ICC World Cup 2023: Heartbreak for Pakistan (270) as South Africa (271/9) win Match 26 by 1 wicket

[rhony]

He will ride the same boat as mark wood...

I guess they both trash now?

And Wood realized it and started smashing the ball himself to appear as an All rounder. Rauf can try the same

 

[oatmeal]

Didnt look like he connected very well

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

SA is ahead right now
Need wicket here plz

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

markram needs to go .... he is actually very dangerous.

 

[rhony]

By 20th or 25th over ball will reverse. Reverse swing bowle should be available then

Even under lights? No dew?

 

[nish_mate]

Watch his strokes playing beautiful ,Why unnecessary trolling and his far better than Babar Azam.

Naah Babars a better bat from what I have seen of Bavuma. Trolling, come on mate more of light ribbing

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SA is ahead right now
Need wicket here plz

We need 2 in the next 5 or the game is finished

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

If markaram get settled here it will be over fot us

 

[Devadwal]

RSA 85/2 (12 over)

 

[Marooned]

And Wood realized it and started smashing the ball himself to appear as an All rounder. Rauf can try the same

Great analysis

 

[ex-q-zit]

Was in a meeting after 1st 2 overs. Pakistan have made a decent enough comeback after the 1st 2 overs went for 30 runs. But no scoreboard pressure on SA. Pakistan needs a couple of quick wickets within the next few overs or its all over for Babar and co.

 

[Marooned]

RSA 85/2 (12 over)

U don't say?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

If markaram get settled here it will be over fot us

We have Imam they have Markram.

Kya selection kya soch hai

 

[rhony]

SA's fortunes turned around with Markram's form in that Aus series. He's a leader of men.

 

[RamLakhan]

It should be a walk in the park for guys like Kohli. But not SA who don't believe in strike rotation.

Absolutely! Kohli is the difference between himself & 9 X 11 or 16 whatever bastmen playing in this tournament! This man just suits this game (ODI particularly) on these pitches! He got his value back as an "ODI" batsman! As you mentioned rotating strike is the crucial part of this particular format! It not only ticks the scoring board (because 1 or 2 runs are more important in ODI compared to T20s where 4 or 6 is needed always!) but also releases the pressure as the bowler has to plan against the other batsman + check the RR in the over (5 to 7 rpo is more than enough at most times)

But the same Kohli is somewhat struggling a bit in T20s... But lets see if he finally makes a match with SKY, Kishan, Tilak, etc (T20 specialists!)

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I hope markram gets out

 

[Devadwal]

U don't say?

What?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SA's fortunes turned around with Markram's form in that Aus series. He's a leader of men.

Yes he should be captain. New Smith.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pathetic captain babar loosing again, why giving to rauf again and again again againnagain

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unbelievable shot. Amazing shot.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yaar ....

 

[JaDed]

Saffers are actually playing bazball and since they don’t have issues against spin they are doing well.

 

[JattMaula]

What a uppercut!

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot by makram for six .

 

[Savak]

Lack of experience of playing in India has also been a big problem. None of the bowlers have been able to figure out the right line length to bowl on Indian pitches.

 

[aukhan]

Rauf

 

[160KPH]

The only thing stopping South Africa is 2-3 wickets in a row.. so many deadly batsmen. That’s a ridiculous shot for 6.

 

[Marooned]

Was in a meeting after 1st 2 overs. Pakistan have made a decent enough comeback after the 1st 2 overs went for 30 runs. But no scoreboard pressure on SA. Pakistan needs a couple of quick wickets within the next few overs or its all over for Babar and co.

Good that you mentioned you were in a meeting

We were all panicking here about your absence

 

[oatmeal]

It should be a walk in the park for guys like Kohli. But not SA who don't believe in strike rotation.

That's a risk for India too, The depth after Kohli hasnt been tested

 

[shah_1]

Makkram is ABD and Kohli level talent, he has massively underachieved.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Pathetic captain babar loosing again, why giving to rauf again and again again againnagain

because thats what he is there for... he needs to perform otherwise who will bowl.

 

[viking2559]

Shot of the tournament from Aiden markram.
What a shot that was....

 

[emranabbas]

Pathetic captain babar loosing again, why giving to rauf again and again again againnagain

Everyone is confused about that some how he keeps getting the ball phainty after phainty

 

[ex-q-zit]

Good ball by Haris but full marks to Markram. Gosh he was in teh air when he made contact with the ball. Tough luck Haris

 

[battler]

Rauf just bowls with pace. Absolute zero brains

 

[7sins]

Lack of experience of playing in India has also been a big problem. None of the bowlers have been able to figure out the right line length to bowl on Indian pitches.

And when you have a bowling coach in morne morkel who wasn't consistent himself

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Markram is better than any batsman we have

 

[Abraham786]

Wow what a shotShot of the tournament, Makram you Beauty

 

[lazy cricketer]

rauf brain dead bowler he think people get scared of this pace...nowdays they are very well used to it...yeah everynow and then pitch might make it look like otherwise but cmon man use brain

 

[Sunzi]

Ridiculous improvisation. What a shot.

 

[160KPH]

Makkram is ABD and Kohli level talent, he has massively underachieved.

Yeah he’s absolutely absurd. The shots he plays are insane.

 

[viking2559]

Haris is not bowling bad today.

