00:00Here's a chance for Pakistan to restore their reputation, tarnished by their opening performance
00:06against Australia, but their batting effort against the Namibian part-timers was less
00:10than convincing.
00:12255 for nine and it was left to Shoaib Akhter and Wazir Makram to remind us what a powerful
00:19cricket nation Pakistan can still be.
00:53Looked very good against the Australians, showed mental strength and also good technique.
01:0038 games he has played, more than a thousand runs.
01:04Average is good and higher score 135 against Zimbabweans.
01:08Oh good delivery, that one beats the outside edge of the bat and Sani Milai will take note
01:17of that.
01:18Good seam position for Sneiman.
01:23Plenty of movement off the seam.
01:29Pitching the ball in the business area, ideal delivery to the opener.
01:34Generating a lot of bounce from this pitch.
01:38That's nicely played, that's going to go through the gap for four.
01:41A confident stroke here from Milai.
01:45When you're facing the new ball and the bowlers are swinging the ball around, as a batsman
01:50you've got to be patient.
01:52You've got to wait for the opportunity and on that occasion, the opportunity was there
01:56for Salim Elahi to hit the ball on the front foot and into the gap.
02:02A fast bowler pitching the ball for the first time up to the batsman and Salim Elahi was
02:08equal to the task, bouncing on the opportunity and picking up his first boundary of this
02:12innings.
02:13Oh that's beautifully stroked, that's going to run away through the covers, fast outfield
02:21here so it should run away for four, yes it does, lovely stroke.
02:27Both these bowlers, they've been pitching the ball just back of the length and every
02:33time they've tried the Pakistani batsman on the front foot with a fuller delivery, they've
02:39been penalised.
02:40In the previous over, it was Salim Elahi and now Saeed Anwar hitting the ball on the up,
02:45sublime timing and the placement.
02:49Balance was good and this is going to give Saeed Anwar a lot of confidence.
02:53What Saeed Anwar did on that occasion, just held the ball along the way for his second
02:57boundary.
02:59Outside the line, no stroke off it but I don't think he was in any danger there.
03:10Very close to the stumps, the fast bowler, the ball was holding its line and the line
03:16of impact was way outside the off stump, easy decision, pitching onto the middle stump and
03:23kept on going with the angle.
03:25There's a shout here, good recovery there from the Pakistanis, a bit of indecision.
03:45You were talking about running between the wicket by Salim Elahi, that was excellent.
03:49Oh, there's a big shout here and that one looked as if it was much closer than the previous
03:57delivery which struck him outside the off stump, given not out.
04:03The question for the umpire on that occasion was whether the ball was coming a long way
04:07in, was it going to hit the off stump and on that occasion, the bounce saving Saeed
04:16Anwar.
04:18There was no doubt, the ball pissed within the line, excellent decision from the umpire.
04:26A couple of good deliveries, that's beautifully played, that's going to go down the ground,
04:31there's going to be a long chase on here, well that's 50-50 at the moment, does very
04:36very well.
04:40Three runs to Saeed Anwar.
04:44Excellent cricket all around, wasn't a bad delivery.
04:48Beautiful cricketing stroke from Saeed Anwar, hitting the ball on the up with the full face
04:53of the bat, bisecting the bowler and the fieldsman, but how well the fieldsman has done.
04:59Chased the ball very hard, managed to flick the ball inside the boundary line, saving
05:05one run for his team.
05:12Beautiful stroke from Saeed Anwar.
05:14This is the length Saeed Anwar relishes on.
05:18If you keep on bowling in there, he's going to hit you with a walking stick.
05:23Boundary of the last ball, Pakistan, 30 for no loss.
05:31Great shot there on Saeed Anwar, it was the over pitch delivery that did it for him here,
05:36square of the wicket and was hit with superb timing as well.
05:42Had a full floor get but he certainly got himself into the right position, did Saeed Anwar.
05:50As that one is played beautifully through mid wicket by Salim Elahi, very well timed
05:55and it's now going to run into the boundary, fantastic piece of timing from Salim Elahi,
06:01a bit too close to leg from Van Thuren and easily dispatched by the Pakistani opener.
06:07Yes the timing was absolutely exquisite there, there wasn't much power behind the shot,
06:11the ball just carried through from the point it left the bat,
06:14just gave it direction and it raced through to the boundary.
06:22Oh in the air and it's out, Saeed Anwar just a rare moment of indiscretion
06:27and holding it out, not much movement of the feet and the ball just going up in the air
06:33and a very very good catch.
06:36Louis Berg at the catcher.
