232 is do-able

Pakistan gonna pakistanReduced overs means D/L applies. So why the feck are Pakistan throwing away wickets when free runs would get added on if they have wickets in hand?! Surely they haven't forgotten the rules? Shoaib Akhtar losing his shit over this issue
Higher than what? He came in at 4 today. At 3 and 4 you just don't have time to use 10 overs to settle. At one stage he had 9 from 29 balls and the RR fell from middle 5's to low 4's. Khan was (for once) playing well until Misbah arrived. Misbah's arrival staggered the innings. 300+ was on the cards and his negativity completely killed all the momentum.Seems to be a player that needs a couple of overs to start going. Maybe management should play him higher up the order?
If Pakistan made 222 all out, why do SA have to chase 232?Over for Pakistan. 222 all out.

Thanks, woke up late so didn't see most of the Pakistan innings so wasn't aware that he came in at 4. Still, seems he needs some overs to get going and with the rain and everything it looks like he couldn't get going.Higher than what? He came in at 4 today.

Mr. Duckworth and Lewis.If Pakistan made 222 all out, why do SA have to chase 232?
D/L method. Because the overs were shortened, South Africa have to score more now. I can't understand why too since we bowled Pakistan out before the 47. But anyway, it's do-able.If Pakistan made 222 all out, why do SA have to chase 232?
Oh, I'm talking about Zimbabwe.I think they wanted to show that they could chase runs too. Good thing for Pakistan because if SA had batted first and got over 300, the D/L method would have made Pakistan's run chase extremely hard.
Yup.That's why you play a specialist keeper. Umar's a good fielder but he wouldn't have caught that.
Nah, I wasn't. I just thought it was a weird thing to come out with, so assumed we the best response in kind I could offer was a similarly childish one.Wait, India are the World Champions aren't they?
EDIT : Late post. Oh I don't know why we're doing this, I'm Indian, but I'm not emotionally invested with Indian cricket team, I gave you a parallel thinking it's funny, but you thought it was a dig. You seem to be bit butt hurt about this.
