Pakistan (242/7) defeat South Africa (239/9) by 3 wickets in a nail biting encounter to win the 1st ODI

[khyberlion]

naseem is purely playing on pakhtun quota

He should be dropped but let's not bring regions into it. He's averaging 18 with the ball.

 

[mominsaigol]

Fair enough but what’s the need?

The rules are clear, the XI you announce at the toss is your XI. Why are SA even asking for a favour?

No clue, but I wonder if sa would repay the favour?

 

[Rana]

No clue, but I wonder if sa would repay the favour?

I guess they will now if it ever happens

 

[Omer2002]

Ermmm where was a dive rizzy

 

[mango_bite77]

Rizwan 'Learning' there

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizwan misses an easy keeper catch

 

[Ahmed216]

Should have had a slip with the ball reversing a bit

 

[Rana]

Tbf hard catch for Rizwan

He dropped a much easier one earlier

 

[hafizexpress]

Klaasen would have managed to touch that edge. Difference between a tall and short keeper

 

[khyberlion]

Tbf hard catch for Rizwan

He dropped a much easier one earlier

Should have gone for it.

 

[batandballbattle]

Riz caught in cement there, can't give chances like that to don klaasen

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Tbf hard catch for Rizwan

He dropped a much easier one earlier

hard for rizwan only

 

[mango_bite77]

Dumb review

 

[alik]

naseem is purely playing on pakhtun quota

it’s not a quota when they’re literally just better than the other ethnicities lol

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

LOL @ desperate review after letting go of catch by Rizzu boy

 

[hafizexpress]

Man I wish people in my life were as easy to convince as Rizwan

 

[Rana]

hard for rizwan only

Na mate

You got to be fair. It’s like one of those moments when goal keepers are absolutely stuck on their feet against a perfectly hit free kick over the wall

 

[Ahmed216]

LOL @ desperate review after letting go of catch by Rizzu boy

Rizwan dropped one at third man boundary too earlier in the game. It went a bit quickly

 

[stani_pak]

I think maybe after champions trophy or maybe ideally before need to change the pace attack a bit cant keep going with naseem rauf and shaheen

 

[Human786]

just now saw the scorecard , how is the pitch ? 280 par ?

 

[neonoir]

If Pak don't get Klaasen out any time soon he will go berserk in the last 10 and the score will be upwards of 300

 

[adi_62941]

it’s not a quota when they’re literally just better than the other ethnicities lol

Yeah they are better in drama, marketing and PR only

 

[Rana]

Naseem reversing

I guess throwing the ball on the pitch worked for him

 

[mominsaigol]

Man I wish people in my life were as easy to convince as Rizwan

 

[sweep_shot]

SA - 198/5 (38 overs).

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Naseem is one of the most frustrating bowler to ever play the game. More often than not he goes for runs these days. definitely needs to work on his fitness. looks like he had too much biryani this year

 

[emranabbas]

What a drop even the South Africa women are laughing at it

 

[Fazzy321]

Looks like everyone in the team wants Abrar out

 

[Sunny_majoka]

That drop reminded me arshdeep asif Ali drop

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

That is one of the most embarrassing drops I have ever seen. And the crowd reaction just accentuates it even more.

 

[hafizexpress]

Haan aur pehno coloured chashmay

 

[emranabbas]

Powerplay started

 

[Omer2002]

That was expected we have to drop 3 catches a game

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

after this catch drop , I request Admins to close this thread people please stop watching.. OMG

 

[batandballbattle]

Could not have asked for an easier chance, straight down his throat. Every game the same story

 

[adi_62941]

If rizwan has to say “well done” he will speak 100 words. Just a nonsense talkative person.

 

[MMHS]

4 for 129 in 30 middle overs is excellent recovery from PAK, but they lost it in first 10 (70/1) - still can restrict SAF under 260, which is probably realistic chance, anything above 250 should be SAF's game here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a joke

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a shocking drop from Rauf. Catch was easy as it gets and Rauf always takes his catches too. Just took it too easy there.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Could not have asked for an easier chance, straight down his throat. Every game the same story

bruh straight into his hands not even throat

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Rauf has usually safe hands, just took it too easy

 

[Hellion]

I take my hat off to this phasht bowler. Drops the easiest catch ever and then grunts and gives away 10 runs in the next over.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abrar gets Jansen

 

[batandballbattle]

Well at least the drop doesn't count for much. Jansen's scratchy stay comes to an end.

