Pakistan [320/7] defeat South Africa [292] by 28 runs in the 3rd ODI to win the series 2-1

[Rana]

Pakistan bowling rubbish again

 

[Mainul]

Please tell someone in the field to shut down the microphone of the stumps. This wicket keeper is the most annoying in the whole universe.

 

[Rafa]

They continue to get boundaries.

 

[Rana]

Yes Sarfaraz!

 

[castortroy]

A lot of loose bowling by the spinners

 

[sindhiboy]

Bavuma is probably SA's best player of spin. Maybe that's why they made him captain
He has done pretty well

 

[Snowflake]

Such rubbish bowling performance this has been. So inconsistent in terms of line, everyone either too outside off or way towards the leg. Terrible

 

[Omer2002]

i am sorry to say this is very disappointing. Saffers part time spinners bowled better than this

 

[sindhiboy]

Lol! Nothing wrong with the throw. Babar mucked it up

Oh yea babar was in a bad position.

Looked a bad throw to me at first glance

 

[castortroy]

Dreadful bowling

 

[Rafa]

No stopping boundaries

 

[Markhor]

Well made fifty from Malan.

Too many pressure relieving balls from Pakistan.

 

[imshally81]

Chase is on..

 

[Snowflake]

Bowling absolute tripe

 

[Zeshan547]

I fear those 30 runs we didn't score due to our legendary middle order will be the difference in end result, it's 350 par score pitch.

 

[Rana]

Babar might as well try and bowl a few overs himself

 

[Snowflake]

I fear those 30 runs we didn't score due to our legendary middle order will be the difference in end result, it's 350 par score pitch.

The difference will be these boundary balls in every single over and not cutting down these singles.

 

[PakPremi]

This Malan looks as good as the other Malan.

 

[Rana]

Good over by Nawaz

He is settling in now

 

[Snowflake]

Oh yea babar was in a bad position.

Looked a bad throw to me at first glance

Babar's ground fielding is pretty atrocious tbh. The guy fumbles quite a lot

 

[imshally81]

Good bowling by Qadir

 

[Rana]

Love that delivery, Afridi was a deadly exponent of that quicker googly!

 

[Rana]

Two decent overs for Pakistan again, momentum shifting back in our favour

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

This malan would be next big thing what we have thought about QDK or markram would be

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Fans relax, it is a belter of a pitch, we must bowl good overs and put pressure on SA, 1 wk here and we can be on top here.

 

[Mamoon]

J. Malan is the next Gibbs. Great talent.

 

[guldozer]

I'm looking forward to see Vereynne bat, heard good things about him.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Fakhar should not have thrown it away. But anyway i think we can defend this.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Think the weather is looking to be clear now, no thunderstorms are appearing on the weather report.

 

[Ahmed216]

J. Malan is the next Gibbs. Great talent.

Gibbs was a bit inconsistent though

 

[PakPremi]

Babar's ground fielding is pretty atrocious tbh. The guy fumbles quite a lot

No its not he did some decent stops today, this was a direct throw attempt by Sarfraz at stumps. Nothing Babar could have done.

 

[PakPremi]

Gibbs was a bit inconsistent though

He was overrated.

 

[Rafa]

Another boundary

 

[Rafa]

Pakistan bowling looks toothless here. Allowing SA batters to score easily.

 

[Hasan123]

Bavuma looks injured.

 

[Bewal Express]

MN looks like a club bowler.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Better teams will annihilate our bowling... need to really step up

 

[Zeshan547]

Another boundary

Nawaz the all rounder.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan bowling looks toothless here. Allowing SA batters to score easily.

Its a typical Lahore Pitch mate, yahan achi fielding aur bowling karni pade gi.

 

[Ahmed216]

This pitch has got better n better. Ball was gripping for a good part of 1st innings

 

[shariqnoor]

Malan is a terrific player. Much better than Markram.

 

[PakPremi]

Nawaz no way makes ahead of Shadab in team. This pitch is better for spinners than last two games, and he is still bowling rubbish. Less said about his batting the better. Shame Shadab keep getting injured.

 

[Mainul]

Fahim is the last hope.

 

[Zeshan547]

SA need not to worry as long as Jane Man is on the crease, Janeman out ho ja plz.

 

[King_Kohli]

Pakistan bowling looks toothless here. Allowing SA batters to score easily.

