CRICKET: SA vs Pakistan

[Boodles]

Jeeze, guys, thats all you want to do is change the bloody team all the time. SA will never find a good team if it keeps getting changed.

I think Amla is more a test player. However, he is still young..

There is nothing wrong with test team you have now..

[JK8]

Damn. So Ahktar and Umar Gul is out of the SA tour.
I hope Asif has some backstop.

[derekc]

And we're back for the 3rd test.

3 changes in SA team. Polly and Nel rested. Boeta for Gibbs.

Go SA!

[krycor]

where is boeta? I mean that guy is perfect for tests yet he was put in the ODI squad last yr? I'd drop AB to 3 or 4 between kallis and prince depending if boeta goes early. try Smith on top again :( or let hall do it with boeta :p

If the two can stay in long till the ball wears it might give the pakistani's some hard things to think about.

[JK8]

Boeta and Smith are a cute couple, they work well together!:D

[Random717]

wtf is up with the pitch? looks like half of it was soaked in water?? and the large spots all over the outfield? There were complaints after the last match at Newlands, and now they produce this.. lol

[dominic]

anyone with some knowledge and view of the game please explain why SA stuck Pakistan in after winning the toss?

...seems not to make sense.......

[JK8]

...seems not to make sense.......

Especially knowing how good Kaneira will be on the last day!!!

[derekc]

Looks like Boeta will open with Smith. De villiers to bat at 6. Amla should be 4th and Kallis third.

Pak 27/2...We're doing ok

[Random717]

157/8 and looking really good. Ntini and Kallis with 3 wickets each so far :D :D I'm just hoping the pitch becomes a bit playable when we get in..

[Boyrock]

:))))))))))))))))

[chiskop]

SA 17/2

Dippenaar 0
Amla 2

[JK8]

SA 17/2

Dippenaar 0
Amla 2

Wooo Smith got double figures, maybe he found form! lol:rolleyes:

[Random717]

hmm Smith 24 runs off 15 balls, he's really taking it to the bowlers.. we definitely gonna need an innings like Yousuf pulled for Pakistan!

[isi.catch]

who knows a good wap site for sa cricket scores..... ive been using bbc but they dont have it live

[krycor]

:( dippennar failed and amla too.. oh well as long as no more wickets fall.

[WonderBob]

who knows a good wap site for sa cricket scores..... ive been using bbc but they dont have it live

I found cricinfo.com to be quite usefull

[JK8]

who knows a good wap site for sa cricket scores..... ive been using bbc but they dont have it live

What phone u use?

[Boodles]

i've been using sky sports wap thingee for the last couple of years. 2 clicks and it gives score.

Its kinda free with virgin. lol

And you hate him for it, Paki ?

[Boodles]

Well done SA to win the series 2-1.

Thnakgoodness tests are over. Better late than never, now the lads can concentrate on the all important ODIs.....

[krycor]

yeah Hope we white wash it.

[hj2k_x]

Well done SA to win the series 2-1.

Thnakgoodness tests are over. Better late than never, now the lads can concentrate on the all important ODIs.....

Indeed, WC 2007 here we come!

[Fiekus]

Yup, this test series should never have happened but hey, our rankings should improve.

Bring on the ODIs!!

[ajax]

Can't wait for the Pro 20's match on Friday!

Gibbs was banned for 2 ODI's and one test, so will he be able to play?

[derekc]

Can't wait for the Pro 20's match on Friday!

Gibbs was banned for 2 ODI's and one test, so will he be able to play?

Nope...he's serving the ban for the 20/20 as well so he won't be playing.

[JK8]

Nope...he's serving the ban for the 20/20 as well so he won't be playing.

With so many guys exhausted and injured, whos gonna play?:rolleyes:
I dont want to go watch b grade teams play...

[The Cosmos]

Well, they can't stop now. The world cup is around the corner.

[NaZKuL]

20/20 tomorrow!!! hope it doesn't rain at wanderers...

[hj2k_x]

Just got home. SA 334-4 after 46.1 overs. We are killing them :):)

[hj2k_x]

This is getting out of hand! Another 6!

28 runs off the over!

Highest total ever conceded by Pakistan

[kiepie]

I'm watching the score on the internet, not near a TV right now. 28? Of an over.