06:39Well I think if we have a look at this Ranjit, we're going to see young Kutzer
06:44as we said just getting a gentle swing away from the left handed Saeed Anwar
06:50who didn't get his feet right to the pitch, ended up reaching for it
06:55and lack of pace with the bowler and a fantastic catch from Louis Berg diving to his left
07:02and Pakistan lose their first wicket at 47 for 1 in the 12th over.
07:09So Yunus Khan the new batsman has made a reasonable record for Yunus Khan
07:15averaging 31, certainly could do better, he's someone who's got a lot of talent.
07:22Very easy technique, very sort of laid back type of player.
07:31Oh very good delivery by Kutzer, just started it on like scum
07:36and swung away, little bit of pad on that, that confused the wicket keeper a bit
07:44but running down for 4, so Kutzer maintaining the pressure.
07:51He's falling very well, he's getting the ball to swing into the right hander
07:55and away from the left hander, he did Saeed Anwar with a bit of a way swing.
07:59This is played just wide of the man at square leg, it's going to run away for 4
08:06and that will certainly release some of the pressure for Yunus Khan.
08:12Brings a cheer from the crowd, good support for the Pakistan team once again here
08:17as we saw in Wanderers.
08:20But Yunus Khan shouldn't be too happy with this shot
08:23because it went in the air, he was off balance
08:27failing to control it, wristy away from the field
08:30and now these Namibian fielders have been very athletic in the outfield.
08:35The Namibians have got good hold on this game
08:40because of their very good running length.
08:43Good running from Yunus Khan, extremely good running.
08:49Many thought that he was not an ideal number 3 batsman for Pakistan
08:53maybe one of the two Yohannar in Zamaan could have taken that place
08:58but Pakistan persisting with him
09:01and so far he's done not too badly, he's run well, he's looked for runs.
09:09There's a bit of room there, he's cut it nicely.
09:14The boundary is not coming that easy for Pakistan
09:17it's been a lot of hard work, a lot of running required between the wickets
09:21Now that may have been a bit of sloppy cricket from the Namibians
09:24Unnecessary throws at the stumps, that could cost them.
09:31That's a good length delivery
09:34Shah at the stumps
09:36They're certainly confident in the field, the Namibians
09:39they've shown some very good skill in the field
09:42some good catches, some magnificent stops on the boundary
09:45Have a look at this
09:47Shah at the stump, confident Shah
09:50Backing up is great as well
09:52So those skills I think have been nicely worked on
09:59Getting right across this time, that may run all the way to the boundary
10:02Yes it does, so four valuable runs here coming through
10:06And the score moves on to 98 for one
10:09That's nicely paired, shot delivery
10:13And the right kind of treatment has been given to that delivery
10:16Four runs
10:19That is Yunus Khan's second boundary of this innings
10:27This shot here, puts a bit too short
10:30Yunus Khan who's been in for a long time
10:33He's been in for a long time
10:36Puts a bit too short
10:38Yunus Khan who's been in for long enough now
10:40Deciding that enough is enough
10:42He had the length, quickly on to it
10:44Smashing it over mid-wicket for four
10:51And he's out
10:52Yunus Khan, not in that one
10:54Short into the hands of the wicketkeeper
10:56Big wicket for the Namibians
10:58Yunus Khan who is looking so good
11:01Looking to play an expensive stroke
11:03Not a right idea to play such a stroke for one run
11:06Had to pay the price
11:10The Namibians have stuck to their line
11:12They've kept it consistently on and around off stump
11:15And they've gotten their reward here
11:17As we look at Yunus Khan
11:20Trying to run it down to third man
11:23Bit of an off-cutter
11:25And trying to play too fine
11:27And ended up just rolling it straight into the wicketkeeper's gloves
11:31And the second wicket for Pakistan
11:33They're 105 for 2
12:01Straight away
12:05Salim Elahi punishes the bowler
12:09That's what we see so often
12:11Having dropped
12:13The baton at this level
12:15That made the bowlers pay
12:17How disappointed would
12:19Bjorn Kudsi be having just seen
12:21A chance go down off Salim Elahi
12:23Elahi then quickly
12:25Pouncing on something short and wide
12:27Threw backward point for four
12:30And Bjorn Kudsi would not be too impressed
12:32With what is happening at the minute
12:38He has not allowed
12:40Short leg before there
12:42But I think comfortably outside the off stump
12:44But Berger has not allowed
12:46Any of these Pakistani batsmen
12:48To cut loose
12:50He's done a fantastic job for his captain here
12:52As we look at the leg before short
12:54Inzaman having a little look
12:56And then getting well outside off stump
