Pakistan [189/6] beat South Africa [188/6] by 4 wickets in 1st T20I

[Greenstorm]

Not in our hands and Rizwan won't be dropped anytime soon.

So the only way to balance this equation is by allowing him to open with Sharjeel.

Then you got Fakhar coming who is strong against spin. Babar to anchor the innings and Hafeez to finish it with the allrounders.

You are dropping Haider for accumulators like Babar and Rizwan. Not wise at all.

 

[Sunzi]

Ooooft couple of bangers here from Haider.

 

[Rana]

The Sledge Hammer!!!

 

[ex-q-zit]

Lol what a pathetic celebration from Shamsi.

I didn't watch it. What did he do?

 

[ha5is12]

Toothless ready to bring the win home today

 

[Rana]

Bit he played much faster than babar does usually. Why the double standards?

Why are all Indian fans anti Babar and Pro Rizwan??

 

[Sunzi]

And again! Good counter-attacking cricket from Haider.

 

[Justcrazy]

Haider has big opportunity here

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Which channel is showing it in India? Star Sports 1 showed the ODI series but now they are showing Pyjama League matches.

 

[NeVerMind]

Haider doing the right thing...smashing it every ball...no point leaving it too late

 

[Rana]

Haider Ali is Badtameez for sure!

 

[zacattakk]

What happened to Haidar's tooth?

 

[Greenstorm]

Rizwan playing a match losing knock here.

 

[Shams123]

We all know haider is a young kid Ramiz!

 

[Abdulm123]

Rizwan and Ali are going to chase this down with ease, 7 wicket win on the cards

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

You are dropping Haider for accumulators like Babar and Rizwan. Not wise at all.

Haider would be batting at 6.

But with Rizwan opening and scoring runs we got some luxury issues. Misbah/Babar won't remove Rizwan from the opening slot now. So you got to look at another solution.

 

[adzzy786]

Haider Ali is fearless and I like that about him

 

[Shams123]

Rizwan playing a match losing knock here.

Dont worry. He will win this for sure.

 

[Abdulm123]

Rizwan playing a match losing knock here.

I was never much impressed with Rizwan but anyone is better than Sarfaraz batting and keeping

 

[Ahmed216]

Haider ali managed to resist the mid wicket slog for 6 balls

 

[imshally81]

Out?

 

[Rana]

How was that out?

 

[Shams123]

Thats not out.

 

[Sunzi]

Damn, that is going to be a very soft and disappointing dismissal. Nothing ball

 

[Shams123]

Nah thats out

 

[castortroy]

Haider is trash. Another overhyped player

 

[imshally81]

All red... Out
Amazing

 

[Mamoon]

How was that out?

Thats not out.

Latest additions to ICC elite panel of umpires.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need to watch the ball on to ur bat Haider.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why does Haider Ali always get out the same way? Always that leg stump line.

 

[Rana]

What a ridiculous way to get out

Misbah’s mediocrity is destroying our destructive players!!

 

[ha5is12]

Just lost the game boys

 

[NeVerMind]

Getting out to a full toss...hope he learns from this

 

[Shams123]

Haider is trash. Another overhyped player

Nah he is the real deal. Gotta back him.

 

[Snowflake]

What in the world was Haider doing???

 

[Greenstorm]

Dont worry. He will win this for sure.

I doubt it.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Haider perishes

 

[Shams123]

Latest additions to ICC elite panel of umpires.

Humbled!

 

[Omer Baloch]

Should've been hassan

 

[Mesozoic]

What a halwa ball to get out.

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz gone too

 

[MesonK]

Rizwan is twice more the batsman and WK, the fat pant is.

Rizwan > Pant as simple as that

 

[Greenstorm]

Only Hassan can win this from here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Nawaz gone as well...so useless with the bat

 

[castortroy]

Another top heavy batting line up with a pathetic middle order

 

[Shams123]

Akram, is that you?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Nawaz wasnt out. This is a joke

 

[Sunzi]

And Nawaz! Balance tipping in favour of the Proteas

 

[Abdulm123]

What a ridiculous way to get out

Misbah’s mediocrity is destroying our destructive players!!

I have noticed ever since Misbah has been the coach of Pakistan, pakpassion and these match day threads seem more dead then they were in the pre misbah days. Misbah ul Haq really drove away Pakistan cricket fans with his pathetic coaching and style.

 

[Rana]

‘Underrated’ Nawaz out

 

[Markhor]

Haider has had his tooth removed?

A toothless runchase from Pakistan in general. Allowed RRR to climb too high.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Babar responsible for this loss.

 

[Mamoon]

We deserve this humiliation.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Phehlu the mediocre may have lost the match in the previous over.

 

[har9900]

Its over. Saffas win! Great comeback from this third string south african attack!

 

[Gullycricket]

And Imad can't replace Nawaz as per Mr powerpoint

 

[Ozeirk]

He shouldn't have fiddled with the openers. That's costing Pakistan.

 

[Markhor]

Nawaz ? Send Faheem or Hasan you idiots.

Yet another failure with bat from Nawaz who's meant to be an AR.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Nawaz poor poor shot

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan is twice more the batsman and WK, the fat pant is.

Rizwan > Pant as simple as that

[Mesozoic]

Well atleast this guy didn't waste any balls.

 

[Rana]

Faheem be like

Abhi hum Zinda hain

 

[Ozeirk]

We deserve this humiliation.

Not every defeat is humiliation.

 

[har9900]

We deserve this humiliation.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] - who is responsible for the humiliation?

 

[Shams123]

Phehlu the mediocre may have lost the match in the previous over.

Sa plays with 10 players whenever he is in the playing XI

 

[TheNightWatchman]

He shouldn't have fiddled with the openers. That's costing Pakistan.

The openers are completely fine. Just poor batting

 

[Mamoon]

Not every defeat is humiliation.

Defeat to South Africa D is extremely humiliating.

 

[Rana]

Come on Rizwan you have been in at the crease for 40 balls now

See it off for us

 

[Abdulm123]

Nawaz, just stick to bowling

 

[Justcrazy]

Match slipping away from Pakistan grip

 

[shariqnoor]

What a ridiculous way to get out

Misbah’s mediocrity is destroying our destructive players!!

Misbah really lives rent free in your head.

Haider misses a full toss but it's not his fault. It's the fault of the coach. Brilliant.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

It's a good thing Nawaz got out. He is an accumulator and would have wasted deliveries.

Faheem and Hassan are needed.

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz wasnt out. This is a joke

We are watching SA vs Pak LIVE at Johannesburg

 

[Shams123]

Rizwan has a great platform to be a hero here. Can cement his place completely.

 

[Ozeirk]

Defeat to South Africa D is extremely humiliating.

Lol talk about exaggeration. No, this is South Africa Z

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] - who is responsible for the humiliation?

Our lack of talent.

 

[Yk313]

Nawaz, just stick to bowling

Unfortunately that’s what has brought him into the team which is fair. What is not quite so fair is that the person he is replacing may be a slightly poorer bowler but a much better batsman.

 

[sindhiboy]

Haider lost a tooth?

Yea
He was having a toothache the whole tour.

 

[Mesozoic]

Rizwan has put himself right in the firing line...
