urgh play suspended again

 

[Iceman]

Bloody rain!

 

[W/ Great Power]

It's unfortunate because I was really looking forward to how Afridi and Misbah would fare.

Edit: Meant to post that before the suspension.

 

[Kaleb]

play resumed

currently 203/5 (41 overs)

 

[Iceman]

Oh better turn it back on. Want to at least see the end of the batting innings. 5am here though.

 

[Kaleb]

damn Afridi was having his way with Steyn before he got caught by Duminy

6 wickets down

 

[Iceman]

Bloody hell, the first ball I tune in and Afridi gets out.

ouch, 2am here

 

[Iceman]

Oh no. 7 now.

 

[Kaleb]

hmm

 

[Kaleb]

looks like its gonna be out

 

[Iceman]

Review confirms he's out but there wasn't much doubt 212-7.

 

[Kaleb]

good over by Tahir

 

[W/ Great Power]

What did they have during the break?

 

[Iceman]

Misbah playing ****. Doesn't run so that he can keep the strike. Fails to get any more runs in the next few balls. Then gets out!

 

[W/ Great Power]

I was hoping we would at least get to 250..

 

[Iceman]

I don't think the rain helped your guys.

 

[Iceman]

9. Do South Africans ever drop catches. Pakistan would have dropped most of these.

good catch by Tahir

Since the Jonty Rhodes days they have proud themselves on fielding

 

[Iceman]

One more catch to finish them off. Great performance.

 

[Kaleb]

Pakistan really didnt have any choice but to go for it ever since they got back after the rain

 

[Iceman]

Can't see SA not chasing this down.

 

[Kaleb]

Yeah Im just hoping this is the game that gets Quinton De Kock out of his funk

 

[W/ Great Power]

I don't think the rain helped your guys.

I can't say I'm surprised. I'm not happy with the results, but I was expecting them to start taking some chances soon.