12:58And he's bowled him
13:00Inzaman Ul Haq trying to make room
13:02To cut
13:04And the captain Dian Kudsa
13:06Has gotten the wicket
13:08For the Pakistani team
13:10Wasn't a right idea was it
13:12Looking to hit the offspin
13:14On square on the offside
13:16When the ball is coming into you
13:18When you're looking to play the ball
13:20On the offside square area
13:22He fucked up his end
13:24In a slightly angled bat
13:27That's where Inzaman Ul Haq was so wrong
13:29Idea was wrong and the stroke was wrong
13:31And Inzaman Ul Haq had to pay the price
13:33Look at that
13:35Kudsa bowling very slowly
13:37But got a bit of turn
13:39And Inzaman trying to play too square
13:41And he definitely looks like a man
13:43Who's struggling for form
13:45Pakistan now 118 for 3
13:53Dian Kudse has been bowling well
13:55He's pitching the ball in the right areas
13:57And he's picked up
13:59Inzaman Ul Haq with his previous delivery
14:01And that brings Yusuf Yohanna at the crease
14:07And what Yusuf Yohanna is doing
14:09Is doing the ab thing
14:11Looking to match the ball into the gaps
14:13And keep on rotating the strike
14:15And on the other hand side
14:17Salim Elahi really have to go after the ballers
14:19End of the over
14:211-2-3 for 3
14:24And that's his 5th
14:26That's nicely placed into the gap
14:28On the onside
14:30And that's Salim Elahi's
14:32Half century
14:34He's certainly the batsman
14:36Who's really looking to hold this batting together
14:42Nabeel Bin Safdas
14:44Nicely played a beautifully timed shot
14:46Took it on the half volley
14:48And in typical Yohanna fashion
14:50Gave it direction on the onside
14:53Beating the man at Dibidon
14:57Such a good player Yusuf Yohanna
14:59Great timer of the ball
15:01Easy elegance, high backlift
15:03Great finish and the placement was
15:05Superb
15:07In control of that ball
15:09Over pitched on that middle
15:11And leg stump, that is his strength
15:18Once again Yohanna
15:20Salim Elahi that time
15:22This time picking the gap on the onside
15:24And dispatching it to the boundary
15:26End of the over
15:281-3-8 for 3
15:3011 rounds of it
15:32Surely improve
15:34There's more
15:36Top quality cricket that has been put away by Salim Elahi
15:38A chip shot nicely placed
15:48Juicy full toss
15:51Again it was a good presence of mind
15:53The placement was good
15:55Just chipping it over the man
15:57Standing at the top of the ring
16:05And it's in the end
16:07Very well caught
16:09Salim Elahi goes
16:11Salim Elahi a moment of indiscretion
16:13Looking to work it on the onside
16:15And another wicket for the Namibians

29:55they're very good
29:57they've
29:59gone up
30:01with a big shot
30:03this is given
30:05inside edge
30:11electrops
30:13which is
30:15may have got
30:17inside edge
30:19quite pleased
30:21just have
30:23there you are this is the delivery coming back as you can see nicely up
30:27right chugging back and almost cutting him in half he didn't really have much
30:33footwork Adrian Walters he goes without bothering the scorers that's the first
30:38wicket down for just one run well young Barry Berger he makes his way to the
30:46middle averaging 26 magic or 26 against Zimbabwe in Harare and he's there
30:55because the first wicket down was that of Rhian Walters there was a huge shout
31:02and the bat very far away from that you could clearly see it coming off the
31:06pants was he Mike I'm almost getting his second wicket there 141 kilometers per
31:13hour so it's gonna be Swanepoel on strike he averages 24 so in his second
31:21match he has to face the very fiery Shoaib Akhtar
31:27Namibians they haven't had too much exposure at this level of cricket so one
31:32really would sort of consider that they would be looking to try and make use of
31:36the opportunity
31:41very very well caught well for a moment that I thought they may have just dropped
31:45short first delivery from Shoaib Akhtar and Inzamam gets down very quickly to get
31:51the second wicket for Namibia excellent catch by Inzamam Ul Haq that ball
31:56wasn't really carrying to him it was falling short
32:02I think the fact that he's lost so many pounds around his waist just look at
32:07Inzamam Ul Haq just going down and picking that up just inches off the
32:11ground getting his fingers right under it so Swanepoel goes for one and that's
32:17the second wicket down for the mere three runs
32:21Donnie Kilda he makes his way into the second over only averaging 27 against
32:34Zimbabwe not too long ago that was his first game the reason he's there is
32:39because Shoaib Akhtar has removed second Namibian wicket with his very first
32:44delivery
32:50oh I had a feel at that outside the off stump that indeed was a top speed round
32:58149 there are no favors given to the Namibians as you would see Shoaib Akhtar
