[BouncerGuy]

Hasnain getting treatment here...LOL

 

[jamie smith]

tons loading for klassen,bavuma and breetzka

 

[castortroy]

Good that we are playing India in Dubai, would have had no chance on these highways. If we somehow do qualify for the knockouts, I doubt we will go much further.

Can you imagine the Indian batting line up playing in karachi.

Would be carnage

 

[Devadwal]

The Time for South Africa to select him .

no

 

[BouncerGuy]

350+ loading here..easy

 

[jamie smith]

Hasnain getting treatment here...LOL

awful bowling as usual

 

[jattafridi]

South Africa 340

Pakistan 312

 

[OldWarHorse]

So many young talented Saffers around

 

[BouncerGuy]

Chance gone begging... Riz LOL

 

[jamie smith]

400 coming with lord klassen still in the hut

 

[Rana]

Sana Mir had one job,

“6 runs in this over, SA 68-1…98-1”

 

[jattafridi]

supporting South Africa

Come on king bavuma destroy Pakistan bowling

 

[jamie smith]

rizwan should retire,his keeping has been circumspect for some time now.

Chance gone begging... Riz LOL

 

[Rana]

“Wallahi we are cooked”

 

[Rana]

The stump mic being so loud is agony

All you can hear is Rizwan and Agha constantly yapping!

 

[jamie smith]

verryne is also a dangerous customer

 

[Rana]

Sana Mir being an English commentator is a disgrace and reeks nepotism

 

[jamie smith]

The stump mic being so loud is agony

All you can hear is Rizwan and Agha constantly yapping!

someone should put a tape on rizwan's mouth like pollard

 

[Omer2002]

That is why you need a specialist spinner on such pitch... these fake all-rounders are not gonna do the job

Yes and specialist abrar is doing a great job i must say...

 

[jamie smith]

Hundred at a venue in all three formats
Faf du Plessis - Wanderers, Johannesburg
David Warner - Adelaide Oval
Babar Azam- National Stadium, Karachi
Quinton de Kock - Supersport Park, Centurion
Shubman Gill - Motera, Ahmedabad

 

[jamie smith]

Yes and specialist abrar is doing a great job i must say...

he is a nothing spinner.
You need specialist finger spinners in odis.

 

[adi_62941]

The production and viewing quality of ind vs eng match is so good that it looks like they are playing in england or australia

 

[jamie smith]

abrar getting cooked

 

[Devadwal]

I can see few of pakistan players likely to injured ( Real or fake ) before the champion trophy so they can be replaced by proper spinner and a opener

 

[NeVerMind]

So many young talented Saffers around

And we keep wheeling out tried and tested failures like HappyHeart and Rana!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Temba showing Babar how it is done

 

[jamie smith]

sa should bat more freely now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan's best bet is to bowl out all 20 overs of spin now before Klaasen comes in. Otherwise Pakistan might be looking at a chase of around 400.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bavuma and Breetzke will score 10 rpo off spin. But Klaasen will score 20.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Another crushing defeat for Pakistan in the making.

 

[BouncerGuy]

We are done with this team... The spin department is non-existent...

 

[castortroy]

None of these bowlers can deliver 6 deliveries in the same spot

 

[jamie smith]

lord bavuma looking set for ahistoric ton

 

[Omer2002]

he is a nothing spinner.
You need specialist finger spinners in odis.

We dont have any i thought muqeem cud havr been a trump card but his confidence must have been destroyed after south africa

 

[BouncerGuy]

You need another spinner in the squad.

Bring Qasim, mubasir or arafat in for Faheem or khushdil

 

[jamie smith]

breetzke should unleash himself now

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Knee jerk team changes incoming in 3 2 1 .....

 

[BouncerGuy]

bring khushdil now... Time to get rid of his overs... 2 right handers in... He should be able to do a better job

 

[jamie smith]

yeah and all 3 are" actual all rounder"

You need another spinner in the squad.

Bring Qasim, mubasir or arafat in for Faheem or khushdil

 

[jamie smith]

the ship has sailed,no changes can be made now

Knee jerk team changes incoming in 3 2 1 .....

