21st Match, Group E: Pakistan v South Africa at Gros Islet

[MUFC1987]

I have to say, the Camera men/director in this tournament have been rubbish. The number of times they've had the camera on the wrong fielder when someone has skied it has been unbelievable.

I'd like to thank SA for giving us the match! :laugh

Just get AB before he brings it too close for a Morkel bashing. :upray

Ajmald's one of thebetter T20 bowlers mate! He's got him!

 

[BKB1991]

Albie Morkel is the main man now!!

 

[Garson007]

God, RSA selection is so terrible. Drop the spin act - we did a lot better when we were an all-seam attack - and for God's sake don't let Albie bowl if we have to play him, but I prefer that we play Kemp anyways.

Please drop Van der Merwe, Botha, A Morkel, Duminy, Gibbs and Smith for good measure. This team is going nowhere quick as a ODI side.

 

[Dabi]

I'm already counting my chickens!
Bring on the Aussies!!!

 

[BKB1991]

Haha, Thats amazing. Its all upto England now. Please dont disappoint us

 

[King Pietersen]

Boucher's a pathetic T20i batsman. Pitiful average of 17.86 with a strike rate of 97, surely there's a better option than him?

 

[Dabi]

Botha's form looks way better than half of SA's top order!

Dabi added 0 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

Ugh, another boundary, 17 is nervy....20 was safe!

Dabi added 3 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

Good stuff from Ajmal!
It's all England now!!!

van der merwe is a pretty big guy, but can he hit 7s?

Yeah, I think people have been darting around the issue, but he's one who really ought to be axed, at least in this format. At the very least, AB can cover that position, opening up a spot for a pure batsman or a player who can bowl better than Albie.

 

[SaiSrini]

OMG, Pakistan have won it here! Depends on England now. Will they beat NZ to let Pakistan in the semifinals? South Africa and major trophies again do not sync with each other. If NZ win today and India are out of the tournament tomorrow, wont feel too disappointed because South Africa and Pakistan are also coming with us.

There is still a remote chance for an India-Pak final. Would be a miracle if that happens.

great win by Pak..... Ajmal is absolutely amazing.... good job of bringing in Abdur Rehman... we have a quality attack.. if only the batsman can score consistently.... the bowlers will be able to defend

Damn i'm surprised its that poor. But i'm nsot sure if thats big deal just yet, since Boucher has all the prerequisties to be a top T20 lower-order bat based his ODI performances.

But they do have Heino Kuhn around as back-up.

 

[BKB1991]

Muahahahah!!!
Nice to at least go out with the win (hoping thats not the case). Well all left to England now, but I have feeling that they might disappoint us. If only they had KP
