[Iceman]

Strange, another low scoring match amongst all the high ones. It seems we get high 200s or over 300 and even 400, or below 200 for both teams like this and the OZ - SA match. Congrats to India though.

 

[Hound55]

Aust vs NZ.

 

[Kaleb]

Just tuned in to see Pakistan lose their 2nd wicket vs South Africa,currently 93/2

 

[Iceman]

111-2 off 22 overs. That's pretty good against SA!

 

[Iceman]

Pakistan were batting way too slowly after that 2nd wicket and now a 3rd wicket. Why does it all have to go to **** when I start watching?

 

[Kaleb]

111-2 off 22 overs. That's pretty good against SA!

ABD gets the 3rd much needed wicket, Its been a while since South Africa has batted 2nd

 

[Iceman]

They're better at batting first right? I hope Pakistan can put up a good score to set up a good match. Gonna have to keep on to these wickets and pick up at least 5 runs an over for a while.

yeah so far they have had more success batting 1st this world cup . Pakistan have seemed to have gotten their act together recently, I'm thinking at this rate they can get about 310-320.

 

[Iceman]

Good time to start coming into form with the knockouts getting closer. I've not been able to take them seriously so far so hopefully they can start gearing up.

 

[Kaleb]

Man, behind Steyn and perhaps Morkel,SA just don't have any other standout bowlers

 

[Kaleb]

Zimbabwe vs Ireland should be a fun match

 

[Iceman]

Bit like India.

 

[Iceman]

Wicket, damn they're not getting any momentum.

 

[Kaleb]

Bit like India.

yep.

and another wicket 156/4

 

[W/ Great Power]

It may be a decent score against SA so far, but their batting is tremendous.

Haven't they put up 400+ runs in more than one match?

yeah the last 2 games I think against Ireland and WI.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, like Kaleb said though they are great at putting up big scores but not quite as good at chasing a high score (I guess most teams aren't).

 

[W/ Great Power]

That's what I thought, Kaleb

Even if they're not all that great at chasing, Pakistan's fielding is abysmal.

 

[Kaleb]

sounds like its going to be rain eventually.

 

[Iceman]

Bloody hell 5 down now, in the middle of power play.

 

[W/ Great Power]

We couldn't afford to lose that wicket...

Their fielding should be its own entry on the opposition's scorecard. t:
