Enzo Maresca coaching both Chelsea and South Africa at the same time.

 

[Rajdeep]

LOL Jansen batting at 7?

SA batting line up is very poor

 

[PakPremi]

Nopes. Have to bowl them out here. Can never contain the run rate at Joburg.

I know I was just taking a mick.

 

[gazza619]

Fantastic from Saim & Riz

 

[MHN1293]

5/6 wins in Aus Sa. Who would have thought

 

[Seen Sheen]

I am keeping a strict eye on this game to keep a check on reverse swing after the claims by Klassen.

Alright.
Somebody gets the message across to the broadcasters to switch off the cameras. Rajdeep is here.

 

[AAli98]

Safraz would have still been yawning brilliant anticipation from keeper

 

[Farabi]

He only for 1 game against Zimbabwe where he was decent with both bat and bowl. He's an excellent fielder too.

The miller assault in that T20 seems to have dented his confidence as he was also dropped after that game.
You have to be very careful and sensitive with how you handle youngsters.
He’s bowling leg stump lines today bachnay kai liyeah.
Someone needs to show compassion and talk to the lad, or his career is on knives edge today.

 

[PakPremi]

They actually have a good ODI batting line up and bat deep.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rizwan slowly solidfying himself as the undisputed Greatest WK Batter for Pakistan

 

[NeVerMind]

Alright.
Somebody gets the message across to the broadcasters to switch off the cameras. Rajdeep is here.

He's got his magnifying out!

Whilst the Aussie media/public are keeping a eye on Burmras elbow.

[PakPremi]

Good keeping by Rizwan as well as captaincy to bowl Siam instead of other part timer to keep mixing it in each match.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Klaasen is the key wicket here

 

[shah9425]

Hahaha

 

[Farabi]

Good keeping by Rizwan as well as captaincy to bowl Siam instead of other part timer to keep mixing it in each match.

Why can’t they both bowl in the same game.
He’s obviously been asked to test Saim today. Should have been given the ball
In previous games

 

[jattafridi]

Omg need klassen wicket

 

[Ahmed216]

Good keeping by Rizwan as well as captaincy to bowl Siam instead of other part timer to keep mixing it in each match.

When there was turn in previous 2 games he bowled Salman.

Today on a truer surface he has bowled Saim.

Different style of bowling employed on a different surface

Basically lol.

Thankfully he's running out of partners

 

[Nasty Naz]

Saim's bowling is a bit like Abrar and he had both Abrar/Salman going anyways so Saim wasn't needed.

I would expect Salman to come on shortly as Sufiyan likely won't bowl with Klaasen on.

 

[ethan hunt]

Hashim talking about that Huge six from Afridi. The biggest he has ever seen at Joburg.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Reason Klaasen has done so well is because Pak lacs Fifth Bowler and he takes advantage. Today Sufyan is our part timer instead of actual bowler

 

[hafizexpress]

Strange to see Riz not using Agha today so far after overusing him in the last game. Expect him to come on soon

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Naseem Bowled a crap over. consistently bowled at pads of Klaasen

 

[ethan hunt]

Kamran Ghulam used to be an allrounder at the juinor level. Wonder how his bowling has come along.

 

[PakPremi]

Both could but in last game SA got the measure of Agha's bowling toward end, so Rizwan trying something different. Also he had Sufyan to bowl but as he is bowling nervously few overs can be bowled from Agha.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Naseem bowling too straight

 

[ethan hunt]

The rain’s making it skid through straight.

 

[Ahmed216]

The rain’s making it skid through straight.

Yes it's too easy atm. No movement off the pitch or in the air and ball coming on to the bat nicely

 

[Savak]

Tayyab Tahir is a huge liability in the field.

 

[jattafridi]

Exciting match

 

[Rajdeep]

Lage Raho Klassen...in you we Bharatiyas trust tonight

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If South Africa win this match then hats off to them.

I don't think they will though.

 

[Snowflake]

Got a bad feeling about this. Klaasen might pull this off

 

[batandballbattle]

Klaasen has been the biggest thorn in our side. As long as he is there it's game on...

 

[Snowflake]

Lage Raho Klassen...in you we Bharatiyas trust tonight

Kyun bhai? Aapka Kia lena dena iss match se?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Klaasen's luck will run out

 

[kingusama92]

Klaasen is capable of chasing this down, especially on this ground.

