Pakistan (308/9) defeat South Africa (271) by 36 Runs in 3rd ODI to complete historic whitewash in the series

[Blackbradman]

Mphaka should grind in domestic cricket for atleast 2-3 years. He has pace but no control.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

why fortuin is being respected so much? He has bowled short

 

[mominsaigol]

Slog sweep, it returns

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can’t wait to tag all the Saim haters in the Saim Ayub thread once he gets Man of the Series.

Like they say, if you can’t support them at their lowest, stay away when they’re winning.

 

[Ali Active]

Saim is serious player tbh
good thing about him he is not hyping himself

 

[Ahmed216]

Mixing attack with defense. Always looking to play a long knock.

Love you Saim

 

[Nasty Naz]

Saim fully on the charge now.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Saim is pak greatest talent produced by pakistan dare i say better than babar just atg in making this boy class.

 

[gazza619]

i can never understand when assets like Rabada are sliding their way on the boundary line just to save a run in a meaningless ODi. It just simply doesnt make any sense

 

[shaz619]

Is a S/R of 70 for a no.3 batter in 2024/2025 ODI’s acceptable ?

 

[m.shah]

Great batting saim

 

[FearlessRoar]

Century InshaAllah for saim

 

[Aviator]

Only in Pakistan a player like Saim Is called hack or flash in the pan and shafique termed as next sachin or babar azam...

 

[m.shah]

Rizwan needs to hit out

 

[ExpressPacer]

Saim is serious player tbh
good thing about him he is not hyping himself

He comes from a decent background unlike the rest of our paindu cricketers like Babar.

He won’t start thinking he’s God but will nevertheless grow in confidence.

 

[m.shah]

Century InshaAllah for saim

In sha Allah

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

What did I miss?

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim really exposed Babar and rizwan. Far more then Fakhar since fakhar was old + experienced and inconsistent.

People used the hitman excuse for him aka fakhar is rohit but babar and rizwan are kohli.

Well now you have a 22 year old kid shoving you down under. What's the excuse?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should be aiming for 300+ with platform set

 

[ExpressPacer]

Only in Pakistan a player like Saim Is called hack or flash in the pan and shafique termed as next sachin or babar azam...

Pakistani fans are obsessed with fraudsters who like to act mature but play selfishly without taking any chances for the team. Abdullah deserved to be dropped after his abysmal fielding performance in Australia.

 

[mominsaigol]

Is a S/R of 70 for a no.3 batter in 2024/2025 ODI’s acceptable ?

absolutely not.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Saim finding another gap for the boundary. He's been very methodical and smart about his batting yet essentially also playing with relatively risk free.

 

[m.shah]

He comes from a decent background unlike the rest of our paindu cricketers like Babar.

He won’t start thinking he’s God but will nevertheless grow in confidence.

He looks decent, can talk accurately and sensibly rare among pak players

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim is pak greatest talent produced by pakistan dare i say better than babar just atg in making this boy class.

Babar is overrated.

Yousaf, Miandad, Inzi, Saeed on debut were more talented then him.

Fakhar and Haris sohail were more talented as well but were mistreated by pcb.

Rahmat Shah of Afghanistan has strike rate of 69

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rizzu Telling Saim to play single double and Saim cracking it

 

[m.shah]

What a sweep shot

 

[FearlessRoar]

No shots from Saim on mid-on and mid-off during the first two ODIs, but in the 3rd ODI, he has used mid-on and mid-off sensibly and deserves a century here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a perfect ODI batsman.

Even comparisons with Saeed Anwar are not accurate.

I don't ever remember Saeed Anwar playing an inside out drive to s spinner turning the ball into him

 

[mominsaigol]

Rahmat Shah of Afghanistan has strike rate of 69

Rahmat shah is a medicore cricketer. He's played one or 2 good innings but besides gurbaz, From a batting perspective Afg is rubbish.

Gurbaz masks how weak their batting truly is

 

[m.shah]

Missed there

 

[Ali Active]

shot saim

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Saim really exposed Babar and rizwan. Far more then Fakhar since fakhar was old + experienced and inconsistent.

Well now you have a 22 year old kid shoving you down under. What's the excuse?

Bro saim is a atg in making better than babar will surely be pak greatest batsmen thats the talent this boy has.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

sensational flick of the leg

 

[Ali Active]

Rizu be like itni bezati mat karaa thoda ahista khel

 

[m.shah]

Wow what a flick

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Bro saim is a atg in making better than babar will surely be pak greatest batsmen thats the talent this boy has.

That needs consistentcy, there is a long road ahead

 

[Nasty Naz]

6 off Jansen!

 

[saadinxs]

Saim in god-mode. He is Lara-ing it now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Saim into 96*

 

[Deewana Mastana]

300 should be the target

I gotcha

 

[mominsaigol]

Bro saim is a atg in making better than babar will surely be pak greatest batsmen thats the talent this boy has.

