Pakistan v South Africa in Dubai 2010

[simon]

It cld hv been Afridi,but Razzaq, by goodness,what an innings.
Pakistanis r so unpredictable & gifted.
Unfortunate for them that they r not consistent engh.
anyway,congratulations to Pak & Razzq & undoubtly one of the best ODI innings,not less than Sachin's 200.

[Habib]

South Africa badly missed Theron's death over bowling & to a certain extent Graeme Smith's captaincy tonight.

[Rabz]

Innings of a lifetime from Razzak !!
What a knock !!!
Congrats to him for single handedly winning the game for his country.

Shahid Afridi to de Villiers, OUT, This could be out, the third umpire called to check on a stumping appeal. Lovely bit of flight and turn from Afridi, who lands it on middle and off and snakes it past AB's uncertain prod outside off. The replay suggests not out. Wait a minute, the third umpire has said "Out"! Controversial stuff here, he seemed atleast two inches in when the bails came off. Smith in the dressing room throws his hands out and looks absolutely annoyed. Well, well! We need to look at that again, and maybe the 3rd umpire, Zameer Haider, needs to as well! The decision stays, AB is gone. Well, we have seen replays and that is a howler from the 3rd ump. AB's backfoot did come out, but he was well in when the bails came off. Even Fawad Alam, who was walking past AB as he headed back looked surprised with the call. AB just shrugged, looking clueless as he kept walking. Bizarre.

[shakibrulz]

Most shocking decision ever. Great piece of biased umpiring by the Paki 3rd umpire.

I was pretty sure he had the highest avg in ODIs and I was close. He is second on the list with a machine like 59. #3 Bevan is a pedestrian 53. Only 5 with an average > 5, with the usual suspects of Hussey and Dhoni rounding out below him.

What caught my eyes was #1. An avg of 68.55 in 27 matches. And not a minnow basher either - his average against G8 is 67+.

No wonder he was Associate Player of the Year. He could make it to many Test playing sides.

He is none other than Netherland's ten Doeschate.

^^^
Wow
Have to check his profile. I think he played some games against Bangladesh before the T20 WC in 2007.

He is a south African. Hmm No wonder!

[Habib]

What a boring batting display by Pak. Razzak's innings today is the proof that his last innings was a once in a life time innings. Regardless of today's result, Zimbo batting line up> Pak batting line up.

[Eshen]

Well, Fawad Alam is no match winner, he let his team down when he gave up the strike on the 4th ball of the last over, when the #10 batsman is at the other end!

[mac]

I followed the last 10 overs of the match. Riaz played really well but it was Azmal who with his horrible batting and running between the wicket made it difficult for Pakistan. Also SA bowled badly but what surprised me was their below standard fielding ( never seen them fielding so bad). Fawad Alam should have taken the responsibility rather than shying away from the strike. Wasn't so impressed with the quality of cricket played but both the team tried their best to lose and hence made it interesting.

[dolcevita]

Amla is too good , current best odi batsmen

^ I think Moyeen Khan was the last good Wicket Keeper they had.
