Pakistan v South Africa | 1st T20I | Lahore | February 11, 2021 | Pakistan innings

[Kroll]

Haider needs to rotate strike more if not able to hit six

 

[Gullycricket]

Bring on Junior

 

[Rana]

Come on man should have cleared that for six!

 

[UzmanBeast]

Threw away the wicket. No need to go in the air.

Same leg stump line I was talking about.

 

[Gullycricket]

Brainless player

 

[castortroy]

Pak batting will forever remain absymal

 

[silentkiller187]

Seems like rizwan is the only batsmen with a brain, shame he isn’t the greatest of batsmen

 

[Mean&Green]

Haider lmao yaar Atleast realize the guy has no pace it would have never gone

 

[Gullycricket]

Stonis in

 

[Sir-fraz]

Rohail is not a Limited Overs batsman either, and Azam Khan should focus on becoming a specialist batsman and give up keeping hopes.

Havent seen much of him, just read some posts about him here.

Azam khan needs to be playing domestic cricket. Playing t10 and t20 is not gonna help him.
Gonna have to watch a couple psl games now to see how he does.

Hes big and seems to be light on his feet. I think he can keep, just needs to lose more weight.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haider Ali is nowhere near a player that should be inducted in any team for Pakistan yet.

He needs a good coach to work with him for a good 2-3 years continuously and then could be inducted in T20s.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Umar Akmal Pro got out.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Rotate strike, take the game deep, you have Khushdil, Iftikhar, and Faheem to come in and slog. Need to stay composed.

 

[sam_ahm]

Why is half the ground wasted? They have brought in the ropes for pretty much half the ground. Disgusting.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Are these boundaries small or what?

 

[Sir-fraz]

I said this earlier he needs to be more calculated. He is trying to smash everything.

He has loads of talent but his circket iq seems to be pretty low.

 

[Mean&Green]

Pakistani players just don’t want to improve babar seems done as well

 

[Kroll]

Hmmm, Haider not quite the 70+ scoring batsman just yet. But you have to say, these snails like Rizwan put extra pressure on.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Haider Ali is nowhere near a player that should be inducted in any team for Pakistan yet.

He needs a good coach to work with him for a good 2-3 years continuously and then could be inducted in T20s.

His temperament is the issue.

Plays with a slogger's mindset.

 

[Titan24]

Shot was on, Haider should have hit that in the gap

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizwan despite his limitations is so good

 

[Mamoon]

Talat is the most underrated young batsman in Pakistan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan is too fidgety at the wicket not good at all

 

[UzmanBeast]

Haven't seen a yorker from SAF bowlers yet.

 

[Shafi]

So many dot balls!!! Misbah is the coach nothing surprise.

 

[Mamoon]

Haider plays purely on instincts. He needs a lot of FC experience.

 

[Gullycricket]

Imagine Saifi bhai and Andie shaking hands later

 

[silentkiller187]

Rizwan despite his limitations is so good

Probably the best of the bunch at the moment yet seems like our fans are happier watching brainless shots and people throwing wickets away

 

[Titan24]

Talat is the most underrated young batsman in Pakistan.

I agree. He is rarely talked about or rated as much as some others despite some pretty decent traits

 

[UzmanBeast]

Talat is the most underrated young batsman in Pakistan.

I agree.

May not have exceptional domestic stats but has talent.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haven't seen a yorker from SAF bowlers yet.

They've taken the pace off the ball so not needed as yet

 

[Mueez]

PSL anthem isn’t that bad.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Talat is the most underrated young batsman in Pakistan.

Well let's see. He has 3 games to show us what he can do.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Snyman on

 

[Titan24]

Okish powerplay.

 

[Hyder]

Rizwan has not been outscored by any opener who ve played with him. then what s the cry about removing him?

 

[shamaan]

Hmmm, Haider not quite the 70+ scoring batsman just yet. But you have to say, these snails like Rizwan put extra pressure on.

Exactly thats what preesure does

 

[Rana]

PSL anthem isn’t that bad.

Yep on the loudspeaker

 

[Rana]

Talat has looked good straight away

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan’s biggest issue is his timing is poor. He has to muscle everything to the boundary.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Good shot there. Nice technique in the dab.

 

[castortroy]

Haider is a walking wicket. Very lose technique

 

[Gullycricket]

Talat stonis

 

[CricketBuff]

Shot was on, Haider should have hit that in the gap

It was a brilliant catch. Give some credit to the fielder !!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

His temperament is the issue.

Plays with a slogger's mindset.

It's a T20, you need to slog in these games tbf, just need to hit through the line. Thought he had the right idea, just didn't get enough of the ball.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Haider plays purely on instincts. He needs a lot of FC experience.

