What's new

Pakistan defeat South Africa in 3rd T20I by 27 runs to finish tour with consolation victory

Shinwari has inspired Faheem to be the fastest bowler of the team.
 
Faheem should be benched , he should compete for bowling slot instead of getting free run as all rounder
 
Faheem is as useful as an inflatable dartboard.

These pseudo cricketers will lose you more matches than they win.
 
But what if the batsman pre-meditates? Then the bowler will obviously adjust

That leg rule is for a different purpose - cricket being a side on game, the logic behind the rule was that out-side leg is out of sight, so batsman should get a fair chance. If batsman is premeditating a reverse sweep, means he is taking unfair advantage of the law - today that ball was crushing middle, if it was pitching couple of inches out, still it would have crushed leg & middle, but Andile would have survived. It's unfair to the bowler.
 
Amir has some worth in situations like these. Not someone who will go for 20+ runs.
 
Bowl full and you take wickets!

Well done Amir.

Shouldnt have lost the first two matches to this team. :facepalm:

Hmmm thnx
 
No way SA is chasing this. Glad to be ending the tour with a victory. Been a frustrating tour as I felt we've been the better side in the LOI leg.
 
Rana, you have let me down :ssmith

No, you have let yourself down.

Watching cricket for so many years and being active in PP, your emotion got better of you - I still can recall that I had to avoid explaining you difference between Imran Khan & Fahim Ashraf out of my disgust .......

I feel for reverse sweep or switch hit there should be no pitched outside rule open pitch to give bowlers something in this era

that's where people don't understand small changes matter... Sarfi not playing was big loss.
 
Had we played Amir in the last match we would have won. I hope Shinwari never puts on the Pak jersey again.
 
I feel happy to see Amir performing.

Amir stepped up today and that is a good thing to see.

I should remind everyone that the time for winning matches on this tour is gone.

I don’t see any difference between 9-2 and 8-3. A shameful tour regardless of the dead rubber win here.

I agree. A pathetic tour overall.

The limited over games/series have been quite entertaining though. Close games (20) and tie breakers (50). Good fun, as always.
 
Imad and shahdab should be your allrounders for the world cup , have 3 genuine bowlers playing along them , Faheem Ashraf can't bat is a trust opinion, hell he can't bat to save his own life .
 
Whoever was behind the "idea" of dropping Amir from T20 XI needs a hefty fine - you have to hurt the pocket, otherwise only shaming isn't working.

We shouldnt have lost any of the t20I matches and should have won the ODI series to be fair.
 
We need Junaid and Amir back for WC.


Our starting pace battery should be Amir, Junaid and Shaheen (I know three left armers).... Hasan Ali can do his celebration from the bench where he belongs, unless he regains himself.
 
No please. Shinwari is not even cut out to play List A cricket.

Shinwari gets smacked in odis as well

He's a wicket-taker with a phenomenal record as of now.

Long-term atleast good enough to be on the bench; competing for the 3rd pacer in the immediate future with Junaid, until Inzi figures out who Bashir is or a young pacer impresses in the PSL.

Amir does not belong in ODIs.

He's a mental midget.
His stats have been inflated by the sri lanka series.
He isn't mentally tough enough
 
besides the test series pakistan was very competitive. Ya the end result suggest otherwise but ODIs were competitive with one game went SA way because of DL if it was pakistan way we would have won the series....

Losing T20s was bad decisions plus no Sarfi...

Tests: well when T20 players play tests thats the result expected.

He is not good enough to take the wicket of a quality batsman.

The question is who will take wickets with new Ball aswell as middle overs (shaheen is exception). So you think Amir bowled better than Hassan?

His "phenomenal record" is due to his average of 11 and 12 against Zim and SL. He couldn't pick a wicket against Afg or Ind and despite those 4 tailender wickets against SA, he still averages 26 against them. Garbage bowler.
 
Nitini wakes up from slumber whenever SA hits a boundary - ANNOYING.
 
Got a feeling Morris will cash in a big over to make it interesting...
