[MenInG]

 

[Justcrazy]

169 runs is target , need to pick early wickets

 

[Mueez]

Can we get Amir pre-2010 back please?!

He is our only hope to defend this.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

[MENTION=133726]GoUgandaCranes[/MENTION]

I'm glad you see "it" in Andile as well. He's one of my favourites in the current SA squad.

First over imad wasim.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Spin has to work for Pakistan to have a chance

 

[Madplayer]

First ball 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Hendricks starts on positive note , takes on Imad

 

[Justcrazy]

Imad isa steady bowler in 20 20.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Amazing bowling Imad - one bad ball can happen.

 

[Plumb]

Imad is a must to open ODI bowling and Babar should open ODI batting.. simple tweaks can make big differences

 

[Madplayer]

Shaheen you champ

 

[Justcrazy]

Shaheen strikes

 

[Mueez]

Shaheen you youngsta beauty.

 

[Plumb]

Shaheen + Imad good combo

 

[Green Patriot]

Shaheen Shabash beta shabash.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Well done

He's not test ready though. Please don't ruin him.

 

[Madplayer]

Shaheen Shabash beta shabash.

he deserves all the Shabashis

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Imad is just brilliant.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Clutch vd Dussen

I hope he's coming to the WC

 

[Ahmed216]

18yr old leading the pace attack

 

[Syed1]

18yr old leading the pace attack

I'm glad its him rather than garbage Shinwari.

 

[Green Patriot]

he deserves all the Shabashis

Ikr.
What a delightful,talented and humble player MashaAllah.

 

[Plumb]

18yr old leading the pace attack

9 yrs ago heard same line....

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[ARK Rafay]

I knew Imad will get Malan out. He struggles vs Spin. Specially Imad and dart balls

 

[Rana]

Imad world class T20 player

 

[Justcrazy]

two down

 

[rhony]

So difficult to hit Imad..

 

[Plumb]

Imad will be handy in england

 

[ARK Rafay]

Eagerly waiting today for Rameez to say Pakistan won this. Why wouldn't they. They've bowled out the opposition in T20s x number of times.
I won't complain today

 

[Rana]

TBF, Van der Dussen has been too good in this series for these Pakistani bowlers so far

 

[Madplayer]

Amir what the hell.

 

[Green Patriot]

Amir could have taken this.

 

[Plumb]

Eagerly waiting today for Rameez to say Pakistan won this. Why wouldn't they. They've bowled out the opposition in T20s x number of times.

already started counting ur eggs didn't you? Miller is yet to come

 

[lahoriyah1234]

TBF, Van der Dussen has been too good in this series for these Pakistani bowlers so far

Relax beta. He is playing at home conditions. Pakistan bowling attack is still v good for this format and ODI. So dont judge over 1 series how bad we are when we are quite a good bowling attack.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Pakistan in charge atm...

We need some boundaries.

 

[Ahmed216]

9 yrs ago heard same line....

Was true at that time.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The only positive for Pakistan on this tour has been Shaheen Shah Afridi.

 

[Syed1]

Now imagine Shinwari bowling atm... SA would have raced onto 50 already. What a pathetic bowler.

 

[ARK Rafay]

The only positive for Pakistan on this tour has been Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Imad and Babar?

 

[Syed1]

RRR already reaching 10 rpo

 

[Usman Chadda]

This start begs the question - why did we bowl first in the earlier matches?

 

[Rana]

Energy behind the stumps by Rizzi

 

[a_tahir]

He even said "aram say" but Rana saab won't listen.

 

[Chokli]

This start begs the question - why did we bowl first in the earlier matches?

You honestly think we should have defended with Shinwari and Hasan?

 

[Plumb]

This start begs the question - why did we bowl first in the earlier matches?

we lost toss

 

[a_tahir]

we lost toss

We still lost it today as well

 

[Rana]

Famous Pakistan choke hold, havent seen this in ages

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Klaasen matching Rizwan at the moment the way both of them started their innings today.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan need to rush through their overs. There seems to be some dew out there and its only going to get worse.

I think bring shadab on already. He wont be able to grip the ball later.

 

[Plumb]

Energy behind the stumps by Rizzi

Keep it behind.....not with the bat in hand and in front of stumps

 

[Ahmed216]

This start begs the question - why did we bowl first in the earlier matches?

Bcoz in odis all matches were won batting second.

In tests they felt we lacked pace so they brought in shenwari ODI's

That is how it works

 

[Deewana Mastana]

we lost toss

Malik chose to bowl first in the 2nd game.

 

[a_tahir]

Pakistan's win percentage in T20Is while defending 150plus targets is 91.11. They have won 41 out of 45 matches.

 

[rhony]

Wrong.

Look how much Amla got in his peak. Babar will be in Amla's category. Imad will go in the category of Badree with some death batting.

 

[Plumb]

Imad looks like a different player altogether... batted well bowled well. hopefully keep working hard and prove to be the main player in WC

 

[Slim]

Shaheen is such a beautiful talent. Can you imagine leading the bowling for Pakistan at a tender age of 19?

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Pakistan's win percentage in T20Is while defending 150plus targets is 91.11. They have won 41 out of 45 matches.

Crazy.

 

[Madplayer]

This Dussen guy is the best batsman in this SA side tonight.

 

[a_tahir]

Razzie is an incredible batsman

 

[Syed1]

Crazy.

The 4 loses are very memorable though.


One of them being that Hussey smashing we got in T20 WC semi.

 

[Green Patriot]

Gotta get this Dussen.He is pretty good.
And can't let Miller settle either.

 

[Rana]

Van der Dussen is a proper player guys! serious talent

 

[a_tahir]

The 4 loses are very memorable though.

Ajmal SMH

 

[Haripotter]

Shaheen is such a beautiful talent. Can you imagine leading the bowling for Pakistan at a tender age of 19?

We can only hope he doesn't go the present Amir way

 

[Slim]

Dussen looks at sea against Shaheen lmao

What a talent shaheen is. Top.

 

[Rana]

Oh God who has Malik asked to warm up?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Remember the feeling you used to have when Saeed Ajmal came into bowl? It used to be the time Pakistan regained momentum in the match. You don't get the same feeling with Shadab.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Ajmal SMH

After that he became the Magician

 

[a_tahir]

We can only hope he doesn't go the present Amir way

Amir lost 5 years of his career. I hope Shaheen isn't stupid enough to go the same way.

 

[Slim]

We can only hope he doesn't go the present Amir way

High hopes for Shaheen to win the next emerging cricketer award.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

The Clutch playing it cool.

This guys should have joined the squad a long time ago.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Remember the feeling you used to have when Saeed Ajmal came into bowl? It used to be the time Pakistan regained momentum in the match. You don't get the same feeling with Shadab.

You knew Ajmal will do his Magic

 

[Madplayer]

After that he became the Magician

Yeah he did have a trick or two up his sleeve

 

[Syed1]

Remember the feeling you used to have when Saeed Ajmal came into bowl? It used to be the time Pakistan regained momentum in the match. You don't get the same feeling with Shadab.

Ajmal was a class apart... Still remember how he tied up SA in that T20 WC semi

 

[a_tahir]

Slower balls doing magic for Shaheen

 

[Markhor]

Good changes of pace from Shaheen.

 

[Madplayer]

Its a good choke hold. But gotta pick up more wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

24 . 2

6 overs

excellent bowling by Pakistan so far
