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

[CricketBuff]

Incompetence in the extreme. Was blindingly obviously not out.

This umpire wants to be in the good books of ICC !!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Wat a disgrace of a 3rd umpire. Horrendous decision. No way that was out. 3RD CLASS UMPIRING

 

[JibranAnsari]

iftikhar is our last umeed for a good score

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

One of the worst decisions I have seen

Made with slow motion tv replay technology after 8 viewings. I really don't think there's any way you can allow this guy to stay in a job after a horror decision like that. What the hell was he looking at?

 

[Zeshan547]

Thank God shams I didn't played two tests, i think we would have lost 2-0

 

[Rana]

What about rohail can he slog

Anyone can slog if thats the point

Can they connect and clear? I think not

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Babar shouldn't open again

 

[Local.Dada]

This 3rd umpire seems to want to correct all the wrongs of Shakoor Rana, a new messiah

 

[UzmanBeast]

Pitch is getting some turn.

Qadir + Nawaz should get appreciable turn on a more worn out wicket.

Shamsi is looking dangerous.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

lol "King Misbah", the spineless idiot just doesnt know what players to play where lol

dumb idiot lol "King" hahaah

 

[Rana]

Talat clearly showed he has T20 shots against spinners. Hopefully this isnt overlooked

 

[Mamoon]

Have our batsmen ever played left arm spin, be it SLA or wrist spin before? They look clueless.

They are all used to Imad’s gun-barrel straight bowling.

Whenever India plays Pakistan next, Kuldeep will be among the first names on the team sheet for India.

 

[Shafi]

looks like the series could be a mirror of SL D vs Pakistan under Misbah.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan looking ugly out there

 

[ARK Rafay]

After 10 overs. Rizwan 31 of 31.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Well no one is “that” good in Pakistan, it is all relative. Even our best batsman is a B+ player.

We are a very poor cricket team.

Talat getting shafted for the likes of Asif Ali and Ahsan Ali was quite dumb.

Anwar Ali is better than all of them and he isnt even a batsmen lol

 

[Omer2002]

Pitch is getting some turn.

Qadir + Nawaz should get appreciable turn on a more worn out wicket.

Shamsi is looking dangerous.

No not the pitch only Shamzi...he is quality paks wont have a clue how to read him. Lucky he was injured in tests

 

[JibranAnsari]

I am so thankful that i can mute my tv

 

[castortroy]

If your getting video assisted decisions wrong then you are in the wrong profession

 

[UzmanBeast]

Rizwan's not a T20 player.

I don't know how many times we need to establish this.

Bring back Sarfaraz for T20.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

That too against a C team?!

31(30) now

 

[angrypathan]

Six.

 

[Zeshan547]

That shot brought back memories of that Auckland knock.

 

[coy0607]

Neither Rizwan or Talat are T20 batsmen. Both in the team for performance in longer formats

The top order needs to be reworked

 

[IMMY69]

Talat deserves to get a chance in tests and ODI's

But they keep playing him in the wrong format.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Back to back sixes by Rizwan to Dala

 

[silentkiller187]

Those 2 were for the haters

 

[Shafi]

Certain thing M Wasim is clueless. You cannot select someone based on top chart.

 

[DeadBall]

Qadir is going to be lethal here. Rizwan back to back sixes

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dala

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Are you kidding me! Even a 8 year old would tell you that’s not out

Anyone can slog if thats the point

Can they connect and clear? I think not

Bismillah khan is another one

 

[Titan24]

Much needed sixes. Rizwan needs this intent from the start, his power game as improved but, that mindset needs to change especially if he is to open with Babar

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Would you prefer 20 of 10 and then out, which is the way the rest are going at the moment.

Yess??? Of course?

You just need one person to click and the rest to have 20s and outs and you’re set for a 180 score.

That’s how modern teams play T20 cricket these days.

Right now we’re sitting at 71 at the halfway mark because of Rizwan. To get to 180, we need 110 runs in the remaining 10 overs, in other words we need to be striking at a SR of 183 for 10 consecutive overs.

 

[Sir-fraz]

Those 2 were for the haters

Bro there is no point of getting dot balls and then hittinf 2 sixes. He put other batsmen under pressure earlier...

 

[Local.Dada]

I don’t get the Rizwan hate. Very good player. Most importantly mentally tough and has enough skills to compliment it.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a magnificent shot to bring up 50

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 off 35 for Rizwan - Lovely 3 sixes in the over to get it

Well played1

 

[castortroy]

How small are some of the boundaries

 

[Rana]

Lets face it, this guy is going to be our T20 opener for the world cup

 

[ARK Rafay]

31 off 31 and then 50 in 35 balls.

Well done Rizwan.