Knee jerk team changes incoming in 3 2 1 .....

 

[jamie smith]

we are cooked,saffers looking good for 400

 

[FearlessRoar]

And they want to win the Champions Trophy in home conditions lol

 

[Devadwal]

the ship has sailed,no changes can be made now

Anything can happened .wait for injury news from the Pakistan team management about few players .

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

the ship has sailed,no changes can be made now

Don't think so, they just need to get changes approved from ICC committee which should just be a formality.

Teams are changing all the time & will keep changing right until the tournament starts.

 

[IAJ]

This team does not inspire any hope.

 

[mominsaigol]

Pathetic bowling from Pakistan

 

[aukhan]

350 looks possible.

What will today's margin of loss be?

 

[jamie smith]

No. Changes cant be made now unless there is some injury.

Don't think so, they just need to get changes approved from ICC committee which should just be a formality.

Teams are changing all the time & will keep changing right until the tournament starts.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Easy pitch and plenty of false shots. Bavuma better make it count

 

[Devadwal]

After getting embarrassed by NZ & SA at home i hope Pakistan don’t resort to preparing **** heaps at home for white ball games just like they did for test matches .

 

[Rana]

Naseem
Hasnain
Abrar

3 pathetic fielders in your XI

 

[jamie smith]

400 also looks possible.

350 looks possible.

What will today's margin of loss be?

 

[FearlessRoar]

This isn't everyone’s cup of tea—unless you're Shahid Afridi.

 

[jamie smith]

Naseem
Hasnain
Abrar

3 Tatti fielders in your XI

add khusdil to this list also

 

[BouncerGuy]

this is where haris comes good in middle overs to take wickets... This team is done

 

[BouncerGuy]

Khushdil is pathetic as usual... cannot bowl... cannot field.. and we all know about his batting

 

[Omer2002]

You need another spinner in the squad.

Bring Qasim, mubasir or arafat in for Faheem or khushdil

They are same as agha and co

 

[jamie smith]

hence proved

 

[aukhan]

This will turn into a bowling pitch once our modern-day thakeley batsmen are at the crease.

 

[Devadwal]

School level fielding by Pakistan player's .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just tuned in....ICC's stuff of dreams ...3 matches-ODI all going simultaneously....
Meanwhile Rizwan giving lots of advise in perhaps pahstu language to his boys?

 

[jamie smith]

arafat minhas is better

They are same as agha and co

 

[Energy]

Babar's arch rival chota don aka Temba Bavuma has risen to the occasion.

Can Bobby respond back?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Toothless bowling.

 

[aukhan]

School level fielding by Pakistan player's .

TBF schoolboys put in more effort nowadays

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rashid Latif is right—drop Shaheen Shah Afridi from the team.

 

[Omer2002]

Khushdil is pathetic as usual... cannot bowl... cannot field.. and we all know about his batting

So far today he has bowled better than agha and abrar wouldnt u say

 

[PakFan2010]

Reality check for Pakistan.

South Africa have a lot more talent.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Bavuma is playing against our bowlers as if he's Bradman. It’s really painful that we don’t have any quality bowlers left.

 

[jamie smith]

tbf I can also bowl better than fakedil

TBF schoolboys put in more effort nowadays

 

[aukhan]

Rashid Latif is right—drop Shaheen Shah Afridi from the team.

Wasn't he part of the Saya Corps as well?

 

[aukhan]

Cutie pie is back.

 

[jamie smith]

good bowling from trundler naseema

 

[Devadwal]

Unbelievable fielding .

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Such disinterested bowling and fielding, feels like someone forced these lulloos to play at gunpoint.

 

[Hellion]

Naseem is bending his back and hitting 140 kph. But it's a flat wicket.

Got to appreciate the effort though

 

[aukhan]

Klassen is yet to come. Rizwan's captaincy has been exposed.


Saim Ayub won us two away series single-handedly.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Such disinterested bowling and fielding, feels like someone forced these lulloos to play at gunpoint.

6 teams are playing today, guess which one is the most listless.

 

[jamie smith]

looks like these boys are playing on begar

 

[Hellion]

Naseem bowls 133 kph short ball and has a go at Temba