DAMN :D

[hj2k_x]

Boucher just out but they had a partnership of 121 off 62 balls!!! crazy stuff!!

[kiepie]

Well Boucher nearly took Kallis past. In less than half the amount of balls :)

[hj2k_x]

11 runs off this over despite the wicket SA 368/5

[kiepie]

390? 400? :d

[hj2k_x]

1 over left. 20 to reach the magic 400 again :D

[kiepie]

Keep me posted.

Damn Supersport scoreboard is @ over 48.3

[hj2k_x]

49.3 . kemp out. SLoooooow ball got him...

Now a no ball single...

[hj2k_x]

wow, a no ball and a wide! crazy! Was really really wide and he overstepped as well! Crazy!!

[hj2k_x]

another slower ball...kallis waited and whack! six down the ground!

[hj2k_x]

its over 392/6. Last ball was also wide, but a dot ball :p

Awesome!

[kiepie]

Wow, amazing.

You think the Pakistani's will even come close? :p

[hj2k_x]

I don't think they have a chance, no. Our bowling has looked pretty solid so far...

[kiepie]

Well I'm so :mad: I didn't watched it.

Going home now? Nah...

[hj2k_x]

Yeah, i missed most of it as well :(

[kiepie]

Yeah, i missed most of it as well :(

Was the same with 438 match last year, only started watching around over 30 of the second innings. But it was still awesome.

[hj2k_x]

Was the same with 438 match last year, only started watching around over 30 of the second innings. But it was still awesome.

That will always be the best game ever. I am so happy that i watched every minute of it. AT my gf's house with all my mates. A day i will never forget!

Kept my proteas shirt on the next day(monday). Took my big SA flag on stick into varsity with me and carried it round all day on Campus.

Was awesome!

[kiepie]

I'm in JHB and didn't go to the game! :mad:

[feo]

I'm in PTA and didn't go!! :( But stadium started filling up after 6am, wow...was a sellout very early today.

[kiepie]

I'm in PTA and didn't go!! :( But stadium started filling up after 6am, wow...was a sellout very early today.

Yes today's one aswell, but was refering to the 438 game last year.

[feo]

That sucks...but that definitely was the greatest game ever..reading the comments after the AUS innings and after SAs on aussie forums were priceless :)

[krycor]

i think the 1st 20 ov was 146 runs and last 10 ov was 146+ runs too :eek: talk bout slaughtering the pace bowlers. Pakistan were only saved by their spin, else i am sure we'd have gotten 500. Still even tho some seem to be giving their wicket away in the pak team, if they play normal they will get close.

[Fiekus]

we need to break kallis and prince up. put in bouch or polly in between them. bouch had to play out of his skin to get us where we ended up, but it won't happen often.

this forum also seems VERY quiet these days.. as far as the cricket goes. Could it have anything to do with Smith getting runs :rolleyes:

[feo]

lol yeah, but it's better that we get aggro when Smith doesn't perform. It shows we care for SA when it comes to sport.

[Iwojima]

Yeah, now if he could learn to do it consistantly.

Run-making aside he is still arrogant and a supremely *** captain.

[hj2k_x]

Certainly took our time again in bowling them out! :eek:

[krycor]

well actually bosman should have come after kallis, or gibbs when he plays and we had an extra bowler in the side today sort of with petersen kinda. *shrug* I guess this summer the cricket team is showing how they can perform if the top order fails.. and now when the top order does its thang.

Yep, we're just lucky that we have a middle order that operates well under pressure.

[Boodles]

Run-making aside he is still arrogant and a supremely *** captain.

You've got a good young captain, and so what if he's shows a bit of arrangance.

You need that.

[air]

You've got a good young captain, and so what if he's shows a bit of arrangance.

You need that.

Hey Boodles, agree with you there, but you have to be able to back it up with consistent performances. As you said, he is still young and developing as a player.

btw. anyone know the ages of international cricket captains?

[WonderBob]

Hey Boodles, agree with you there, but you have to be able to back it up with consistent performances. As you said, he is still young and developing as a player.

btw. anyone know the ages of international cricket captains?

