Pandemonium is what Yusuf Pathan is capable of , if the likes of Morkel and Steyn can create havoc in any kinda batting order, a blitzkrieg is what Pathan posses. 105 in ridiculously 70 deliveries at a strike rate of 150, it was not just hitting, it was brutal power hitting at its best. The bull ring at super sport park was graced by a bull for sure, a raging bull who needs to be feared. Unfortunately, he is becoming the only man to be feared in
Men in Blue.
Pathan and Zaheer had a 100 run partnership but apart from that none could survive longer than 4 overs, Rohit Sharma as a make shift opener has squandered his opportunity at redemption, and Yuvraj continues his extensive poor form with the bat, though his bowling is coming to fore. Raina has looked intimidated, as if every ball he is gonna face would be a short one, lack of confidence evident. And captain cool MSD, never had a luck with toss and when he finally had it, as is the case with any Indian captain ,a dubious decision to field first. As a batsmen this was a tailor made situation for the the no. 6 batsmen. He could have easily paced his innings and could have easily shifted his gears, and with pathan alongside the proteas would'nt have known what hit them, but alas, it was coulds n woulds.........MSD as a batsman is due for a big one for sure.......
