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

[Hasan123]

The fixer and Fakhar will probably open in T20s. Babar at 3. Not sure Rizwan is a number 4 or 5 in T20s. Hope it doesn't affect his confidence.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

That was out, doesn't have to be hitting leg to be LBW.

 

[PakPremi]

This is the most funniest thing I have read in my life)). Man vowww. I guess I will have to put this in my signature so everyone else can enjoy it too.

I know you do not like him, but if you been following the thread some posters including myself are discussing the tips he gives them and the encouragement.You can have your laughing opportunity if it makes you happy.

 

[Ahmed216]

Thigh is fine. But I would not be giving it out if it hit his stomach. Probably the umpire thought it hit his back leg.

Man LBW means batsman's has blocked the ball from hitting the stumps when he's supposed to use only bat fot that purpose.It could be any part of body. It should actually be called BBW(body before wicket).
Sachin was once given lbw with ball hitting his helmet in australia

 

[shamaan]

when kohli does it i will call it out as well. However kohli gives it the aggression, Babar gives it the excited school child, both need to calm down abit with this "show of emotion"

He should carry on and so should kohli

 

[Titan24]

The fixer and Fakhar will probably open in T20s. Babar at 3. Not sure Rizwan is a number 4 or 5 in T20s. Hope it doesn't affect his confidence.

Would be surprising if Rizwan doesnt open considering his recent performances in T20Is. Will have to see what the management thinks.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

He kept getting promoted in Northern team ahead of Rohail Nazir, and kept failing and wasting balls in the some cup tournament.

Well as a bowler today he's been quite useful and he's been in a bit of form with the ball in t20s as well. Can't say that Wasim's selection of Nawaz hasn't pulled off here.

 

[Hasan123]

Would be surprising if Rizwan doesnt open considering his recent performances in T20Is. Will have to see what the management thinks.

What is the point of selecting Sharjeel to warm the bench? I don't want him anywhere near the team anyway but I'm sure he has been selected to play.

 

[Mamoon]

Sharjeel will not get a game on this tour and rightly so.

 

[Rafa]

Oh God useless Ashraf being bowled don't know why

 

[Hasan123]

Verreynne showing some class. Looks much better than Klassen.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Faheem bowling absolute harmless halwas

 

[Omer2002]

faheem needs to be off we are playing 6 bowlers today i dont understand why he has bowled so many

 

[Titan24]

Babar has captained well in the series but, I think in this little period he has taken a back seat. To become a good team he has to learn to be ruthless as captain. There is no reason to ball Faheem here.

 

[Markhor]

Faheem has shown progress with the bat but he's got to produce more with the ball in all formats.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

What is the point of selecting Sharjeel to warm the bench? I don't want him anywhere near the team anyway but I'm sure he has been selected to play.

Sharjeel can barely move by how fat he is. Will be surprised if he gets off the bench

 

[PakPremi]

I don’t support Qadir based on principle. He is a poor bowler who can only feast on poor players of spin, but even if he became the next Warne, I will not support him.

That does not make sense Warne was good against good players of spin too. Anyway how do you know he will not be half decent against good players? So far he is bowling good lines, bowling with variety, and taking wickets when ever he is bowling. Let's see what will happen in future.

 

[Hasan123]

Qadir on.

 

[Hasan123]

Sharjeel can barely move by how fat he is. Will be surprised if he gets off the bench

I would have not selected him anyway. But why select him if they don't want to use him.

 

[Titan24]

What is the point of selecting Sharjeel to warm the bench? I don't want him anywhere near the team anyway but I'm sure he has been selected to play.

Maybe have Fakhar in the middle against spinners as our middle order has been as mediocre as it gets in recent times with Hafeez being the only one who can on his day create any impact. Fakhar actually debuted for Pak in the middle order in T20Is under Mickey. Just a thought.

 

[Justcrazy]

Qadir will struggle against better batting sides

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah does not want Sharjeel in the team. He was selected by Mr. PowerPoint.

Between Fakhar and Sharjeel, Misbah will always choose Fakhar and that is why he added him to the T20 squad.

Babar wants Sharjeel in the team because of the KK connection, but he is a dummy captain and cannot veto Misbah’s call.

