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

[mominsaigol]

Act your age please

Not your shoe size

As if he has any legs to stand on

 

[Ahmed216]

Bobsy looks switched on. Playing with nice and relaxed stance.
Ominous signs for any opposition when world's number 1 batter looks good.

 

[emranabbas]

Aus and SA scores with Riz as captain:
204/8, 163, 140, 239

Hope the trend continues

How much contribution from rizwan in those scores?

Fear creeping in this thread as well. King is on the charge! 20th ODI ton incoming.

 

[kingusama92]

Pitch looks decent so far.

They're going to need 320+.

 

[Rana]

Noooooo

 

[adi_62941]

Saim is in red hot form

 

[MHN1293]

disappointing end

 

[Omer2002]

Always was gona get out there or cut or point. All teams will target that area for saim too

 

[Rana]

Well that sucks

Now we have to watch the two curses bat together

 

[emranabbas]

Match over

 

[m.shah]

Saim gone to nothing delivery.
Time for Rizwan to dance.

 

[emranabbas]

Congratulations South Africa

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's the 4th wicket Maphaka have gotten bowling short and wide on this tour. Clearly this is a plan from him.

 

[Rana]

Saim gone to nothing delivery.
Time for Rizwan to dance.

Bounce Billo time

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Saim needs to be more consistent if he wants to nail down his slot. Disappointing end. Series deciding partnership right here. The gamebreakers are at the crease together. The King and the Kaptaana! Let's go!

 

[kingusama92]

Unlucky there!

Now for the nightmare partnership of Babar-Rizwan.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Watching Rizwan and Babar together, both trying to find form, is like watching Mike Tyson and Mohammad Ali together.

 

[Rana]

Nothing to look forward to now in this game

Saim goes, and it becomes like you are watching a Turkish B grade movie

 

[Ahmed216]

How much contribution from rizwan in those scores?

You should know better than that. Captains do have a huge role in restricting oppositions with field placements andd bowling changes etc

Remember when members of your clique were asking for spinner to be introduced in Aus games but Kaptaana went for the kill with his pacemen

Even in first ODI of this series Agha was pointing towards Kaptaana giving him credit for his wickets.

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan will be out on single digit

 

[Omer2002]

Wake up rizzzyyy this is cricket and not gulli danda

 

[Rana]

Excellent Maphaka

 

[m.shah]

Always was gona get out there or cut or point. All teams will target that area for saim too

How he counters this weakness will define him

 

[Rana]

Numbaaaaaaa fooooow

Sooooopa leaaaaaaaague

 

[RehanG]

Nothing to look forward to now in this game

Saim goes, and it becomes like you are watching a Turkish B grade movie

Rizwan is out there so enough entertainment.

Ignore them. King and Kaptaana giving them nightmares. They wanted to celebrate SA whitewash, it looks like SA will get whitewashed. Overrated team that scores 400 on dead pitches vs Stoinis and Spencer and no name bowlers. Won't cross 250 again today.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If there is anything about his game that Saim needs to improve and work on, its the strike-rotation.

 

[Rana]

Yes Jansen! Clap that!

We are talking about batting stop switching from batting to captaincy to wicket keeping

It's also his responsibility to score runs not just wicket keep and captain

 

[emranabbas]

Test for rizwan to see if he can win without saims contribution

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar off to a good start. I hope he gets his rhythm back for odi. However I want saim ayub to be the new face of pk cricket now.

Not hype wise we don't need another babar azam in the making

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan is out there so enough entertainment.

Drama shuru

 

[Rana]

1 hour delay

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwan gets hit and fights on. How can you hate this man? Always trying his best. Fully behind Kaptaana!

 

[m.shah]

That was nasty

Test for rizwan to see if he can win without saims contribution.

Almost got beheaded

 

[Ahmed216]

That was a nothing ball but Saim just tried to hit it a bit too hard

 

[emranabbas]

Note current run rate is 5.39

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

King is in the mood today. Just needs to bide his time against this lalloo SA attack. Series winning 100 is there for the taking.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

That was a nothing ball but Saim just tried to hit it a bit too hard

Saim got excited. He will learn under Babar and Riz. He's still young.

 

[Rana]

after all

He is a human being. And a father to young children

Ya Allah keep him safe

(Do not question my genuine concern here)

 

[Mrjungshook]

They don't know whom they have messed with.
He will now take 2 minutes after every over to fix his helmet.

