Pakistan (329) defeat South Africa (248) by 81 runs to clinch the 3-match ODI series by an unassailable lead of 2-0

[Omer2002]

What a six.

Now imagine...markham..miller...klassen and de bluss etc hitting

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bloody good batting from KG.

Hopefully panoti Ramiz doesn't get him out.

 

[stani_pak]

Another SIXX by KG

 

[mango_bite77]

KG with bang bang back to back.

 

[Rana]

He also watched saeed Anwar batting and determined that saeed only bashed minnows.

Courtney Walsh is a minnow

I’m sure he’s also seen Kapil Dev help India win the 1983 World Cup

 

[Fazzy321]

Kamran Ghulam making a case for CT . If that’s how he hit and not do dumb stuff he will do wonders in middle order

 

[adi_62941]

KG all the way. Why cant he bat up the order.

 

[Devadwal]

That's six remind me of Pant .

 

[angrypathan]

Bowling spin to KG and Salman is poor captaincy to be fair

 

[TeymurBlake]

Ramiz & Hays acting like doosti yaari for the old days.

 

[PakPremi]

Or we could have won if others were given time to settle in and play proper innings rather than coming in and going all out because rizwan and babar ate all the balls

I would rather go for a win than laying good platform and going close

Seem Agha and KG do not agree, they doing fine, all because they came in when Pakistan were not under pressure.

 

[Mrjungshook]

Meanwhile our main Stricker is trying to give strike to kg.

 

[Omer2002]

What a drop my days how bad is this irfan

 

[Dantheone]

Ball just sitting up to be hit.. Bad sign for spinners. Miller will be greatly interested.

 

[Human786]

257/5 - 4 to go -game over

 

[Ali T]

Kamran Ghulam should be batting at 4 and maybe Riz should open if Fakhar is not there. Don't think this would ever happen though.

 

[Rana]

KG all the way. Why cant he bat up the order.

Because Rizwan Lara has to bat at 4 with Babar Ponting at 3

 

[mominsaigol]

I’m sure he’s also seen Kapil Dev help India win the 1983 World Cup

Why stop their? He's been watching since the 1800's, back when cricket was called gilly danda.

 

[Asad T]

Yeah and get out early and total score less than 200.

I don't think it's as simple as that. The issue is that you cannot have 2 anchors eating up so many balls in the middle. Cricket has evolved since then as we will never win touraments with those 1990's era tactics.

 

[emranabbas]

Seem Agha and KG do not agree, they doing fine, all because they came in when Pakistan were not under pressure.

Agha is gone thanks to rizwan and babar he had to play risk shots

 

[Alter_Ego]

Irfan is no better than Chacha in batting

 

[Rana]

Why stop their? He's been watching since the 1800's, back when cricket was called gilly danda.

He may well have played cricket with WG Grace

 

[Sunny_majoka]

I'm not totally impressed by the irfan khan

 

[Asad T]

I want to see how KG goes against the pacers
was great agaisnt the spinners

 

[FearlessRoar]

He is playing fearless cricket. Rate this one-handed six in the 2nd ODI against South Africa.

 

[Rana]

Misbah’s nephew lol

 

[TeymurBlake]

Irfan needs to get Kamran on strike as much as he can.

Irfan is not understanding this pitch.

 

[mominsaigol]

He may well have played cricket with WG Grace

Current batting coach of Rizwan, Babar and saim.

Mamoon academy

 

[Farabi]

Agreed. 280 will be a good total here. Also, in D/N games, highest successful chase here is 258 and only 9 out of 33 D/N games have been won by chasing side.

PAK would have bowled very poorly to lose this.

Yes. Folks on here think every game is played on exact same pitch. I think that India 2018 game Peak Kohli went berserk scoring 150+ India played 303 and won by 124 runs. Pakistan will have to bowl terrible to lose this game.

 

[Dantheone]

I don't think it's as simple as that. The issue is that you cannot have 2 anchors eating up so many balls in the middle. Cricket has evolved since then as we will never win touraments with those 1990's era tactics.

I agree it has evolved but the game still needs thinking of construction of an innings.
Yes both were slower than the current top international batters but that's what we have.

 

[PakPremi]

Yeah and get out early and total score less than 200.

Absolutely, Pakistan do not have World class middle order and 3 quick wickets including Siam would had been coffin.

 

[Omer2002]

Sitting duck is gulam against any pacer

 

[Mrjungshook]

Misbah’s nephew lol

Who
Irfan??

