King Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 So much for South Africa's ODI form and top contenders for the World Cup :shrug: It was an absolutely comfortable win for Paksitan. They have shot Saffies out in less than 50 overs with a bowling line that lacks lot of their top bowlers. Guess what, Sami has been unleashed :hic: The eternal flop Sami rose to the occassion by not only picking 2 wickets but also gave away only 13 runs off his 5 overs. It is a different thing he gave away 3 extras though :hic: World Cup Warm-up Matches Pakistan v South Africa 2006/07 season Played at Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, St Augustine, Trinidad (neutral venue), on 9 March 2007 (50-over match) Result Pakistan won by 7 wickets (with 33 balls remaining) South Africa innings (50 overs maximum) R M B 4s 6s SR captain GC Smith b Umar Gul 1 0 8 0 0 12.50 AB de Villiers lbw b Mohammad Sami 3 0 4 0 0 75.00 JH Kallis lbw b Danish Kaneria 29 0 74 0 0 39.18 HH Gibbs c wicket-keeperKamran Akmal b Mohammad Sami 11 0 21 0 0 52.38 AG Prince lbw b Mohammad Hafeez 35 0 55 0 0 63.63 LL Bosman c Inzamam-ul-Haq b Shoaib Malik 53 0 57 0 0 92.98 wicket-keeper MV Boucher b Mohammad Hafeez 22 0 40 0 0 55.00 SM Pollock c Yasir Arafat b Shoaib Malik 9 0 14 0 0 64.28 AJ Hall run out (Umar Gul/Shoaib Malik) 5 0 14 0 0 35.71 RJ Peterson b Umar Gul 4 0 9 0 0 44.44 R Telemachus not out 1 0 2 0 0 50.00 Extras (b 12, lb 1, w 6, nb 7) 26 Total (all out; 48.3 overs) 199 Did not bat CK Langeveldt, A Nel Fall of wickets1-5 (de Villiers), 2-5 (Smith), 3-27 (Gibbs), 4-93 (Prince), 5-93 (Kallis), 6-136 (Boucher), 7-173 (Pollock), 8-183 (Bosman), 9-194 (Hall), 10-199 (Peterson) Bowling O M R W Econ Umar Gul 6.3 2 20 2 3.07 (1nb, 2w) Mohammad Sami 5 0 13 2 2.60 (3nb) Yasir Arafat 7 0 27 0 3.85 (1nb) Azhar Mahmood 4 0 18 0 4.50 (1nb) Danish Kaneria 10 0 35 1 3.50 Mohammad Hafeez 7 0 23 2 3.28 Shoaib Malik 5 0 35 2 7.00 (1nb, 4w) Shahid Afridi 4 0 15 0 3.75 Pakistan innings (target: 200 runs from 50 overs) R Imran Nazir c Bosman b Nel 0 Mohammad Hafeez c wicket-keeperBoucher b Langeveldt 49 Younis Khan lbw b Smith 79 Mohammad Yousuf not out 48 Shoaib Malik not out 16 Extras (lb 3, w 5) 8 Total (3 wickets; 44.3 overs) 200 Did not bat captainInzamam-ul-Haq, wicket-keeperKamran Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Sami, Yasir Arafat, Umar Gul, Danish Kaneria, Azhar Mahmood, Naved-ul-Hasan Fall of wickets1-7 (Imran Nazir), 2-75 (Mohammad Hafeez), 3-157 (Younis Khan) Bowling O M R W Econ SM Pollock 7 2 19 0 2.71 A Nel 7 2 21 1 3.00 AJ Hall 5 0 23 0 4.60 CK Langeveldt 6 1 21 1 3.50 R Telemachus 5 0 21 0 4.20 JH Kallis 2 0 15 0 7.50 (1w) RJ Peterson 6 0 40 0 6.66 GC Smith 5.3 0 34 1 6.18 (4w) AG Prince 1 0 3 0 3.00 Toss Pakistan, who chose to field first Umpires IJ Gould (England) and PD Parker (Australia) Link to comment
kumble_rocks Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa I am not going to read too much into a warm up game. SA is still the No 1 Contender in my opinion. Link to comment
yoda Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa Yea, I decided these warmups are kinda worthless sometime after enjoying our win and before the Pak win. :lmao: Link to comment
Ram Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa the numbers tell only the half of the story... the SA coach was heard complainin tht it was a tale of two pitches... wet and unplayabl when SA batted and dry and easy paced when Pak batted.. they even had to stop th match fr smtim when SA batted it seems..

gator Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa the bottom line is SA gained more from tht match than paki did... if u think, sami and gull were more successful than ntini and co, it has to be the pitch.... but then again, i like YK coming in at number 3....

MundaPakistani Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa Wonderful win for PAK...love the excuses: hic: Link to comment
King Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa A win is a win no matter what the number says and the number doesn't. Pakistan has had two wins in a row while Saffies have lost 2 in a row. Even if you play your best cricket and lose in the end it doesn't build confidence. A win always works in a positive way, no second thoughts to it. Link to comment

Cricketics Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Pakistan make short meal of South Africa their batting line up struggled to put 200+ against both week bowling line up of bangladesh and decent line up of pak. lets see how they go when they meet Aussies in their group..
