Steyn goes now 139/7 WI like
Re: Pakistan v South Africa at Auckland - dillinger10 - 03-07-2015
I'm a little surprised by how much strike AB is giving to the batsman at the other end. Holder farmed the strike brilliantly for WI yesterday but AB seems more than happy to take any run available, regardless of how many balls have been bowled in the over.

He trusts Abbot to stick around
Re: Pakistan v South Africa at Auckland - dillinger10 - 03-07-2015
Abbot goes. 60 more runs still needed.
Re: Pakistan v South Africa at Auckland - anandgb - 03-07-2015
2 6s and now a 4 from Abbot
172/7
Re: Pakistan v South Africa at Auckland - anandgb - 03-07-2015
Abbot goes. 172/8
Re: Pakistan v South Africa at Auckland - anandgb - 03-07-2015
55 needed and AB takes the power play

Not looking too good. We've done a great job setting targets but don't seem to be too good at chasing them. Our big problem is that we don't seem to have a decent all-rounder at the moment. The part time bowlers are giving away too many runs.

I saw a stat earlier that South Africa have won only 41 percent of matches when chasing in ODIs since January 2013, only West Indies and Pakistan have a poorer record when batting second over the same time span.
