ICC CT 2017 | Pakistan v South Africa | 7th June, 2017 | Birmingham | South Africa innings

[Arsal_AK]

Sarfraz is such a mediocre captain. Okay, the two did their job. Now for the love of God, get your better bowlers own and try to finish the game.

 

[sadida97]

Bhai Shadab ko laga de

sarfaraz told shadab to warm up a couple of overs ago...

 

[Crafty_Indian]

This has been a much better show from the Pak boys. But they shouldn't get delirious yet and try and finish SA for a paltry score so that they themselves can chase that down.

It will then be nice coz India can then do the giant killing from the group stage itself.

 

[aniket1911]

It doesn't matter if prof chucks or not, that is for umpires to decide. If he win match for his team then it doesn't matter either way.

 

[Bilal7]

Best part is since Saffers have played so slow if rain effects this game D/L will be constantly in Pak's favour.

We need to win a game on our own to build back our confidence. InshAllah, we will win this game, Sri Lanka will either win or draw the game tomorrow, and South Africa and Pakistan win their final games. India knocked out, Pakistan advance.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

india will crush this SA batting line with ashwin,yuvi,jadeja

same pitch?

 

[Zeshan547]

Have you ever seen a successful shezzy dive?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shehzad Misfields again

Bahir Karo Issay !!!

 

[Rayyman]

Change bowling please

 

[Red Devil]

Probably sticking with Hafeez because of Miller.

 

[CricVet]

Time to bring Shadab.

 

[IMMY69]

FGS change the bowling Safaraz

 

[CricFan2012]

ICC should hire you to test all actions. Why waste money on biomechanical testing when you can just tell who's chucking watching on TV. )

Dude, people who have been banned for chucking even after remodelling their actions have chucked again, look at some of the deliveries from Narine, Ajmal, and Hafeez after their new action, they still chuck.

ICC can't stop a match midway, it looks like they're bowling hafeez now because they need to win this match to qualify for semis.

 

[Mamoon]

Why bring T20 World Cups into this? Which ODI KO match has Kohli won for his team? I know which one he lost. 1(13).

I'm talking about his tendency to wilt under pressure in general, not just ODIs. Nonetheless, we have the Champions Trophy 2013 final. That innings had more substance than most of de Villiers' heroics. It doesn't matter if it was a rain-shortened match, the pressure does not change.

Kohli over de Villiers in every format.

 

[aniket1911]

This has been a much better show from the Pak boys. But they shouldn't get delirious yet and try and finish SA for a paltry score so that they themselves can chase that down.

It will then be nice coz India can then do the giant killing from the group stage itself.

I am not sure, SA doesn't fail in two games in a row.

 

[NauV]

This is the problem with Sarfaraz, or any other Pakistani captain for that matter . . they just let the game drift . . JP Duminy is for sure not a good player against off spin and will struggle against Hafeez . . He has done his job . . get Shadab in . . Change it up! Don't just look to defend . .

 

[Rayyman]

Good captaincy by Sarfraz today

 

[aloo paratha]

Need to change the bowling, get a double change, bring on Hasan and shadab.

 

[Syed1]

Probably sticking with Hafeez because of Miller.

Faf is the bigger wicket. Shady will threaten him big deal

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

If Pakistan wins today it will really open up the group. Three sides would have one win each.

Problem for Pakistan is their NRR has taken a huge hit after the loss to India. They'll have to hope some of the other matches in the group are washed out in order for them to go through.

 

[sshakir411]

Have you ever seen a successful shezzy dive?

never seen a successful anything with Shezy

 

[Bilal7]

Hafeez continues. Bafffling. Appalling captaincy.

Economy below 5, picked up a wicket and a left-hander at the crease. You arm-chair experts need to relax and let the professional players do their thing.

 

[Pete Rose]

Critical phase of the game: Rameez back in the commentary seat

 

[cricketInsight]

5 RPO in last 5 overs. Need to pull it back or get a wicket!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gone

 

[Zeshan547]

Shadab should be brought on from other end, big bonus.

 

[imshally81]

 

[aniket1911]

) faf gone

 

[Syed1]

He puts on Hasan

 

[Titan24]

Hassan the rockstar

 

[NauV]

and there you go!! Change it up . . get a wicket!