Ricky Ponting - 32

Michael Vaughan - 32 / Flintoff - 29

Dravid - 34

Fleming - 33

Inzamam-ul-Haq - 36 (almost 37)

Mahela Jayawardene - 29

Brian Lara - 37 (almost 38)

And then Greame Smith is 26.

[derekc]

You've got a good young captain, and so what if he's shows a bit of arrangance.

You need that.

Problem is ppl don't get that...they want tame and gentle captains. Think Smith is a decent captain. He's learning and has shown some good decision making.

Problem with him is that he tries to score runs too fast. He loses some sense when he does that. If he corrects that then he'll score consistently.

Yesterday's performance was a mauling (so was Friday's). Don't know how the last two wickets can tell how poor we are at bowling out the tail though.

[WonderBob]

I dont think yesterdays tail end batting by Pakistan means too much.

Malik is a good batsmen and Sami did very well. It was a very good pitch to bat on, and if you batted sensibly you should be able to score runs.

The ball was soft, Robin Peterson was bowling :rolleyes: and we have already won the game. If they were actually batting for runs at that stage, they would not have lasted long.

[The Cosmos]

Yesterday's match was a joke. No competition at all. It doesn't bode well for the WC.

Hoperfully the Paki's will at least improve otherwise, it will turn into the cliche that's happening downunder.

[derekc]

2nd ODI today..Gibbs is back so we've made our batting line up stronger and always good to see Gibbs field...Hope the weather is good down in Durbs.

[simple_simon]

i hope "the smith" and AB keep up this batting form for the worldcup.....jacque kallis and prince almost looked confused when they came to the crease and the immediately didn't have to think of ways to "save" the innings....they could play class cricket no pressure

[hj2k_x]

2nd ODI today..Gibbs is back so we've made our batting line up stronger and always good to see Gibbs field...Hope the weather is good down in Durbs.

thanks man . Pity i'll miss most of it due to work :(

[krycor]

w00t, I hope SA bats 1st, then i can go to gym early if it ends up like sunday's game. tho for excitement batting 2nd I always enjoy when there is a decent target.

[derekc]

think we need to get back to earth here...doesnt mean we slaughtered the Paki's on Sunday that we will again. we did that to India thinking they would be a run over in the tests and they played very well in SA. But if Pak bowl like how they did on sun then we might get 500 this time around.

Yeah, probably wont live up to the last game...500 would be awesome though :):)

[JK8]

Are the Pakis playing with the same bowling line up??
I hope they brought back Kaniera, maybe try and beat SA with only the spinners and Asif, coz Sami and Naveed are pathetic!

I miss the old Pakis with Waqar and Wasim Akram...:(

[native]

thanks man . Pity i'll miss most of it due to work :(

If you have internet connection then use Cric Info (http://www.cricinfo.com/).

You will miss that visual site of the game :D

[native]

Who are they going to drop for Gibbs?

Will it be all seam attack no spinner aka Robin Peterson?

[JK8]

Who are they going to drop for Gibbs?

Will it be all seam attack no spinner aka Robin Peterson?

My bet will be Bosman.

[Highflyer_GP]

They dropped Bosman, story is on cricinfo

http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/rsavpak/content/story/279044.html

[native]

"Loots Bosman is expected to drop out to make room for Gibbs, "

If I understand it properly he is expected to - not that it's final

[NaZKuL]

if its not broke.. why try and fix it...

[krycor]

true but prince + gibbs + de villiers combined in the field saves alot of runs.

[derekc]

Pak to bat first...let's hope they get a decent total otherwise this game will be a bore.

[hj2k_x]

Pak to bat first...let's hope they get a decent total otherwise this game will be a bore.

Yeah, that sucks. So much for the 500...:p

[derekc]

they kept Loots in the team...interesting choice.

[hj2k_x]

thats a good start :)

[Highflyer_GP]

Akmal gone

[hj2k_x]

they kept Loots in the team...interesting choice.

I like loots, good prospect. Who was the choice between?

[derekc]

Sorry I lie...It was the wrong team list they put up. Gibbs is in the team.

Apparently not a good decision by Bucknor on Kamran's dismissal. Good. :p

[hj2k_x]

says who? He didnt offer a shot- always taking a chance when u don't play a shot. I would have given it :)

[krycor]

so far looks like pakistan are gonna put up a good total :) which is just as exciting

[derekc]

How much effect do u guys think the advent of the 20/20 has changed the way an ODI is played nowadays??