33:03straight away into it and sparring at that fishing at the delivery into the
33:09very safe hands there of Inzamam Ul Haq who did very well
33:19he gets the third one right on target right through the defenses of Kilda and
33:24it's number three down for Namibia the Pakistani they're certainly getting
33:30into this straightaway Shoaib Akhtar a wonderful delivery at very high speed
33:39too many answers to that look at this the ball coming at top speed and
33:45splitting those stumps batsmen just unable to cope that's the third wicket
33:53gone Kilda's gone for no score three for three
33:59so now one two three four five slips and a gully Shoaib Akhtar fifth delivery of
34:13his first over this one's wrapped him on the pad going down late so there won't
34:20be a decision here Namibians get through for two very valuable runs Smugga tried
34:30shuffling around a little bit there and that delivery not far outside like stump
34:35but all the same getting some pad on that
34:40also making it move oh that's beautiful they played what a good shot
34:53cracked away ball sort of spit from the bat as quickly as it came into it JB
35:01Berger certainly got hold of that one got into a very good position to play
35:07that didn't bounce that much and got down nicely what it on to the bat cut it
35:14beautifully backward of point you would have enjoyed that one
35:22oh this may be trouble yeah but not up the head up goes the finger what we cut
35:28down and second for Wazim Akram Wazim Akram as soon as he gets that full
35:33delivery the balls bound to move far more and mugger tried getting that pad
35:39in front shuffling a little bit and umpire Orchard not having too many doubts
35:45about that
35:50just not much of a stride forward all landing in line and hitting him right in
35:59front the speed once again put pain to his any chances of getting back to it
36:05the mugger tried goes like before to Akram before 17 for the loss of four
36:10wickets is the young Louie Berger that joins his namesake JB Berger at the
36:20wicket his best score for not out
36:27oh he may be out here he's off at no shot and Wazim Akram strikes again finger
36:33goes up the fifth wicket falls for Namibia the score 17 for 5
36:38Wazim Akram he's on song here fuller length delivery plenty of moment and
36:44young Louie Berger just look at this delivery offering no shot Louie Berger
36:52and there was no doubt in the mind of Akbar Orchard that was going to hit
36:56Middlestown so Louie Berger goes first ball without bothering the score by down
37:02for 17
37:05so no some stops for the captain if you put the second hat-trick in this
37:18competition I mean there was the first against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka met
37:23them there is got him again putting it in the right area and JP Berger has gone
37:33caught by Unistan in the slips for 14 and Namibia are 32 for 6 not a very good
37:43shot against red after a flowing drive the ball is coming at you at almost 95
37:48miles an hour really very risky there you see that flashing blade taking the
37:53edge and nicely judged by Unistan came at a awkward height but he saw it come
37:58his way eyes on the ball and he's delighted
38:00Berger is not he's gone for 14 Namibia struggling six down for 32
38:09it's now when is the new batsman for Namibia two matches not a great deal of
38:14experience he's not yet off the mark in his one day internationals their score
38:20of zero will not encourage and the Nambians because they've lost six
38:24wicket this is a six-wicket to fall nicely taken by Unistan image flowing
38:29edge very well bowled and very well caught here so that's our working of
38:34good pace very ambitious drive easily caught up
38:41that's a close one and given straight away the umpire did not hesitate one bit
38:45so he's not yet off the mark in his international career a very good
38:49delivery from Shoaib Akhtar wicket to wicket and would have gone on to hit the
38:53stamps for the second time in this game we have a Pakistani fast bowler who's
38:57on a hat-trick that is two wickets in two balls for Shoaib Akhtar got it full
39:02got it straight and the umpire had no hesitation
39:08very good bowling from Shoaib Akhtar got it right up there coming back in slightly batsman
39:15nowhere and in the end an easy decision for the umpire so Jerry Snyman goes
39:21first ball well the keeper is in Mel Ben Scott in fact it's fun Scott
39:3132 for 7 Namibia he gets off the mark with a boundary on
39:37I think he'll get there gets to very well clear so that's our looking I think
39:44for the tented yorker
39:55falling over falling across the line and the ball dipping in and giving the
40:00seamuck from his fourth wicket
40:03it's been the story of the singing so far
40:07but there is no bat anywhere near and he has been hit with Waseem pitching wicket to wicket