 

[angrypathan]

big big wicket

 

[Syed1]

Damn Hasan Ali

 

[imshally81]

5 RPO in last 5 overs. Need to pull it back or get a wicket!

Ok Boss

 

[akamaka]

 

[Rayyman]

Yeeaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pakistan on

 

[The Yorker]

gone another one bites the dust

 

[Commander]

Hasan you beauty

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan Ali strikes!!! Massive, massive wicket there.

 

[Titan24]

This is what pressure does. No offence to Wahab but we cant afford to have him in ODIs.

 

[crick23]

Another one!

 

[Abdul]

Hasan you beauty.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wow!

 

[Markhor]

Sarfraz changes the bowling and a wicket. Can you stop crying now ?

 

[Arsal_AK]

There you go, Hassan.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Another pld

 

[daytrader]

Big wicket this!

 

[Saeed]

, Pak should get them all out before 200.

 

[troodon]

Played on.

Gone!!!!!!

Nothing going SA way.

 

[Syed1]

I'm missing phasssstttt Wahab and I'm sure the Saffers and [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION] are too.

 

[SameerK]

Good bye Faf

 

[aniket1911]

Sarfaraz will be best captain ever from worst captain ever in a couple of hours.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

We need to win a game on our own to build back our confidence. InshAllah, we will win this game, Sri Lanka will either win or draw the game tomorrow, and South Africa and Pakistan win their final games. India knocked out, Pakistan advance.

Brother although you come across as a rational poster. It feels that you have a chip on your shoulder with anything related to India and that's where your better reasoning deserts you and you look like a complete noob spouting some idiotic crap.

 

[zn426]

Bam! SA in trouble here. Now another batman has to come in. Need to get Miller out quickly too.

 

[Mamoon]

Hey, look at SA's W/L ratio. They are a world class team.

 

[Bilal7]

The scrawny guy gets the better of the buffed man. There is a Bollywood story in here somewhere.

 

[shah_1]

Well Hasan Ali

 

[Rayyman]

Sarfraz changes the bowling and a wicket. Can you stop crying now ?

[MENTION=57576]MRSN[/MENTION] will keep crying until his favorite Umar Akmal is recalled.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need 1 more quick one to totally finish saffer of

 

[CricVet]

JP Duminy has always been the pain in Pak neck. We get him, we got the game and hopefully surpass in NRR.

 

[SandyB]

So these bowlers were keeping their brains in the kit bag for the entire India match? )

 

[jusarrived]

Should bring spinners on both ends , these two are very suspect early in their innings

 

[angrypathan]

Malik not having a good day with run outs, although that one he was safe

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

South Africa will score a maximum of 150 it seems

 

[timeflies]

Are there any bigger chokers in world sport than the South African cricket team?

 

[Zak_Fan]

Saffas choking

 

[super hitter]

I wonder whats next?

 

[Rayyman]

Should bring spinners on both ends , these two are very suspect early in their innings

Hafeez could be an option vs Duminy

 

[Titan24]

Hassan going upto 141 Kph

 

[Crafty_Indian]

I am not sure, SA doesn't fail in two games in a row.

You might be right but then if India bats first it will play like a quarterfinal for them and they could choke as is their won't in ICC tourneys.

 

[Bilal7]

Brother although you come across as a rational poster. It feels that you have a chip on your shoulder with anything related to India and that's where your better reasoning deserts you and you look like a complete noob spouting some idiotic crap.

I fail to see where reasoning comes into this. I was laying out a situation where Pakistan advances from the group but India does not. If this offends you, I am not at all sorry.

 

[castortroy]

Remember anything over 200 will be enough

 

[Syed1]

Are there any bigger chokers in world sport than the South African cricket team?

I think in recent years BD have choked more than the Saffers.

 

[super hitter]

Malik not having a good day with run outs, although that one he was safe

pakistan is bowling bro!

 

[dhurandharj]

Bravo Pakistan !! Wonder (and happy) what happens to them against us

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Is Imad really bowling unplayable balls or South Africa's choking is making him look like murali

 

[Bilal7]

Bring on Malik from the other end!

 

[ExpressPacer]

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] 6 overs, 13 runs and 2 wickets. Talk nah.

 

[Smbhayi]

Best chance to Amla to score a double hundred. bad fielding & average bowling, he won't get better chance than this. all the best

look like my comment might fired up them :AAG:

 

[imshally81]

Stop these singles...
