What pitch will this match be played on?

I think its only fair to have all the tournaments matches played on normal. Then again thats my opinion.

Paradox

Yes Boi, all matches will be played on a Normal track as there'll be no one to decide pitch type since there are no home-away games.

Afridi_Fan

That wicket was not needed.

Paradox

There, Fawad's gone. He had to go sooner or later, as his score shows, he was clearly struggling out there. Not a harmful delivery at all from Ntini, just a probing line outside off, and Alam just fished at it to give a sitter to Smith in the slips.

15.3 Pollock to Yousuf, OUT, What a BRILLIANT catch by Imran Tahir at gully! Just some extra bounce created by Pollock off a good length delivery, Yousuf cut it hard wide of Tahir but a spectacular dive has led to the fall of another Pakistan wicket!

Paradox

45.1 Parnell to Ul-Haq, SIX, HUGE! Shades of the Misbah from the T20 WC '07.
The crowd cheers for Misbah Ul-Haq's fifty
45.2 Parnell to Ul-Haq, no run, Misbah Ul-Haq missed that one by a mile
45.3 Parnell to Ul-Haq, no run, Left alone by Misbah Ul-Haq
45.4 Parnell to Ul-Haq, legbye, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down
45.5 Parnell to U Akmal, OUT, GONE, CAUGHT BEHIND! Lovely ball from Parnell, probing line outside off and coming into the batsman, Umar plays a flashy cover drive but nicks it back to the keeper, a'la Kamran!

Afridi_Fan

Now just hit out

and :akmal

Paradox

Wicket really fell at the wrong time, just when Umar got going. Now his elder brother needs to take as less time as possible to get set and crack a few boundaries.

Paradox

46.1 Steyn to Ul-Haq, OUT, Ul-Haq cant belive it. Not a good way to get out. Went for the scoop, hit it right onto the stumps.

Misbah Ul-Haq 52 (55b 2X4 3X6)

48.5 Parnell to Mushtaq, one run, The misfield by Villiers allows yet another run
48.6 Parnell to Aamer, no run, Mohammad Aamer missed that one by a mile

Afridi_Fan

So typical of us.

Paradox

Another gone, Kamran continuing his horrendous form. Will these loss of wickets in the end be a major part in Pakistan's loss, if they lose tonight? Let's see. Last over coming.

49.1 Tahir to Mushtaq, one run, That is very well run by Mohammad Aamer
49.2 Tahir to Aamer, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down

Paradox

283. It's not in any way a bad total, but it isn't too good either. I would say it's par for a normal pitch in Pakistan. Let's see how South Africa fare chasing this down.

Afridi_Fan

Low score but we have the bowlers to defend it.

Paradox

0.1 Riaz to Amla, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Kamran Akmal

Paradox

4.1 Riaz to Smith, OUT, MAGNIFICENT CATCH BY SAQLAIN! Slower ball from Riaz, Smith plays a lofted straight drive down the ground but falls to the slower ball - it's a skier, yet the ball seems to be landing in a safe place, in no man's land - but Saqlain, all the way from short midwicket, runs down to mid-on to take a lovely diving catch! Great stuff from the legend!

Graeme Smith 11 (13b 1X4)

After ten overs - a decent start by South Africa, but the required run rate is now very near to a run a ball - they need to catch up.

Afridi_Fan

Stunning catch by a Pakistani?

Am I dreaming?

Paradox

13.1 Raza to Kallis, OUT, GONE! Raza, a star tonight with the bat, has bowled a GEM of a ball to Kallis! Will he be the difference between the two teams tonight?!

South Africa choke, yet again, at the wrong time. This was a vital game for them, a game which mostly everyone thought they would win. Now they look like they won't be going too far. Well, let's see. The game is nowhere close to being over yet, two good batsmen at the crease for South Africa, can they spark a revival?

Afridi_Fan

Good bowling Wahab

Need to keep getting those wickets.

15.1 Mushtaq to Amla, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman

Paradox

This game is turning out to be very one-sided indeed. Pollock and Villiers, two hard hitting batsmen, look shadows of themselves tonight. But they are very well set, and we know how dangerous they are when they're set. Required run rate is quite hard, but you never know, with the unpredictable batting of South Africa, and the unpredictable bowling of Pakistan.
