That is just one example, how would you explain India's victory over NSW and England's defeat at the hand of the same team???
For a start it was a 4 day game, which makes a big difference. Also, take a peek at the NSW line-up - seems a tad weaker than the one we've just taken on:

Mail
Hayne
Richards
Bevan
S Lee
Clarke
Haddin
Robertson
Lee
Macgill
Nash

I think it clearly says Pakistan VS South Africa :(! :(!

Need to bash it up ? I'll help everyone and open another thread for that purpose only. Please DONOT litter each and every thread with this crap My team is better then yours. Come one now will ya !??? Just roll back a page and a half. Out of the 2/3 pages half of it is totally unrelated to the topic and thoroughly unreadable banter.

You donot need to SHOW that India is better. We can see for ourselves very well !!!! Thankyou very much !!!!! :(!:(!


I hope everyone understands my being upset about this ??? :(!:(!:(!:(!

And on the subject of SA v Pak

Pak well in control at the moment, SA still trying to recover from those 3 quick wickets...

SA: 92/3 (24 Overs: 3.8 an over)


News Just In

S.Aktar who is out of the team today... will play no part in the Test series due to an Keen injury...he will return home to try and re-cover before the World Cup

Not the first time that Pakistan have been in control of the match only to give it back to SA. Dont worry we have to bat yet ;)

Yes South Africa struggling a bit and not scoring particularly quickly. Still if Dippenaar and Rhodes can see them through another 10-15 overs at this rate they can easily make 220-230 and set up an exciting match.

Latest score, 106-3 (26 overs) - 4.06 RPO.
Dippenaar 45 (67)
Rhodes 27 (41)

Afridi's first over has gone for 12 - maybe a sign of intent?

yeah things are starting to speed up now, 4's are being hit and unblieveable singles are being run by Rhodes.... he just hit the ball to the bowler and got a single :O (ok the bolwer dived to his left and got his hand to it, ball rolled 4 meters away and still got through)

Current Match Situation

SA: 133/3 (32 Overs : RRP 4.2)

Dipanaar 52 (77)
Rhodes 43 (63)

Razzaq - Just finished his 10th over 10 - 1 - 32 - 0

Yeah Rhodes is a devil at that heh. The middle overs are crucial for Pakistan. Thats where Rhodes takes the game away.

End Of Inng

SA finished on 265/8 at the end of their 50 overs, inculding a super comeo from M.Boucher hitting something like 32 from 13 balls... inculding 3 massive 6's of a S.Mustaq over.

S.M also just just missed out on a hat-trick after dismissing M.Boucher of a ball so wide he needed a catch a bus to reach it...... Then Pollock skyed on so high the :alien8: had to throw it back to Earth...where a thankful Razzaq was doing the 100 meter sprit just to reach it....then Zondeki re-created Pollock shot...where Saqlain bowled turned around ran to the inner circle where the ball dropped a few feet in-front of him....

A good comback from SA who after 25 overs still weren't even over 100 runs....

Should be intresting to see how Pakistan chase this...with the ball going soft and the effect of the lights have...and SA have a problem of dew later in the evening.... Pakistan will need to get some runs on the board early, which could see Afridi promoted up the order again....

Priceless Rich :lol: you should be commentating out there ;)

How did Pakistan manage that is beyond me. To let South Africa get to 26 :rolleyes: If I were confronted with such resilient opponents, I swear my blood would have been boiling !

OH Dear!!!!!

Pakistan lose 2 wickets in the first 2 overs....

Pakistan: 3/2 2.2 Overs

Elahi - 0 (1)

Iqbal - 0 (5)
 

Rich2001

International Captain
SA putting the pressure on now... the bowlers are getting movement and the Pakistan batsman are having trouble, 26/2 of nearly 10 overs speaks for itself.....

LOL Commentator, the pakistan batsman should gather their hiking boots and climb Table Mountin as it wuld be easier, than reaching this total at this rate....
 

Rich2001

International Captain
And another one bits the dust.....

Akmal - B Zondeki C Kirsten

Done for pace and top edged an atempted hook to mid-off

Latest Score 49/3 : 14 Overs : RRP 3.5
 

Rich2001

International Captain
Well what can I say...Top Effort from the Pakistan batsman... I leave to eat dinner at something like 64/3 and come back to 130/4.... with two set batsman, who are just picking singles off and even going for a few big hits...

It's going to be close (or should be anyway)

Since you got Sky Rich, have you actually left the house? ;)

98 needed off 88 balls - smart money is on Pak from here...

Mind you 5 overs left for Pollock, but Shahid and Abdur still to bat...

Oh but contrvisal decision, as M.Boucher leaned over the stumps to take the ball, and his jummper knocked the bail off just as M.Boucher took the ball in his gloves...

Now Afridi just broke his bat trying to hit a yorker....