Babar was nothing more then marketing hype. Don't get me wrong babar is talented and is good, however Babar was always limited.

Only in Pakistan can an all format player who can't loft, Has a weak backfoot and zero 5th gear be considered the greatest pakistani batsmen of all time.

don't get me wrong Babar is good, but he's nothing more then a Labu level batsmen.

 

[emranabbas]

.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

If Saim can add some muscle it will give him confidence to really attack and his SR can go even higher

 

[emranabbas]

Rizzu Telling Saim to play single double and Saim cracking it

Saim is a na farman Bacha

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Surely Saim can win us 2 ICC trophies in the next 12 years?

Big expectations but guy seems legendary.

 

[emranabbas]

Saim definitely isn't selfish don't see him slow down for milestones like others

 

[gazza619]

If Saim can add some muscle it will give him confidence to really attack and his SR can go even higher

Why change something that is not broken? Saim playing faultlessly at the moment.

 

[Mrjungshook]

As a technical sound batsmen When you don't care for your records , when you are fearless, you are bound to do some crazy stuff for your country that's the respect Allah gives you for being selfless.
As our Prophet mohammad s.a.w has said "Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves."
This thing is not in Babar or Rizwan. They don't work on their weakness they don't want to play for the team and be selfless they care for themselves that's why Saim will insha Allah surpass them at every corner.
Shaheen Naseem also were following them but I feel they are now working on themselves and we can see the results.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Jokes that they initially dropped this kid in T20's and was only brought back after his domination vs Australia.

This is why you back talent. International cricket is an adjustment and players who can play pace like Saim does, has all the shots in the books need to be backed.

 

[mominsaigol]

@ExpressPacer

Bro you have earned my utmost respect. You're an underrated gem on this forumn when it comes to cricketing analysis.

 

[m.shah]

He should keep his head down , stay away from controversies,and keep working hard . Pakistan can't afford to lose such a gifted talent

 

[mominsaigol]

Unpopular opinion but I believe he needed that drop.

Dude failed 25 international games in a row. It was straight after that drop he transformed himself.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Babar & Rizwan hundred loading today.

I am ready @RizwanT20Champ

King and Kaptaana making us proud. Series winning innings by them already in the last ODI from Pakistan's GOATs.

 

[Ali Active]

saim should remain humble and not hype himself like babar and keep working hard

 

[gazza619]

Saim can be our Ganguly. He dont need to be muscular

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan will soon launch like he did in his series winning innings last game @Rana

 

[Mrjungshook]

Saim in god-mode. He is Lara-ing it now

I never understood these
God using terms tbh.

 

[shaz619]

Saim can be our Ganguly. He dont need to be muscular

Ganguly had a 6 pack

Big respect to Aqib Javed for resting Saim in T20s and bringing him into ODIs instead, where he gained confidence in building innings. That eventually helped improve his T20 game as well.

 

[m.shah]

Guys stop Rizbar topic

 

[Nasty Naz]

How many 140 bowlers do SA have? It seems like they have tons of injuries of their bowlers and still every new bower coming up bowls 140+.

 

[mominsaigol]

Also people need to stop hyping saim. Already ganguly, Saeed, Sachin ban chukka hai? Lol

He's good, don't get me wrong but just like jaiswal >>>> Saeed Anwar from Indians is hilarious, So is this.

Saim started his career atm. To surpass saeed this guy would need more centuries, more match winning innings and obviously a better test record since saeed was a better test batter then odi.

I have no doubt saim can reach their but maybe cool it on crowning him ganguly or saeed lol. Abhi sabar, party shuru hoi hai.

But yes technique wise he's >> Saeed.

 

[emranabbas]

Patiently waiting for kamram ghulam

Yes defo need to keep him humble, biggest threat is the environment he is playing in and the way his seniors are

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This should be a cracker

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3rd ODI 100 Saim Ayub

Masha'Allah

 

[stani_pak]

A new king has risen take a bow Saim Ayub

 

[Nasty Naz]

Another century for Saim Ayub! What a start to his ODI career. Sparkling young talent.

 

[kingusama92]

Great innings!

Tremendous prospect.

 

[emranabbas]

Welldone saim

 

[Human786]

3-0

 

[ExpressPacer]

Why is Rizwan trying to steal the limelight by also taking his helmet off? Never seen that before.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Just like your goony uncles you buckle when a little bit of pressure is applied in return, go back to the toilet, it’s where you belong

Awwww King and Kaptaana have hurt this buzdil gang. Classless low level chawal post as expected from your ilk.

 

[Mrjungshook]

Come on saim go for 200.

 

[ExpressPacer]

If Saim can add some muscle it will give him confidence to really attack and his SR can go even higher

Oh bhai just let him play the way he’s playing.

 

[Human786]

205/2

 

[m.shah]

Sparkling century

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thats a big 6.

Rizwan

 

[mominsaigol]

Tbf, good innings from rizzu, he's played better then Babar today