 

[jattafridi]

Congrats South Africa

Player of the match king klaasen

 

[ethan hunt]

Very hard to stop a rampaging batter at Joburg. Conditions have really eased out.

 

[batandballbattle]

Agha should be given a go

 

[Savak]

Man has Klassen tortured the Pakistani bowlers. They have had zero ideas on how to bowl to him or tie him down.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Yeah I am a bit panicked now. Klaasen in the mood for an all-time knock.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Who will get Klassan

 

[Ahmed216]

The drizzle continues

 

[Snowflake]

There’s no respite. He’s just going all out. Very frustrating this

 

[Mrhandsome]

Man has Klassen tortured the Pakistani bowlers. They have had zero ideas on how to bowl to him or tie him down.Need

Miss Abrar badly today

 

[Mrhandsome]

Shaheen bowling same every ball

 

[batandballbattle]

They continue to bowl short to him...

 

[NeVerMind]

Klaasen doing a Razzaq!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

South Africa really need to rejig their ODI unit.
Jansen is a #8 with the bat. They need maybe Mulder in at #7 and replace both Bavuma and RVD who are both struggling.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Maybe try a slower ball

 

[Farabi]

Miss Abrar badly today

Useless experimentation. Abrar has not even played 10 games. Would have made sense had he played 100

 

[Araash]

Klaasen has literally butchered Pakistan's entire bowling lineup and now taking Shaheen to cleaners with such ease for his second straight over after returning to attack.

 

[Aviator]

Shaheen is giving that vibe of Australia Semifinal...

 

[Rajdeep]

Ugh...what a poor shot to get out man

 

[kingusama92]

Finally.

 

[ethan hunt]

Jinn hai yaar yeh Klassen. Hamain bhi aisa number 7 mil jaye odi main tau scene on hai.

 

[Snowflake]

Eff off crybaby!

 

[batandballbattle]

Shaheen has the last laugh. Whitewash basically confirmed now

 

[Seen Sheen]

Terrible game awareness by Klassen.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a series Klaasen has had.

Oh wow Klaasen finally out as I type this. No idea why he felt that was necessary. They were going so well.

 

[stani_pak]

Bye bye klassen thanks for coming no century today either for you hahaha

 

[Savak]

Lucky Shaheen. Klassen mishit one finally.

 

[jattafridi]

Klaasen gone

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Klaasen's luck will run out

Like I said

 

[Mrhandsome]

Jinn hai yaar yeh Klassen. Hamain bhi aisa number 7 mil jaye odi main tau scene on hai.

We would be unstoppable

 

[Ahmed216]

Klaasen was actually not interested in winning the game.
With rain falling and pitch playing like a belter a more measured approach could have taken them home but he was swinging hard at almost every ball

 

[Savak]

Klassen vs a prime Lance Klusenar

 

[Fazzy321]

South Africa really need to rejig their ODI unit.
Jansen is a #8 with the bat. They need maybe Mulder in at #7 and replace both Bavuma and RVD who are both struggling.

Their number 7 who averages 25 with a strike rate of 105 is still a decent option. whilst we have we Shaheen as number 7

 

[Rana]

Lovely batting by Klaasen

Easily the best keeper+Batsman in the world atm

Maybe the best batsman as well.

 

[Mrhandsome]

South Africa always choke. Why did you need to play that. T20 final they did the same thing

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

South Africa really need to rejig their ODI unit.

Stubbs for RVD and Rickleton for Bavuma. Hendricks could be worth another shot too.

 

[Nasty Naz]

No idea why SA never slow down a bit. There's no extra points for finishing the game much earlier. Same occurred in T20 finals when they were in a great position and had the match down to run a ball for the last 5 overs and still kept trying to hit out sixes.

Klaasen got the game here down to run a ball and all he has to do is rotate the strike and find the occasional boundary and they got the game.

 

[Savak]

Klassen has a natural badtameez look on his face. Pakistani players complained about him that he can't even have a civil conversation without abusing

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Their number 7 who averages 25 with a strike rate of 105 is still a decent option. whilst we have we Shaheen as number 7

Shaheen is not your #7

 

[PakPremi]

Atleast in this inning Klassen was not dropped.

 

[Farabi]

He only for 1 game against Zimbabwe where he was decent with both bat and bowl. He's an excellent fielder too.

Bowling much better lines and lengths now.

He’s a nervous bloke. Needs confidence