 

[mominsaigol]

1 hour delay

It wasn't even a bouncer? This guy ducked into the ball

 

[m.shah]

So he should have left ?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Note current run rate is 5.39

It'll be 3 in the next 5.

 

[Mrjungshook]

Saim got excited. He will learn under Babar and Riz. He's still young.

Nahiiiiii
He should learn from fakhar
How singles are important as well.
Rizwan will teach him acting.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim got excited. He will learn under Babar and Riz. He's still young.

He could've hit it anywhere but alas...

 

[Rana]

It wasn't even a bouncer? This guy ducked into the ball

Naa that was too dangerous for his ability

There are MCC rules about bouncers/short balls to players of lesser ability

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It wasn't even a bouncer? This guy ducked into the ball

Short, pacy guys with skiddy short balls are difficult to avoid.

 

[MHN1293]

As long as Pakistan keep winning series under Rizwan he will remain captain inspite of lack of runs. So its better if we all wish for him to succeed in that department asw

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

He could've hit it anywhere but alas...

He doesn't have Babar's nous yet. Look at Babar, purring along with no risks at 90 SR. Saim needs to get to that level. All these no look bakwas look good when it comes off but in ODI and Test, proper shots are the way to go.

 

[adi_62941]

babar presence always make saim confused. He plays well when babar or rizwan is not with him

 

[Mrjungshook]

Rizwan gets hit and fights on. How can you hate this man? Always trying his best. Fully behind Kaptaana!

Yeh dekho.
So what others would do?
Leave?
Everyone plays after getting hit.
Well the rizwan is as a person
I wouldn't be surprised if he actually leaves after getting hit.

 

[stani_pak]

Chance for Riz and Babs to get some runs

 

[Rana]

Yeh dekho.
So what others would do?
Leave?
Everyone plays after getting hit.
Well the rizwan is as a person
I wouldn't be surprised if he actually leaves after getting hit.

If he leaves

I wouldn’t call him a coward.

That was nasty

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Babar SR is 82 and he hasn't hit a shot in anger. Pure class. King is on the move.

 

[m.shah]

Sarfaraz friend into the attack'

 

[Mrjungshook]

If he leaves

I wouldn’t call him a coward.

That was nasty

Well even I wouldn't call him coward but the thing is op made it sound like impossible thing that's why I said this.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@Ahmed216 there will be some serious heartburn today when King/Kaptaana lead series win in SA.

Hopefully. Panic has already set in.

No more 400 predictions

 

[m.shah]

2 singles from over

 

[Rana]

Decan told umpires to keep an eye on Rizwan

Don’t get it, his professional commitment is to either take him off or confirm he is OK.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ofcourse the rr drops below 5 when these 2 are on smh.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Hopefully. Panic has already set in.

No more 400 predictions

SA overrated hacks were said to be 400 monsters and Pak would get whitewashed...lol. Instead they are being humbled in their own den.

 

[RehanG]

Bobsy to score a hunderd iA.

 

[Mrjungshook]

I swear I was thinking the same thing.
Rizwan has written codes with the help of momin saqib now it's running on auto mode.
And codes will automatically reply when someone's mentions
(Rizwan is a leg side hack)
(Rizwan dances on a crease)
(Rizwan's mainly spends on white cream for lips)

 

[PakPremi]

Can you guys make your commentary enjoyable to read instead of leg pulling each other, no one wants to know if Rizwan is Bradman or Mansoor Akhtar in 1000 posts every thread.

 

[emranabbas]

Note current run rate is 5.39

We are already down to 4.85

 

[Rana]

Decan out there again

 

[Ahmed216]

Think SA will be saved today because of that blow to Riz's head

 

[Rana]

We are already down to 4.85

Bhai our captain isn’t a follower

He will look for the average first innings score here

 

[Rana]

Think SA will be saved today because of that blow to Riz's head

Otherwise Rizwan’s 180 off 70 was loading?

 

[m.shah]

Partnership 10 of 22

 

[Fanboy375]

Babar needs to score a 50 to stop being a central of gossip in Twitter

 

[mominsaigol]

Otherwise Rizwan’s 180 off 70 was loading?

Has rizzu ever played at a 100+ SR in odi? I can't recall

 

[Ahmed216]

Otherwise Rizwan’s 180 off 70 was loading?

No, but a match winning is always on the cards with world class players

 

[Rana]

Has rizzu ever played at a 100+ SR in odi? I can't recall

no clue.

 

[emranabbas]

Seriously these guys coached saim ayub??

 

[m.shah]

Beautiful shot

 

[jamie smith]

vs srilanka in wc

no clue.