40:18getting it to straighten and with the bat behind the pad I think it was a fairly easy decision
40:23for umpire Orchard so another Namibian batsman goes, Beth Fanshor goes leg before to
40:30Waseem Akram and the Namibians are now 35 to 8
40:36oh that's right in front, that may be out, yes it is
40:40umpire Dave Orchard signals Waseem Akram gets his fifth
40:46Waseem Akram who can't keep the man out of the picture here
40:52once again good full left delivery
40:56captain Dion Kertsey goes across that delivery a little too much and gets wrapped on his pad
41:03head falling over slightly and the umpire having no hesitation in rolling him out
41:09captain perishes and Waseem Akram he picks up his fifth wicket in this innings
41:16another milestone for the great fast bowler
41:19Kertsey he perishes and that's the ninth wicket down for 42
41:24confirmation there just three boundaries three fours struck in this innings
41:30he managed to hit that over Shoaib Akhtar's head but he was
41:36almost in the square leg umpire's way as he backed away from that
41:40Salim Elahi does the fielding under the helmet
41:47three more runs to Fan Firan takes him on to eight
41:51rather ungainly shot by Fan Firan but all the same
41:55that brings the 50
42:00innings Fan Firan virtually predicting the short one
42:04backing away but giving himself room and getting him over the bowler's head
42:09I don't think he wanted to actually bowl him out there Roger I think he wanted to hurt him
42:15there's an effort delivery there
42:19into that one well they go through for the second
42:22could be trouble here but I have a feeling that he's safe
42:25although it's been referred to the third umpire
42:28Neil Malinder has referred it I reckon he was safe
42:33well this pair are not looking to bail out easily
42:36they've frustrated the Pakistanis the last pair
42:40and not afraid to look for their runs as well
42:45throw coming in straight like an arrow but I think the batsman was
42:50was
42:53as he grounded his bat
42:58yes he has
43:00so easy decision there for the third umpire
43:05this last pair has not been really inhibited by the fall of wickets
43:08they've been quite prepared to pick up their runs and look to
43:11try and get this total into some sort of respectability
43:18it's not out the umpire the third umpire rules
43:21after one ball remains
43:32oh no ball but he's bowled the middle stump out of the ground
43:36early call there from Neil Malinder
43:40well he's finally got it dead straight right in the block though
43:44but it's not out
43:47yes he really got that stump uprooted
43:49you could see when one gets that York and you need to strive
43:52a little bit more fore case to get the ball further up
43:56and Shoaib Akhtar just doing that
43:59the batsman was indeed beaten for pace
44:02there was no question that he heard that no ball call
44:07and saw that middle stump uprooted
44:13oh he's played that beautifully he struck that through the cover area
44:16it's not going to go for four
44:19it turned for two
44:22that's the end of the 14th over
44:24Namibia 57 for nine
44:32wasn't the case that's nicely struck
44:35beautiful shot
44:36best of the lot
44:38through the covers against Shoaib Akhtar
44:40Kutze getting into the act
44:43this is not going to please Shoaib Akhtar
44:46that was fiercely
44:49I'll tell you I haven't seen too many boundaries struck off Shoaib Akhtar
44:53in this fashion
44:54there's absolutely nothing wrong with that shot
44:56the timing superb
44:58lovely straight bat coming through the line of the ball
45:00way in front of square
45:05oh nicely played

47:21at number 3
47:22top scorer in the Namibian side
47:24Bjorn Kutze not out on 24
47:26from just 29 deliveries
47:28he batted pretty well together with Rudi van Rooyen

47:31Namibia then reaching 84
47:33in just 17.4 overs
47:35the Pakistani
47:37bowl as well
47:38you're not going to see too many figures
47:39better than that
47:40Vasim Akhram
47:419 overs
47:421 maiden
47:435 for 28
47:44economy rate of 3.11
47:46Shoaib Akhtar

47:55Namibian innings on 84
47:56Vasim Akhram then
47:57the man of the match

48:02things are going well for me
48:03and for Pakistan
48:04shaping up well
48:05for the future game
48:06I think
48:07the team is
48:08getting well together
48:09and everything is going well
48:10to the right direction
48:12for Vasim Akhram
48:13it was the 6th time
48:14he had taken 5 wickets
48:15in a one day international
48:17this very great
48:18left armour
48:19had prolonged his career
48:20to play in the World Cup
48:22and looking at his bowling
48:23and the speed of his
48:24new ball partner
48:25Shoaib Akhtar
48:26there was plenty to suggest
48:27that he might even get
48:28the glorious 6th wicket
48:29or even get
48:30the glorious farewell
48:31he was craving
