7th June - Group B - Pakistan v South Africa

[kykweer.proteas]

Tahir will exploit their vulnerability to spin bowling.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Great analysis slater we all know he played a cameo

 

[Burner]

3 Maidens in a row. These guys don't even pretend

 

[Contra]

Pakistan can still afford to play out Morkel for a bit without scoring. The main thing is not losing any more wickets.

 

[StephenZA]

2nd Slip?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

SA jersey looks more like australian than the australian itself

 

[StephenZA]

Morris cannot let Pakistan off the hook. Bring on Tahir next over after Morkel.

 

[StephenZA]

Watching Morkel bowl just makes me want to get the CT over with and start playing some proper Tests....

They've played it pretty well tbf. Just need to avoid a lollapse against Tahir.

 

[smalishah84]

now pak to go into their shell. be 89/2 by the 30th over and then collapse in a heap to be 150 all out

 

[91Jmay]

Need to knock the ball around far better.

 

[weldone]

Parnell/Duminy will bowl 9 more overs. Pak can target that.

 

[Scaly piscine]

At this rate Pakistan will be behind the D/L even without losing more wickets.

 

[StephenZA]

SA need a wicket here...

 

[Howe_zat]

Good to see not only Pakistan in a winning position but also a low scoring ODI every now and then.

Spice 'o life

 

[weldone]

Hafeez has the same strike rate as Younis Khan. That doesn't explain why Younis' ODI batting was so widely hated by Pak fans. You'd rather have a solid player with low strike rate than a relative hack with low strike rate,

 

[91Jmay]

This is saving a game test match batting. They aren't building a partnership they are building pressure. It's not a minefield ffs

 

[hazsa19]

Would be criminal to not even be above D/L at 20 overs.

 

[srbhkshk]

This is a bit poor from Pakistan, playing so slow allows the bowling team to be more aggressive in their approach which ensures that a collapse is always on the cards the moment you lose a wicket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I wouldn't mind this runrate if I was sure the batsmen could soak up the pressure... imo these two are going to panic and do something stupid.
