Sorry I must have been thinking of his 50s :o

He has 5 of the 20 spots on the list of the fastest 50s in ODI.
 
all utterly useless if its not when the team needs it

I never said it is at all useful. But like we have pointed out there might just not be 6000 all rounders to choose from in Pakistan atm....

His bowling is ok and his batting is better than average. Ps he is the only other player barring Kallis and Sanath Jayasuriya in ODI cricket to reach 5000 runs and 200 wickets so he is really also not as crap as you make him out to be ;)
 
He is not crap but he needs to get his batting going because i am not sure what happened to him, maybe he is concentrating more on his bowling now and not his batting.
 
Oh my fek, was just checking out the icc's website...check out SA's net run rate ... http://cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/series/home?series_id=1145#standings

Still think their tournament seedings and fixtures are a bit unfair to the teams that do well (each team is pre-seeded according to their performance in the last T20 WC, even if you finish top of your round 1 group your super 8 group will not change. So we have SA, India, England and possibly Australia in one Super8 group.)

Awesome if we stay true to form:p Won't be too awesome if we lose. Only the top 2 go through.

First game at 14:30 is Bangladesh against Ireland, should be a pretty hot one with both teams trying to qualify. 2nd game at 18:30 is Australia vs Sri Lanka, if the Lankans come to the party and perform well it will be curtains for Ponting and his gum (which would mean we play the Windies in our Super 8 group) :D

Yep, both England and Australia are not through yet:p.

Lol, yeah I knew that the aussies would fail against either the windies or the Sri lankans :D

Now I am hoping they fail against both!
 
Well this time hopefully we can take a high nrr thru the tournament

Yeah, one bad result will affect the next tournament, and it's the same this time. (ie, if Aus don't quailify they will be in a tough group next time around.)

Yep, both England and Australia are not through yet:p.

I can't really see a way for England not to go through. If the Dutch win, they go through with England. If Pakistan win, then Pakistan and England will go through on run rates (don't forget, the Dutch NRR is only +0.05, as long as Pakistan win by more than one run, the Dutch will slip to the bottom). No result in the Pak - Ned game would see Eng and the Netherlands go through.

And the results of this initial round do not, AFAIK, carry through to the next stage.
 
I've never seen Afridi on form. Doesn't he hold the record for fastest ODI century which was on debut? So he was only going one way after that - down.

This is true for me as well :D
 
Yup, last time rain resulted in points being the same and then being knocked off due to nrr. Didn't sa lose time zim or something?

I remember Aus lost to Zim. :)

We only lost one match, that was to India just before the semifinals. I can't remember why we were eliminated.

I remember a slow run chase of a small total that we could easily have reached.
