Pakistan vs South Africa ODI series 2010

[ZexyZahid]

Somehow I feel that another player will get injured leaving me with another half-broken team.

Somebody knows what is wrong with Kallis? During the T20I's I saw a couple of times in the stands watching the match. He looked pretty relaxed. Personally I feel that South Africa doesn't want to risk him of playing matches and getting injured. Hopefully the same counts for Steyn as well. That will mean Theron will play then, unless Parnell gets chances to play.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Here we go. Theron is selected for the ODI squad, but it is not sure whether he will play. Steyn certainly won't play the 1st ODI.

Kallis and Steyn sat out both the Twenty20 matches against Pakistan. Steyn is unlikely to be fit for the opening one-day international in Abu Dhabi on Sunday but South Africa are hopeful about being able to include Kallis who has been struggling with a back problem. "We are going to have to make some difficult choices when everybody is fit and available and it is a nice problem to have," Hudson added.

On boy, this game doesn't look good for my score. No Steyn, Theron or Umar Akmal.

 

[SciD]

Umar Akmal and Albie Morkel not playing.

Update after the 1st ODI: SA 207/2 (39.3 ov, CA Ingram 12*, JP Duminy 10*, Umar Gul 0/34) - Match over | Live Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Smith was injured on his hands and Kallis had cramps. Both got out retired hurt. So don't know whether they will play in the next ODI's.

I am really missing Botha in my team.

[aussie1st]

If only I knew about Tsotsobe playing, he is killing it.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I think not many people have Tsotsobe in their teams. What Tsotsobe is doing I was actually expecting it from Theron.

I really hope Kallis will get rested for a while, because he can bring me in trouble.

On the other hand the current number one doesn't have him in his team.

 

[Haarithan]

Yeah tsotsobe has been really classy with the ball and almost 90 % of the members are having him in the team including me. And its great to see me hit some form again after a dreadful couple of months

 

[Akash00]

Yeah tsotsobe has been really classy with the ball and almost 90 % of the members are having him in the team including me

I didn't check everyone's team but how? because he wasn't even sure to play.

I've checked it out. Nobody seems to have Tsotsobe in their teams. Neither do you. So he can take all the wickets he wants. It wouldn't matter.

 

[SciD]

Get any bowler injured and I get him replaced by Tsotsobe.

Whats news on Kallis and Smith. If they are injured or out then replace them for me as I will not be coming online for 2 days I think.

 

[ZexyZahid]

They can only be replaced if they are out of the ODI series. So don't worry about that yet. They may miss only one or two ODI's.

My reserve bowler is Botha, so that's not a bad back-up.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Smith, Kallis, Gul and Theron aren't playing in the 2nd ODI. So I was right about having a half-broken team.

Update after the 2nd ODI: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi, Oct 31, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

I had only 7 players playing in my team, but four of them performed: Amla, Duminy, Afridi and Razzaq. The only problem is Langeveldt who took 3 wickets and scored a run out. Also Ingram scored a century.