 

[hafizexpress]

Abrar has bowled really well

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Haris Rauf is one who should be celebrating this wicket the most

 

[Human786]

is 270 below par ?

 

[emranabbas]

Would be good if all.out by 250

 

[Hellion]

is 270 below par ?

No, I don't think so. Not at this ground.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Abrar has bowled really well

Best ER among all the bowlers, yet for some reason, everyone wants his head on a spike

 

[emranabbas]

Best ER among all the bowlers, yet for some reason, everyone wants his head on a spike

Yes good ER bowling to tailenders reason why I said you are clueless

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Best ER among all the bowlers, yet for some reason, everyone wants his head on a spike

A specialist wrist spinner should take wickets in the middle overs. He lacks wicket taking threat

 

[hafizexpress]

Salman should bowl out now. These pacers are going to get thrashed

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Even crowd laughing on Haris Rauf's dropped catch

 

[MenInG]

@Rana @emranabbas @khyberlion i and others who intend to post usual nonsense.

You will soon be put on restricted posters list.

Be very careful what you post next

Harris dropped first catch of his int career, took it too easy

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Mate yesterday you didn't even know the difference between a bilateral series and a tri-series. And you're calling me clueless?

 

[Rana]

This track has everything

Spin
Uneven bounce
Reverse

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He is playing his 3rd ODI. Think he should be given a proper chance before everyone gets the knives out.

 

[Ahmed216]

400 is par though

 

[stani_pak]

Abrar gets another wicket

 

[Rana]

400 is par though

Yeah that’s what SA will always go for from ball 1

 

[MenInG]

@Rana @emranabbas @khyberlion i and others who intend to post usual nonsense.

I repeat

This post is not for discussion

 

[Human786]

ok boyz , is 255 below par ?

 

[MMHS]

Today Riz probably missed a trick - no point reserving Aga, rather he should have bowled full quota at one go. Now, either he'll under bowl or risk to bowl against a well set Klassen.

Game is still in balance, though SAF has a total to defend and they won't field like PAK, but couple of big overs by Klassen, would take the game away. 7 Down - PAK must not allow SAF to bat out 50 overs here.

 

[alik]

Does klaasen still go hard now at the bowlers even with wickets going down?

 

[Ahmed216]

Yeah that’s what SA will always go for from ball 1

But a poor attempt as they'll fall well short

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is playing his 3rd ODI. Think he should be given a proper chance before everyone gets the knives out.

Just basing this off of how he bowls rather than his numbers as of now.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

ok boyz , is 255 below par ?

Yes it is

 

[MMHS]

ok boyz , is 255 below par ?

No, though I am not sure if SAF will reach there now. Even 240 can be tough here as SAF fielding will add 10-15 extra runs.

 

[batandballbattle]

poor klaasen getting no support from his mates

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Harris dropped first catch of his int career, took it too easy

Seriously? That's a pretty impressive stat for a Pakistani player

 

[Rana]

poor klaasen getting no support from his mates

Jansen let him down

 

[hafizexpress]

Best ER among all the bowlers, yet for some reason, everyone wants his head on a spike

It's strange. For so long, Pakistan has lacked a specialist spinner in the LO formats and have been functioning with part timers. Now with Abrar not bowling too bad, everybody's saying to just stick with part timers again. I'm not even a huge fan of the guy but give him some time at least. There's no-one in Pakistan right now that's Kuldeep level who would be running rampant against these batsmen

 

[stani_pak]

Wicket maidan by Abrar get stuff

 

[Rana]

Ramiz again clueless

 

[Human786]

Ramiz is very difficult on the ears ...

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

'Seamlessly brilliant?' is that even a word?

 

[Human786]

it is over boyz

 

[stani_pak]

Shaheen strikes no century for Klassen