Rizwan will not be demoted down the order after his recent performances as T20 opener.

So Rizwan and Fakhar will open and Babar will bat at 3.

 

[Justcrazy]

A full-strength SA team would have chased this one

 

[Mamoon]

That does not make sense Warne was good against good players of spin too. Anyway how do you know he will not be half decent against good players? So far he is bowling good lines, bowling with variety, and taking wickets when ever he is bowling. Let's see what will happen in future.

My point is that even if he develops into a bowler of Warne’s class, I will not not support him. He has no right to play for Pakistan after the stunt that he pulled off which blew in his face.

 

[PakPremi]

Well as a bowler today he's been quite useful and he's been in a bit of form with the ball in t20s as well. Can't say that Wasim's selection of Nawaz hasn't pulled off here.

Yup agree, some were croticisi g M Wasim for it, he does know what he is doing.

 

[Rana]

South Africa still in this tbf

 

[Rana]

This Phelu guy loves playing against Pakistan just like Chris Woakes!

 

[silentkiller187]

rambo doesnt even care anymore shouting out demands live on tv

 

[Titan24]

A full-strength SA team would have chased this one

Not sure what happened in the first ODI when they could’nt even get 300. A full strength SA team is a mid table team just like Pak as we saw in the first two ODIs. Though SA should have done better at home.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

My point is that even if he develops into a bowler of Warne’s class, I will not not support him. He has no right to play for Pakistan after the stunt that he pulled off which blew in his face.

What did he do

 

[Titan24]

This Phelu guy loves playing against Pakistan just like Chris Woakes!

Yes, bowling all rounders love playing against Pak.

 

[Ahmed216]

Faheem has a had a bad day. Not convinced of his abilities in LOI'S. Does he deserve a place? I think he's not good for balance of team. I would replace with him specialist batsman who can bowl a bit. Someone like saud shakeel or iftikhar ahmed

 

[Omer2002]

Shaheen or Rauf i asked for and we get hasan leaking Ali...I actually would have finished both spinners off

 

[BaankeJi]

Phehlukwayo hits a six off Hassan.

 

[Ahmed216]

Misbah does not want Sharjeel in the team. He was selected by Mr. PowerPoint.

Between Fakhar and Sharjeel, Misbah will always choose Fakhar and that is why he added him to the T20 squad.

Babar wants Sharjeel in the team because of the KK connection, but he is a dummy captain and cannot veto Misbah’s call.

Rizwan will not be demoted down the order after his recent performances as T20 opener.

So Rizwan and Fakhar will open and Babar will bat at 3.

Mr powerpoint. That's mean

 

[Rafa]

This partnership 37 in 33 balls.

 

[PakPremi]

Qadir will struggle against better batting sides

He is only starting his international career and is very young. Why you think he would not improve. Already he is not doing much wrong and taki g wickets.

 

[sindhiboy]

A battling order of Quinton, markram, janneman, rassie and an in form Miller is pretty good.

So not all is bad for SA.

They just need a good all rounder like Morris or Mulder

 

[Hasan123]

Maybe have Fakhar in the middle against spinners as our middle order has been as mediocre as it gets in recent times with Hafeez being the only one who can on his day create any impact. Fakhar actually debuted for Pak in the middle order in T20Is under Mickey. Just a thought.

Fakhar batting in the middle in an outside of the box move our management won't try.

 

[shariqnoor]

If Pakistan allows SA to make a match out of this situation, these players deserve some rollicking.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is too high for SA to chase here

 

[PakPremi]

My point is that even if he develops into a bowler of Warne’s class, I will not not support him. He has no right to play for Pakistan after the stunt that he pulled off which blew in his face.

So the hate is for non sporting matters.

 

[Hasan123]

Too many dots from Phehlukwayo.

 

[angrypathan]

Maybe it's time for Sarfraz to have a few choice words to Phehlukwayo

 

[PakPremi]

Mr powerpoint. That's mean

so called Mr Power Point has got most selections spot on at home and away series. Sharjeel deserves to be in the squad atleast. It does not matter if he may not play any match in this tour, he is a fine batsman and can replace any opener who is not delivering when required.

