfo, quality.

45.5 Abdul Razzaq to Kallis, SIX, holy crap, he's being taken apart here! This one's back of a length on middle and leg, and its sent ome six or seven rows back behind backward square leg!

46.1 Mohammad Asif to Boucher, FOUR, jeez! This one's a high full toss going down leg, and he hammers this away throuh short fine leg for four more

46.3 Mohammad Asif to Boucher, SIX, oh Lord! This is a thumping of the highest order! Asif serves up a high full toss which Boucher clouts high over wide long-on some ten rows back! Wow!

46.6 Mohammad Asif to Boucher, SIX, OH HO HO! Hammered! Another full delivery is simply heaved away with sheer disdain over wide long-on for six more!

Loving having the match on TV here though, quite the spectacle.