 

[castortroy]

What's the point of being quick if your getting smashed everywhere

 

[Ali Active]

He is a fighter classic waqar younis comment

 

[Mainul]

Haris Rauf has conceded so many runs in this world cup!! Who rates him now?? Rather this Pakistani pace bowling is overrated.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rauf just bowls with pace. Absolute zero brains

He has a lot of ego because he can bowl at 150k.

 

[Marooned]

Makkram is ABD and Kohli level talent, he has massively underachieved.

Isn't

He's nothing special

 

[Devadwal]

Lack of experience of playing in India has also been a big problem. None of the bowlers have been able to figure out the right line length to bowl on Indian pitches.

This is another excuse , subcontinent conditions are mostly similar .
If any SENA teams have said that ,than I can understand but not any subcontinent team's

 

[hitthestump]

Kohli ended Rauf’s career.

He has never been the same after those sixes were hit off him.

This WC is adding too many nails in the coffin to ignore.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

CRR 7+
Required 4.85

 

[rhony]

Absolutely! Kohli is the difference between himself & 9 X 11 or 16 whatever bastmen playing in this tournament! This man just suits this game (ODI particularly) on these pitches!

But the same Kohli is somewhat struggling a bit in T20s... But lets see if he finally makes a match with SKY, Kishan, Tilak, etc (T20 specialists!)

The reason Kohli ticks well in ODIs is because of his ability to rotate the stroke on both sides of the wicket. It's unparalleled. He can push the ball in the arc from third man to mid off and then square leg to mid on with so much ease. That doesn't work in T20s anymore.

 

[Mainul]

What's the point of being quick if your getting smashed everywhere

Shoib, Waqar was quick with swing and accuracy. These bowlers have only got pace.

 

[emranabbas]

South africa already ahead of us

 

[ex-q-zit]

That's a risk for India too, The depth after Kohli hasnt been tested

Rahul has a 97 while staying not out in 2 matches, Iyer too has a 50, Jaddu finished the previous match. Who else needs to be tested after Kohli? SKY was unfortunate to be run out.

 

[Sunzi]

How can Rauf survive this. He is getting dismissed like a club bowler.

 

[7sins]

Got to feel for Haris here giving his all bowling over 150s too. It's just they don't have any experience on how to bowl on Indian pitches they have 0 experience all others teams have tons of experience due to Ipl. Pakistan team should have a hired some local Indian coach for the world but they didn't planned this at all

 

[Mainul]

He is a fighter classic waqar younis comment

Who?

 

[boomboomcheema]

Think Pakistan needed 320-330 here now there is hardly any run rate pressure in SA even with QDK getting dismissed.

 

[hafizexpress]

For a person with so much cricketing experience, Waqar sometimes gives the most absurd advice and suggestions

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf is getting phainti in the entire tournaments so far but pace is pace yaar

 

[Champ_Pal]

SA looks too powerful for this feeble Pakistani attack. Only a choke job can save Pakistan from here.

 

[castortroy]

These spinners are so bad

 

[jnaveen1980]

Waqar is hyping Haris Rauf like Malcom Marshall lol

 

[oatmeal]

For a person with so much cricketing experience, Waqar sometimes gives the most absurd advice and suggestions

He's a very poor commentator . I think the Post match analysis is better suited

 

[Devadwal]

Where is Shadab hiding?

 

[Mainul]

Got to feel for Haris here giving his all bowling over 150s too. It's just they don't have any experience on how to bowl on Indian pitches they have 0 experience all others teams have tons of experience due to Ipl. Pakistan team should have a hired some local Indian coach for the world but they didn't planned this at all

Haris is always all over the place . He is so inaccurate. He will get smashed not only in India but all over the world on good pitches

 

[viking2559]

Lol Aiden markram is demolishing them

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

markram needs to go ..

 

[oatmeal]

Nawaz is bowling worse than Shamsi did at first

 

[hitthestump]

Nawaz isn’t slow left arm spin.

He is just slow. That’s all he’s got.

 

[rhony]

Rauf just bowls with pace. Absolute zero brains

He has a decent height too. If Morne was to influence someone in this team for the better, Rauf would be the ideal candidate. Imagine bowling those heavy balls and pacy outside off stump line consistently. He would have been unplayable

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Sorry, but we are 120 short lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Where is Shadab hiding?

I don't think he can come on immediately as he was away for a while

 

[Champ_Pal]

For a person with so much cricketing experience, Waqar sometimes gives the most absurd advice and suggestions

He is not a smart analyst. Too emotional. His lack of English speaking skills does not help his analysis.

 

[emranabbas]

Waqar chatting rubbish as usual

 

[hitthestump]

He has a decent height too. If Morne was to influence someone in this team for the better, Rauf would be the ideal candidate. Imagine bowling those heavy balls and pacy outside off stump line consistently. He would have been unplayable

That is another point - Morne might be the only bowling coach we’ve had more useless than Waqar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nawaz is not a spinner at all. He is more like left arm medium pacer

 

[MMHS]

First task after WC - tear down Mickey Arthur’s Director contract. Either he’ll join the squad for 10 months, or go back to Derbyshire. He is not helping squad in any ways

 

[viking2559]

Babar and friends time's up now.
Bye bye Babar and Babar ke yaaro.

 

[7sins]

SA have the experience and good batting and bowling unit all they need is hold together and don't choke in semi final and final I really think they can win it all this year