FC and he needs to watch A LOT of tape. I mean a ton. He doesnt know the meaning of building an innings. He also needs a mentor but thats too much to ask for

 

[Rana]

This is great intent. Him and Haider both have looked positive

 

[Titan24]

Not much nerves at all for Talat on his come back. Good sweep

 

[Mueez]

Yep on the loudspeaker

True. Would be much better with crowd

 

[Mamoon]

Well let's see. He has 3 games to show us what he can do.

He has looked good every time I have seen him. He doesn’t get talked about much and he doesn’t have a fan club behind him.

A lot of players of similar or even lesser potential have had more chances than him.

Should get a few opportunities in ODIs as well.

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

A poor man's babar azam

 

[Mueez]

Talat looking nice.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Talat just needs to calm down a bit here.

Snyman is gonna put it full, so the best places to hit are within the V or driving the ball. If you can lift it on the off-side, that's worthwhile as well.

 

[silentkiller187]

Talat is the most underrated young batsman in Pakistan.

Looks decent so far, exactly the type of player we need.

 

[Mean&Green]

Talat is the most underrated young batsman in Pakistan.

So true I will never know what amazing talent he was dropped for

 

[Titan24]

It was a brilliant catch. Give some credit to the fielder !!

Absolutely. It was brilliant, I was just pointing out the slight error from the side of the batsman

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Hussain Talat is the local boy here.

Hails from Shahdara which is near Allama Iqbal International airport (Lahore).

 

[UzmanBeast]

He has looked good every time I have seen him. He doesn’t get talked about much and he doesn’t have a fan club behind him.

A lot of players of similar or even lesser potential have had more chances than him.

Should get a few opportunities in ODIs as well.

Might get a chance in ODIs if he performs in T20s given Pakistan's selection culture.

Has an opportunity to get his name on that team sheet.

 

[Rajdeep]

Any idea why SA is not full strength here? Considering T20 WC is this year and that too in sub continent, they wont get a better series. No wonder their cricket is in a downward spiral.

 

[Mamoon]

I agree.

May not have exceptional domestic stats but has talent.

He has always looked good but hasn’t had enough chances across formats. Poor guy doesn’t have fan/support club either.

 

[Rana]

The Prince of Lahore Junior Dala is on

 

[Gullycricket]

Junior Dala should be happy that Saifi bhai is not playing

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Any idea why SA is not full strength here? Considering T20 WC is this year and that too in sub continent, they wont get a better series. No wonder their cricket is in a downward spiral.

Their main players thought they had to prepare for the games against Australia. They did not know then that it would get cancelled.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Rizwan needs to ease his batting right now.

He's hacking the ball right now.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan needs to calm down

All over the place

 

[CricketBuff]

I think the plan is Rizwan stays till the end while the others slog it out !!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

He has looked good every time I have seen him. He doesn’t get talked about much and he doesn’t have a fan club behind him.

A lot of players of similar or even lesser potential have had more chances than him.

Should get a few opportunities in ODIs as well.

Maybe he needs to play orthodox shots for a few overs and not go for sixes too early. Could be more of a technical player whereas when I have seen him he has been out slogging.

 

[Rana]

Here comes a boundary...

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan looks so ungainly when the ball is angled into his body. His head falls off and it looks like he will never get bat on ball.

Younis is obviously not interested in working with the batsman in spite of the fact that he is the batting coach. Hopefully Yousuf can work with him in off-season.

Rizwan cannot play an on-drive and Yousuf was so good at it.

 

[Titan24]

Any idea why SA is not full strength here? Considering T20 WC is this year and that too in sub continent, they wont get a better series. No wonder their cricket is in a downward spiral.

They had to go into bubble for Aus tests but, than they cancelled the tour at the last moment.

 

[Rana]

I think the plan is Rizwan stays till the end while the others slog it out !!

Yep, thats what the Rizwan fans will tell you.

 

[Omer2002]

Rizwans career 2020 strike rate is awful

 

[silentkiller187]

Any idea why SA is not full strength here? Considering T20 WC is this year and that too in sub continent, they wont get a better series. No wonder their cricket is in a downward spiral.

Something to do with COVID bubbles and cut offs for their next tour I think which I think got cancelled anyway so missed a trick.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rizwan shouldnt play t20is.

 

[Rajdeep]

Their main players thought they had to prepare for the games against Australia. They did not know then that it would get cancelled.

They had to go into bubble for Aus tests but, than they cancelled the tour at the last moment.

I see...thanks guys.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Forget about everything else ...... Where is Shadab Khan? And Usman Qadir, why?

 

[Mean&Green]

Rizwan needs a running between the wickets coach not a a batting coach

 

[Sir-fraz]

Talat has always looked good, he shouldve been focusing just on his batting because his bowling is alright. But he clearly has talent

 

[UzmanBeast]

It's a T20, you need to slog in these games tbf, just need to hit through the line. Thought he had the right idea, just didn't get enough of the ball.

He needs to understand the role he plays. Not just there to hit a flashy 20. He throws away good starts so often, it's disappointing watching him.

 

[CricketBuff]

They should be showing RR on the screen too.
