Horrible batting, it's going to be hard to keep the roza for me if they don't play the full match.
 
Get Faf out quick and InshAllah, we will chase down whatever the Saffers manage to put together from here on out.

Actually, if Imad and Hafeez are doing this, what will Tahir do?
 
People do not realize but this is all due to very good opening spell by both Amir and Junaid. They never gave any easy runs.

It is not always wickets which matter building pressure also matter a lot and both of them did fine job of that.
 
All SA needs to do is make sure they put 250 on board and Pak will fold for under 200.

The question is, will SA score 250.

This is like Moeen Ali getting Younis and Misbah out in the same match. Only difference is that Imad hasn't gone for a thousand runs before that.

Amla got a bit unlucky, he was playing really well. De Villiers though, was absolutely awful.
 
I can't help but using C word. It is one thing you get out to a peach. But this was a confused shot. He bottled it again. He did the same in the IPL.
 
I believe Imad's been reading PP these past few days :))

Sorry Maddy - YOU THE BOSS !!!! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Nothing. It's not like the ball is doing much. It's good bowling and poor batting
 
Good move with the short leg. Sarfraz doing much better this game already
 
so why is the field spread out? You just took 2 wickets, 2 new batsmen in and you have fielders out to give them easy singles :facepalm:
 
In other news the run rate is only 4.

It's like watching Pakistan bat.


:salute
 
Anywho this is how pal win matches. Reduce teams to below par total do a conventional chase. Having said that SA just needs 250.
 
Faf, Miller, Duminy, Morris. Still a lot of batting to go. Need to take regular wickets restrict them to a par score.

What on earth was Sarfraz trying to do with Imad against India?
 
Hafeez should bowl 2 more overs and then Shadab should be brought on. Imad should bowl out his spell
 
hafeez bowled lara in CB tri series 2004-05 but lara already scored 156 [MENTION=57110]JibranAnsari[/MENTION]
 
Whats with the "C" word?! Have Pakistan won already?!? . . .

The are 3 down only . . . they have got a long batting line up . . and Pakistan is probably the worst chasers ever! Will do well to chase anything over 225 . .
 
This is why it was important to try Hafeez against Dhawan last game.

Lefties can't handle him.
 
Well the question now is has the Cornered Tigers woken up????

Will they now show what they can do or will they like there opponents do, choke and give it away now?
 
Would love to see what Shadab and Hassan have up their sleeves
 
We have S.A on the ropes now, this is where we need to go for the kill!
 
This is how pressure is built, opening bowers bolwed well and there is no Wahab to leak runs and lifting pressure
 
Should bowl spin as long as these till the end.. SA seems confused against spin and we have shadab and malik.. Only bowlthe faster bowler when their batsman are looking comfortable

ABDV's throwaway is why Kohli is a better ODI bat than him. VK might be in terrible form, he was in bad touch on Sunday, but he'll NEVER give away his wicket. He can be counted on fighting it out.

225 is for teams with weak bowling. South Africa has to score just 180 and Pakistan will give up as usual.
 
Both the spinners have bowled well!; nonetheless need to score 235 we will easily
 
what is baffling about last match was they had so many rain delays and yet Hafeez never bowled what was coach doing during rain delays.
 
These don't know how to play spin. Amazing. No way these guys are no 1 team.
 
Graeme smith asking for the impossible, asking for the field in :faceplam:

Come on, don't be a spoil sport, be a good neighbor today :)

Also, if Pakistan beats SA, what does that tell you about the possibility of SA beating India?

Seems like India should load up on spinners. Ashwin in, Bumrah out. Yuvi bowling some overs. Is there any other spinner in the 16?

We are through dude. Crush SL tommorow and we progress ahead.The match against SA is irrelevant unless we lose it very badly. And if we can't win against SL then maybe we don't deserve to win CT.

Regarding other spinner: Kedar has a golden arm.

Yes, a 10 point average difference in World Cups, in favor of the Saffer.

De Villiers can average 50 points more, it is well clear at this point that Kohli is a far bigger player, and will win more games for India.
 
If I was Pakistani cricket fan with dignity I wouldn't celebrate, looks like Hafeez is chucking to me. pathetic

This is awful.

Awful is what we did last game. It's not a bad thing that your guys haven't hit top gear yet. Peaking at the right time is crucial. Let's hope a 400+ score is on the cards for the South Africans' next game.
 
But but sarfraz is way more aggressive than Azhar, where is that aggression when you need that most, still having regulation field set when we have them on mate. Go for the kill, or get ready to be killed later.
 
This is the reason Danda for Pakistani Awam and Cricketers alike is very Important....

Can't Function Without Bambo on head...
 
South Africa has gone numb, only 12 runs during the last 5 overs.
