Semi Final 1: Pakistan vs South Africa

[send2yaari]

If Pakistan will Play to their potential then they are far more dangerous the SA.Highly great fast bowlers,unplayable spinners,superb middle order but that's happen rarely.

Would be really interesting to see,Pak is doing well,but SA is on the high,SA seems to be fav here...

I have a good feeling that we are going to finally break this semi final Jynx. We have being superb throughout the tournament and We have being a better side than Pakistan, with Pakistan only really beating one side of real quality and that was New Zealand other than that it was the two associate teams who they were victorious over.

With the bat,we are the better team with Ab, Kallis and Smith all in the runs and we bat all the way down to number 10, to Parnell. Pakistan have the edge on spin bowling with Afridi and Ajmal being menacing but We have the edge in the quickies with two of the highest quality fast bowlers opening. Gul didn't have a great time in the warm up game though nether did any Pakistani player really.

South Africa to take it with Parnell or Steyn getting a good few wicket early on in the Powerplay.

I seriously hope we aren't busy choking on a nice and juicy semi-final..... Would be such a shame too.

Great to see Afridi in touch. I'm supporting our subcontinent brothers here. Hate the fact that the South African spinners have been bowling so economically--someone needs to put them in their place and it looks like Afridi is gaining the touch to do that.... but he's probably going to be out soon.

Afridi just went Crazyy!

Yup, as expected greed got the better of him. But this should be a good platform for Misbah and Razzaq to take control, down the order.

Thanks for the help, anyone else you'd like to jynx?

Was pretty brave bowling Duminy, but it worked so no complaints!

I've done my work with Misbah and Razzaq already.

Afridi is almost doing his magic here. Umar Gul is yet to come. Afridi has got two of the prized wickets, Gibbs and De Villiers. I think Pakistan are now well into this game and have a serious chance of causing an upset to South Africa.

[Howsie]

Pakistan are on top

I wasn't expecting that when I woke up, how the heck did Afridi make 50 lol. But he looks like he is having a good game.

RSA needs 54 to win off 5.1 overs

[MacLovin]

why?? why would you go for Alam?? why?? why do you need an extra bowler when you have soo many other options

MacLovin added 9 Minutes and 1 Seconds later...

YESS Kalliss! Donw!

[sohum]

This could get tight with a couple of lusty hits, but I'd say South Africa have gone ahead and choked again, while Pakistan has peaked at just the right time in the tournament.

[Howsie]

Gul is only going to bowl three overs, that is real poor captaincy there.
