South Africa v Pakistan, 2nd T20, Centurion, 3 March, 2013

I fell down on the job with the first one (apologies), but it was washed out anyway. Frankly, I thought the Wacky tour was over. Oh well.

Skully, there are still 6 more matches to go(you should know that)

Also, i must thank you for this brilliant avatar, i have kept for several years now because i am a big fan of you!

I must've been confusing the plethora of short form games NZ played against SAf. They seem to have been endless in Yarptown.

Will AB be a centurion @ Centurion?

Will KP be an Emirate at Old Trafford?

Will Cook drive a Kia into the Oval carpark?

Is the ex-Pope a wild bear?

I think Cook is more likely to have a Kia-Ora in New Zealand.

Will de Kock rise to the occasion or as predicted in the press be a non-event because AB has decided to open and take the gloves?

Will it as in Durban?

It's not AB's decision to make

Pak. has won the toss and decided to bat, Faf wanted to bowl so both are happy.

AB had got his way and will open and keep while de Kock has been left out because the likes of Ontong and Behardien have to play. The selection of the former amuses as he has seemingly been around for a long time without doing much yet seems to always get in these squads. Is getting on too. Would have thought investment in someone younger in a game like this might have been the ticket.

Very new look Pakistani side, hopefully they won't suck today.

not really.

Behardien is rubbish. Ontong isn't that bad, really. Henry Davids? I'm not convinced. But yeah, surely they've gotta get de Kock in there somewhere.

I was looking forward to see JP Duminy bat, i wonder if he is still injured?

Another brilliant T20 innings from Hafeez

No, he played in the tests.

Yep, pity he's so shit in cricket.

Tell that to the S African guys who are receiving such a brutal hammering

Ontong has always been shit Trev.

Stupid tosser stands on his wicket

wow what a strange way to get out! Hafeez played a quality shot that went for 4 but unfortunately his foot made contact with the stumps...
Still a stunning innings...

I'm not sure he's ever really been given much of a chance. Early in his career he was picked as a bowling all rounder, (controversially) played that one test, and since then has only received a handful of ODIs/T20s, mostly batting down the order at 6 or 7. I'm not saying he's actually a world beater, just that he's perhaps unlucky not to have been given a bit more of a chance.

Better than Maxwell, but not good enough for SA.

Shahid bhai looks a touch nervous, that is very rare indeed!

Kamran's keeping has improved but his batting has really gone downhill for some reason.