 

[Mamoon]

What did he do

He threw a tantrum when he was getting picked in domestic teams even though his performances were rubbish. He thought his father’s name would be enough to get picked but that wasn’t the case.

He played the victim-card and thumped his chest over his ambition to represent Australia. When he arrived in Australia, his bowling was so rubbish that they kicked him out of the country.

He returned to Pakistan with egg on his face and a brutal reality-check.

The only reason he got picked for Pakistan recently because he is best friends with Babar, who probably begged Misbah on his behalf.

As a result, I refuse to support him.

 

[angrypathan]

Good over.
Edit: Never mind, no ball

 

[Titan24]

Not the best days for Hassan with ball. ODI was the format where he struggled before getting injured, a few good performances can help with his confidence.

 

[naseem]

A battling order of Quinton, markram, janneman, rassie and an in form Miller is pretty good.

So not all is bad for SA.

They just need a good all rounder like Morris or Mulder

M impressed with Linde too

 

[Rafa]

8 balls over .

 

[Justcrazy]

He is only starting his international career and is very young. Why you think he would not improve. Already he is not doing much wrong and taki g wickets.

He is young ) he is almost 28 years !!

 

[sindhiboy]

Pakistans fielding has been very good this series

 

[PakPremi]

He is young ) he is almost 28 years !!

Not 32, he is spin bowler not fast bowler.

 

[Hasan123]

Kyle Verreynne seems in the Van Der Dussen molde. Is so composed.

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX big hit , a few more hits here would spice up the game .

 

[Saj]

One garbage delivery an over from Usman Qadir.

Smashed for 6.

 

[Justcrazy]

Not 32, he is spin bowler not fast bowler.

Age is age , its not about the skill sets , Qadir does not flight the ball much , does not have any variations , he would be humiliated against better teams.

 

[Ozeirk]

I see Pakistan relaxing a bit here. These are the sort of situations that differentiate good teams from average ones.

 

[Sunzi]

The door is ajar here for a good finish to the game; these two will need to take it deep for that that happen though.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Rauf bowling too short again.

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] thoughts on Kyle Verreynne? Seems similar to Van Der Dussen.

 

[IMMY69]

Short and wide pies from Rauf

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Yup agree, some were croticisi g M Wasim for it, he does know what he is doing.

Yep, one thing that i researched last night as a hobby was the mystery exclusion of Usman Salhuddin and the problem regarding his SR, his SR in first class is in the early 40s which is why he wasn't included despite his good run with the bat this season gone.

Said it once and said it again Wasim is doing a bang up job.

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up for SA here

 

[Ahmed216]

We've been poor in death throughout this series. Need to keep it tight

 

[Rafa]

What is going on.

 

[Omer2002]

As i said this will be close absolutely belter of a wicket need a wicket desperately...

 

[Rafa]

From 140-5, SA is being allowed to come back into the match.

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully Shaheen gets a wicket.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan bowling full tosses, no balls very casually

 

[Justcrazy]

Shaheen bowling well here

 

[Shoaibbtt]

1 wicket needed and we'll take this, need the wicket of Kyle

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Poor bowling so far

 

[Hasan123]

Looks like they wanna take it deep.

 

[Markhor]

Age is age , its not about the skill sets , Qadir does not flight the ball much , does not have any variations , he would be humiliated against better teams.

Qadir has variations, the two issues going forward is controlling his lengths as there seems to be one loose delivery an over, and ensuring he can always fall back on his stock ball.

He'll enjoy a honeymoon period just like Shadab as batsmen are still learning about him. The challenge will be what he does after, and that's why his stock ball is important.

 

[Bewal Express]

Spinners will bowl bad bowls its just like any bowlers do.

Nothing to do with bad balls. At that point he hadn't bowled rubbish. I was talking about his action and lack of spin. Surely we have better finger spinners than this guy.

 

[Justcrazy]

109 from 12 overs

 

[Rafa]

Thanks to Babar for taking it easy and giving overs to Faheem when game was settled at 140-5. A couple of boundaries and Batsmen get a start.

 

[PakPremi]

Match looks to be heading for exciting twist. Pak always entertaining lol.

One lose delivery? More like 2 or 3. Decent players would easily take him for 60 in 6 every time.
