1st ODI: Pakistan v South Africa at Sharjah

This should be reviewed and anodda Match fee ?  :-[

24.2
Tsotsobe to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, oh dear! Shehzad and Faf collide!

Misbah steered it to the off side and they set off for a quick single, Faf ran in from point and dived

towards the stumps just as Shehzad dived at the crease, Faf barged onto Shehhzad's chest

and the batsman was struck on the chin too, Shehzad's mouth is bleeding

Faf is fine but Shehzad isn't. He is clutching his wrist as well and the physio and reserve players are out for assistance,

Shehzad's on his feet so that's a good sign  ....

24.3
Tsotsobe to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, and Shehzad responds by charging down the track,
looks to pull but the ball strikes the body :-[

27.5

Parnell to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, attempts another pull and he's caught at short midwicket !

This trraveled quite quickly, this was short and he swiveled to pull flat and he couldn't get it past Smith 

Ahmed Shehzad c Smith b Parnell 58

Whenever Shahid Afridi comes in to bat I know there will be fireworks. I'm not sure why he feels the need to hit every ball for six, but he could easily have won the match for Pakistan if he'd played more sensibly.

Not that I'm complaining 

Oh my god Pakistan is total TROLOLO
I switched off when I saw some excruciatingly slow yet safe batting, I thought "meh, this is pretty much done and dusted". And then I wake up and see that SA won by 1 RUN!!

Go home Pakistan, you're drunk.

Err, you do realize you're talking about a dude who thought it was a good idea to bite the shit out of a ball IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS? Have you considered the option that he's just... stupid? Having good muscle power and hitting ability doesn't necessarily mandate decent brains, which lets face it, he doesn't have. Cricketing or otherwise.

And why should he? He's still idolized by lots of people and people love to watch him. Why should he give two craps?

How difficult was this pitch to bat on that Pak couldn't make 180? Or did they just crumble?