4 400+ scores in a calendar year tells a bit to it or has the game just evolved on its own?

[Highflyer_GP]

Probably does have some effect, but I think that the game is constantly evolving based on the changes they make to the laws (for eg. powerplays etc.) and that's what seems to be responsible. Remember the time when 300 was the holy grail after they introduced 2 fielders outside the ring within the first 15 overs rule?

[JK8]

Not much they the same players...

Pakis are a little over 6 an over looks good...

[derekc]

Pakistan off to a very good start...this should be a good game.

[JK8]

Damn SAs good fielding already saved around 50 runs!!

[krycor]

Yup and still the runs come.. I just hope SA go about this the right way when chasing, if so this could be a very good game[lotsa runs in total game]

Current score : 205/3 33.2 inzuman came to bat a few balls ago

[JK8]

200 up, Pakis still have a bad bowling line up, they gonna have to be disciplined this time if they want to win, oh and DIVE for the damn ball!!!!!:p

[silkman]

What AMAZING batting. Yousuf and Afridi were top class

[krycor]

ROFL @ JK8, yah which bowler is it that dives on his butt and fields the boundary with is feet?

351/4, 352 to win..

hrm SA stadiums feature alot as venues for these huge scores recently.

[derekc]

should be a good game here...33/0

[hj2k_x]

just got home - what was going on with our bowling?! :eek:

[nivek]

two wrong decisions by the umpire in a row... first gibbs, now kallis..

when will they start using technology in sport :(


stubborn..

[derekc]

blackout in durban...well done Eskom. Good luck for 2010 when in the WC final the power goes out...so disappointing government is refusing to push for people to take responsibility. Eskom CEO just rakes in the millions at everyone's loss.

[efitol]

Lol @ Blackout :D

[Highflyer_GP]

Not funny mate, this is an international embarrassment.

[Brawler]

what a joke.

[nivek]

lol
what a joke

well atleast we are well on track with govenments plans for us to blend in with the rest of africa

[derekc]

interesting from cricinfo: "Keith Lane our man at the ground tells us that, Buildings around the ground seem fine, street lamps are also on but everything in the ground is down, except the generator power from the TV vans"

maybe it's just temporary...looks like we might get a revised total thru duckworth. Otherwise, we draw cos we've only faced 19.4 overs out of the 20 that's the minimum...if so, lucky SA.

[Highflyer_GP]

I don't care if we lose, I wanna see a game. Duckworth Lewis stuffs around with the match and takes away from the unpredictable nature of it.

[derekc]

maybe those dodgy bookies rigged the flood lights?

My thoughts exactly... :(

...
What's worse, SABC3 is forcing us to watch some travel program about Tokyo!!!! :@

[derekc]

looks like power is back...no update on play though...

Sigh...this country really gives ppl lots of reasons why we should leave this place and look for greener pastures.

[Raithlin]

According to commentators, this has happened before, in Australia and India...

[Highflyer_GP]

According to commentators, this has happened before, in Australia and India...
The difference is that accountability exists in India and Australia. My bet is that nobody will be held responsible for this.

[Raithlin]

The difference is that accountability exists in India and Australia. My bet is that nobody will be held responsible for this.

Umpires were seen talking to Mr Majola. We'll see.:confused:

[derekc]

well those arent the countries that will be hosting the soccer WC...no excuse for SA to be having these powercuts...hope everyone laughs at us so our gov will do something about it, like implementing accountability.

[feo]

Well as long as they get play going soon....I can't take any more of SABC3s songs!! :(

[nivek]

right its one thing having a power failure but whats this crap they playing on sabc 3 in the interim???

[bekdik]

I'm waiting for Big Ears Erwin to claim sabotage

[feo]

A cricket ball fell into a generator thats why the power went...obviously

[derekc]

no ways...don't joke feo. That's absurd. Cricket balls aren't magnetic so I dont think it could've done anything to the generator.

[feo]

yay it's starting again..

[Highflyer_GP]

Lights back, finally. Thought I heard the announcer saying that no overs have been lost

[krycor]

ugh missed almost everything since gibbs strolled out till pollock and ntini were batting.. what happen? looks like it was disaster top order again?

