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

[Deewana Mastana]

Needed a direct hit

 

[Ozymandiasza]

So does Van dussen. Even Steyn looks like he is in his mid 40s. Perhaps Saffers dont age well

Must be the sun

Worth it though. We have a beautiful country.

 

[Mueez]

Shinwari has inspired Faheem to be the fastest bowler of the team.

 

[Green Patriot]

Shady please don't leak runs.

 

[Madplayer]

Sensible hendriks.

 

[rhony]

Rizwaaaaaan..messes an easy chance

 

[Justcrazy]

Faheem should be benched , he should compete for bowling slot instead of getting free run as all rounder

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shadab come on

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab has mixed it up very well tonite. Street smart play

 

[Plumb]

Shaheen to bowl next

 

[Madplayer]

Must be the sun

Worth it though. We have a beautiful country.

I am sure it is.

 

[Markhor]

Faheem is as useful as an inflatable dartboard.

These pseudo cricketers will lose you more matches than they win.

 

[MMHS]

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.

 

[Plumb]

Rizwaaaaaan..messes an easy chance

what ??? no way... I thought he is the best keeper and batsmen ... ooo man

 

[Abdullah719]

Rameez "he can be the go-to guy at this stage" - totally defeating the purpose of a go-to guy

What he actually said was: "Bowling has been their go-to guy to win matches"

 

[Madplayer]

Rizwan looks like a small line running on the field.

 

[babajee]

Rana, you have let me down

 

[Pete Rose]

rizwan is falling over while keeping as well

 

[a_tahir]

what ??? no way... I thought he is the best keeper and batsmen ... ooo man

Everyone has a brainfade. Don't think too much of it

 

[Dark_Horse]

Faheem should be benched , he should compete for bowling slot instead of getting free run as all rounder

Spot on even he should not play in islu above a amad butt as a bowler but he is playing for Pakistan

 

[Asif321]

No way we should have lost series to this side

 

[Mueez]

Sarfraz > Rizwan.

 

[Pete Rose]

Must be the sun

Worth it though. We have a beautiful country.

I loved my two years there.

 

[Plumb]

Rizwan looks like a small line running on the field.

)))

 

[Mamoon]

Amir has some worth in situations like these. Not someone who will go for 20+ runs.

 

[Madplayer]

Rana, you have let me down

Rana G*

 

[a_tahir]

No way we should have lost series to this side

Even with Shinwari conceding 60 we only lost by 7 runs.
We were not that bad

 

[imshally81]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amir gets another

 

[Justcrazy]

62 from 28 balls.



Hendricks gone

 

[Slim]

Bowl full and you take wickets!

Well done Amir.

Shouldnt have lost the first two matches to this team.

 

[Pete Rose]

chalo ji. thats that

 

[Mueez]

Amir strikes



Good return to the side!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Yeah that worked - playing Shinwari over Amir

 

[Ahmed216]

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.

Hmmm thnx

 

[imshally81]

Sarfraz > Rizwan.

Any day....

 

[Green Patriot]

Now i want Nitini to praise Pakistan.

 

[Syed1]

Form is temporary but class is permanent.

 

[Snowflake]

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.

 

[MMHS]

Rana, you have let me down

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 .......

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Winning this would be a fluke.

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

 

[Plumb]

Bowl full and you take wickets!

Well done Amir.

Shouldnt have lost the first two matches to this team.

that's where people don't understand small changes matter... Sarfi not playing was big loss.

 

[Syed1]

Had we played Amir in the last match we would have won. I hope Shinwari never puts on the Pak jersey again.

 

[Mueez]

I feel happy to see Amir performing.

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

 

[Plumb]

Now i want Nitini to praise Pakistan.

Please no... he is already tough to listen to along with Rameez

 

[babajee]

No, you have let yourself down.

[Mamoon]

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.

 

[Green Patriot]

Please no... he is already tough to listen to along with Rameez

He is incredibly biased IMO.
Now he should give credit where its due.

 

[Square Drive]

Had we played Amir in the last match we would have won. I hope Shinwari never puts on the Pak jersey again.

Different bowlers for different formats.

Amir for T20Is. Shinwari in ODIs.

 

[Madplayer]

I agree. A pathetic tour overall.

 

[babajee]

Amir for T20Is. Shinwari in ODIs.

No please. Shinwari is not even cut out to play List A cricket.

 

[a_tahir]

Different bowlers for different formats.

Shinwari gets smacked in odis as well

 

[Madplayer]

Rana G bowling so many full tosses.

 

[Slim]

Yeah that worked - playing Shinwari over Amir

that's where people don't understand small changes matter... Sarfi not playing was big loss.

Its fine, we fielded our B team - no Sarf, no Junaid, no Amir.

 

[Pete Rose]

faheem continuing to bowl filth

 

[Ahmed216]

60 needed off 4 overs.

Bring on Shenwari!

 

[Ozymandiasza]

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.

The limited over games/series have been quite entertaining though. Close games (20) and tie breakers (50). Good fun, as always.

 

[Madplayer]

Dala timing them better than Talat.

 

[a_tahir]

Rana ji tinu ki hogaya si

 

[Tabishbeigh]

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 .

 

[Plumb]

No please. Shinwari is not even cut out to play List A cricket.

Agreed... not reliable for International cricket

 

[MMHS]

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.

 

[Slim]

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

We shouldnt have lost any of the t20I matches and should have won the ODI series to be fair.

 

[Syed1]

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.

 

[Square Drive]

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.

 

[a_tahir]

Predict how much is pakistan going to win by.
I think 35 runs

 

[a_tahir]

He's a mental midget.
His stats have been inflated by the sri lanka series.
He isn't mentally tough enough

 

[Plumb]

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.

 

[a_tahir]

Why is Rana Ji bowling so many full tosses?

 

[Slim]

Rana bowling trash

 

[babajee]

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

 

[Dark_Horse]

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.

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?

 

[Syed1]

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.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Morris believes it's possible.

Good luck.

 

[Slim]

Nitini wakes up from slumber whenever SA hits a boundary - ANNOYING.

 

[Plumb]

Got a feeling Morris will cash in a big over to make it interesting...

 

[imshally81]

tt

 

[Syed1]

He sounds like Rafiki to me

 

[Madplayer]

Junior out.