 

[Ali Active]

Kamran ghulam is actually suprising me

 

[angrypathan]

I want to see how KG goes against the pacers
was great agaisnt the spinners

Did hit Phehlukwayo for a six earlier, don’t think he’d be as comfortable against Jansen or Rabada if he was playing

 

[Rana]

Who
Irfan??

He’s from the same clan

 

[mominsaigol]

Misbah’s nephew lol

I have the comment of when @Major wanted Niazi to replace Saim

 

[Mrjungshook]

Sitting duck is gulam against any pacer

say that again?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This has been some innings from KG

 

[kingusama92]

What an innings from Ghulam. Smashing it around.

 

[angrypathan]

Did hit Phehlukwayo for a six earlier, don’t think he’d be as comfortable against Jansen or Rabada if he was playing

Nevermind

 

[Dantheone]

KG scoring over 200 SR

 

[Mrjungshook]

I have the comment of when @Major wanted Niazi to replace Saim

@Major is also from the same clan.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

I repeat 400 plus wicket we lost the match when we lost toss and batted first

I doubt if Pakistan can go past 300 then it is anybody's game.

 

[Rana]

Kamran ghulam is actually suprising me

Not me

It’s just giving SA encouragement

 

[stani_pak]

5 overs left will be interesting to see what Pak finish up with

 

[Savak]

If Pakistan is getting 300 on this wicket, it must be a 360 plus wicket. Watch the South African's chase this in 35 overs.

 

[angrypathan]

As far as South African pitches go, doesn’t seem to be as much bounce on this wicket

 

[emranabbas]

Absolutely, Pakistan do not have World class middle order and 3 quick wickets including Siam would had been coffin.

Thank you for admitting if one of rizwan and babar played agressivly they would have lost a wicket

Absolutely rubbish players who can't play modern day cricket

 

[Rana]

I have the comment of when @Major wanted Niazi to replace Saim

Oh balle

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ghulam what a knock so far

Masha'Allah

 

[TeymurBlake]

What a shot.

 

[Rana]

Ramiz very upset with this knock by KG

 

[Omer2002]

If Pakistan is getting 300 on this wicket, it must be a 360 plus wicket. Watch the South African's chase this in 35 overs.

I agree

 

[boomboomcheema]

What is th hack Irfan doing, single handedly killing all the momentum that is being built by Kamran.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

GHULAM ON FIRE!!! IS IRFAN KHAN GOING TO DO ANYTHING????????

 

[mango_bite77]

Excellent cameo by KG

 

[Marooned]

Clear, Ghulam is one batsman who must be given a long run in both tests and odis.

He looks like budget tendulkar

 

[adi_62941]

Imagine this guy was kept outside from ODI team for good 3 years.

 

[Ali Active]

he actualy has some power though

Not me

It’s just giving SA encouragement

hopefully not just the pitch when pak players middle like this surely it got to be 400 pitch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What's Irfan doing lol

 

[angrypathan]

Didn’t actually think KG had this gear to his batting. I really hope they keep him away from T20s though for the time being, would much rather he establish himself in Tests and ODIs

 

[emranabbas]

Hope this lifts kamrans confidence and we see more from him

 

[Asad T]

4 (11) is criminal at this stage of the game loll

 

[mominsaigol]

KG showing how you bat on a belter.

KG and Saud shpuld be pak's new no 3 and 4 going forward

 

[kingusama92]

Irfan is selected for this role. He has to do better than this.

 

[Kroll]

Shows how things can improve if you play proper batsmen rather than bits n pieces like Ifti and Shadab.

 

[Ali Active]

shott ghulammmm kg has suprised me

 

[Rana]

stand up and clap that knock everyone!

 

[TeymurBlake]

OH MY DAYSSSS.

SLOG SWEEP FOR SIX.

 

[Marooned]

Didn’t actually think KG had this gear to his batting. I really hope they keep him away from T20s though for the time being, would much rather he establish himself in Tests and ODIs

Before his text exploits in qea, he played a few such explosive knocks for pak A.

 

[zarak]

this must be a 350 wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 off 25

KG

Masha'Allah

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

CHAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - 6666666!!!!!!!!!!!!! GHUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

KG showing how you bat on a belter.

KG and Saud shpuld be pak's new no 3 and 4 going forward

This is not a belter

 

[Rana]

he actualy has some power though

hopefully not just the pitch when pak players middle like this surely it got to be 400 pitch

You middle it here

It’s 6

 

[FearlessRoar]

what a knock man

 

[angrypathan]

This is some knock

 

[Marooned]

Wat a 50

 

[FearlessRoar]

Secret mics are quite active in South Africa, probably very curious about what players and commentators are talking about behind the scenes.