[rpm]

Sad collapse indeed...

[ajax]

Sad collapse indeed...

what, the Proteas or the Eskom grid? :D

[stepper]

blackout in durban...well done Eskom. Good luck for 2010 when in the WC final the power goes out...so disappointing government is refusing to push for people to take responsibility. Eskom CEO just rakes in the millions at everyone's loss.

Durban Metro Electricity supplies the whole of Ethekwini Munic, and they get thier power through Eskom at 132kV and 275kV levels so why is it Eskom's fault now when the whole of the city was fine except the stadium?

Anyway poor bowling by the proteas!

[hj2k_x]

Did they ever play again or was the game abandoned?

[stepper]

Did they ever play again or was the game abandoned?

We were thrashed by 140 odd runs!

[hj2k_x]

We were thrashed by 140 odd runs!

So our plan of sabotaging the game by cutting the power didn't work then? :( :rolleyes:

[derekc]

It's good that we lost. Got a feeling we were getting a bit complacent after the first game. Our bowling really needs to improve.

[JK8]

So SA was to confident again, and against one of the worst teams to be overconfident to.

Good game, but shows SA is not as good as they think they are when under pressure.

Smith lol, once again playing across the line and getting caught behind, is he ever gonna wake up?

Why didnt poor little Afridi get man of the match? Thats a bad call IMO.

[hj2k_x]

It's good that we lost. Got a feeling we were getting a bit complacent after the first game. Our bowling really needs to improve.

That is for sure! Yikes!

[NaZKuL]

what, the Proteas or the Eskom grid? :D

hahaha!!!!! both!!!!:D
uhmm... if the power didn't come on, the match would have been abandoned because only 19.4 overs were bowled... another two more deliveries and the old duckworth lewis system would've come into play... but no!!!! someone switched the lights back on!!!!

[JK8]

Threads so quiet.

[froggytoo]

Threads so quiet.

Cos' youré here, for sure!

[froggytoo]

Smith lol, once again playing across the line and getting caught behind, is he ever gonna wake up?

Why didnt poor little Afridi get man of the match? Thats a bad call IMO.



Smith busting? F@@l.

Afidi deserves nothing as he swings his bat to everything but b@lls!

[krycor]

Today's game a day-night game?

[froggytoo]

Today's game a day-night game?

Yeah.

Prediction: PAKI'slae!

[JK8]

Smith busting? F@@l.

Afidi deserves nothing as he swings his bat to everything but b@lls!

:rolleyes: Oooh hes your little hero I forgot, shame:rolleyes:

Hows the weather there in PE?

[JK8]

Yeah.

Prediction: PAKI'slae!

If Kallis dont sing, Pakis gonna win!:p

[froggytoo]

:rolleyes: Oooh hes your little hero I forgot, shame:rolleyes:

Hows the weather there in PE?

No! he is a Captain in the making as you would never ever see again (since Hansie's departure) .

[JK8]

No! he is a Captain in the making as you would never ever see again (since Hansie's departure) .

Huh?

[froggytoo]

Huh?

I though that would be the best brain activity you would be able to muster in such a short attention span time. :D

[krycor]

well the capetown game might be bad since its rainy yesterday and today and they apparently trying to fix the grounds pitch etc must say tho the grounds looked horrid for the last test.

[hj2k_x]

another day-nighter?

[JK8]

another day-nighter?

Yip, he who wins the toss wins the game.8

[froggytoo]

Yip, he who wins the toss wins the game.8

So they said before the Aus/SA game 438!

[froggytoo]

well the capetown game might be bad since its rainy yesterday and today and they apparently trying to fix the grounds pitch etc must say tho the grounds looked horrid for the last test.

Oh my word! Then it will be a spinners paradise and then JK8 may, just may, be right!

[derekc]

I think this should be a close game. Don't be too complacent and play sensibly. Maybe SA bowlers should bowl properly as well now.

Edit: Pak won the toss and are batting...

[derekc]

21-2. Two wickets in an over by Ntini!

[hj2k_x]

And now its raining :(

[kiepie]

They back on the field.

