Kneel over Pakistan – 1st ODI Report

Cricket Bloggers of PakistanPak vs SA 1st ODI – Centurion Park: Kneel over Pakistan could literally have been the one more last thing that the South Africans could have asked while they ransacked the Pakistan cricket team. The batting performance but almost every South African was par excellence, they beat, they raped and they mauled the Pakistani bowling line up as if the little league was sent to the Centurion Park from Pakistan. Pakistan lost by 169 runs, South Africa 392/6 & Pakistan 228

I cant even dare take the names of the departed Pakistani bowlers, may their souls Rest In Peace. But lets go ahead and read their last rites. Razzaq, one over for twenty two runs, …. let me repeat that Abdur Razzaq literally mauled for 22 runs in the only over that he bowled that day perhaps saved his capitulation since Rana Naveed averaged 11.6 runs per over was the highest by any Pakistani bowler who has bowled at least five overs in a match, Baba Ganja (Naveed) bowled an embarrassing eight runs to be slaughtered all over centurion for NINETY TWO runs. Praise thy lord, we are barely a month away from starting the World Cup, maybe the Women’s team could be far more deserving for a chance at the big stage.

The rites continue with long flippity flop hair of Mohd Sami who was served with a mouthful of runs nearing 68 runs in the 7 over he bowled an appalling 9.11 runs per over. While the spinners Hafeez, Malik and Afridi kept the runs in check as God Forbid another forty odd runs this seventh highest total of 392 could have become the world record setting highest total at 443. We were on track to achieve that record as it seems our bowlers had decided to bend over ready to be F&^%ed by the South Africans in royal fashion in front of a capacity Centurion crowd.

The turn at bat was in my opinion decent, to even clamber up the ladder and reach a total of 228 was commendable and heck a smack-your-forehead 46 by none other then Mr. Sami deserves to be pushed up maybe to open for Pakistan as his performance was brave signifigantly better than the 21 by Hafeez or 13 by Akmal. With such a dismal performance, I am game for any gamble.

Enough of the last rites….. its sad but Pakistan needed this embarrassing defeat and I may even be ready to take a big whopping in SOuth Africa to set the moral down long enough that the World Cup is taken more as a challenge then a simple walk in the park. We need to sit and evaluate the game plan and come up with a better chin-lifting performance on Wednesday, Otherwise I may have to throw in the towel and summon Aktar to just come in and bully us some wicket, let it be known for a fact that I would generally not recommend Akhtar at-all but with such a dismal performance by all our players we might have to look at other alternative and for now Shoaib Akhtar seems to be the only fit player that can be looked upon to join the side (since Shabbir has gone back home after groin problems creeping up while taking a decent whopping at the Twenty20)

As they say Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji’oon, until next time

    Unity, faith, discipline – all three lacking in the national team. The most unconsistent bunch of gits ever.
    It wouldn’t be so painful if these guys weren’t actually talented. To have talent and to waste it due to the inability to act and perform as a disciplined, cohesive cricket team is pretty damn shameful.