 

[silentkiller187]

50 of 35 what has any of our other batsmen done, but rizwan is to blame, welcome to pp pakistani fan logic.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bismillah khan is another one

Complete hack

 

[UzmanBeast]

No not the pitch only Shamzi...he is quality paks wont have a clue how to read him. Lucky he was injured in tests

Get to the pitch of the ball and Shamsi is negotiated. He doesn't have a quicker one to push you back.

He's not as good as we're making him out to be.

 

[angrypathan]

50 for Rizwan. Strangely paced but oh well

 

[Titan24]

50 for Rizwan. The last 6 was the best. Total of 4 6s I think

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Talat deserves to get a chance in tests and ODI's

But they keep playing him in the wrong format.

Yeah he looks more like an ODI player.

Rizwan with 3 much needed 6's .

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan’s horizontal bat salute after a 50 is so annoying.

 

[reversehook]

crow pie, as if he was reading some of the comments...

 

[Omer2002]

well rizzy has changed gears which should have been done earlier...

 

[chacha kashmiri]

This is like watching Hong Kong 6ers

 

[Zeshan547]

Ab boli sab keyboard experts, kesa dia? " Rizwan"

 

[CricketBuff]

Qadir is going to be lethal here. Rizwan back to back sixes

If the dew allows him.

 

[silentkiller187]

Yess??? Of course?

You just need one person to click and the rest to have 20s and outs and you’re set for a 180 score.

Can you remind me what the rest of the team has done, 50 of 35 sets us up nicely,he saved his wicket at the start while everyone else was falling he’s accelerating now, dunno what else you want.

 

[shady]

I just don't understand how Misbah is still stuck thinking about T20's likes its 2007. You'd think he's seen enough cricket around the world to know basic strategy.

 

[Kroll]

Boost mode activated by Rizwan, such a troll this lad

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan in beast mode here

 

[Rana]

Come on Chacha launch one!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I don’t get the Rizwan hate. Very good player. Most importantly mentally tough and has enough skills to compliment it.

He's one of Pakistan's most technically accomplished batsmen. I guess he gets the hate because he doesn't slog blindly.

 

[CricketBuff]

Now180 is achievable .

 

[shariqnoor]

Junior Dala is a poor man's Tino Best

 

[Thunderbolt14]

In most games, three sixes off an over would entirely kill the game. Right now it’s just brought us back on track. Rizwan needs to show these extra gears earlier in the game.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Ball is turning madly.

Qadir should do well with both a leg-break and a potent googly.

 

[silentkiller187]

Our slogger iftikhar can’t even get bat on ball 3 of 5 lol people asking for rizwan to slog earlier he would have got out sooner and we would have been exposed to this, at least we have a platform now.

 

[Mamoon]

Rizwan's not a T20 player.

I don't know how many times we need to establish this.

Bring back Sarfaraz for T20.

There is no difference between the two. Both need 25-30 balls to get going, but Rizwan is in better form and a much better keeper.

Pakistan doesn’t gain anything by replacing Rizwan with Sarfraz.

Rizwan, for all his shortcomings, is the only viable option in all three formats for now. There are no realistic replacements.

 

[Shafi]

What happened to Ifti? Loose all power shots. Batting like Sami Aslam.

 

[Kroll]

Platform set for a 200 here

 

[silentkiller187]

In most games, three sixes off an over would entirely kill the game. Right now it’s just brought us back on track. Rizwan needs to show these extra gears earlier in the game.

In most games other players contribute, you can’t rely on rizwan to carry the whole innings, he’s doing his best of what he can in this situation.

 

[Titan24]

Decent going. Need atleast 10 RPO in last 8

 

[Shafi]

Misbah buddy is out!!!

 

[Mamoon]

He's one of Pakistan's most technically accomplished batsmen. I guess he gets the hate because he doesn't slog blindly.

Won’t say he is technically accomplished considering the gaping hole between his bat and pad, but he has the typical grit of a WK batsman.

He is like Moin Khan but with more ability.

 

[DeadBall]

Should've played Danish.

 

[Energy]

As usual, Iftikhar is a liability in the team. Misbah style one trick pony hack is not good enough.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Braindead batting here.

Need to relax.

Slogging can come later on, just get the much needed runs safely right now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

In most games, three sixes off an over would entirely kill the game. Right now it’s just brought us back on track. Rizwan needs to show these extra gears earlier in the game.

he is not someone who can do that early on in his inns as he needs time to settle in so like 20 balls at least which is LOI's and T20's is not justified.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

That too against a C team?!

Who's in the B Team?

 

[castortroy]

Still can't understand that stumping

 

[Titan24]

Iftikhar still remains nervous at international level more often than not

 

[Kroll]

Rizwan's the only guy that's kept his form over the last year.

 

[Omer2002]

oh dearr chacha...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Should've played Danish.

Like they shouldn't have played Shaheen.