Toggeling between 21 and 22 :D

[krycor]

Game abandoned :( .. but duckworth lewis was gonna give the team a tough ask too..

[krycor]

:'( raining tonight in cape town, the games gonna be interesting tomorrow it they do play

[kiepie]

:'( raining tonight in cape town, the games gonna be interesting tomorrow it they do play

Come on... This time of year?

They NEED to play...

If they don't play, the 5th ODI is going to be interesting...

[krycor]

well won the toss for a change :)
me thinks pakistan won't be able to score a big score, but if they bat well in the middle order they'll get just below the par score else crumble to another low score.

[HaNsA]

you were right :D

[krycor]

yup a very low score.. now to see if we crush them or scrap thru with a tough middle order.

[Highflyer_GP]

Poor Newlands spectators will only get to see max 200-odd runs for the day :D

[feo]

I predict a 9 wicket win...:)

[hj2k_x]

Wow, we are killing them again! Wish we would bat first again some time...

[hj2k_x]

its over. Six off the last ball. 113-0. SA win by ten wickets in 14 overs...

pwned

[feo]

damn mohamed asif...if he caught that my prediction woulda been right. Oh well im not complainin hehe :) another good thrashing

[krycor]

yeah, I must say since the start of this ODI series, the opening pair have been good :) Now to just carry it thru to world cup

[Highflyer_GP]

ROFL @ Pakistan :D omg

This was a bigger thrashing than either of the 1st two games.

[feo]

10 wicket win in both the Pro 20 and this ODI...nice! I'm with krycor, they just have to take this form through to the World Cup, win it, come home and win the International Pro 20 World Cup in September..

[hj2k_x]

10 wicket win in both the Pro 20 and this ODI...nice! I'm with krycor, they just have to take this form through to the World Cup, win it, come home and win the International Pro 20 World Cup in September..

Agreed! This was about as convincing as a win can get!

[derekc]

Last ODI before the WC! Who's going?

SA ftw!

[NaZKuL]

Last ODI before the WC! Who's going?

SA ftw!

I wanna go I wanna go!!!
u forgettin the warm-up games before the WC!!! SA are playing pakistan in there final warmup game before the WC on the 9th March!!!

[krycor]

nice one, then we can see how we really do vs them on a away pitch thats not controlled by either.(tho in SA it seems the pitches are doing their own thing last 2 yrs)

JHB ppl should know that you could the weather could change in an hour... like going to watch a movie... you go in and the sun's shining, after the credits you wanna go home and its freakin pouring and thunder and lighting is aiming for ya:mad: ...
but so far, sounds good... :)

[krycor]

haha that game musta been hard to remember

[NaZKuL]

haha that game musta been hard to remember

not really... was only like 220 runs scored in the entire game, and only 10 wickets fell the whole day... the most exciting part was the last three deliveries of the game:
3rd last, Smith gets his 50,
2nd last, AB gets his 50,
last, Smith whacks a six, and SA wins...
Newlands is becoming a fortress... :rolleyes:
glad that there's two big video screens now... and that the mexican waves aren't like the ones down under...:D

Nice bowling by polly, I have a feeling his 5 for 22 will push his rankings up past murali in the all time list. Currently he's on 910 with murali's best at 913...

[GavinMannion]

Just need to get Malik now and it's all over....

[NaZKuL]

Just need to get Malik now and it's all over....

[froggytoo]

[Highflyer_GP]

LOL have a look at the pakpassion.net forum, no matter how badly Pakistan always consistently loses, they always insist that Pakistan is the best team and they'll come back strongly in the next match. Daft I tell you.

[feo]

lol checking the aussie forums after the 438 game was priceless...I guess the paks can't lose hope now H_GP..WC time and they need to get behind their no matter how **** they play....even if they do get 160+ run, 10 wicket and 9 wicket paki'slae :) from us...

[Highflyer_GP]

Yeah and the best part is that they play us again in the 2nd warm-up match :D We might just become the most hated team in Pakistan.

[feo]

lol ya you're right.

PS. my coment about the 438 game above...I didn't even notice the post number...check! It's a sign :eek:

[Vercogen]

They need a full strength team again, they cant afford to lose the test series especially knowing what a strong team Pakistan is at ODI's.



:D :D :D :D
ROFLMAO