Not bad, RRR is above 7.

 

[Ahmed216]

He was overrated.

He was a likeable character on the field. Flamboyant batsman and a brilliant stylish fielder

 

[Markhor]

Target Bavuma's end with the throws. Visibly hobbling.

 

[Snowflake]

Short and wide filth once again. Pak bowlers really off the boil

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Janeman looks great. How was he not in the first XI?

 

[Mainul]

Nawaz no way makes ahead of Shadab in team. This pitch is better for spinners than last two games, and he is still bowling rubbish. Less said about his batting the better. Shame Shadab keep getting injured.

Shadab is not a good spinner at all. Newaz at least better than him but he is too is not upto the mark. Pakistan should find a better spinner than these two. Imad wasn't doing bad. Why he isn't in the team?

 

[King_Kohli]

Kyle Verreynne and Heinrich Klaasen are only the batsmen left.

Pakistan need to break this partnership.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

I'll have Janeman in my team just for his name

 

[sindhiboy]

So south Africa have a batsman averaging above 80 and one above 100. Not too bad

 

[castortroy]

SA should get this. Nothing in the wicket at all

 

[Hasan123]

Kyle Verreynne and Heinrich Klaasen are only the batsmen left.

Pakistan need to break this partnership.

Maharaj can bat and has done well in domestic cricket with the bat.

 

[Markhor]

Shadab is not a good spinner at all. Newaz at least better than him but he is too is not upto the mark. Pakistan should find a better spinner than these two. Imad wasn't doing bad. Why he isn't in the team?

Check Imad's bowling numbers in ODIs, especially against top teams. He's a second or third spinner at best, not a frontline wicket-taking spinner in ODIs.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Nawaz no way makes ahead of Shadab in team. This pitch is better for spinners than last two games, and he is still bowling rubbish. Less said about his batting the better. Shame Shadab keep getting injured.

If Shadab was here his figures would be 10 overs, 72 runs, 0 wickets, 0 maidens.

His form is terrible.

 

[Mainul]

If Pakistan can't cash on this inexperienced SA , nothing to say

 

[Zeshan547]

Shadab is not a good spinner at all. Newaz at least better than him but he is too is not upto the mark. Pakistan should find a better spinner than these two. Imad wasn't doing bad. Why he isn't in the team?

As per PowerPoint wasim we have Murlis and Warne waiting in wings to replace him.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[shariqnoor]

Bavuma is a complete dud in Test cricket but looks a really good compact player in ODIs.

 

[PakPremi]

He was a likeable character on the field. Flamboyant batsman and a brilliant stylish fielder

I mean certainly not one of the best SA batsman but very good one.

 

[Rana]

Ripper by Nawaz!

The only thing that its missing is the gap between the stumps

 

[Hasan123]

Great ball. Gets a big wicket.

 

[Rafa]

Gone

 

[Mainul]

If Shadab was here his figures would be 10 overs 72 runs 0 wickets, 0 maidens.

His form is terrible.

You are too generous to Shadab. I was thinking about 80runs

 

[Rana]

Big wicket, the form man goes who could have scored a 140* odd in this chase

 

[Zeshan547]

Great ball. Gets a big wicket.

Some saving grace for Misbah at last.

 

[Hasan123]

Kyle Verreynne averages 56 in first class cricket.

 

[shamaan]

Well done nawaz excellent stuff

 

[PakPremi]

Another player Mamoon did not rate has been doing well for Pakistan since his debut in T20s and now in ODIs. Usman Qadir.

 

[Rana]

Youve got to hand it to Sarfaraz, his churp behind the stumps keeps these guys awake and focused in the game!

 

[Zeshan547]

now make them earn every damn run.

 

[imshally81]

Another gone...

 

[Hasan123]

Bavuma gone. Just wasn't the same after his injury.

 

[Rafa]

Gone another

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Fakhar Zaman should bowl here, no point bowling fahim full over here, spinner will get wickets here. This is a difficult phase this is where bowl will spin more. Bring slips in Babar.

 

[Rana]

Nawaz on fire!

I dont know if he should replace Imad but mot definitely a better option than Shadab

 

[PakPremi]

Nawaz proving me wrong.

 

[Bewal Express]

MN looked awfully innocuous and then takes 2.
