Pakistan v South Africa, 1st ODI, Abu Dhabi, Oct 29, 2010

I know I can't wait.

Is Younis Khan going to play in this one?

Yeah

Asad Shafiq is also likely to play, unfortunately there is no room for Fawad Alam because of Misbah's return

i am guessing...

1- Shafiq
2- Hafeez
3- Younis Khan
4- Akmal
5- Misbah
6- Razzaq
7- Afridi
8- Haider
9- Gul
10- Ajmal
11- Shoaib

Alam is probably the best fielder in the Pakistan side. Idiots.

Fawad has batted fairly well in ODIs as well

Both Shafiq and Fawad are good ODI players how ever U Akmal has been quite disappointing in recent times

There's nothing like a bet to make a jamodi more interesting.

I just put $20 on Pakistan to win at $3.10 with a $42 return if they win. I feel dirty and slightly foolish betting on Pakistan, but my theory is that they are due a surprising, against the odds victory in this game before reverting back to mediocrity.

Which is greater ... South Africa's ability to choke, or Pakistan's ability to fix/fold?

Paksters going along at a decent rate atm, should be able to build a competitve total from here.

Langeveldt ahead of Charlize suggests that SA might be into the fixing too.

Afridi you c*nt.

A bit of a collapse from Pakistan. Tsotsobe continues his good form. Pitch is a bit slow which could aid the Pakistani spinners.

Pakistan have to be at their very best to beat SA so if they collapse and SELF destruct like this then there is no hope

Well that was farking easy. Almost like playing Zim, except that no one pays Zim to cheat.

But fair does to Pak, nice of them to give Kallis an extended net after his return from injury.

Also nice to see the SA batsmen showing Figjam the contempt he deserves.

Aye, very cakewalky like the 2 T20s. And it looks like Trev's little wager turned out a poor investment.

And has the new papadum fingers Smithy busted another one?

Aye. Things were looking good when the Paksters were 120-1. Their ability to collapse is unrivaled.

Fixed.

Very impressed by SA's batting and this new fast bowler looks very good too.

Surely they will FINALLY make a WC final next year.

there is a 2nd ODI tomorrow.
